Jack Miner Writes Further Regarding Deer and Wolves Last week The Advance gave part of Jack Miner‘s article in regard to the menace to the deer of this country from the increase in wolves. Jack Miner was answering Mr. Millar, superâ€" intendent of Algonquin Park, who had suggested that hunters were more reâ€" sponsible for the destruction of the deer than the wolves. Mr. Miner gave effective answer to Mr. Millar last week and below he further treats of the question. The matter is of so much genâ€" eral interest that The Advance has no apologies to offer for using. so much space in dealing with this question which is of such vital importance to the country in general and sportsmen in particular. In his second instalâ€" ment of his reply to Superintendent Millar Mr. Miner says:â€" Men Hunt Only Few Hours in a Year. The W olves Hunt Deer Twentyâ€"four Hours a Day. Question of Salaried Wolf Hunters Discussed. â€" Bounty System Preferred for Wolfâ€"Killing. "Now, I want to take the average | hunter who travels the average disâ€" tance. Chances are he is a working man, like I have been, and has the same love for his little family. Why he is only gone two to three weeks and chances are he returns without a| deer when‘ he could have two bucks‘ that would keep his home in meat a]li winter. Does he deserve to be called "howling calamity?" Now, if you | figure it out, you will find that man was ‘ not in the woods hunting seventyâ€"five hours all told, while the devilish timber | wolf is hunting twentyâ€"four hours a day ! for three hundred and sixtyâ€"five days in a year. Our Deputy Minister, Mr.’, McDonald, kindly supplied me with the| following deer license quotations, and | here they are:â€""In 1927 our depart-f ment issued 22,179 deer licenses." i "Now, Mr. Millar, I have got just two more statements for you to analyze. FPirst: If these 22,00 licensed hunters were armed with machine guns and hunted in our vast Ontario wilds from October iIist to January ist, they alone could not keep the deer from increasâ€" ing. Why? Because each one has over fifteen and possibly twenty square miles of the best deer breeding grounds in America to control. Remember the litâ€" tle insignificant piece of wilds where the deer are and partly settled that lies between Toronto, North Bay and Sudâ€" bury is not ten per cent. of our Wall Street herritage that is practically lying idle. "second: The last few years I have recsivyed a number of letters requesting that I advocate salaryâ€"paid wolf huntâ€" ers to kill the wolves in Ontario. So far I have refrained from answering such requests, but now, when the superintendent of our largest provincial park comes out and calls our rising genâ€" Mr. McArthur‘s experiâ€" ence with inflamed kidneys.

Neither has a fence around same, any more than Algonquin Park has." SCn CR t 2 m t Mr. Miner gives the list of deer killea in Rondeau Park from 1916 to 1927 inâ€" clusive. The figures range from 105 killed in 1916 and 202 in 1917 to o killed in 1926 and 10 in 1927. "As I have said," he continues, "there are only eight square miles in Rondeau and look how deer have increased there! Why? Because there are no wolves. Why isn‘t Algonquin Park producing as many deer per square mile?" Mr. Miner then gives data from the office of the Board of Game Commisâ€" sioners at Harrisburg, PaA., showing game killed in Pennsylvania in the seaâ€" sons of 1926 and 1927. Reduced to tons. there were 4,908 tons in 1926 and 5707 in 1927. Mr. Miner continues:â€" "Now, I ask all thinking humanity in Ontario, what can we have in our vast wilds of our province with nine times the territory and less than oneâ€" thirda the population? "Mr. Millar, you speak regretfully of the passing of the buffalo from our prairie province. My dear man, don‘t deceive yourself. You do not expect intelligent humanity to entertain the ihanoht that aur farâ€"sighted Sir John hought that our farâ€" sighted Ssir d A. MacDonald and his faithful foll »rs exerted every muscle and bral 111 they hadâ€"to connect our Can XL Talrl of ou1 ot gne? No, indeed, they What happened?

