XV This is a mighty capable little rifle as to accuracy and penetration, and has : : in no way been weakened by the Ficaan in w aeiohe nor has acl quality been sacrificed to make the cost as low as it is. The good old Ballard system of rifling is main- tained here as is the special gun-barre! steel in the barrel. The breech block, receiver and all work- ing parts are made of the J7%r%yq quality of gun frame steel; all working points hardened against wear. The walnut of. stock and sliding fore-end is the best to be had. Think of a repeating rifle that ee only 3 pounds 10 ounces! And be sure to examine one of these Marlin Baby Featherweight Repeaters be- fore selecting a .22 for the vacation trip. The action is on the trombone system and handles the .22 short cartridge but by means of an extra carrier, readily inserted, .22 long-rifle cartridges can be used, thus making this handy little arm a weapon of no mean execution. We cannot urge you too strongly to look at one of these rifles if your dealer has one in stock. The Marlin featherweight .22 1s a most entertaining companion for the fishing trip, hunting trip or vacation wherever it may take you. The cost is small, the ammunition is cheap and light to carry, and the fun to be had with one of these rifles is Immense.

I Rod and Gun’s Birthday. [BY ans covet mark stages of growth | and development, and for that rea- son, in the case of individuals, are reckoned important dates in one’s exist- ence. They are no less important in the history of a Magazine, and when, as_ in Our own case, they show as they come round marked expansion and a wide de- velopment, they cannot be allowed to Pass over in silence. The year that has Zone since we last addressed our readers On this subject has been marked by de- velopments all along the line. The cir- culation has grown rapidly and contin- uously and our friends are ever on the increase. Contributions have come from far and near, all concerned with some fine feature of our own homeland, and showing in a wonderful way how both Canadians and visitors are becoming alive to the marvellous inheritances to which we are heirs. With our larger audience, and our wider area from which to draw stories, which maintain at a high level the interest taken in all outdoor life, it has necessarily followed that the users of our advertising pages have been given additional advantages. We have been told from many quarters that each month has shown an improve- ment upon its predecessor, and that while developments have brought their own difficuities we have succeeded almost be- yond our hopes in surmounting them. If all that our good friends have told us about the Magazine can be taken without the proverbial grain of salt, it is largely due to them that such things have been made possible. They have by their kindly consideration and help, so encour- aged us in our endeavors that we can count successes in the cause of Forest, Fish and Game Protection throughout Canada, and the end isnot yet. The good work has still to go on. The virtues of the outdoor life have yet to be preached to wider audiences and there are greater successes ahead. The more we do, the more we realize the immensity of the work to be done and the place that ‘‘Rod and Gun’’ may yet fill. Canadians cannot realize—small blame to them with their busy lives—the wonderful country they inhabit. It is easy to talk of areas and to quote large figures, but it is far from easy to realize their meanings. The educational work of the Magazine is done in a different 4 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. fashion and its success proves the effect- iveness of the course chosen. Exploring papers, containing real ad- ventures, teach in a way no lesson could do. Hunting and fishing experiences create a deep and wide interest in our big game and our fish, and help to form a public opinion, which will in its turn in- sist upon effective protection, better than all the preaching and all the dry official reports could possibly accomplish. All these papers likewise direct attention to Canada in a way nothing else could do, and perform a serviceto the country in bringing visitors from all parts of the world, and particularly from the neigbor- ing Republic. These visitors do a good deal more for the country than many peo- ple imagine. It is not merely that they spend their money freely upon a passing visit, but they are often led to assist in development work of which we have more than enough to occupy us for many generations. In the numerous outings during our glorious summer time of which the Magazine gives records, and in autumn trips and winter camps there is no more welcome visitor than ‘‘Rod and Gun.” From one end of the country to the other all that concerns Out-of-Doors is pictur- ed by word and photograph. In this wide field ‘‘Rod and Gun” stands supreme. Its information is all first hand; it gives actual facts, it increases amongst Cana- dians a knowledge of their own country, and it affords outsiders asplendid means of learning much of the magnificent fields for recreation and sport presented by every Province of the Dominion. Like the wonderful country which gave it birth the Magazine is growing all the time. The rapidity of this growth has rendered the work so difficult that it has not at any time been all we could wish. Our many friends have been ‘*To our virtues very kind And to our faults a little blind.” We take advantage of this occasion to assure Our numerous and ever increasing band of readers that they all individually strengthen the position of the Magazine for good. Every subscriber is of mater- ial assistance in helping us in the cam- paign for a healthier, better, higher, life in God’s Out-of-Doors and for the main- tenance of our glorious forests, of the big game found therein, and of the protection they give to the rivers and consequently to the fish. Our contributors have helped us won- - derfully well and to each of them our thanks are due and hereby tendered. They have enabled us to produce a Magazine each month that in its wonder- - ful variety, freshness, and extent of ground and subjects covered is unequalled in its own field. Outdoor life in all its forms has received treatment from such a variety of competent people as to inter- est our army of readers andto spread abroad a gospel which cannot fail to prove most beneficial to our whole people. Those who provide the sinews of war —our advertisers — are not forgotten. We believe that one and all have profited and that largely from the use they have made of the advertising pages of *‘Rod and Gun.” Although with them it is a business proposition — and one of the best at that—our thanks are nevertheless due to them for their enterprise. We are pleased with their successes for it assures the growing strength of the Magazine and its increasing usefulness to the country. The large growth in circulation, and the increasing size of the Magazine, has necessitated larger facilities for the print- ing and publishing all of which are being provided. This will enable us to deal with the growth for atime, although if the Magazine continues to go ahead as fast as ithas done in the past, further additions will have to be made. The outlook for the coming year is hopeful, and those responsible for the conduct of the Magazine are so deeply impressed with its past usefulness and its future possibilities that they are deter- mined, so far as is humanly possible, to endeavour to improve upon the past year and to meet readers, contributors, and advertisers next year with the conscious- ness of having given them better service and having deserved, in some measure, the strong support, the kindly considera- tion, and the unswerving loyalty, of which, from past experience, they are assured. be on ; a SF ee ‘\¢ OUT FOR A PADDLE. Canoeing. BY -R.-L. TO the heart of the true Canadian, | Canoeing is as dear as_ his ™ apple pie and this is saying a very great deal. The comparison may be a trifle strange and far fetched, but nevertheless it is true and after all that is what counts in comparisons. There is such a world of pleasure in ‘‘paddling your owncanoe,” in wielding the power which runs your craft yourself. True—the throbbing rush of the motor boat is fascinating but then its noisy kingdom is confined more or less to deep waters—usually far from shore and the ‘‘launches” (if such they may be called) know not the glowing pleasures and heart throbs contained in our stout little friend the graceful cedar canoe. Everyone knows that captivating, itch- ing impulse which seizes one towards the end of March. The river is still closed up—a winding twisting mass of glowing, sparkling ice—but from the many boat houses come the familiar sounds of the Spring cleaning. It is almost pathetically amusing to note these signs of Spring as you stroll along the banks. In front of almost every shack, on stout wooden horses, on boards, and even on the bare ice, a boat of some kind is to be seen, in nine cases out of ten be- smeared in army fashion with the ‘‘nice drabs” and ‘‘heavy greys” which are so dear to the trappers’ hearts. From the darker recesses within, comes the clank- ing, jangling chorus of many steel traps, FORTT. mingled in pleasing confusion, with the sticky odor of tar and paint. The river may be locked up, the snow a foot deep, but over all the sun is shining withthat vigorous springy attention which he always wears on just such a morning. You can’t help whistling and with that same tingling impulse you turn sharply towards your own boat-house and fumble for your key. A week later, andsuch a change ! The stretch of dazzling ice is replenished by forty feet of oozing, muddy water, and nothing is left of winter but a scant strip of edge ice clinging pathetically to either shore. You shove off and push slowly up stream, revelling in every stroke, feeling with tingling satisfaction the pleasing ‘‘ezve’’? to your ash paddle and wondering just how fast you could go this season if.you ‘‘let yourself out.” We all know that first paddle. You want to dwell on everything, on all the perfect shadows and even the ever-winding wake you leave behind claims your attention. And then the joy of exploration moving slowly up stream and pushing the nose of your graceful little craft into everv hidden bay. The springy side of Canoe- ing is certainly a bright one !- The picturesque but somewhat clumsy birch Canoes are fast disappearing and their places, generally speaking, is filled by our little cedar crafts. The former certainly had advantages, and the men ‘who knew” could turn out a_ very 6 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. IN QUIET WATERS. to creditable piece of work. To sum up the chief qualities of the birch bark, it was very light and fragile as a rule, rather cumbersome and very unsteady. It takes an expert canoeist to handle a birch boat if any sea is running, while a ra- pids is out of the question for all but our expert paddlers. Its thin sides and high bows though greatly strengthened by pine pitch etc. were easily pierced and if run- ning in treacherous water you were usually fairly sure of one swim per trip. So takingit all inall our modern little boat far outclasses the birch affair. Even the Indians themselves have come round and now the bark canoe is almost a curiosity. In long portages, however there is no getting over the fact that the lightest canoe is the canoe and a featherweight birch craft which you can swing to your shoulders and make time with ease is certainly an advantage. And here! might say a few words about the care of your boat. Never put your canoe in the water each Spring with- out first giving it a good coating of paint. Above all things don’t simply plaster on layer after layer each year without first removing the old paint. It only means a few hours’ work and if neglected in a few seasons, yourlittle craft will weigh “‘tons.”’ Get a good alcohol lamp and burn the old paint very carefully and slowly away in- side and out, using a __ sharp putty knife to scrape off the crumbling shavin g's. There’s no denying it —this mean s time and after three or Palme hours’ of ‘*bending”’ your back will com- plain most earnestly . But stick it and yourcanoe will be just about twice as valuable in every way than if left alone. Never put paint on a wet boat. If the painting is looked after before the first trip each Spring the wood will be in ex- cellent condition to receive it. In ‘‘hard- stopping” mix your material yourself and do the work carefully and slowly filling every little crack or a trace of one precisely. Your paddles should be kept well var- nished particularly where the ‘‘blade be- comes handle” as the action of the hand here speedily erases the varnish. If the blade becomes the least bit split get at it at once with a good pair of tweezers and copper wire and ‘‘sew it.”’ In return- ing from a trip of any sort turn the boat over, being sure toget all the superfluous water shipped by the paddle or other- wise washed out. Then if possible have the canoe upside down on wooden horses. In long trips of several hundred miles through rocky broken country usually there are many portages ; if they are short youare lucky. These same rough portages are the downfall—literally—of many splendid canoes. If you have to make your own way let the man with the pack go ahead—-well ahead and take an axe. The other should carry the canoe and more slowly, a false step in such country often puts you ‘‘up against it.”’ A FOUL. No matter how short a pull overland is ahead of you always ‘‘lift your canoe;” if you pick up the bow and drag along sooner or later you are pretty sure to regret it. A bunged up boat two hundred miles from nowhere is a most disgusting proposition and the safest way is to avoid all possibilities of such a fix. If you’re on a long portage, fix yourself as com- fortably as possible, balance your canoe steadily on your shoulders and take your time. The paddles should be strapped securely to the thwarts well out of the way and the canoe to make decent pro- gress, should be absolutely empty. An ordinary cedar or basswood canoe if well put together, handled decently and looked after, ina general way, with or- dinary care should be perfectly good in every respect after ten seasons’ work. In our Regattas, at all the Summer re- sorts (which are by the way, becoming A SWIM COMING ; ITS UP TO HIM. tte 8 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. more ana more popular every year and deservedly too) our canoes are much in evidence. Little fifteen footers strut around among their larger comrades in all the pride and splendor of full war paint. Great awkard War Canoes man- ned with twenty paddles move majesti- cally this way and that while the tiny launches pop in and out creating a mild disturbance wherever they go and scatter- ing like chaff the luckless crafts in their path. The Sailing canoes with their sheets of glaring canvas flit around and across thesparkling waters and all in all a good regatta makes a very pretty scene. In the paddling rac- es it is peculiar to note the many dif- ferent strokes. The average Canuck swings his paddle with the easy grace of the native. The long, sweeping stroke and _light- ning return are de- lightfully typical and for general pur- poses is away ahead of the short jerky stroke sometimes seen. However the In- dians still stick to this abreviated ac- tion and if followed by a very sharp re- turn it is effective in running small courses. over A sailing canoe if properly rigged out isa very desirable article and really canoe sailing is almost an art. Good pie boardsthough not a necessity area great alvantage and a three inch wooden ceel wi e matters a grea al. keel will help tt great deal JUST Eighteen feet is a splendid length. Give your craft lots of beam and build her deep. Itis a matter of taste whether you close up your boat Rob Roy fashion Or not but if you cover it in lot of you losea space and for general purposes SWINGING ROUND. good long decks are all that is needed._ Above all things don’t try to make your boat carry too -much sail. Skilfully handled a small sheet will do won- ders and if you strike a heavy wind you must have your sail thoroughly under your control or a swim may be the result. Have everything running smoothly and the reefing cordage always in condition. Never sail without a paddle or so in the boat for if the wind should die down you're ‘‘up against it” and a rudder or thwart is a poor thing to make the shore with. For cruising you want a good length serviceable canoe built as light as is wise to stand the bumps and scratches which it is the lot of cruising canoes to put up with. An eighteen foot boat is here away ahead of the smaller crafts and is the oneusually used. Two men can make much bet- ter time in a larger canoe. In long trips the backing and balancing of the canoe is an art and no matter how light the boat, it soon at- tains double its weight, or seems to. I have seen some men who could pack in one boat and have ‘room to-spare lug- gage which novices would have difficulty to get in two. The great secret of all these trips is to ‘‘go light’ and the more trips the canoeist takes the less he brings with him each year. Atthe end of every season he finds he can easily do without some little article which perhaps he has lugged with him for half a dozen years without using. Manufacturers are now making every- thing in the campers line as compact and convenient as possible. Condensed : Tes AGAINST: Li. + milk has long been popular and I see now that the Jatest thing out is ‘‘condensed eggs.” If you cruise alone you can bring the choosing and packing of your outfit down to a science, and I once heard an old woodsman humorously remark that, at a pinch hecould get along with a good knife, a camp pail and an extra shirt. The average camper, however, rarely cuts things quite so close and usually includes a few luxuries along with the ‘‘bare necessities” A very important item, often carelessly overlcoked on long trips is the paddle. It is a strange thing that, though many of our Canoe companies turn out boats practically perfect in every detail, the paddles they usually ship with them are abtominably poor and here I might say, that you will never be really satisfied until you turn out your own paddles then GEE ! IT’S COLD ! fe) ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA - build them just according to your ideas— the way you think a paddle should be modelled. You very rarely see two canoeists who agree on this vexed question and it is very seldom indeed that the same style of paddle suits different people. The man with the reach wants ‘‘all handle’”’ with a blade to match and yet you could hardly imagine the same instrument in the hands of aman _ standing, say, five foot, four. Again I repeat that until you take off your coat and ‘‘get busy” on your own paddle you will never be quite content. The first article you turn out may bea curiosity but stick to it, get a good pat- tern and persevere. Sooner or later you are bound to turn out something which ‘fits you down to the ground.” How a Deer B7WE correspondent writes from Parry Harbor, Ont. :—‘‘We hada peculiar experience during the course of our hunting trip last year which may interest many ofyourreaders. At the beginning of the season our party numbered eight all told, and we had such success that six of our friends returned to Uncle Sam’s do- mains on November tenth. The two who were left decided to remain for the bal- ance of the season and have some duck shooting. On the last day of the open sea- son, accompanied by ourguide, Jack Millar” from the Parry Island Reserve, we went over to Franklin Island which we had before visited and where we had met with tolerable success. We were very desirous of completing our legal limit before breaking up camp and had de- cided that our best chances of success in that endeavor was to again try our luck on Franklin Island. During the day wesaw several deer and tried our hands at long range though in each case the game got safely away. We had al- most reached the end of the island when in passing a small ‘lake our dogs began to give tongue. They ran for a_ short distance and then appeared to cometoa stand barking hard all the time. The guide went to see what possible sort of animal our dogs had treed, and ina minute or two we heard him calling to us to go over and see for ourselves. We hurried over the ridge and down the slopeon thefurtherside to a thicket where the dogs were still barking lustily. We had to make our way into this thicket betore we could see what had happened. The sight that then met our gaze caused us considerable astonishment. We found Got Caught. | the guide holding by the eara fine year- ling buck which was suspended by the strips between twotall whitewood trees, his front feetjust reaching the ground. About four feet away was a fallentree. After a full examination of the ground and thorough discussion of the position in the light of our experience and what we saw we came tothe following solution ofthe mystery :—Our dogs coming suddenly — upon the deer and causing it a great fright it was bounding off when it found this fallen tree across its path. In leaping over this obstruction the deer alighted fairly between the two smooth trees. Its head and front quarters must have enter- ed the opening at its widest part which measured only ten inches. The hind quarters had caught between the trees and the more the animal struggled to free itself the further down it sank until release was hopeless, it being sus- pended by its hips. We bled it and afterwards lifted it up and out of the opening at the place where it had enter- ed. Indeed this was the only way we could get the animal loose, Now I have hunted deer for many seasons and got them in some very peculiar places. Never before however did I find one suspended between two trees and still alive. To our great regret the camera had not been taken with us on that day or we might have obtained a picture that would have been well worth preserving. There were three of us who witnessed this in- cident and it may well be that some of your readers could tell us of instances ‘of deer being ‘theld up” in equally strange fashion.

