Since then it bas gradually increased af the rate of 'about 200 a year, until to- day ft numbers 2,677, =. The history of this herd, now the largest in ihe world, dates back to 1873, When a Pend o'Reille Indian captured four little bison. calves two bulls and two heifers---by cut- ting them out of a stampeded herd on the Flathead Reservation in Mon- tana. In accordance with a peculiar characteristic, often noticed by old plainsmen, these young ereatures obediently followed the horses of the hunters who had slain or driven off their mothers. The Indian in question gave them to the Mission of St. Ignatius, where they were keptias pets and became as domesticated. as ordinary cattle. When the heifers were four years old each had a calf. From that time on they gradually increased in number, until, in 1884, there were thirteen head, and finding thé care of them too great a tax the mission decided to sell them. Ten head were bought for $250 apiece by C. C. A. Allard and Michel Pablo, who were ranch- ing on the reservation, and were shrewd enough to see that specimens of what was even then almost an ex- tinct animal would eventually be- come very valuable, The herd increased under their careful ghpervision; and-in a few years it became pogsible to sell fpe- timens at high prices. Some idea of the average rate of increase may be deduced from the observed fact that half the cows givé birth to calves every year, whilé twin calves are not uncommon, As a rule thé bison calf is a very hardy creature. There are instances. of - the Pablp- Allard calves finding their feet in less than a minute after birth and A Th Ov off, Frank OHver,| then Minister of the Interior, ob- tained for the Dominion Government an option bn the 600 unsold head be- longing to Pablo and Allard, and eventually they were all bought for $200,000. The "round-up" lasted two months, and was carried out by 75 cowboys, horsemen picked for their ability from Alberta, and was accomplished with a loss of less than one per cent. Since it became the property of " | the Canadian Government thés great herd has fared well in the new Na~ tional Park at Wainwright. The park is becoming a favorite resort of the traveller.

"During the first five months of 1916 the fire loss in Canada bas ex- ceeded that of January to May, 1915, by approximately $3,000,000, or $600,000 per month," continues the bulletin. At this rate of increase our fire loss will exceed. that of 1915 by | for the $7,200,000. "Canada has need of all her finan. cial resources. She is borrowing money to carry on the war, and is paying & per cent. interest thereon. The additional fire loss of 1916 would therefore pay "the interest charge on the recent war loan of $100,000,000, and would pay $2. 200,000 of the principal. Oanada's average annual fire loss, of over $23,- 000,000; would pay 5 per cent. in- terest on approximately half a billion dollars. Our fire loss is, however, some thing for Which we are receiv- ing no value, either financial or pat- in | riotic; it is simply a tax, due in great ] L1o care lonsneny, Thai Canadians they, 4 a whole, are tong ie' to avert."
