The law is being flagrantly violated by men with whom individual good sports are not able to cope. A little campaign by the Provincial authorities, howâ€" ever, would do all sorts of good, and no doubt all the authorities need is to have their attention drawn to the matâ€" téir. A few prosecutions of offenders against the Game â€" Laws® would do much perhaps to teach some folks better sportsmanship,. as well as aidâ€" %zg in the preservation of the game ite of the country. The attention of the. Provincial Police is drawn to the flagrant and decidedly eviminal breaches of the Games Laws occurring in this district recently. At Simpson Lake, for inâ€" stance, it is stated that the most outâ€" rageous . tactics have been employed by men with guns who, perhaps,.after all will pretend to be sports. |Comâ€" plaints also come from settlers along the Mattagaimi, who have regard for the law and the game of this country. These settlers affirm that the wanton shooting of ducks has recently been worse than a ‘breach of game laws. It has been a crime against common sense â€" and *common _ sportsmanship. mome supposed **sports‘‘ have even wone the length of shooting ducks while the birds were . on the nest hatching out their new families. If the game of this comntry is to be preâ€" sarved in any measure, effort must be taken by the authorities to counâ€" teract the criminal folly of the thugs attacking. the protected ‘birds and beasts in such unsportsma‘nlike wiay. Unless some concerted effort is made to protect the . game, it will not be yery long before the natural birds and beasts of the district are all desâ€" troyed or driven away. .