When about four miles off the basin the centre board was broken by a squall from the North West. Thus crippled it was impossible to make the Harbor and it was decided to run before the wind for Lion’s Head.

Leaving the lake one morning, they fol- lowed the Lefroy glacier to its head and started to ascend what is now known as the Mitre pass.

At the extreme head of the valley, fed by avalanches from the precipitous sides of Hungabee and Lefroy, lies the Horse- shoe Glacier. A little further down, are beautiful open meadows dotted with groves of larch and spruce through which many small streams flow from the glacier and snow-slopes above. One of these streams is worthy of espec- ial notice. It flows through the meadows for nearly a quar- ter of amile over an almost level floor of quartzite, and then entering a grove of spruce, plunges over a series of ledges whichvery much resemble a huge stairway. A little further down the valley is heavily tim- bered but agood trail leads either direct from Lake Louise or up the valley from the wagon road to Moraine lake,so that thetraveller of the present day can see the same beauties as the pioneer explorers, without enduring their hardships. Second Annual Camp. Arrangements for the Second Annual Camp, which is to be held in the Rocky Mountains of the Pro- vince of Alberta, are now so far-advanced ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 5 that the circular giving these arrange- ments in detail has been issued, and members are busy making their personal engagements fit in with freedom for the first fortnight in July. This year instead of starting ona Monday the Camp will open on Thursday, July 4th, giving visitors from a_ distance an opportunity of travelling to the scene during the week, and will close on the following Thursday, enabling many to reach their homes, or different points at which they may have engagements,the same week. The programme is a full one and includes daily trips to many places of interest, a two days’ round trip, official climbs Sic. A meeting was held at Banff at the end of April to consider the organization of the camp to be held in Paradise Valley near the charm- ing Lake Louise. Paradise val- ley is One of the most attractive spots of the Rocky M oun- » tains of Alberta. - The peaks are higher, more ruggedand more worthy of achievement than in the Yoho valley. A copy of the camp cir- cular will be found below. The mountain outfitters, who so loyally and generously contributed their own and the services of their men and horses to the first annual camp in the Yoho val- ley, were invited to attend the meeting at Banff. Arrangements were made with them to furnish transport for the second annual camp. Their names are as fol- lows:—R. E. Campbell of Laggan and Field ; Otto Bros., of Field, Leanchoil and Golden; E. C. Barnes of Banff, and S. H. Baker of Glacier. These men are trustworthy, reliable and competent. Parties arranging trips in the mountains cannot do betterthan secure their services. PINNACLE MOUNTAIN, OVERLOOKING PARADISE VALLEY. 7 Sixty-five mountain ponies wil] be in daily use at the camp. Visitors to the camp who are interest- edin the flowers of the region should have with them Mrs. J]. W. Henshaw’s book, ‘‘The Mountain Wild Flowers of Canada.”’ The simplicity of the text en- ables those whose scientific knowledge is limited to easily identify the numercus species. The book is arranged accord- ing toa scheme of colors and, on this account, the identification of flowers by outdoor collectors is much simplified. It is well indexed under both scientific and everyday English names. The Publish- eris William Briggs, of Toronto, and the price is $2.00. Professor Herschel C.

Mr. Wheeler has the matter of the Club’s annual journal wel] in hand. It will be a substantial magazine sumptuous- ly illustrated. Sir Sandford Fleming has contributed an article giving reminiscen- ces of mountain experiences, Mr. Wm.

The President has written on the Canadian Rocky Mountain system asa field for mountaineers: and the Secretary (Mrs. E. Parker) has dealt with the relation of the Club to Canada. In addition to these, there are articles by other mem- bers who have spent many summers in the Canadian Alps. The members are entitled to one number, gratis. Two thousand copies will be issued and put upon the market. Members who desire to attend the Paradise valley camp are requested to give notice as soon as possible, as ac- comodation will only be provided for those sending such notice before the 20th of June. Those who do not send noti- fication must not feel dissatisfied rf, when _ they arrive at the camp, they find that no accomodation ‘has been made for them.

The following is the full text of the Camp circular containing an outline of all the announcements made so far :— The Camp will be situatedin Paradise valley, near the beautiful Lake Louise, at an altitude of six thousand three hundred feet above the sea. It will open on Thursday, July 4th and close on Thursday, July 11th. A start willbe made from Laggan Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Members attending may go direct to the camp, orif they have preparations to make, may start from Lake Louise Chalet, three miles from the Station and five from the Camp. Those who find it possible, are advised to gather at the Chalet on the evening of July 3rd, but thetrains through- out the week will be met. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. The number of persons who can attend is limited to two hundred. You re, therefore, requested to notify the Presi- - dent, at the earliest possible date. Appli- cations to attend will be accepted in the order received, due allowance being made for distance. CHARGES Active and Associate members will be charged at the rate of two dollars ($2.00) per day while at the Camp. This does not include hotel expenses. The charge at Lake Louise Chalet, to members, will be at the rate of three dollars ($3.00) per day during the week. All Graduating members who qualify for active membership will be charged at the above rate. All Graduating members who fail to qualify, and ail persons, other thas members, except as hereinafter specified, will be charged at the rate of three dol- lars ($3.00) per day. Otherwise, except in the case of certified representatives of Scientific Societies and of the Press, it is necessary to become a member of the Club to attend the Camp. All nominations to membership must be proposed by three Active members and be in the hands of the Secretary of the Club not later than the 25th June. Certified representatives of Scientific Societies and of the Press will be placed on the same footing as Active members with regard to the privileges of the Camp. Members to be eligible for the privileg- es of the Camp must be in good standing; that is, have paid their dues for the eur- rent year. : TRANSPORT Arrangements have been made with the outfitters to hire fifty ponies for the week of the Camp. The above charges include transports of camp baggage, and as far as possible, of visitors to and from the Camp, andto and from the various points of interest, for which ex- cursions will be arranged daily. Those using busses to drive to the Chalet, or to the nearest driving point to the Camp, will be charged with the usual tariff rate. No person attending may bring more than forty pounds of baggage. If in ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 59 excess of that amount, transport will be refused until the weight has been reduc- ed to the limit. Camp baggage should be as light as possible aud should consist of two pairs of blankets weighing about fifteen pounds, a small feather pillow, a change of clothes and boots, toilet articles, etc. No trunks or boxes can be handled. COSTUME Those intending to climb require heavily soled boots, well set with nails. Knickerbockers, puttees, sweater and knockabout hat furnish a serviceable costume. No lady who wears skirts or bloomers will be allowed to take a place upona chmbing rope, as they are a distinct source of danger to the party. Knicker- bockers with puttees or gaiters and sweater will be found serviceable and safe. Each member who intends to climb should bring a pair of colored glasses. Colored mica glasses are suggested. They can be bought from any druggist. Please state on what date you will ar- rive at Laggon and for how many days you will remain in camp. Those who can only remain between Sundays are privileged to come to the Camp on the 2nd July, but the official opening will not be until the 4th July- Prior to the opening date, all members will be supplied with membership cards, and on registering at the Camp, with badges. Those unable to produce their cards and badges when required will not be afforded transportation during the week. It is expected that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will give the same rates as last year, viz: — areturn trip for a single fare from all points on their lines in Canada. Notifications will de sent later. The choice of two mountains will be offered for the official graduating climb, viz:—Mt. Temple eleven thousand six hundred and twenty six feet and Mt. Aberdeen ten thousand three hundred and forty feet above sea level. Two Swiss guides, loaned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Hotel Depart- ment, will be in attendance. All Graduating members elected prior to the Camp of 1906, who have not qualified for Active membership at the end of 1907, will then ceaseto be mem- bers of the Club. Arthur O. Wheeler, President.

At the close of the war he preferred to remain in the country, and being by profession a mining engineer he found ample scope for his services.

