Forty years ago the bufialo roamed the Western prairie: by the tens oi thousands,.-wh'i1e the flights of blue rocks literally darken- ed the sun.

No word but “crime" can be applied to the extermination of the buflelo by White "Sportsmen.” At the same time. though nothing. can compen- sate for their loss, the wholesale de- etruction of one great species has served as the most poWeriul argu- ment for the preservation of others. This is the precedent cited when a close season is desired for any bird or beast. Some years ago it was found imperative to more rigorously protect the heer in Canada. The shooting of moose was prohibttod a}? together for a time, and the open season for cariboo, elk. and red deer was limited to a. very few days, The desired and was achieved and ‘the deer. increased in a. most gratiiying manner. in their pleasant home associations with their prey occupy very much the same position as railway rates in re- lation to freight. A popular Work- ing motto for both seems to be “All the Traffic Will Bear.” The deer are cast for the somewhat strenuoua role of traffic. It might appear at first sight that when the deer are no long- er so jealously: preserved and the mortality is higher among them, the wolves will decrease accordingly. L This is not so, for it must be borne T in mind that wolf is far more ten- acious of life than a deer, and is one of the most difficult of animal- to hunt. Besides, a timber wolf, when reinforced by his immediate family and a few neighbors, is something of g a hunter himself. He is not‘only a E nuisance, but a menace to all game. ’ cattle, and even to man himself. .10 a Head for Volvo... Ontario realizes this fact. and them is a bounty of $10 for the head of one of these animals, six dollars of . which is paid by the county where the animal is killed, and four (101-, lars by the province. Quebec pays !‘ no bounty, though the wolves there are much more numerous. Premier Parent, it is said, wishes to place a law on the statute books oflerlng a reWard to encourage their extermin- ation, and the Game Protective As- Sociatlon appointed a committee to wait on him and urge the matter.
