Kerr Lodge had its origin in the days when Belle Ewart was a thriving lumbering-centre. its business fed by the lake trade. About 1869-'70 seven Masons got together at that point and decided to form a lodge. Meetings were first held in a loft of the stable be- longing to Hanmer`s Hotel. The lodge was named after the late Senator Kerr. it Fast Grand Master, and the first meeting was held on April 14. 1870. Records of those early days are incom- plete but a minute of August 19. 1871. shows .1. H. Wilson as the presiding officer and eleven members and three visitors in attendance. On December 10. 1872, the late R.W. Bro. Robert King was a visitor. Reference was made by Mr. Duff to several social functions of those clays. including an excursion on the lake and a ball. For twelve years the lodge continued in. Belle Ewart. but owing to a move- ment northward business there fell off greatly and it was decided to transfer the charter to Barrie.

In police court Wednesday he laid charges against two men, one an In dlan from Deseronto, of illegally trap- ping and having possession of two muskrat pelts. James John, who said he was a Mo- hawk Indian. from the reserve near Deseronto, pleaded guilty to trapping muskrat without a license, while Fred Folton, who gave Penetang as his ad- dress, pleaded guilty to having the pelts in his possession, not having a permit. They were ned $10 and costs amounting to $14.50 each. with the alternative of 30 days in jail. Neithex man had the cash, and went to jail hoping the money could be secured for their release. nppe Recalls Early Days J. H. RODGERS Ranger's Big Territory . Let us look at this situation honest- ly and fairly. Take any township you know and let your imagination take. you back to wildwood days when there were no roads. just an odd trail through the woods. Then picture a lone ranger having to cover a town- ship and a half of such wild country. keep out poachers and hunt wolves, etc., with possibly one shack on the whole area. There are several of our rangers who are obliged to travel over this rugged country alone. Now ask yourself how much time a ranger could devote to wolf hunting. It's true he! could set snares for wolves on his var- ious routes. These snares cost from sixty cents to a dollar each and in the past were purchased by the ranger. A ranger should have at least fty snares. These he sets as he moves over the township. He has other duties and does not get over his line for two weeks. Then he nds wolves have been in a half-dozen snares and cut the wire by chewing it and escaped. He may possibly `nd one or two wolves in the snares. They have been dead fora week or more and the weather warm. The wolf is dead (the best part of the game) but it is impossible to remove the pelt. Where does the 1 much lauded wolf bounty-come in? It cannot be collected because the whole pelt must be sent in to collect $15.00. The Price of Pelts some of our critics have said the 7 wolf pelt is worth another $25.00. Now this shows how much is known about wolf pelts. A good summer pelt is worth from 25 to 50 cents. Peter Ran- ger, the ranger stationed at Kiosk, sold one of the finest prime wolf pelts that went into North Bay in the past winter for $12.00. Trapper Harry Boeheme took in Just as large a. pelt UIIC Llllltl DUI I/U JJGIAIC. Taking up the Ilse of presiding of- oers. Mr. Duff went over them indi- vidually. with tribute from "time to time for special service. Among those who have passed away to whom he particularly referred were: Dr. J. F. Palling, a tower of strength to Kerr;" J. C. Morgan. of outstanding talent as ritualist and musician" and a most capable instructor;" Capt. Lyon. no- thing more striking than his address on character;" H. E. Jory, no man in Kerr Lodge has done more for the Craft in general;" J. H. Neelands. very active in all branches of Ma- sonry;" W.

There would be lots of real ex- perience no doubt and we all might be much wiser in many ways. Is it a weakness or a piece of selshness that causes so many supposed sportsmen to advocate throwing the Park open for deer hunting and killing the wolves? Would it not be as well to show the public how to kill the wolves outside the Park first? There are more wolves outside the Park than there are within the Park. Why not destroy them?

Ranger God- in killed ten wolves last. season or 25 wolves in eighteen months. `Some persons would call this luck, but it is the result of good honest-to-goodness work with the right sort of equipment. It may be of interest to the public to know that rangers along the north side of the Park have killed twenty-seven wolves since November 1, 1929.