East Africa is now said to be one of the few countries where visiting sportsmen can be reasonably sure of finding big 60 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. game. The following are the extracts from Lieut. Gibbs’ diary: [a Camp, on the Summit of the Man Mountains, Feb. &th, 1907. Am returning from my trip towards the German East African Border and ex- pect to be in Naivasha in two days’ time. Today makes the twenty-fourth day since leaving Naivasha and I have been very lucky indeed shooting everything. I came here for Neuman’s Hartibeest, Wilderbeest, Topi, Eland, Giraffe, Hy- ena, Wild Dog, Leopard and Lions. I have had fine sport and some very excit- ing times so will have many a yarn to spin to you When we'meet again. , There are only four other species of big game in this country now that I have not shot and [ am going to have a try for three of * these yet. These are elephant, kudoo, oryx and buffalo. Elephant I shall have to give up an idea of this time as it is the wrong season of the year for this country and [donot want to go imto Uganda for them as it is in the bad fever districts where they are found. The camp Iam now writing trom is about [2,000 feet elevation on the sum- mit of the Nan Escarpment and it is quite cold, ice at night, think of it, and almost on the Equator too! think one of the happiest days of my lite was the day following the night when I bagged my first lions. I suppose there are not twenty-five per cent of the sports- men who come here and spend five or six months who go away witha lion. This is how it happened: On the 29th I shot a cow giraffe by mistake. It is difficult to tell the difference between the cow and the bull at a distance and as my Shikari said one of five wasthe largest and a bull | promptly shot it at a distance of three hundred yards. It is against the law to kill a female and you are only al- lowed to kill one bull giraffe tor which you have to pay a special license of five pounds which | had taken out. An_ in- fringement of this law is liable to a fine of some 800 rupees so as there was only the Shikari and myself present at the time we left the giraffe and came away. The next morning being again out for giraffe, my Shikari, whom I sent on ahead withthe pony to scout for lions at ‘after them. some kills I had left out for them (it be- ing about 5:30 a. m.) came back and re- ported that he had come across a giraffe which had been killed by lions and_ par- tially eaten. (This was for the special benefit of the camp followers who were with me). The fact that lions had vis- ited the carcass and eaten a _ portion of the giraffe was however quite true enough as I plainly saw on visiting it, so I decidedto sit up that night and had a clump of bushes arranged within about ten feet of the carcass. That night two lions came within forty to fifty yardsand roared but they evidently suspected danger and did not pay a visit to the giraffe so nothing came of the first night’s vigil. I decided, however, to situp the next night also. What happened I will just copy from my diary which I wrote up the next day: Jan. 3lst, Thursday, 16th Day out from Naivasha. About 6 a.m. I took Jammar, my second Somali gun-bearer and a few men and started out down the valley after giraffe again. | saw no signs of giraffe until I had crossed over into the next Valley, where I sighted three, two old ones and a young one about three quar- ters grown. They were feeding on some trees at the edge of an open plain about halfa mile away. I was obliged to wait patiently about half an hour until the giraffe had passed into the bush and down a declivity and then started out I succeeded in getting with- in four hundred yards when I was con- fronted with an open space of one hun- dred and fifty yards on whichI came un- der the full view of the giraffe, which I couldsee feeding. I succeeded howeverin safely negotiating this by a painful ser- pent like crawl on my belly, thereby reaching the cover of some thin bushes, from which latter point of vantage I suc- cessfully stalked them to. within a hun- dred yards, when a careful examination with the glasses led to the disclosure that they were all females, very much to my disappointment. I had been walking about five hours, so decided to stop and have abite to eat and a drink and then returned to camp, reaching it about 6:30 p.m. After some dinner I then, with Oswan, my head Shikari, took up my ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 6% position beside the kill. I was very tired after nearly twelve hours’ walking during the day and was soon fast asleep, leaving Oswan to keep watch. Evidently he fol- lowed suit later on, for about one a. m. Iwas suddenly awakened by the most fearful crunching noise and the tearing of partially dried flesh, followed by a pe- culiar noise. I shall never forget the sensation as the lion mouthed and masti- cated the great»chunk it had ripped off. My heart commenced thumping like a steam hammer for there was no mistak- ing the sound.. No other animal could ‘rip, tear and crush flesh with such power. Theresucceeded to this first noise offlesh eating, quietness,a patter of padded feet, which told methat the lion or whatever it was had cleared and my hopes dropped to zero. Slowly, however, and with great caution I emerged from my _ blan- kets and got into position so that I could see out of the small peep hole in the bushes for that purpose, a sort of small port hole, and taking my double barrel- led 450 Cordite rifle across my knees awaited further developments. There was a moon, but it was obscured some- what by clouds which made sight very difficult. A few minutes passed, and then two lions were suddenly heard at the car- ‘cass; one at each end of it. A crunch, a tear, and then both of them scampered off again to return once more after a short interval. This time they were ap- _ parently satisfied that there was no dan- ger, for they commenced ripping and tearing away at a great rate. By strain- ing my eyes I could just dimly make out a moving form as it worked away at its midnight meal. As I continued to strain my eyes the form became clearer and I _ could see the lion take a bite and while _ chewing it turn its head and stare right into my face, not ten feet away. It evi- dently imagined it could see something but was not certain. The next problem was to get the rifle into position and an attempt or a guess at the sighting, with- out the least bit of noise, for that meant good-bye to the lions forever, if the slightest sound was made. Inch by inch between bites, I advanced the muzzle of the rifle, the lion each time turning its head and looking at me, until finally the rifle was in position to fire. The next few minutes were ones of great tension as I strained my eyes to their utmost to try and see the sights and get them lined on apoint which I thought would be the center of its shoulder but it was no use and I had simply to guess my best. The result I must leave to Allah and yet | felt that the dream of my existence de- pended upon the line that rifle was point- ing in, as I pulled the trigger and let loose, a 450 soft nosed messenger of death. Then a report like a clap of thunder boomed out on the stillness of the night, to be immediately followed by an almost equally loud roar from the throats of two lions simultaneously and I could see dimly two objects leap past my vision and then black despair settled down on me at the thoughts of having missed the only chance I_ might possibly ever have of bagging a lion. My _ feel- ings of disappointment at that moment were indescribable. I remained thus in the same position as when! had fired, with barrel of the rifle still half way through the ‘‘port-hole” and the butt at my shoulder, just how long I could not say (as I seemed to be in a sort of stupor of misery) when | was suddenly electri- fied to life again by a roar which seemed to come from the busha short distance in front and to one side of me; this noise was followed just afterwards by a curious mixture of roars, growls and groans in- describable in their sqund but in which appeared to be mixed a mass of pent up feelings of anger, surprise and anguish. Oswan touched me on the shoulder and whispered in my earn a tone of sub- dued excitement, ‘‘He dies! He dies! He is dead!” I thought so too, but my experience of lions being for the most part limited to zoos and circuses, | could only hope that it was true. Nevertheless not being able to see or verify the fact | was tormented by doubts andfears which only the ad- vent of daylight could solve and thus I must wait with what patience I could muster for the occasion. At one minute I was absolutely certain that I had hit fatally but the next minute when [| con- sidered all the conditions, not seeing the rifle sights, a very hazy object to fire at and the general excitement of the mo- 62 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. ment, | realized how easy it would be to miss. * [lay down in my blankets again and tried to sleep but couldn’t; I was so anx- ious to see the daylight, when we might go out to search for the wounded lion, if wounded it was. I lay thus for probably half an hour when a slight noise attracted my atten- tion, followed a few minutes later by the now familiar sound of the rending of flesh; then there was ascurrying of feet which told me another lion had come and taken a mouthful of the giraffe. After a bit a soft foot fall and the breaking of a twig informed me that Mr. Leo was re- turning for another helping and in a moment or two he was ripping away at the same point where I had fired at the first lion. Threedifferent times he ran away and returned by which time, being satisfied, he settled down to a good feed. The clouds had cleared somewhat by this time and as I looked out I could distinct- ly see his form and the outline of his foreleg. As before I very cautiously got the rifle into position and again did I strain my eyes for all they were worth. This time I thought I could just faintly see the foresight and then I found the line of the backsight, then I got a line on his forearm and slowly following this upward, pulled, as I thought the center of his shoulder was reached. The boom of the rifie was answered by a mighty roar of rage as I saw an object leap six feet into the air and tumble down behind the body of the giraffe on the opposite side of us. A succession of deep roars followed during which I quickly reloaded and prepared for a possible spring from the lion at us incase he was not too badly wounded todo so. However ina few minutes the roars subsided to moans and then all was quietness again. I now know for certain that I had killed a lion and with a delicious feeling of having at last accomplished a long cherished wish, | again rolled myself up in my blankets ahd left Oswan to keep watch until day- light. In five minutes I was sound asleep. I was awakened by Oswan at dawn and we pulled the branches away from one side of our hiding place and cautiously emerged with rifles at full cock. Going a little to one side I could see the tail and hind quarters of the sec- ond lion sticking out behind the body of — the giraffe. I at once started to walk np to it when the Somali caught me by the shoulder and pulled me back saying he thought it was not dead. He thenthrew a stick at it but no movement did ‘the lion make; a second stick receiving a similar reception. He then cautiously advanced and gave its tail a pull. This proverbial twist not eliciting even a roar we concluded that it must indeed be dead and going up close I beheld an extremely handsome lioness with a coat in the very primest of condition. I alsonoticed that she was big with young and later on when we opened her up we found five little pups fully matured and now I have their skins as well. Now, as to the first lion I had fired at. About twenty feet away from the giraffe I spotted blood from spoor which we fol- lowed cautiously, not knowing from which bit of brush we might expect a spring. However after following the blood fifty yards the Somali’s eagle eyes spotted the lion stretched out stone dead fifty yards further ahead. A lioness also with a likewise perfect skin shot clean through the center of the body about twelve inches behind the shoulder blade. The second lion was shot through the heart, the bullet also going right through the body. The first lion had a hole through her that you could pass a walking stick through and yet she had gone exactly one hundred yards from the point where she was shot; farenough to charge and killa man. It illustrates the wonderful vitality of these brutes. In nine cases out of ten it is always the lioness which charges and the male follows. I think that day was the happiest I have ever spent. I felt so good that I wouldn’t go out after the giraffe as ar- ranged, wouldn't go out at all except to go and shoot a couple of Brant’s gazelle on a plain a few hundred yards away, for the pot. When the men or boys, as we call them out here, came to visit the camp in the morning and saw the two lions they simply went mad and then collected and executed a war dance about the dead lions. ee ee Mr. W. me}VERY sportsman is interested in | horses and many of them are fortu- ———— nate enough to possess one or more of their own.

They know the " “alarm,” the ‘‘cooing’’ and the different calls to attract ducks, but few shooters remain at the different marshes until the day the whole duck family mi- grates to the south. That waterfowl are endowed to a wonderful degree with that hidden and mysterious knowledge, generally termed instinct, is beyond question. I had an experience of this, as it was my pleasure to be in the marshes of Lake Manitoba last October, the day previous to the fall migration, and never did I see this instinct so clearly demon- strated. For days previous the birds were scattered in odd numbers over the numerous bays and creeks, but on this particular afternoon | noted that flock after flock were flying in one direction, and there was absolutely no shooting in the haunts that the birds had frequented all fall. I concluded that something was doing, and so paddled over to a big bay where | found thousands of the different species congregated. This bay at other portions of the season often contained numerous duck, but they were always as quiet as the proverbial mouse. Now everything was different. Talk about 64 the chatter of magpies, it was silence it- self compared with the babel of duck con- versation now being indulged in! How interesting it would be if we could comprehend duck language, but it requires after all no great stretch of im- agination to conjure up what they were chattering about. ‘‘What part of the South are you go- ing to Mr. Pintail?’”’ the canvas back would no doubt ask. ‘‘New Orleans,” he would reply and add, ‘‘If I can evade the market shooters until after the Mardi Gras, I will then come back to Manitoba, after that quaint ceremonial.” ‘‘And your destination, old ‘‘slate- back?”’—ducks of course use slang. ‘‘Ches- apeake Bay, the Delmonico of the canvas back. You probably know that wild celery, which I love, is more plentiful and delicious there than any other place, and the open water, to one endowed with my diving proclivities, makes it a verita- ble duck paradise; that is, if I have only brains enough not to sacrifice my life for my stomach, though that is often done by an epicurean member of the human family, by a too generous indulgence of the good things to be had at his feeding grounds in New York of the same name.” ‘‘Where are your winter quarters, Blue Wing?” said a specimen of the Teal fam- ily, with the green side feathers. ‘Oh, any old place until the creeks I love are thawed out again. I once thought them much safer than the open bays, but I am kept on the alert all the time to avoid the hungry hunters that make a special effort to shoot me, as they evidently prefer my white meat and plump body to your razor boned breast and brown flesh.” ‘‘Go farther north and feed like me,” said a fish eating specimen. ‘‘When those gluttonous murderers who serve you in their shooting lodges, without carving, would then have no desire for your fish tainted flavor.”’ ; **You don’t know it all,’ retorted the ““Grebe.” ‘‘If a lady’s bow, or the trim- ming of her hat, could be made out ot your breast plumage, as is done with mine, you would soon find that fine feathers run more risk than palate tick- ling flavors.” ‘*Pardon me,”’ said the canvas back. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. ‘“T am the swiftest flying bird of the whole duck tribe, and have the plainest plumage, yet command a bigger price in the New York markets than any one of you. My commercial value makes me the desideratum of the duck shooter and notwithstanding my alertness and swift- ness, I have to use all the powers with which I have been endowed to evade human ingenuity.” ‘‘Say,’’ said the Red-head to the Mal- lard, ‘‘aresome of your specie changing their color? Look over there, and you will see your counterpart, except the plumage.” ‘“‘That’s the Black-duck, which is in- digenous to Ontario. The bays of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair were their fall feeding grounds, but the Government stocked the lakes with carp, and this ravenous fish ate up all the wild rice roots, so that the source of the food sup- ply of the black mallard is destroyed, | and they are now migrating to Man- itoba.”’ ‘‘Don’t you think we ought to give them a hint to ‘‘stay in their own back yard?”’ You know that the Manitoba Government, for no apparent reason, have made an outlet of Lake Manitoha at Fairford, which has lowered the lake about two feet. The consequence is that, unless a hurricane comes from the north and blows the water through the gap leading into Clandeboye Bay, thous- ands of acres of our feeding grounds will dry up—in fact have already done so— and we don’t wantthese Ontario vagrants feeding in our grounds.” ‘“You red-headed thief,’ retorted the pintail. ‘‘You arethe last of the duck family that should talk so selfishly. We all know that you are too lazy to dive for your own food. You watch the canvas- back like a terrier at a rat hole, and be- fore his head is out of the water you grab from his bill the celery he has dived for.”” ‘‘Clandeboye, as you know, is the only bay tributary to Lake Manitoba where wild celery is plentiful, and this delicious duck food is as seductive to our long- headed friend as a meal at the Royal Alexandra is to an epicurean, but your thieving propensities have driven the Canvas-back to ‘‘Oak,” ‘‘Shoal,” and ‘*‘Whitewater Lakes.” ‘“‘Nonsense, I'll tell you the cause. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 65 The human duck shooting family is made up of several. species, viz: Royalty, Aristocracy, Democracy and a variety whose component parts are French, Scotch and Indian called the Metis. Democracy is a combination of the mid- dle classes, and is usually ‘‘agin the Government” and the most extreme of them delight in damning royalty. Yet, if he get in its vicinity, he will rubber- neck like a spoonbill at a bunch of de- coys, and, if he can only get a nod of recognition from Royaity, he will herald it from the housetops. Yet he knows he is like the broken down musician who tries to earn a livelihood round the Eng- lish theatres and who claimed that dur- ing the operatic season he associated with Aristocracy. The one great differ- ence is—they are inside, he is out. But wherever Aristocracy goes Democracy will flock, and in consequence of the no- _toriety given to Lake Manitoba by Roy- alty shooting there, Democracy now in- vades these shooting marshes in hun- dreds, and that’s the reason nearly every specie is giving this Lake a wide berth.”’ **Yes, that may be right, but I cannot imagine why every class isso anxious to kill us.” ‘‘That’s casily explained. Royalty shoots ducks to get a rest from the Con- ventionalities entailed by the_ position; -Aristocracy, because it’s the” correct thing—don’t you know—; Democracy, because he likes the sport and it gives him a rest from the worries of a com- mercial life. Bet the lucky Metis—at least a few of them—kill more duck than the balance of the duck shooting frater- nity, and get a salary for doing so. Some call them lucky. It’s not luck, it’s because they know how. Yet even lucky Bateese was envied by his compatriots, for does not Doctor Drummond say: “I start about de sunrise and I put out my decoy I see Bateese, he sneak along de shore. An’ befor’ its comin’ breakfas’ he’s holler on he’s boy For carry home two dozen duck or more. An’ An’ I’m ffreezin’ on de blin-—me from four o’clock to nine, An’ every duck he’s passin’ up so high.

But all de bird, an’ fish too, is give up feelin’ scare, de rabbit, he can stay at home in bed, An’ For he fish and shoot no longer, Ole Jean Bateese Belair, Cos he’s dead!” ‘*Peace to his ashes!” said the Wid- geon, ‘‘and we may never see his like again.” But if ever I am shot, I wanta Bateese to shoot me. Save me from the novice who shoots at the atmosphere but occasionally, by accident, some of us fly in the shot circle, but only to be wounded and die a lingering death in the reeds! I want to say right here that, unless the Government puts a limit on the number any one shooter can kill in a season, we shall all be down and out, because Ameri- canshooters who have no respect formor- al, civil or humanelaws when it pertains to duck shooting, are doing their level best to exterminate us. They shoot at us seven days a week, when going south, and when coming back from the South. And when sportsmanship is dead in Man- itoba, and the pet expression of the al- leged sport—it would be a reflection on the man to call him sportsman—is, ‘Show many did you get?” there can be but one result, which is inevitable. And so the chatter kept up the whole afternoon, probably winding up with good wishes for a safe return the follow- ing spring. They then indulged in a good imitation of a bevy of girls when seeing a friend off by train, concluding with all the pleasantries and formalities of duck society, which, if it could be translated, would almost approach hu- man intelligence. About five o’clock, with a clear atmos- phere, the weather balmy and Foster predicting a fine, open fall, the ducks began to rise in large flocks. They would make three or four circles, rising higher every time, and would then sail away southward for their winter homes. The following morning the wind came from the north,.and by noon the bays were covered with a film of ice, and weather prophet predicters demonstrated that they did not know as muchas ducks. To Hudson Bay by Canoe. BY ROBERT T. MORRIS. IERHAPS we have found the home @ of the very biggest brook trout on the continent, and we may have added the ‘‘Nebogatis” to the fly-fisher- man’s list. Last spring, at about the time when chrysalids turn over in their cocoons and fishermen do likewise, one of my em- ployees asked about summer plans. When I told him we were going to Hud- son Bay he wanted to know if that was up above Peekskill. 1 answered ‘‘yes,”’ but was unable to give much more infor- mation, because my companion, Charles Wake, and I had been trying for three months to find out something about the country. Most of —~/ the information that s we collected proved == later to have been wrong or mislead- ing.

