PAGE 2. THE RENAISSANCE OF THE BUFFALO . One of the least creditable inci- dents in the early history of the w,est after the coming of the white man, Was the near-extinction of the buffalo, one of the more creditable was the efl‘ective steps taken at the last moment to save the buffalo from utter extinction and bring him back, not to anything approaching his one-time numbers, but. to a pop- ulation that ensured the survival of this interesting and valuable animal. â€" ----J VII-v Olnvw- V~‘---C v.__ -_ At one time the buffalo ranged over the greater part of North Am- erica, and we know from the narra- tives of many of the early travellers and fur-traders that a hundred years or more ago they travelled in such incredible numbers over the plains of what is now Western Canada that the country was liter- ally black with them as far as the eye could reach. Nevertheless at the time of Confederation they were practically extinct in Britis North America as well as in the ’estern States. although it is estimated that they once numbered 75.000,000. How they were exterminated is not a tale to remember. One of the most picturesque links between the present and the past so far as the huti’valo is concerned, is the veteran Canadian poet Charles Mair, still living in Victoria and ap- proaching his ninetieth year. Mair knew the west when the buffalo might still be seen in their native state. and was so impressed with the tragedy of their extinction that LL... in 1890 he published, through the Rnyal Society of Canada. an appeal that aroused the interest. of thoughtful men. Some years later steps were taken to save this van- ishing race of native Canadian mam- mals. with such success as may be seen 10â€"day in the west. It so happened that, almost accid- entally. a few bufi‘alo had been sav- ed when the rest of the Pace disap- peared. A man named Michel Pablo tinally built up a herd of over six hundred in Montana. The Canadian government bought these and had them carefully transported to what is known as Butl’alo National Park. in Alberta, about midway between Saskatoon and Edmonton. In this area of one hundred thousand acres the bulfalo have thriven and multi- plied until even that large area be- came insullicient to support their numbers. .- AAA- lL‘lIIIU‘ 5 n4. During the summer of 1925 the experiment was tried of transportâ€" ing sixteen hundred of these buffalo to the wooded country to the west- ward of Great Slave Lake, where there were already known to be about two thousand wood bull‘alo in a natural state. The experiment worked so well that last year over two thousand more bulfalo were sent north from the Park and this year the same number will be taken up to join their brethren. In addition about two thousand animals have been slaughtered from time to time, and disposed of in the public mark- et. to keep down the numbers of the herd. Nevertheless there Will be about six thousand bull'alo in the park. ‘1 Y‘-‘,IP..1 n-I' ed, in 1874, from the Red River to the Rocky Mountains. The march has become famous in military his-' tory for its 2,000 mile push through unknown territory and among hos- tile tribes of Indians. From 1876 to 1881 brilliant service was rendered by the Police in controlling the Sioux Indians. who entered the North West Territories after the defeat of General Custer in the 1 United States. As the buffalo diminished on the prairies the Indian problem increas- ed. The Canadian Pacific Railway was thrust across the plains in the 80’s, and the construction brought armies of foreign laborers into the western country. Immigration fol- lowed. All the elements of lawless- ness and frontier unrest were pre- sent. But the police, too, were there, and by strength and effi- ciency and incorruptible adminis-a tration order was preserved. It‘ was during these days the men in scarlet really won their spurs. In the South Afican war troopers from the Force served with the Canadian contingents, and in the Great War two squadrons were raised for overseas service, one in France and one in Siberia. But the military aspect of the Mounted Police work has largely passed, and today there is a great variety to its duties, such as guarding against prairie fires and Visiting lonely set- tlers during the winter, Arctic pa- 1trols, prevention of sale and smug- gling of narcotics, the administraâ€" ltion of the Naturalization Act, the ICanada Temperance Act, the Quar- antine act, and all the diverse F ed- eral laws which require police aid. In 1905 the prefix “Royal” was given to the Force after conspicu- ous work in the Yukon Territory during the gold-rush days. 'â€" In 1920 the Police lost its strictly Western character and became a Dominion wide body. The head- quarters. which for many years had been at Regina, Saskatchewan. moved to Ottawa. For nearly forty years the Mounted Police had been prominent in the rapid develop- ment of the. prairie city of Regina. but. to-day with headquarters in the capital its constables travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from {the international boundary to Ellesâ€" tmere Island in the Arctic. -0 nnn IIILTA (J LalutxlA 5‘. a--- ___-- _ From the original force of 300 men the Mounted Police has grown to a strength of over 1,000. When it was formed the training was that of a British cavalry regiment, while toâ€"day it varies from horsemanship to criminal detection and the study 01’ the law.