That's ne. Now, `boys, how many deer do you re at each season and fail to bring down? How many wounded deer crawl into some fallen tree top to die? Let us be honest. Aren't there about as many deer as are brought out. that is taking one camp with another? I think there are. I wonder what the Hu- mane Society think about it? Now, sportsmen, it's just as necessary to cut out all this careless shooting and train . ourselves to, hold re until we can be certain of bringing down our deer as it is to kill the wolf, and the latter is very necessary. A ....2....-t T_I I~I-nan `I3/sync-\`uv Wolves are blamed for the reduced number of deer in Algonquin`Park. To a certain extent this is quite true. But kindly remember that wolves aren't nearly so plentiful within the Park as they were fteen years ago. Yes, there are other reasons and one'is the lumbermen are now cutting -down the hemlock along the ridges also the spruce and balsam in `the swamps for pulpwood thus clearing out the very essential cover deer must have in the severe winter weather. Frost falls in the air and deer get under the dense and be protected from the falling frost. This winter some of our rangers going through an old cutting of the French Lumber Co. told me that where form- erly there appeared to be hundreds of deer there was not now a single track, the result of cutting down the ever- greens. Another reason is that during the winter months deer prefer cedar browse. When the Park became over: crowded with deer all cedar browse was eaten oil so often that all within reach died off and the deer moved outside the Park to fresh feeding grounds. ` Here the wolf and repeating riehave done the extermination act to the deer. The repeating rie (not the wolves) cleaned up the buffalo and almost nished the cariboo and musk ox. A Word to Game Clubs I hope members of game clubs and our true sportsmen who\ read this will stop and do a little real sound think- ing. Would it not be wise to have a closed season for ve years, followed by a buck law.

I have not seen a sick deer or one that has dfed from disease this winterrand I have seen many deer during the win- ter and see them every day. There are wolves, too. After the crust formed we had quite a migration of the big grey wolves from the Laurentlan Moun- tains. The ordinary snares are useless with these `big fellows. We hope to clean some of them up with traps if we `can get the right size. What is want- ed is the No. 5 Newhouse light bear re. boys-the wolf bounty. We have sportsmen all over Ontario sending up the cry, raise the wolf bounty." Any child could shout raise the bounty" and possibly know as much about. the real issue. I would advise leaving the bounty as it is, or cut it out alto- gether and all have to get out and learn a. `few of the real tricks about hunting, trapping and snaring wolves. It's real sport and hard work. Now, sportsmen, to raise the bounty will I never catch wolves. Get the sporting spirit moving. It's working ne in the north country and the results are very encouraging. Study methods and put them into practice. I.uA uCcuA_y 1 UULUUK }).lll. Alliston people will be sorry to see the four train daily schedule of the C. N.R. changed. Way back in the G.T. days this town formed the habit of re- ferring to these trains as the morning Trunk train up," the morning `Trunk train clown," etc.. and these designa- tions have stuck to them to this day. Before the days of the automobile and up to about the time of the Great War there was no question about the paying passenger traffic on the Beeton branch of the C.N.R. Of late years. however. ' the car has robbed the railways of all local traffic and there is little or no ground for complaint if local train service is curtailed or even cancelled. The airplane will have to be used to transport mails. - AV J.._ .Lva.DIva-Juuunu Organist ...... ....... .... .. Tjvlor .............................. .. Auditors. W. M. Salter and N. T. Mac- Donald.

Curtailed train service on the C.N.R. will inconvenience Alliston only to the extent it may reduce the high school attendance. This town being on the C.P.R. main line, which line runs through the Muskoka. playground means that in summer there are more trains through Aliiston than there are in winter. Since Midland was made 3 C.P.R. point the local trains running between Toronto and the Georgian bay port have become a. fixture and are the most convenient trains serving this town on that line. xxmm. nu. r<\v1:: ..........:.__ L__.,. __ Ann.