We had considerable difficulty in get- ting guides as none of the local Indians cared to take the trip at the time of their annual bear hunt, and there seems to be a disinclination for Indians of one local- ity to trespass upon the territory of others. In this primitive region each family has its own hunting and fishing ground, and certain lakes and streams are handed down i from father to son without written agreement, but in a that sort of mutual f agreement which is as binding as other unwritten laws. We finally se- cured from North Bay, on Lake Hu- ron, three Indians, who were unfamiliar with our proposed route, and of whom we knew little ex- cepting that two of them had been given bad reputa- tions by men who had employed them previously. Our starting ‘point was from Winneba go Siding, on the Can- adian Pacific Rail- road, at the height of land where a OVERHANGING suppoged to belong to the watershed, and to the system. On June 30—Friday—we started down the unknown river with unknown In- dians, for the objective points of Moose River and the Bay. Let me say right here that the Indians all proved to be as good ones as we have ever employed, and that ‘‘badness” among men of var- ious colors often depends upon ‘‘who pushed first.” It does require patience to manage Indians, and one must be un- critical, considerate and at times human; Hudson Bay Moose River =. ‘moose and one red & ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 65 but anyone who has managed children without having to drink will find little difficulty in having a royal time in the woods with the sons of the forest. It is said that old maids are the only ones who know how children should be brought up, and if anyone goes into the woods with preconceived notions about what Indians should do he will do better devote the to return to some hotel and vacation to writing letters upon the ne- fim gro question.

Four of the moose were bulls, and two of them were very large ones.

Ifthe black locust will thrive so far north fire lines could be made with hedges of locust sown not far from the railroa¢.

We made the following notes during the first day: Waters moderately tannated, probably with tannates of both iron and magan- ese. Surface temperature 64 degrees Fahrenheit, noon. Stream bottom of sand and rocks, with banks of mud. Land rolling to hilly, consisting of sandy gravel with a good layer of humus. Rocks of gray and * reddish Laurentian granites, with out- ‘cropping of erup- tive Huronian at one point.

Trees—Jack pine (P. Bankstana) pre- |} dominating. Aspen poplar and balm of Gilead abundant. Much black spruce, but little white spruce or balsam fir. Tamarack in the marshes. The tam- aracks were dying all the way to Hud- son Bay probably trom the attacks of the tamarack sawfly, and the natural en- emies of the sawfly cannot now arrive in time to save any of this forest. Arbor vitae grew along the stream banks, and added its fragrance to that of the batm of Gileads. Wesaw some paper birch and rowan, but these trees were not at their best here, or at any other point along the course of our trip. Shrubs consisted chiefly of baked ha- zel, red willow, red dogwood and white bush maple. Occasionally we passed a group of striped maples, and here and there a thorn bush (Cradoegus) was seen. Animals or their characteristic signs SHOULDER Goi: ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. observed: Moose, white-tailed red deer, varying hare, woodchuck (A monax), red squirrel, gray wolf, black bear. Porcu- pines were notably absent, and we were informed later that few porcupines and no wolverines are to be found in this whole basin. Musquash holes were in evidence, and we found plenty of otter sign. Birds observed during the day were bald eagle, spruce partridge, yellow ham- three toed woodpecker, kingfisher, Canada robin, mer, jay, rusty grackle, hermit thrush, wa- ter wagtail, red crossbill, , olive-side flycatcher, night hawk, song spar- row, white throat- ed sparrow, winter wren, bank swal- low and_ probably the rough winged swallow. Fish were not observed, but we did not stop to do much looking, and the fish may have acted in the same way. Crustaceans were represent ed by crawfish, which were--extremely abundant, and one could get a mess for dinner in -a few minutes by turning over loose stones near’ the bank. Molluscs casually observed were fresh water mussels (l/nzo) and a rather abund- ant snail (Physa). Battrachians were not as frequently seen on the first day as they were later in the summer, but we noted the common toad and a frog which I took to be Rana seplentrionalis. This was the only spe- cies of frog seen during the whole trip excepting one brilliantly colored leopard frog at Flying Post.

Another unexplored section of country is that directly north of Desbarats. There is a good canoe route for about twenty miles north. Beyond that we know that the Echo, the Garden and the Goulais Rivers flow east and west; we also know that there is trout in the upper waters of these three rivers, but what there isin the thirty miles of country that would be traversed in reachiug the Goulais, and which lies between the three rivers, nobody knows—and yet one could take an automobile pretty close to the starting point. There is a comfort- able camp hotel there. The Nepigon River will have a great many visitors this year. The following facts might be of interest regarding the fishing on the Nepigon, the xe p/us ultra -of all trout fishing. Ladies can accompany their husbands on a trip up the Nepigon with every com- fort and. ease possible on a camping trip. Large numbers of ladies make the trip annually and thoroughly enjoy it. Three hours’ paddle up the River from Nepigon Station, reached by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, lands you at Camp Alexander and Cameron’s Falls and Pool, where grand fishing isto be had. There is some fair fishing to be had in the Nep- igon River right at the Station, but not nearly so good and certain as further up the stream. The best fishing is to be had from Camp Alexander (12 miles upthestream) to the headwaters of the River, viz: Virgin Falls at Lake Nep- igon. In addition to this there is mag- nificent fishing to be had in Lake Nep- igon, as well as in the various streams flowing into it, many of which contain brook trout. There is now a steamer on Lake Nepigon which makes it possible to take a trip around the lake with comfort. Two gentlemen, or one gentleman and a lady can go in one canoe with their camp outfit, provisions and guides for a two weeks’ trip the cost of which might be estimated as follows: = SS $2 50 per day SS Sl ee TEAM: ESS SS MRERHOGi cars oxic s+ aril: Sragate aha 18 ae ~I on 2 tents.

The guides do the cooking, etc., in fact they do all the work on the trip ex- cept the fishing, leaving the tourists nothing to do but fish and otherwise en- joy themselves, which they can do to the fullest extent. The guides are all In- ‘dians and half-breeds, who depend on the work for their living. It is best to have tbe merchant outfitting the party to en- gage the guides. This is the customary way, and the merchant supplies canoes, camp outfit, etc. There are several out- fitting establishment at Nepigon among which are Wm. McKirdy, Revillon Bros. and the Hudson’s Bay Co. These fur- nish guides, canoes, tent,.camping out- fits and provisions, which will cost any- where from $5.50 to $7.00 per man. This is a little less than elsewhere be- cause the journey is not so long and less stuff has to be carried. The fishing and shooting in the Nep- igon district is being well protected.and good sport isto be had in season. It is absolutely neeessary, however, in order to avoid disappointment and delay, par- ticularly during the months of July and August, when the season is in full blast, to arrange for guides beforehand. Asan illustration of this we reprint the follow- ing from an article in the ‘‘Sportsman,”’ by General McNulta: “On Friday I found I could go, and sent the following telegram: “Wife and I arrive on Wednesday— have guides, outfit, supplies ready for a three weeks’ trip up the river.” “‘To this telegram came the following reply: ‘‘Guides, outfit and supplies ready on your arrival.” ‘‘On our arrival the guides met us at Nepigon Station; thecanoes, tents, outfit and supplies were ready, and within an hour we were on Lake Helen, paddling up stream.”’ It is advisable, however, to give longer notice to ensure a good selection of guides. 76 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. The usual way of ‘‘doing” the Nep- igon isin parties of two or four. Each canoe (eighteen feet long) is manned by two Indians, and accommodates two gentlemen and supplies for a ten days’ trip.

As the Nepigon is particularly a fly-fishing stream, parties wishing to en- joy themselves to the fullest extent take one canoe for each, and also a cook, who can be procured at $2.50 per day; this of course doubles the expense, but to those who can afford it is by far the best way. The cost per day for each varies from $5 50 to $7 00, as to the mode adopted. One word as to the guides. These men are Indians and half-breeds who have fol- lowed this business for a living for years, and are thoroughly acquainted with all the intricacies of the river, both as tothe dangerous parts, and to where the best fishing is to be had. They are intelli- gent and desirous of giving every com- fortto their employers, doing all the packing over portages, putting up tents, making comfortable beds, and doing the cooking—in fact are ever on the alert for your comfort. Much of course depends on the head guide, who is chosen on ac- count of his experience and capabilities.

The water is good, the scenery matchless and the fishing abundant. I sent some friends — very wealthy and very blase friends—fishing near Banff, Revelstoke and Golden, B. C. I did not know very much about the fishing waters except.in Devil’s Lake and the Columbia River, where I had not found it good years ago; neverthe- less the guides to whom I turned them over obtained excellent trout fishing for them. In their hunting trips these guides had marked the good little fishing lakes and all of them knew where good trout fishing was to be found. The Chief Game Warden ot British Columbia, Mr. Williams, has scores of streams and lakes up his sleeve where the best of game fish can be had in abundance. What is being done about killing the carp that is coming north into our Great Lakes? We are killing pike in great numbers, but in this case the pike is our great friend and ally. He dotes upon carp and suckers, and destroysa great many. Ihave waged war upon the pike myself for years, but where the country is in possession of the two, pike and carp, kill the carp and let the pike live to help you do it. All good honest fisher- men should insist upon being served fish balls made of carp caught in the early spring. I have eaten them, as well as fish pies of the same fish, and paid good round prices for them in first class hotels and found them very, very good. The early caught carp, if opened and slightly salted with a good quality of fine salt is good eating all through the summer. Too much salt to burn the fish must not be put on however.

New Brunswick's Sporting Advantages : 10 Province throughout the wh NI Dominion offers greater ' advantages to sportsmen and holiday seekers than New Brunswick. It is rich in woods and waters, in beautiful towns and still more beautiful country, in charming rivers, in streams and lakes, in splendid game areas, and in delightful fishing grounds. For salmon and trout it offers the best fly fishing in the world, and later on in the year it gives the grandest shoot- ing for moose, deer caribou, and bear. The famous St. John River would alone attract thous- ands of tourists and it is only one amongst the very numerous attractions offered by the Pro- vince to those who spend their vacations within its boundaries. Our illustration gives @ view of one of the stretches of this noble river whose many beauties have tobe seen to be appreciated at anything like their true value. The sportsmen of the Eastern Statesknow much of New Bruns- wick and its many advantages and delights, while Canadians are likewise finding out for themselves, that, while their own Provinces are all good, New Brunswick possesses attractions all its own, and that for sports- man tourist, Or holiday seekers the Province is unexcelled. Despite the fact that the mari- time Provinces were the first to be settled there are still many large areas left entirely to the big game, and those who know and can afford to hunt are well aware of the many delightful experiences ‘n store for those who seek the Province for their sport. The big game hunting looms large on the view of every hunter, and in this particular New Brunswick can hold out many attractions, the Province being the home of moose, deer, caribou, and bear. Its duck shooting is known to 4n even wider circle while its fishing has drawn devotees of the gentle art from all parts the world. The delights of salmon fishing in New Brunswick waters have been often written about but never adequately de- scribed because no description can equal the reality. ee RIVER. JOHN'S ST.

And these thousands are only the trail- blazers, the fore runners of hundreds of thousands who will hear and heed the call of this same wilderness, long before this Century, which Sir Wilfred Laurier has called ‘‘Can- ad-a’s’ C entury,” blows back into the dead Past. Until now it has been a simple and easy matter to guard the Silent Places, but with the rush of immi- grants to this ‘“‘Lost West,” and more recently to Cobalt, that truly great silver camp that has been un- earthed in Northern Ontario, there will be work for the Forest Rangers. These fire-guards who dwell in the wild, are as necess- ary for the preser- vation of the tim- ber as the’ Royal Northwest Mount- ed Police are to the trackless West, for the preservation of peace and order in that one time ‘‘Great Lone Land.” For purely selfish motives, let us say, the Traffic Department of the Grand Trunk Railway had made a_ specialty of spying out new and remote summering places for the prosperous, and nearby re- sorts for the less fortunate. Inspired and encouraged by the enter- prising railway, hotel men have built comfortable and sometimes costly hotels oie th Mite ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. which to comfortably, the ever swelling throughout the Highlands in house, throng. A few years ago this pioneer Canadian railway acquired the Canada Atlantic, a short line running almost west from Montreal to Lake Huron via Ottawa, and passing right through Algonquin National Park. This line is now known as the Ottawa Division, and is to be re- built, and put in first class condition, as it will not only handle the tourist travel from Montreal and Ottawa, but along this line millions of bushels of wheat 79 The late Charles A. Dana argue that to know, and love and live with Shakespeare was to shut out of one’s used to life and mind all that was bad, and so it is with the wilderness. ‘The vast grand- eur of it all gives a man a _ correct measure of his own insignificant self ; while to live here is to get next to nature.

Algonquin National Park, lying in the heights of the celebrated ‘*Highlands of Ontario” holds nearly 2,000,000 acres of forest, lake, river and wild. The railway line lies 1,631 feet above the sea, but the rocky heights reach up to an altitude of two thousand feet. The atmosphere is pure and balmy, but always cool and refreshiug.