Best of all we have "dominion over them all" and they ‘are under the able supervision of our Mr. J. B. Harkins, Commissioner of \ Dominion parks, Ottawa. Some of the ;overfiow froin this buffalo corral are being slaughtered; others are being 3shipped out and driven farther north, simply for manna for our people who are venturing farther and farther| north. | "Mr. Millar, I claim that there never, was a promise made by God or man. that bas been more fulfilled than God‘s promise has been with us in this case of the buffalo on the prairie, and I simply ask all readers to please read what God said in first capter of Geneâ€" sis, 26th, 27th and 28th verses. "Mr. Millar, you refer us back to the passenger pigeon. Please let us kindly say that the same Loving Power that gave us dominion over the buffalo conâ€" trolled the passenger pigeon. They died of a contagious disease. In Cuyâ€" hnoga County, Ohio, in the spring of 1878 my brother and I had occasion to ramble through their roosting grounds and we picked up dead pigeons by the dozens and could have picked them up by the hundreds. I don‘t know when they started dying. I only know they were dying in 1878 and I haven‘t seen a single pigeon since 1888. In 1898 they were pronounced absolutely exâ€" tinct with the single exception of one that was in Cincinnati Zoo and you could have got $50,000 for the location of one nesting pair. Yes, these countâ€" iess millions of birds disappeared in less than twenty years. "The present human race only have. an imaginary glimpse of what the great mastadoon looked like. Yet, in Alaska their mammoth bones can be seen lyâ€" ing around every old back woods curio shop. I might almost say by the wagâ€" gon load, their great tusks fully as large as ordinary wooden fence posts, and so well preserved that if one did not know different he wouldn‘t believe they had been shed twentyâ€"five thouâ€" sand years. "Did man exterminate them? "Now, last, Mr. Millar, you refer to the destruction of the musk ox. Why, of course, they were commercialized. Just the same as our Ontario beaver have been the last twelve years and are so extremely scarce now it will take us at least ten years to bring them back like they were in 1916. "Please, Mr. Millar, don‘t take me to be a bit worse than I am. I am not a piece of spiteâ€"holding humanity. T must voluntarily be forgiving if I ever expect to be forgiven. I want to be big enough to try and forget all wrongs and remember men by the kind things they do and say. Mr. Millar, you saic ne of the kindest things I ever saw in print and I want to remember you by it. You said "we need a Moses to lead us." I agree with you and will back you up in every syllable of that loving statement. But, let me add that we a!â€" ready have our Moses in our Charlie McCrea, and if the sportsmen of Ontaâ€" rio will get behind in the same mann as the men interested in developme of mineral wealth did we can have O tario nerfectly alive with game in t years and an rolling in on "Mr. Milla we can have, nave.

And you will hear the wild turâ€" keys gobbling, pheasants crowing, big squirrel barking, partridige G@rumming and Bobwhite quail calling. Surely you will say to yourself, if this can be done in a little state of 9,000,000 population and only 45,000 square miles of terriâ€" tory, what can we have in our lovely Ontario where we only have oneâ€"third the people and over nine times the terâ€" ritoryâ€"yes, fifty times the wild terriâ€" tory. Then you will see plainly why Jack Miner is so anxious that the sportsmen of Ontario get together in one great harmonious organizing meet and start raising deer, not wolves, beâ€" cause the Government alone can‘t do it w‘+~nan* th> of the sportsâ€" ed he: man 2 God Almighty. "Mr. Millar, as far as I am concernâ€" ed, our trifling friction is a thing of the past and if you come to my home the last week of this March we will have an hour‘s heart to heart visit. I will inâ€" troduce you to our fourâ€"legged deer and if you can put a piece of candy in your outside pocket where Beauty cannot find it, I will give you five dollars of my first wife‘s money.

Gilligan, Ottawa, Jan. Last week The Advance made brier reference to the death of Mr. B. J. Gilâ€" ligan, wellâ€" known in Timmins and disâ€" trict and father of Mr. Fd. Gilligan, of town. The following further referâ€" ence is from The Ottawa Journal of Thursday of last week:â€" "Bartley J. Gilligan, many years lumberman at Mattawa and widely known for his activity in that industry, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Peter J. Brennan, and sonâ€"inâ€"law, P. J. Brennan, 628 Gladstone avenue, yesterâ€" day afternoon. He was 77 years of acs. Mr. Gilligan had been seriously ill for the past three weeks, but for the past year he had been in failing health. He had lived in Ottawa for the past four years, although he had retired from business in 1911. During his residence here he attended St. Patrick‘s Churehn. Born in Ottawa, a son of the late Mt. and Myrs. Bartley J. Gilligan, he had gone to Mattawa following graduation from the University of Ottawa. For some years he was connected with the Hurdman Lumber Co., later starting a business of his own. Until his retireâ€" ment he had managed the latter enterâ€" prise. Throughout the district where he had lived for many years, as well as in Ottawa, he was held in high esteem, and the news of his death wi:* be received with much regret. During recent years he had lived a retired litse. In addition to his widow, formerly Bridget McManus of Ottawa, he is surâ€" vived by four sons, Hugh of La Sarre, Que.; James, of Vancouver; Edward, of Timmins, Ont., and M. J. Gilligan, of Montreal; a daughter, Mrs. Brennan, and three sisters, Mrs. J. Milligan, of Manotick; Mrs. J. A. Larochelle and Miss Rose Gilligan, both of Ottawa."