ALGONQUIN NATIONAL PARK. nothing so fair and bright and beautiful as the World itself. And do you know, O gentle, but some- times conceited reader, that the original dwellers of this wilderness were absolute- ly honest ? Do you know that before we came with our lofty airs, self-satisfied and flying the flag that ought to make us fit ‘the blood-stained banner of Prince Amonual’’as I used to hear it from an exhorting uncle of mine, these people knew no guile. Do you know that to this day despite our presence here, if we go far enough into the fastness, we come ON GREAT OPEONGO LAKE, surely to a place where men do not hide from men, but cache only against the four legged animals ? Well, that is so. And having said this little preachment, letus go back to Algonquin Park with its thousands of square miles of wooded wild and see what the white man is doing. Under a loosly drawn contract, he has come into possession of a Timber Limit, —though there is little or no limit to his appetite for timber -— and he, his heir, successors and assignees,are laying vast acres of this forest waste and converting ALGONQUIN NATIONAL PARK, many acresof it into a wilderness of stumps. In the beginning, his _ instructions were to limit his time and the size of the timber which he might take but lately, as lumber increased in value he has been moving everything at an annual rental of three dollars per square mile. Recently the Provincial Fish and Game Commission together with a num- ber of M. P. P’s. including Hon. Mr. Reaume and Hon. Mr. Hanna, visited the Park and saw for the first time what was being done. Of course,they were surprised, amazed, SNOWSHOE RAPIDS, ALGONQUIN NATIONAL PARK. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 81 indignant, and they pledged themselves then and there to use all their persuasive powers to induce the Government to do something to stop this despoilation of what should, and what may yet be, one of the grandest game preserves in all America. To be sure only a small percentage of the total acreage has been cleared, but unless the lumber lords are stopped, as they probably will be, the whole Park will be denuded in less than fifty years. What makes Algonquin so important and the preservation of her trees so vitally important, is the fact that no less than six great water courses rise in this region, within the limits of the Park. The canoeist may travel an entire sum- mer here and never double his course. There are hundreds of miles of lake link- ed one to the other by narrow and some- times swift butalways clear,cool streams. At present, there is only ‘‘The White City,” a town of tents, at Algonquin Station, but the Railway Company in- tends if they can secure permission, to put up a splendid hotel here which will make a sojourn in this delightful spot a realtreat. The Park is literally full of xnimal life, as its streams are full of fish. Hundreds of deer and many moose may be seen on a single voyage into the wild, as they come down to the lakes and streams to feed in the lily ponds. | We saw here, in mid-winter, the busy beaver, browsing on the banks of the Open streams, near the edge of the lake. The waters of the lakes are deep and translucent, filled with the gamiest of the game species of fish — black bass, three and four-pounders and salmon trout tipp- ing the scales at ten and twelve pounds are plentiful in the waters south of the railway line, while north of the railway bass are not found. The rivulets and streams are alive with the gamiest of speckled trout, the cool waters giving them fighting tendencies which delight the heart of the most ardent angler. Sal- mon trout are found in the waters north of the railway in the lakes; and excellent fishing is assured in any of these waters. During the months of May and June the trout fishing is at its best, though the flies bother a bit in June and the first half of July. It may be safely stated, all things considered, that May, August, Sep- tember and October are the best months for fishing, and that Algonquin Park is the best place. Held captive by a pack of timber wol- ves, withthe temperature forty degrees below zero, John Hill, better known as “‘Tohnny-Come-Lately,” a recent arrival from Rathwell, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, battled the elements near Davidson, Sas- katchewan, an entire night recently in the Canadian wilds, according to infor- mation received, through trappers return- ing home from the Northland. ~ Hill started with two homesteaders to get a load of wood, and it was decided while the last two procured fuel, Hill should go onto Davidson for the the mail. Follow- ing a deep snowfall walking was heavy, andthe man was overtaken by night- fall in the midst of a blinding snowstorm and lost his way. After walking about a great deal, Hill found himself growing weak. His ears, fingers and part of his face were frozen. He decided to seek shelter in a ravine, build a fire and try to hold out till morning. While sitting in front of the fire, Hill felt he was being approached by something from the rear. Turning around, he caught sight of the blazing eyes ofa number of wolves. Thoroughly frightened, he began shout- ing and throwing burning brands at the beasts. The wolves growling and snarl- ing, retreated a few paces. Hill, withhis back to the fire, sat through the long hours of that dreadful night, awful for its cold and storm, which grew in intensity. With the approach of morning the storm subsided and Hill saw a score of wolves on their haunches watching his actions, nor would they move except when he threw pieces of burning wood at them. He was a prisoner until daylight, when the wolves slunk off. Hill reached the nearest ranch, when: his clothing had to be cut off as it was frozen to his body. The toes of his left foot were amputated. Minnow Bait. BY BILLY BATES. AIT supply is a question that al- B ways comes close tothe heart of —_ every fisherman; and when he is onceon the ground with rod and line the problem attains proportions of the first magnitude. Since rod and line fishing became a royal sport, we find fishermen puzzling over this very question :— one favoring the juicy wor ms while an- a, Bee champions the frog or the grub. That all these are useful as bait is in- disput- able ;_ but when com- pared with the _ilive minnow, each has its limita- tions. To ob- viate the necessity for hunt- ing bait, and cart- ing it a- bout,some enterpris- ing discipleof Sir Isaac produced imita- tions of the natural baits and today we have an assortment of artificial baits, which is most comprehensive. The manu- facturers’ art has been so developed that we can purchase excellent imitations otf worm, fly, frog or fish wherewith to be- guile the wily denizens of the deep. Yet to become acquainted with these artificial baits—to know their advantages at the proper season and right spot — is not the accomplishment of aday. It takes A. J. ALGATE. time and experience to learn when, where and how to use them ; and as most of us have a limited vacation, we prefer a bait which will be useful at all times and in all places. That one bait is the minnow. In any water it may invariably be relied on. It is as natural for the big fish to takea minnow as it is for the fishermen to seek those pools and streams where the game fish are usually found. It must be ad- mitted, however, that more or less diffi- culty is always experienced in procuring” this bait, despite the fact that the supply in our countless lakes, bays and rivers is practically inexhaustible, and many fish- ermen, rather than take the trouble of going after the minnow, prefer tbe worm or some other substitute. To escape such trouble all that is need- ed is an effective device for minnow catch- ing ; and although many attempts have been made in this direction, their success has been doubtful. Most of us have had experience with the glass jar, and the wire trap, only to find them lacking at the critical moment, while their cumber- some size or complicated construction has always limited their utility. Mr.A. J. Algate,a fisherman who hails from Toronto, has been busy for some time in an effort to solve the difficulty, and a little flat tin box, measuring less than two inches thick, carries the result of his labors. Mr. Algate has perfected a new minnow-trap, which is without an equal for compactness and utility. i che trap is made of a trans- sparent celluloid —thus affording the nec- essary transpar- ency and service- ableness. Fig. 1—TRAP SET % . of the Indians ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 83 It is most simple in its construction, and requires but the fraction of a minute to unpack and set. When not in use it folds up and can be carried in the metal case. It will be seen from Fig. 1 in the accompanying illustrations that the device is triangular. Three small independent pieces set on springs ateither end form thefunnels, and as_ the lower section works free from the others, it is merely necessary to compress same to re- cover the entire catch at one operation. Then too, the triangular formation en- ables its quick recovery from the water. Its compactness, as shown in Fig. 2, will appeal very strongly to every fisher- man—as every extra square inch and every additional ounce means much on the last half mile of a heart-breaking por- tage. The trap when folded in case actually measures I6 34 x 634 x 134 and weighs twenty-eight ounces. There is no question but that Mr. Mr. William Harris, P. M. writes from Day Mills, Ont :—I noticed in one of your recent numbers a complaint from Mr. L. O. Armstrong as to the fishing in Lake Wacquekobing (Basswood Lake) in Day Township. | _was the first settler on the shores of this lake twenty-seven years ago. The Indians have never taken large quantities of fish from this lake though of late years the old Chief and his son have made yearly visits of a few days’ duration. Two set- tlers were hauled up before the writer and fined two years ago. There were two kinds of salmon trout in the lake, whitefish, speckled trout, and any amount of bass. Every summer fishing is much enjoyed by the American visitors and others. About twelve years ago the writer put eight thousand salmon trout and two thousand whitefish in this lake. They were about one inch long when put in and have thriven well. The lake is one ofthe most beautiful in Algoma, the water being as clear as crystal and the Scenery around very fine. At Day Mills a large stream leaves the lake and pro- x Algate has produced an article of super- ior merit — something which will meet the popular approval! of the fishing frater- HAE ye.

See page 118 of this issue for further particulars regarding this trap. The use of the minnow is an interesting subject. We shall be glad to have the views of our readers as to the best and most effective method of using minnow- bait. vides water power enough to drive ten mills, forming one of the best water powers in Ontario. The ‘‘Harris Com- pany’ hasa very good saw mill here, while the Canadian Camp Club, consist- ing almost entirely of Americans, have built a large Club House on the wrong side of the Lake. Several gentlemen have built summer cabins on the south side of the Lake. Every year recently we have had visitors from the eastern, southern and western States. There is first class hunting in the neighborhood for both deer and moose. Your readers may be interested in a ‘‘bear story.” Some fifteen years ago the writer and his family were out on the lake in a sailboat. Just before sundown we were coming down the Lake and ran against three black bears. They were crossing the Lake by swimming and had about reach- ed the middle. We had an enjoyable and exciting chase for two hours, and with a small pole as weapon succeeded in killing all three and hauling them into the boat. There is no danger of typhoid here, both air and water being perfectly pure.” The Montreal Show. The echoes of the great Dominion Show in Montreal have not yet died away. The enthusiasts who were present are just beginning to realize something of the importance of the industry created by this new developement in locomotion. We say ‘‘new” because by comparison, the word may yet be rightly used though in its remarkable strides it would appear that automobile manufacturing has al- ready reached something like maturity. There were many little points whicha descriptive survey omitted and amongst them were a notice of some of the numer- ous accessories for which Messrs John Millen & Son, Limited, Montreal, act as Canadian distributors. The Gies Gear Co. senta No. 1 Gear mounted to a motor, and the demonstration showing ‘to perfection the simplicity and ease of operation of the Gies Reverse Gear, re- sulted in a number of orders. The Day- ton Electrical Company had on show their famous demonstrating exhibit dis- playing the harmonious result of a com- plete Apple Ignition outfit. In this the Apple Dynamo is used as a battery charger, and by means of an improved automatic switch and cut out gives at all times the consumption in amperes of each coil and condition of the battery and dynamo. Considerable attention was given to the P and R Armoured and popular Accumulators. These storage batteries are having big sales in England. Both the celluloid and ebonite type of case are used and the choice of style is left to the trade. It is a much debated question which is preferred and may ul- timately be settled by further inventions. Both the Leavitt Siren Horn and the Gray-Hawley Auto Chime which give full, clear and harmonious tones under very light pressure were used to create some diversion in the Show. The Mot- AUTOMOBILES 482 AUTOMOSILING singer Auto Sparker was shown, : and caused many inquiriesto be made about this effective device. A fine Show was made of Shelby Steel Tubing. The exhibit railings were made up of Shelby 2” squareand a very elaborate sign was also supported by a fancy framework made up of the same material, which showed in a measure some of the possible uses for Shelby Seamless Tubing. Messrs Millen & Son stated that in addition to the very complete stock they have at their branch warehouse’ in Toronto they are now carrying a stock of their principal lines with their Vancouver agents, Messrs A. G. Urquhart & Co. and western orders will be given atten- tion from that point. Good Roads and the Farmer. Just as soon as the farmers decide that we shall have good roads the battle for good roads will have been won. Despite the country prejudice against automobiles, it is the automobile that is going to con- vert the farmer. This is a bold state- ment and only one who is an enthusias- tic believer in automobiles could feel confidence sufficient to make it. In the future—and not a remote future either— we are to see ‘‘a one or two seated buggy with a powerful and reliable single cylin- der motor power, the vehicle to have high wheels with sold rubber tires or simply a rubber tired buggy of heavy strong build, the vehicle to be speeded up to about eighteen miles per hour, the top or bed to be made in two styles, one platform to carry vegetables, etc., anoth- er bed for top body only, the engine fly wheel to be arranged that a bolt can be attached to run various machines, such as corn shellers, feed mills etc.” Stranger things have happened in the world’s history than that relief from the drudgery of his farm should come to the se OU gt EIA PENIINS “> ~ who has seen ~ «eo _ farmer should give that cooperation. : i ROD AND GUN AND MOTORSPORTS IN CANADA. i farmer through themeans of the very machine he despised. This appears at present to be not only possible but prob- able. If the farmer could be relieved from much of the drudgery which makes his life so largely a burden, then the cry of ‘‘Back to the Land’ would gain a new force, andthe problem of the con- gestion of our big cities might receive a solution which was all unexpected. In- deed there is no endto the dreams of social revolution which the automobile may yet achieve. Clearly it is not merely a wonderful machine in all its parts, but *s ltkely to be the means of working won- ders Nothing more marvellous would have been achieved if the results fore- shadowed are brought about. Noone what the auto has done for the city can doubt its usefulness in the country. There isa fine field open here for inventors and tothe successful one there should also bea fine profit. Both in Canada and the States the agri- cultural population form the pivot around which all movements for improving the roads must turn. Without the ac- tive co-operation of the farmer nothing can be done and in his own interest the If he becomes an automobile user he will give such co-operation at once and with- out question. Experience with an auto will speedily teach him the value of good roads, and the economy of expenditure upon them. Superseding the Horsein Paris. France is the home of the automobile and no one need be astonished to learn of the effective, though silent, revolution the auto is effecting in the capital of that country. In the centre of the city the horse drawn cabs have given place to the finer, cleaner, and more efficient auto cabs. The horse drawn busses are like- wise giving way to the new form of locomotion and by the time the old com- ‘pany’s lease expires, which isin 1910, it is anticipated that the revolution will be complete. The postal, military and municipal services are following suit, and the change is particularly noticeable in the case of the military authorities, usually SO conservative and averse to change. 85 In all these cases tests have proved so satisfactory that no one dreams of going back to the old order of things. The doubter of the future of the auto has only to look to France to have his doubts set at rest. Thc Autoin New Brunswick. The introduction of the auto into New Brunswick is said to have been brought about by a runabout costing eight hund- red dollars in 1903. In 1905 there were eighteen autos in the Province and-in the following year that number doubled. Now between seventy and one hundred cars are to be found in New Brunswick, seventy-five per cent being American, and amongst the remainder are several French cars. Light and strong machines are in demand and it is also essential that they be good hill climbers as the roads of New Brunswick ‘‘are up and down with seldom a long stretch of level.” Re Autos for Commercial Travellers. end old There certainly appears to be no to the uses of the auto. In the country they are being pressed into use for commercial travellers and the ad- vantages they have developed are such that their extensive use in this way is simply a question of a short time. In Eng- land the good roads and the close proxim- ity of the various towns gives great ad- vantages and by the use of the auto it is possible to cover a considerable area in a single day. Much time is saved by the new method and better business re- sults have followed. Travellers are no longer in perpetual fear of missing their train. They are able to give more time to their interviews, to conduct these in- terviews in a calmer frame of mind, and while saving time do much more busi- ness because they cover the country places on their journeys between the towns in addition to more thoroughly working the towns. The auto is thus doing for commerce what it has already done for men of leisure and what it is believed it will do later on for the great army of workers. Motive Power. The advocates of denatured alcohol ap- 86 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTSTIN CANADA. pear to have been too optimistic in their pictures of what changes this power was going to effect when in permanent use. Gasolene has had fine results so far and alcohol is not going to displace it at once. At the same ‘time those who point out the difficulties in the way of denatured alcohol are doing good service, whether intended or not. It is always best to have a full realization of the difficulties infront of one in order to be able to properly and effectively deal with them. The drawbacks tothe general use of denatured alcohol are not insuperable and the advantages from its use are so great that they willlead to the elimination of several of these drawbacks. - There can be no doubt at allin the matter that our next advance lies in this direction. If itis found possible to accomplish by means of denatured alcohol only one half of the anticipations of enthusiasts this old world is going tobe an improved place in which to live, and many luxuries possible only to the few are going to be brought within reach of the many. The Working Man's Auto. The pessimist may doubt but for all that it is coming. The high priced cars have increased in price and the cost of materials and labor have alike gone up. Despite these facts increased demands have drawn the attention of manufactur- ers to a field that is practically inex- haustible and already the five hundred dollar auto is being discussed as a prac- tical proposition. A strong reliable auto, whose up keep would be kept within reasonable bounds, would . open the de- lights of this form of locomotion toa very largeclass, and pave the way for reductions which may in the future be such as to render the possession of an auto a possibility to every working man. If this does come about it will afforda means of spreading the population over larger areas, and though garage accom- modation may provide some awkward problems they are not such as would-do more than delay the new order of things. Long Distance Endurance Races. A good deal of discussion has taken place across the border asto the condi tions upon which cars should be entere in long distance endurance races. In proposed race on Long Island cylinde displacement has been made a basis of classification. Mr. E.R. Thomas, the well known manufacturer of Buffalo, made a strong protest against this and urges weight as the only limitation. In his opinion there should be no restriction in motors, clutches, transmissions, bear- ings or any other one feature excep chassis weight, approximating the weight of standard touring cars, the reason being that anything of the kind would tend to promote light, unsafe, racing freaks. ‘‘The factors of safety, size and reliability are too important- to be omitted, and a car must be judged asa whole and not by any one feature. I believe there should be no limit in great races except weight, so as to permit each engineer to obtain his objects—race per- fection and car reliability in any way he sees fit.” Autoists Alivein Winnipeg. The automobilists of Winnipeg have now in their club a strength of about one hun- dred members but anactive canvass is taking place and itis the plan to have every car owner in the city enrolled in the ranks of the Winnipeg Automobile Club to assist in securing fair legislation and to protect the public at every turn. The number of motor cars in the city is well on towards the three hundred mark and they are being sold in large numbers every week. The finest car in the city was purchased recently by R. J. Mac- kenzie of Mackenzie & Mann, at a cost of $10,000. The car is a Packard thirty and is equipped with every accessory known to the motor trade. Another similar car was purchased by another Winnipeg-— ger and will ornament the streets of the — city thissummer. The club have decided — that the racing this summer will include a reliability tour of three days taking a number of towns and cities within one hundred miles of Winnipeg. The points will be made on the time, and the number of breakdowns and the general durability — of the cars. One of the provisions of © the race is that the driver must not ex-— ciate?

Andrews, W. R. Bawlf, J. A. Banfield, F. Newman, W. P. Wright and D. Boyce Sprague. A Wonderful Auto Improvement. A most desirable metal for automobile manufacturers has at length been found. A form of steel was required which would double the elastic limit and yet maintain the tensile strength of the metal. This was necessary in order to have steel which would resist fatigue to almost its ultimate breaking point and then finally yield under the severest shock or stress without fracturing. Only one element that would accomplish this end was known to metallurgy. That was Vana- dium, a mineral so rare that up to recent- ly its interest to steel specialists had been only academic. Recently a large deposit had been opened upin South America and Vanadium steel can now be made at about the same cost as the best grades of nickel steel, to which latter it is incomparably superior in the proper- ties above indicated. The first cost to the manufacturers is inzreased, but this is more than offset bythe greater uni- formity and certainity in service of the new metal which call for less replace- men of parts anda greater net profit. Preparing for the Vanderbilt Race. If careful preparation and testing can secure results the Americans are going to make a good showing in the Vanderbilt races this year. _The three Thomas cars have been remodelled, and the best of which expert workmen are capable has been expended upon them. Particular attention has been given to the motors. For two weeks they were kept on brake _ test and another two weeks were occupied in fitting the pistons, so that it may be judged each motor will give its maximum of horsepower when placed in service. Then finally turned over to their drivers they will have four months of testing ahead of them before being sent to the elimination trial which according to pres- ent plans, will be held in the latter part of September. Some Interesting Figures. The record non-stop of the Thomas car has caused an enthusiastic motorist to do some figuring, and the results are such as to interest all motorists. Asarule figures are dry and uninteresting but there are occasions when they interest most of us and the following can be read by every autoist with appreciation not merely of the trouble taken, but also with some dim idea of the meanings the figures convey :— ‘‘The actual non-stop run of the car was for twenty-one days, three hours and twenty-nine minutes, which would make the time in minutes 30,449. I saw the car during the New York automobile show and was present when it continued the run by starting overland to Chicago and estimate that it ran at the average rate of eight hundred revolutions per minute during the entire time, which would give it a record of 24,359,200 re- volutions. I took enough interest in the matter to confirm this estimate of the average number of revolutions per. min- ute by enquiring of employees at the garage of Harry S. Houpt, where supplies were taken on board, and of others who were familiar with the circumstances of the run. The stroke of the motor was five and a half inches which would make the total distance travelled by each con- necting rod eleven inches for each revolu- tion, or a total of 267,951,200 inches, which reduced, is 22,329,266.6 feet or 4,229.03 miles. This gives the total distance up and down travelled by the four connecting rods the stupendous mileage of over 16,916.12, considerably more than half way around. the world and that without a mechanical adjust- ment of any kind. I have these figures down pat and maybe you think | won't quote them to my friends this summer’’ this enthusiastic owner concludes. 85 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. necessary article.

Although, as appears in our pages, great advances have been made in Europe in motor cabs and town cars practically nothing has heen done upon these lines in America. There have been a few or- dinary autos to be engaged upon hire in several Canadian cities, and that is the sum and substance of all that has been done in the direction of public auto vehicles. The reason given for this backwardness in auto developement in both the States and Canada is that hith- erto no American manufacturer has ap- plied himself to the production of the particular kinds of motors required. This deficiency is to be met by the E. R. Thomas Company of Buffalo. For more than a year they have had Mr. Gustave Chedin, head of the foreign engineering department of the Company, in Paris studying the conditions and problems at the headquarters of the industry. In the meantime the Company has been steadily preparing to carry out his plans and recommendations. Quite early in the investigation it was made clear that it — would not only be necessary to order but also to design special machinery for the manufacture of these cars. This has vir- tually meant the instalment of a new factory, prepared especially for the class of work necessary to put on the new cars. Asa result it has been found pos- sible to manufacture a car that shows a marked improvement, both in simplicity and refinement on the commonly accept- ed standards for such vehicles, and which embodies the principles of lightness and strength to a degree that has not hitherto- fore been approached. The new car will be a four cylinder one with a_ seating capacity of six people and will weigh but slightly in excess of 1,500 pounds. Both design and good materials are responsible for this success. It is believed, as a re- sult of experiments that the cost of operating these motor cabs and town cars, surprising as it may seem, will be no more than that of a single horse and carriage. This opens up a new field of possible purchasers and means extensions ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 89 in the use of autos which will do much to revolutionize our present method of travel. Now that the principal handicap to pro- gress in this direction has been removed it is but natural to expect a vast exten- sion of the use. of the auto and in the course of a few years motor cabs will be more common in our streets than the horse drawn vehicles are at present. Their simplicity of operation will un- doubtedly prove a great inducement to mary men familiar with cab work to ente1 heartily into the-spirit of the new engine. The motor will not weigh, approximately, more than half what the present day motors of about the same horse power do. The Romance of Discovery.

A valve stem, seven-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, had become bent and the united exertions of three men witha wrench could not move it. Mr. Ford got disgusted. He thought he could do the trick easily, and he offered his help. Four of them tug- ged at the little rod of steel, and Mr. Ford in the course of his exertions awoke to the fact that there must be something more in alloy steels than he knew about. On his return home the whole of the technical force of the factory were set on the work of analysis, experiments and tests of steels. Parts of foreign cars were purchased. Heat treatment was studied. By accident they discovered an element for which they were not look- ing— Vanadium. It was found that Vanadium was worth many times the price of pure gold. Yet it was used in automobiles. One quarter of one per cent does the business, but the world’s output of two hundred ounces per month would not go far and the price was pre- hibitive. Just at the time it was found that a mine of vandiforous ore had been discovered in South America and by its use Vanadium steel could be made at the same price as nickel steel to which it is incomparably superior. From now on +t will be used in American cars, which can then claim quality unsurpassed by any and equalled by few cars made abroad. The cue to it all was given by the little incident of the valve in the racing car. Big New Auto Factory Nearing Completion in Indiana. On returning from the Maxwell- Briscoe factory now rapidly approaching, completion at Newcastle, Indiana, Vice- president J.D. Maxwell said that finished automobiles would be turned out from this fourth factory operated by the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor Company by the time snow flies. Considering the size of the plant andthe immense amount of equipment necessary, together with the fact that ground was hardly more than broken on March I, this is remarkable progress. It seems, however, to bea case of necessity mothering invention, as the concernis reported to be greatly behind orders.

Being a Section Deveted to Those Who Brave Wind and Wave, in White-winged Yacht or Dainty Canoe, Edited by LOU, E. MARSH in Fragile Sheil or Swift Power Boat t The Canoeing Pr oble m. To be or not to be—in affiliation with the Canadian Amateur Athletic Union— that is the question, which is agitating the Canadian Canoe Association. The matter came to a head at the C. C. A. meeting in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago and while there was a snappy argument over the matter the question is still in abeyance. That new would-be governing body for Canadian Amateur Athletics, the phantom Federation, the creature of a few Montreal sportsmen who desire to mix ‘‘pros’’ and amateurs in team games, made a strong bid for the support of the paddlers but the C. A. A. U. men rallied strongly and so completely swayed the meeting that the Federation never had a chance. But the C. C. A. did not join the C. A. A. U. and will not either unless the C. A. A. U. will accept their amateur definition which has been tentativeiy amended by the Executive Committee in order that some paddlers who played hockey against men who had played against professionals might be allowed to paddle. These men were looked upon suspiciously by the C. A. A. U. and their club mates were afraid that they would be handed a knockout if the C. C. A. joined the C. A. A. U. and so while they favored affiliation they wanted this ques- tion settled and the status of these men established. The meeting amended the C. C. A. Amateur rule—one of the strictest on the continent—to meet the condition and authorized the Committee to present it to the C. A. A. U. for judgment. If they accept it the C. C. A. will likely join on the same terms as the Ontario Hockey Association and the Canadian Associa- RENE RRenemreTee nes SE tion of Amateur Oarsmen—that is they run their own affairs as long they do not countenance any crooked amateurism and the C. A. A. U. will back up their judgments, if necessary, and they will recognize C. A. A. U. suspensions and expulsions. As a matter of fact if the C. C. A. had come to an open rupture with the C. A. A. U. the Western Ontario Clubs includ- ing the four Toronto Clubs would have resigned. They are too closely identified with the C. A. A. U. and have too many all round sportsmen in their ranks to re- main with any Association in opposition. Montreal got the C. C. A. meet-in Au- gust. Ottawa wanted it for the Sum- mer Carnival, and Toronto had been promised it but the real fight was be- tween Ottawa and Montreal, and Mon- treal won. The meet will be held at Dominion Park, the big summer amuse- ment park of Montreal. A Greater Henley.

Young Green and the Argonauts will again rep- resent the club in the singles and young Ward, a new comer, and Crawford will be with the Dons in the singles. The Torontos will also have three or four.

A correspondent writes from Montreal: ‘‘Allow me to offer my sincere congratu- lations on the stand your Magazine is taking with regard to amateur sports.

It looks as if the best way at present would be to allow each branch of sport to govern its own special field and only have a central governing body for track and field athletics. Personally I do not believe that this experiment of playing amateur and _ professionals with and against each other is going to bea per- manent success. The motives of the two are so different that the best that can be said is that it seems to solve some problems. The purely amateur player is in every respect a better man than the semi-professional and I trust you will long seek to encourage those who play for something more tangible. **In a further communication he says :— *‘One thing in connection with the new Amateur Athletic Federation of Canada (so called) has impressed me very un- favorably towards them.

L..U. who made such pretty notorial declarations were really honest in these said declarations. Of course we all know that the men who said they did not receive money for their services meant it. What about the other things they received—things that could be turn- ed into money whenever needed? The rules and bylaws of the A. A. F. of C. were made to allow young fellows who wanted to play senior games as amateurs in company with professionals, but there is nothing solid or lasting in them. The amateurs and professionals must be sep- arated in such games as lacrosse, foot- ball, and hockey. Because professionals and amateurs can play together on the same terms in golf and cricket, that is no argument for their mixing in games of an entirely different character. Matters are no more above board in this section of the country than they were before. I say all this in spite of the fact that myself and many others interested in clean sport were quite willing to help and support the A. A.

Dr. Murdoch writes: “Dear Editor: Your’ kind letter _ reached me on a trip East; also copy of “Rod and Gun” for May. I am pleased to make the acquaintance of Mr. E. R. La Fleche, Mr. A. Calbeck, the contribu- - tor who writes under the name of ‘‘One of the Many Who Loves Nature,’’ and also Mr. Charles Annis. I hope with your permission to refer to some state- ments in Mr. La Fileche’s =§arti- cle in the July number of the _ Magazine. Let us’ hope that this _ discussion may be carried on in a friend- ly spirit. It is a sure sign that a lawyer has no case when he begins to abuse the _ opposing attorney. I wish now to take time only to refer to one statement made by Mr. Annis on page 1058. Mr. Annis makes this un- friendly reference to myself: ‘‘The Rev- erend gentleman ate part of the deer him- self without charge. He was treated as I would wish to be treated, and this is _ the thanks the Buckskins get for using him as a gentleman. The Buckskins paid their licenses, had their hunt and sponged on nobody, nor made misstate- ments about them.” Prof. Huxley once set an examination paper to some med- ical students. One question was: ‘What is a Lobster?’ One student answered: ‘fA Lobster isa red fish which swims ‘backward.”” Huxley said that was all right except for three things: ‘‘A lob- ster is not a fish; its color is not red, and it does not swim backward.”’ Mr. Annis has deliberately written and published an absolute falsehood, \et us hope unintentionally. Z never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Annis. I never had the honor of seeing any member of the Buckskin Club. I never ate a morsel of their ventson; nor was I entertained by them. Why Mr. Annis should make up _ this yarn I do not know. I am pleased to know that no fawns were shot by the members of this Club in 1892 or before that date. I was in- formed by a man who was familiar with the ground, and with the operations of the Club, that what I stated was correct. OuR MEDICINE BAG | I have no doubt that had I been fortu- nate enough to have called on the mem- bers of the Club I would have foundthem pleasant and genial acquaintances. But the facts are as I state. I thank the friend who on page 1135 calls my attention to my misuse of ‘‘Gun Club.” Itis ashe says. I had refer- ence only to Hunting Clubs, where a large number of men scatter through the woods and are placed by skilful guides to guard every avenue of escape for the hunted deer.” Two important Orders in Council were published in recent numbers of the On- tario Gazette. They are of great in- terest to all sportsmen and one of them in particular to our visitors from across the border. Totake the last first the Order raises the non-resident hunting fee for big game from $25 to $50. In an- other part of this issue, in our analysis of the new Game and Fishery Act, we point out that the power was reserved to the Lieutenant-Governor-inCouncil to in- crease the fee to non-residents for hunt- ing big game to$50. The same Order pro- vides that the non-resident fee for shoot- ing ducks and all other small game be $25. As it was clearly the intention to raise the fee andthe Act did not specifi- cally do so, it is well this Order is pub- lished early that no one may be taken unawares and that full notice may be given to our visitors at a time when they are making their plans for next season. The first Order provides that residents of the Province are prohibited from fish- ing in any Provincial waters except by hook and line, without having first ob- tained a lease or license granting them permission to do so. The non-resident fishing fee is placed at $2 per rod, $5 for a family, and $5 for fishing from boats or yachts, the said permits to be good for a period of three months. By the passing of the new Fish and Game Act of the Ontario Government, Mr. Edwin Tinsley, the Chiet Game Warden for Ontario, was left ina _ pecu- 98 liar position. His office was abolished under the Act and a new one—that of Superintendent of Game and Fisheries— created. The amalgamation of the Fish- eries and Game branches of the Public Works Department was one of the great- est improvements made by the new Act, and the united interests needed a man of experience and knowledge to guide them under the new conditions. Mr. Tinsley has given many years of active service to the Province as Chief Game Warden, and since Mr. Bastedo left the Fisheries’ De- partment he has had the oversight of both branches. The Hon. Dr. Reaume, Minister of Public Works, who is in charge of the fish and game interests of the Province, has very rightly considered the value of Mr. Tinsley’s services to the Province and made him the first Superin- tendent of Game and Fisheries for On- tario. The many sportsmen who have met Mr. Tinsley and know something of the work he has done, will congratulate both him and the Province on this new appointment and believe that the cause of fish and game protection thréughout On- tario will gain materially as a result. Mr. J. P. Turner writes from Winnipeg: ‘‘In the May number ot your valuable Magazine, I notice a few remarks by a sportsman of Deloraine regarding the barnacle goose and its appearance in Manitoba, and fear that he has tallen into an error over the wavy or snow goose. [In a number of year’s goose shooting in Manitoba, I have never come across the barnacle goose, nor have I seen one-in the possession of any other hunter, though it is not unlikely that they occur at very rare intervals during the spring or autumn migrations. To my know- ledge we havethree varieties of the wavy, though of one of these I have seen but a single example in six years. This was a mature Ross’ Snow goose and was taken on the Red River early in October 1902. This bird is no larger than a mallard drake and the specimen may be seen at any time in Winnipeg. The other two varieties are the Snow Goose (Chen hy- perborea nivalis) and the Blue Goose (Chen caerulescens). The former is by far the most plentiful goose occurring in Manitoba, butis always accompanied by ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. the latterin considerable numbers, ~ es- pecially in the spring. Hudson’s Bay men say that upon reaching the coast o the Bay, the snow geese or wavies pro- ceed northward up the west coast while the blue geese cross to the east side, and that they return the same way inthe autumn. Further Mr. Macfarlane states that he never saw the blue goose among the large flocks of wavies which annually visit Liverpool Bay on the Arctic. coast, which would carry out the former con- tention and prove that these birds are not the young of the wavy. Among the grey geese, we have the Canada goose and the Hutchins goose, both being marked similarly, but the latter being much in- ferior in size; and I have a specimen which answers the description of the Cackling goose—a small variety found on the Pacific slope. Besides these the White-fronted Goose or Speckle-belly, as it is called among the gunners, is a common visitor in spring and fall.” Mr. J. W. Misner, writing from Sault Ste Marie, Ont., says: ‘I notice in one article appearing in ‘‘Rod and Gun” an > invitation for information concerning the Wolf.. As I write this my feet are rest- ing on the skin of a large she wolf killed by my old friend Holdworth, who by the way was a Woodstock boy. The wolf was killed on April 13th, and indications show that she would have given birth to four pups about the first of June. Per- sonally lhave had very little experience in wolf hunting though I am in full posses- sion of the methods employed by many famous wolf hunters who successfully shot, trapped and located the dens and destroyed the pups of wolves in Norfolk | County, Ontario, over seventy years ago. Much of this is legendary being handed down to me by my father, and therefore I do not care to use it as authoritative. The time to hunt pups is from the middle of May to the middle of June. The wolf prefers a hollow logy ina dense part of the woods for a den, but will make a den in caves of rocks. The hunter will find out how closely he is approaching a den by feeling the moss on old rotten logs. By touch he will feel the impression ot — the wolfs feet in the rotten wood under ~ ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. For Trap or Game Sovereign Shells, made by The Dominion Cartridge Co.

For some reason or other a wolf will walk on all the logs it can when approaching the den. I could relate many interesting stories as told to me in which my father, grandfather and great grandfather, (who, like myself, were all all born in that old county) took part.” (We are sure all our readers agree with us in hoping that Mr. Misner will allow us to read some of those interesting wolf stories. Ed.) Acorrespondent from Finmark, Ont., says: ‘“‘It is no uncommon thing for bears and wolves to come right up to the camps along the Grand Trunk Pacific at nights foraging for refuse. I am told that in the spring of ’06 twenty-two bears were killed within a radius of five or six miles from Finmark. The snow was so deep when I left that district two or three weeks ago (about the middle of April) that I could not personally verify the truth of the story though I have no reason to doubt it. In this connection I aS SEA might say that these animals are good scavengers, particularly the bears, and as the latter are harmless it is hardly sportsmanlike to kill them. Though the season was unfavorable to the hunter on account of the deep snow I saw lynx, fisher, foxes and mink brought in by trappers.” The Solid Comfort Fishing Club, of Mercer, Pa., the members of which or- ganization have been spending their va- cations in Ontario since 1880 have now purchased Island No. 50 in the French River. Upto last year they visited at Beaumaris on Lake Muskoka but sold their property at that place, and broke new ground by last year camping on the French River, three or four miles above the first falls. They liked their new loca- tion so well that they purchased the island as stated above, which contains an area of twenty-five acres. They are arranging to put up buildings and expect to make this place their permanent future 100 location. They will reach their new headquarters by steamer from North Bay. In May, 1906, acommittee of the members went to the French River on an exploring expedition and at that time there were but two cottages on the river. There are at least nine cottages now and no doubt there will soon be as many more. The member of the Club who sends us these particulars adds: ‘‘The region isa most delightful one and the fishing is first class. Black bass are abundant, and so are pickerel, maskin- onge and pike. Last year we had diff- culties in distinguishing between maskin- onge and pike and had many arguments Over the matter. No one seemed to know of any infallible test. It seems that these two species of fish resemble each other very closely on the French River. The rule we finally went by was that if the fish jumped out of the water when hooked he was a maskinonge, oth- erwise he was considered a pike.” A newspaper despatch states that the Canadian Government have purchased the Pablo herd of buffalo on the Flat Head reservation in Montana. The herd numbers between four and five hundred buffaloes and is said to be the largest herd in the world. The price is stated to be $150,000 and arrangements are completed for taking the herd north. One of the last letters written by the late Dr. Drummond from Cobalt was to his friend Judge Foster, of Knowlton, Que., and contained the following verse: From far off wild Temagami, Land of the silver gnome, My warmest feelings go to thee, Among the hills of Brome. If amid the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom then the open season for deer in Ontario ought to be fixed just right. A resident of Hastings County advocates Novy. 15th to 30th, as the ideal dates, giving as his reason that there is usually snow on the ground at that time and with snow on the ground wounded deer can be traced and not left to the ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. wolves, while under such circumstances the number destroyed is just two per gun and no more.

They provide that at all such meetings three amateur fly and three amateurbait events shall be selected from among the events listed, and the trophy in each of these events shall be known as the ‘‘Amateur Championship Trophy.” The commit- tee of the National Association tried their hands at the definition of a ‘‘pro- fessional” and the definition “is worth quoting in full as of interest to all classes — of sportsmen: ‘A professional is defined as follows: One who is or has been a teacher of casting for pay; One who is or has been a market fisherman; one who is or has — been a paid guide; one who for pay casts or has cast with any rod, reel, line or de-— vice in the interests of the maker or seller thereof; one who does or has done exhibition casting for pay, either directly or indirectly; one who for pay conducts — or has conducted any exhibition of cast- ing; one who is or has been engaged in the manufacture or sale of fishing tackle. (This definition does not include the amateur rod builder or fly tier, or the amateur maker of some angling device for his own use.) The other rules apply strictly to the conduct of the Tourna- ment and provide, as far as human in- genuity seems capable of doing so, for the efficient and impartial conduct of the various events. The, last rule isa pretty wide one, and much will depend upon the discretion of the Committee having its enforcement. ‘‘Anyone found guilty of selling a trophy or of any other conduct unbecoming a gentleman and sportsman, shall not be permitted to participate in any tournament.”’ ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA, IOI -JAEGE Get Your Camping Out-fit Ready JAEGER most economical specialties. Dr. Jaeger Co., Limited The progress of the Canadian West is well illustrated by the stir caused _ recent- ly by the appearance in one of the main thoroughtares of Edmonton of an Indian with his dog train of furs. Only a short time ago such a sight was only too com- mon to attract even passing notice. Events have moved so rapidly, however, and the frontier of civilization has so ad- vanced, that the sight is now a rare one in Edmonton and moved the whole city. It was learnt that the four burly huskies which composed the train, had made a journey of three hundred miles from Pelican Rapids on the Athabasca, the time being five days. Ordinaril y the trappers of the far north leave their dogs at Athabasca Landing but this par- ticular Indian, whose name was Alex- ander Dezzerlais, preferred on _ this occasion to follow the old custom and created no small stir by so doing. The load of furs included the skins of seven coyotes, six cross fox, eighteen red fox, two otter, seventeen lynx, ten mink, seven marten, three weasel, one large black bear Jaeger Pure Wool Underwear and Clothing is the choice always of experienced campers. it will not only stand the hard wear of camping better than anything else; but also, that a wetting or sudden change in temperature is dangerous to your health when anything but pure wool is worn.

Roughly speaking the value of the load was placed at five hundred dollars, the greater part of which amount was expended on supplies, having secured which the owner and his dogs again set their faces towards the silent North. The animals showed signs of fatigue on arrival at Edmonton, but the stay in the city set them up again and they faced the return journey cheer- fully and with renewed vigor. The propagation of game birds is_ be- ing taken up in earnest in Stevens County, Washington. A portion of the game fund is to be expended upon the purchase of eggs of English and silver pheasants. These will be distributed among the farmers and ranchers and when the chicks are matured they will be set free in the forests. This method of starting game is believed to be more economical than buying grown birds. The attempt should be watched with in- terest in Canada where the latter course has been followed in several instances. 102 One correspondent makes a strong protest against the clause in the new Act prohibiting the use of the automatic gun. The words of the Act are that such agun shall not be used ‘‘in the killing of game.” It may be asked what is the use of such a gun without being able to use it for the very purpose for which it was purchased? The correspondent states that any high pressure long range gun is more destructive than the automatic, which is a short range gun. The hunt- ers and trappers prefer the automatic be- cause being short and light they can, in going through the bush, handle them much easier than along range gun. He asserts that hunters and trappers are the hardest hit by this prohibition and be- lieves it is because they are working men so little was said in defence of the gun. As a matter of fact however, a good deal was said in defence of the gun and it was only after a long discussion and a narrow division that the clause was carried. Mr. James Avery writes from Dorset, Ont.: ‘‘I ama guide who is deeply in- terested in the protection of our fish and game. While I appreciate the efforts of the members of the Ontario Fish and Game Protective Association and applaud the work they are doing, I cannot help thinking that they have started at the wrong place. In my opinion it would be much better if the members would seek rather to enforce the law as it stands than use their powers and influence to have new ones enacted. The law as it stands may not be just the one to suit people in every portion of the Province, but if it were enforced it would afford better protection to fish and game than allthe amendments which can be made. It is not the sportsman who decreases the fish and the game, but the man who livesin the wilds, existing like the In- dians on fish and game all the year round. What is needed is a warden for each township to look after these men. Unless this is done the time is near when fish and deer will live only in the mem- ories of those who have fished and hunt- ed in past days. One important point was overlooked when the law was last amended. The otter is still protected ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. although it lives on fish and is a constant fisher at all seasons of the year. Loons are likewise protected, although the loons are daily taking more fish than are the people. What we require is assist- ance to enforce the law and we request the members of the Ontario Fish and Game Protective Association to put forth their efforts in this direction. I regret that they have proposed the increase of the non-resident hunting fee to $50. This will have a tendency to keep the non-resident out and leave the moose and deer to the white and black Indians.” An interesting deer story comes from the State of Washington. A _ rancher named William Warin, living near Brin- non, was on his way to the Post Office recently when a deer came out of the dense timber and started for him. The man turned upon the animal and drove it into a nearby lake. With a companion he followed it in a boat, and after chas- ing it for an hour captured it and towed it to a whart from which it shortly after- wards disappeared. The butcher in the settlement says that his trade dropped off for several days—that’s all. There is certainly no end to Mr. Marble’s efforts and ingenuity in the in- terests of sportsmen. One of the latest —it will not do to say the latest for Mr. Marble is always at work — is Marble’s Simplex rear sight which is made for the 22 caliber rifles only. The sight is held quite firmly in the preper position for shooting by an inside spring and can be easily folded down. A large and small aperature disc is furnished with each sight. |The stem can be set very quick- ly in any position by raising the lock to a horizontal position and moving the stem up or down with the fingers. The lock holds the stem rigid at any elevation and the stem cannot drop out even when the lock is open, but it can be removed when desired. The lug on the base of the upright prevents the sight from being folded back far enough to interfere with the hammer on the rifle. The price is only $1.50 and this new rear sight will be ready for the market in August next. - ™ Pee ee ann «1s ee ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. Tae = Sy 4 .

A little pamphlet, just issued by the Biolog- ical Survey, of the Department of Agri- culture, is indeed of more than passing interest inasmuch as dealing with Flor- ida we learn something of the conditions under which the ducks bred in Canada pass the winter season in that southern State. It seems that although Florida was organized as a Territory in 1822 and has been passing game laws since 1827, the present condition of things still leaves much to be desired. While its legislation for the protection of non game birds is said to be second to no State in the Union that for game birds is not comprehensive enough to meet present needs. -Doves, woodcock, snipe, plover, sandpipers, rail, or shore birds have no protection either in the form of - close seasons, bag limits or restrictions on sale or export. There is no prohibi- tion of the export of ducks or other water fowl. What enforcement of the laws takes place is by means of county war- dens and less than half the counties have such wardens. There are three bird re- serves, now maintained by the Federal Government within the borders of the State. A Game Commission for the State is strongly urged and it is pointed out that thirty-five States and three Ter- ritories maintain such Commissions which can be made self supporting while maintaining fish, game, and bird life at its highest and best throughout the State. Every bird lover must welcome the appearance of one of the latest of the valuable series of leaflets issued by the Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agricul- ture entitled, ‘‘Value of Swallows as Insect Destroyers.”” A fine tribute is paid to the swallows by the statement that ‘‘their beauty, their graceful flight, and their sociability ensure them a_wel- come everywhere and endear them to every Jover of nature. Their aesthetic value, however, great as it is, is not so important as their economic worth, so 104 constant ard effective is the warfare they wage against the insect hosts, which but for them and other avain benefactors would render successful agriculture im- possible.”” For the farmer and orchard- ist no more useful birds than the swal- lows exist. ‘‘Specially adapted for flight and unexcelled in aerial evolutions they have few rivals in the art of captur- ing insects in mid-air. They eat nothing of value to man except a few predaceous wasps and bugs, and in return for their services in destroying vast numbers of noxious insects ask only for harborage and protection. The importance of the birds to the States is that the swallows destroy the boll weevil which threatens the cotton crop, and the various species of swallows—the tree swallow, the barn swallow, the bank swallow, the cliff swallow, and the purple martin—are de- scribed and the best methods of protect- ing and extending their numbers de- scribed and advocated. The people of the north are urged to help in this work and assist the southerners in keeping downtheir insect pests. The swallows are good alike for the people of the north and the south and this is a case in which hearty co-operation may take place with much good will on both sides of the line. The following characteristic letter from a fisherman has been received from La- doga, Ind., by Messrs. A. F. Meissel- bach & Bro. of Newark, N. J., the man- ufacturers of the Take-a-part reel: ‘‘Am sending you under separate cover one (1) Take-a-part reel to have overhauled. The click as you will see, is cut out. It was my own fault not yours. Also the small washer on crank handle was lost. Put reel in good shape and return as soon as possible, as 1 could not go fish- ing without it. Also send bill when reel is returned. This is the third season I have used this reel and I like it better every time I take it out, and have no trouble convincing every fisherman that I come in contact with, that it is the best all round reel forthe money on the market. It has them all beaten a mile. Very respectfully yours, E. W. Foster.” This is just the kind of testimonial that is of value—that ofa practical man who ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. has had personal experience of the article about which he writes. An interesting evidence of the desire to escape from the city for atime and en- joy life in the haunts of Nature is af- forded by the popularity attending camp- ing expeditions from Montreal. There are now four well organizd camps held out in the backwoods for boys and young men from that city. The oldest is the Junior Y. M. C. A. which started out in July sixteen years ago and has in the interval gathered much experience which enables the organiza- tion to be successfully maintained. The Senior Y. M. C. A. followed a month later, and they have likewise held most successful camps. Last year the M. A. A. A. Instructor in Gymnastics (Mr. Long) took a party of boys to McNab’s Island, Nova Scotia. The’ experiment was so successful that it is intended to repeat it this year. Camp Agaming (on the beach) opens again this year on June 22nd and closes on August 28th. About thirty-five boys will be taken out for the nine weeks. The location of this Camp is on the shores of Lac Archambault, nine miles by two, in the Laurentian Mountains. There are many other large akes with good waterways between them in the near neighborhood. A beach of hard white sand five hundred yards long, afford ideal bathing. Northof the camp, after the first two miles, there is nothing but untrodden wilderness right to James’ Bay. The boys learn how to set up tents properly, make shelters, wash, cook, cut trails, follow old trails, right upset canoes, empty canoes, sail yachts and boats, canvas a canoe, light a fire with sticks, use the compass anda hun- dred and one things that develop re- sourcefulness and character. This Camp is organized by Mr. C. B. Powter, of the High School, Westmount, Montreal. Canadian fishermen and bait casters when across in the States,and particularly in the neighborhood of South Bend, Ind., are invited to call in at the South Bend Casting Club where they are promised a royal welcome. The South Bend Club ety CORR bee) =. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. had a charter membership of fifty-three, to which sixty-eight new ones have been added, with a prospective increase to one hundred and fifty. The ‘‘fishing boys” of South Bend are described as ‘‘an energetic lot of young fellows, none over one hundred years old and the oldest the most enthusiastic.’’ The Club has a fine headquarters at Spring Brook Park, which is reached by street car, anda visit to which is alone worth the trouble to which anyone may be put in finding his way there. In addition to the ordinary welcome the members promise to listen to the fish stories of all visitors and if the teller gets tangled up at all to allow him to go back and make any necessary ad- ditions he pleases. Surely hospitality could no further go, and every fisherman who can make it convenient should test this fine offer which must makethe South Benders equal to their claim of being “jolly good fellows.” ——— Two outlets to the sea have been se- cured by the Canadian Northern owing to their control of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway— one at Quebec, where the Company have splendid terminal fa- cilities, and the other at Chicoutimi which in the future will be linked with the west and is apparently destined to become a port of great importance. The Quebec and Lake St. John, with its branchto Chicoutimi andthat to LaTuque on the Saguenay River, serves a territory of some 15,000 square miles in extent, and all this is said to be good for settle- ment. The La Tuque branch will, it is anticipated, be completed and opened this summer and ultimately it will con- nect with the transcontinental. There are rumors that an extension to Hudson Bay will follow some day, and certainly this great inland sea, whichhas remained so. ong untapped from the land side, will stand many railway extensions to its shores. This development will mean much to the fine Province of Quebec in whose future every Canadian must feel interested. Pioneers in any field deserve the re ward of their courage and enterprise and when they reap such rewards no One need 105 feel envious. The J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company of Chicopee Falls, Mass., have recently adopted the very handy and convenient method of attaching a tag to all their firearms. These tags contain clearly printed detailed information refer- ring to the arms to which they are at- tached points of merit, etc. Messrs. Stevens are the first in the firearm manu- facturing field to adopt this up-to-date plan of acquainting both the the trade and the customer with the exact use of the many models comprised in their varied and extensive lines of manufac- tures. On each tag is also to be found valuable pointers regarding the care of the individual firearm to which it is at- tached, what to do and what not to doto insure best results. The more those handling the goods know about them, the better for customers desiring inform- ation, and for the manufacturers them- selves. The Stevens tags are certain to be appreciated by all who make use of them. They may be aptly termed ‘‘Ste- vens Ready Reference Tags” as they emphasize just what the firearm to which they are attached is capable of doing and its exact uses. Although the Temiskaming and North- ern Ontario Railway is a Provincial line the whole of Canada is interested in sev- eral ways in the future of this railway. It is an experiment in Government own- ership and owing to the manner in which wonderful discoveries followed the lay- ing of the rails it has proved an assured success. It was the original intention to run the line through from North Bay to James Bay, ‘‘some day,” when convenience might suggest. Then came the Grand Trunk Pacific and the aim was to form a connection with the new trans- continental. The railway is in good run- ning order from North Bay to New Lis- keard, 114 miles. The surveys have been made and contracts let from New Liskeard toa junction with the Grand Trunk Pacific, this extension being put at another 140 miles. From this junction point to James’ Bay there still remains 220 miles... Preliminary surveys have been made and aterminus at Moose Fac- tory is favored. Up tothe close of last year the expenditure upon the railway 106 had amounted to practically $10,000,000 and it is calculated that asimilar amount would complete the line right up to the proposed terminus. Here there would be an opening to the sea, and it is be- lieved, even if no more mineral discov- eries occurred, that an enormous traffic might be developed to and from Hudson Bay. At the present time there are sev- eral schemes, more or less in the air by means of which Quebec and Manitoba mean to reach the great inland sea, and it is clear if Ontario wishes to maintain the lead she hasheld so far the work will have to goon without ceasing. The Commission to which the Ontario Gov- ernment have very wisely handed over the construction aud working of the line, have doubtless considered this matter though in the light of recent events they may be disposed to make stronger rec- commendations to the Government con- cerning the work. The Ontario Govern- ment, in the interests of the whole Prov- ince, should see that the !ine is carried through for it is likely to greatly assist Canadian development in the full sense of that expression. The Dominion officials are making ar- rangements to clear all squatters from the Dominion forest reserves in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the railway belt of British Columbia. Altogether there are twenty-one of these reserves, covering an area of 3,300 square miles. As long as these people are living amongst the timber it is felt there can be no security against fire. All parties who have no titles will have to leave and go to lands which are open for settlement. A permanent staff of rangers is to be ap- pointed on all the reserves for the pur- pose of preventing fires and timber poaching. A survey of the timber is be- ingcarried out and as soon as it is com- pleted aplan_ will be devised by which the annual growth may be taken off and marketed. of the squatters, of which there are sev- eral hundreds on the various reserves. Those amongst our readers who have followed with interest the discussion in our pages are the destruction of deer by The first thing is to get rid ~ ROD AND GUN AND .MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. - wolves will be likewise interested in knowing something of the experiences of our neighbors south of the border. Ina small pamphlet issued by the Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States — Department of Agriculture, Mr. Vernon Bailey, the Assistant in charge of Geo- graphic Distribution, visited the upper peninsula of Michigan, Northern Wis- consin and Minnesota. He found that the deer, if unmolested, would nave win- tered in good condition, but while the snow was soft they were entirely at the mercy of the wolves. The latter were numerous, and dead deer were found in almost every ‘‘yard” visited, some partly eaten and others only torn and mangled. Large bucks, as well as does and fawns, had been killed, many more than could be eaten at the time. Only those killed since the previous heavy fall of snow were visible, but in past years hundreds of deer carcasses were reported in the yards after the melting of the snow. When the snow becomes heavily crusted in spring the deer leave the yards and scatter over the country and are not eas- ily caught. The wolves then return to the old carcasses which probably furnish much of their food during the breeding season. Up tothe middle of April the wolves were not occupying their breeding dens. The indications were that the pups in the dens should be looked for during May and the early part of June. Many parts of the country are rough and rocky with cut banks, steep slopes, and low cliffs which furnish ideal breeding places for wolves. Washed out cavities in the sides of gulches, small caves in the sand- stone cliffs bordering many of the streams, valleys and cavities among boulders and broken rocks on the south slopes of high rocky ridges are common. The wolves were paying frequent visits to these places even in the early part of April as was shown by fresh tracks in many of the caves and it seemed safe to assume, from the well ‘known breeding habits of wolves in other sections of the country, that later on these cavities were occupied as breeding dens. Every den should be located and the pups destroyed.

Wolves do not breed until they are two years old. By the use of scents those not breeding can usually be trapped dur- ing spring and summer, though the best time for trapping isin fall and early winter. The ninth year of the Hiawatha Indian Play will begin in July at Wayagamug, Petoskey, Mich. This place has become a centre for water sports, also for every- thing that goes towards making a sports- man—it is a sportsman’s school—camp- ing with camp cooking as a specialty, canoeing, swimming, shooting and gen- eral woodcraft lore are taught. A North American wild animal farm has _ been started where it is hoped that every spe- cies now in danger of destruction may be preserved. A good beginning has been made. Dr. French, naturalist, of Wash- ington, D. C., and Capt. Craine, of Alaska, are the leading spirits. The Ad- visory Board contains the names of some of the leading sportsmen and _nat- uralists of America. A couple of questions which are troub- ling more than one State of the Union are likely sooner or later to cause some searching of hearts in Canada. ‘‘Is theresuch a thing as ‘‘domestic’venison?”’ Of course there may be such a thing but the query means will the law recognize it assuch? Further can game animals protected under the laws be taken into captivity for the purpose of breeding, so that their progeny may be placed upon the market and sold as food in the same manner as the meat of domestic animals? At present the answers to these questions, so far as Canada is concerned, is decid- edly in the negative. Here we have so much room that we can allow wild ani- mals to be reared ina state of Nature. 108 ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. Fewer Parts Than ?

The demand for venison in the future may easily increase so as to lead to ef- forts being put forth to supply the same, which, if allowed, will cause a _ serious loophole in our protection laws. It will be interesting to notice how these two queries are answered in the States, and upon the lessons of their experiences may well be based our future actions. The Lindsay Branch of the Ontario Fish and Game Protective Association recently sent a deputation to the Minister of Public Works asking that the taking of frogs fromthe watersof Victoria County be prohibited during the spawning season, and covering the months of May, Juneand July. It was stated that owing to the ease by which frogs could be cap- tured at night time by means of jack lights such tmmense quantities of frogs’ legs had been shipped to the States during the past few years that the num- bers of frogs had decreased to a point harmful to many interests. The frog hunters themselves were alive to the danger of the industry being ruined and the members stated that a great injury was being done by reducing the food supply for black bass, maskinonge, wild ducks and certain valuable fur bearing animals, such as mink, skunk, otter, etc. which depended on young frogs asa portion of their food. One delegate who, had dealt In the export of frogs’ legs, stated that afew years ago aband of three men had sold to him in three months a sufficient quantity of frogs to fetch $5,000 inthe New York market but at present it was utterly impossible to obtain such quantities. The Minister, (the Hon. Dr. Reaume) promised care- ful consideration of the representations that had been made to him. Reports received from Grand Forks, B.

NO OTHER SPARK PLUG MADE CAN SHOW SUCH A RECORD. “‘QUALITY"’ IS OUR MOTTO The main portion of the hood is of porcelain, which completely covers the spark plug and has a neck on one side recessed to permit the introduction of the Rajah Clip Terminal, which engages the slot in the brasscap on spark plug, making a perfect connection and at the same time fastens the hood in position.
