There he would find such tall tales as would make even Mr. Rip- ley gasp. But there is no Samuel John- son with any right to argue that every- thing he has not personally encoun- tered is “foolish exaggeration." There is no question of the remarkable mild- ness of the weather this winter and ac- cordingly no reason why some things should not occur that are usually as- sociated with summer. For instance pansies have bloomed here in outside gardens, golf has been played in the depth of winter time but under sum- mery conditions. It is not well to be- lieve. too readily. yet it does not look like good busian to risk a thousand dollars on the weather or the crops these days. unless a man doesn‘t hap- pen to have the thousand.

Metagami, brought up the matter of having bear hunts in the spring. and after the discussion it was the unamicus opinion of the associa- ticn that such bear hunts would be of great value in attracting tourists from the United States at a time when tour- i=t business is at its slackest. Thus the arscciation endorses the attitude of men like M. U. Bates, cf Temagami. F. M. Wallingford, of Timmins, and oth- ers, in believing that bears are of in- jury to the country through their des- truction of game and in other ways. In discussing the question, according to the despatches from North Bay, Mr. Bates claimed that bears were at least partially responsible for depletion of the moose in this district and said he was prepared to produce affidavits that bears do kill moose. particularly calf moose. in spite of Jack Miner to the contrary. He expressed the opinion that the government should authorize these bear hunts. charging say $10 for non-resident licenses. and he felt sure that these hunts would be the means of attracting a great many US. hunt- ers. It might mean that fewer hunt- ers would come in the Fall for deer or moose, but if that did happen the deer and moose would be conserved to that extent. Bears. he said. were of little use and of no value commer- cially. The permission to hold these hunts in the Spring might be the means of obviating the necessity of paying bounties on these marauders in the future. as it is done now in Que- bec. He even went so far as to sug- gest that a prohibition liscense fee be placed on mom hunters. Mr. Bates suggested that Spring bear hunts be staged between May 24 and June 30. Bears are looked upon by bush rangers as useless and are killed on sight. At present bear skins are worth only about two dollars. The matter has been brought before the Game and Fisheries department but had met with objec- tions from Hon. Chas. MoCrea and his deputy minister on the ground that men with firearms should not be per- mitted in the woods at that season of the year. Mr. Bates stated that during thatpartoi‘theyearthewoodsoon- tained many trappers. who are armed. Many of these men are foreigners and are stripping the country of game. He suggested that the government should be educated on conditions as now ex- ist in the Northern woods. Ontario should be educated through the press. and this education should include Nor- thern members of the legislature and the Ontario Hunting and Fishing As- sociation. In its very full and readable report of the proceedings of the. association, The North Bay Nugget says that L. H. Hughes. president of the association occupied the chair and after welcom- ing the members or the association opened the discussion. A synopsis of various matters for discussion had been prepared and this was followed. The Want Bear Hunts in North in the Spring There has been a. very considerable increase in the bear population of the Northern woods, Mr. Stevens, Temag- ami. stated. and bounties were subject to possible abuse.

Island Lake Scene of a New Gold Rush Several syndicatw backed by Win- nipeg and Toronto capitalists have sent prospecting parties in to the field around the lake and at Confederation Island. largest of the islands in the lake. Men were travelling into the area by dog-sled and afoot. Major Cross, head of a. geological party said to be prospecting for foreign interests. who returned to Sioux Look- out last Tuesday aboard a giant mono- plane, told The Canadian Press his men had discovered gold, copper and nickel deposits in the area. Mr. Stevens suggested that the gov- ernment should greatly enlarge the present Niplssing game preserve with the view of conserving this great na- ional resources. According to despatches from Sioux Lookout last week reports reached there on Thursday last that a gold rush was under way throughout the district sur- rounding Island Lake. abou 300 miles to the northwest of Sioux Lookout. Ontario and Manitoba miners ex- pressed confidence that the discoveries of are indicated more than sporadic outcroppings and said they thought samples they had brought out did not rem-went the best ore to be found around the lake and on the islands. The return of Major Cross and Pilot Harvey St. Martin, Montreal aviator. after an absence of five days, dissipat- ed anxiety regarding the safety of the party which arose when weather con- ditions became well nigh impossible for flying. St. Martin said his delayed take-oi! on the return trip was occas- ioned by a two-day blizzard which was accompanied by a temperature of 46 below zero. The question of trying to stop the construction of new roads into tourist districts was dropped. The association also laid aside a suggestion that a fee of one dollar should be charged every adult resident fisherman. But the as- sociation did recommend that a license fee of one dollar be collected from any- one using firearms. St. Martin and Major Cross came out to get additional supplies, claim licenses and medicines for members of their pxrty of five geologists. one of whom. they said. had been hurt. They did not explain how the man was injur- ed. They refused to reveal the exact whereabouts of their party which was believed to be about 300 miles north- west of Sioux Lookout, although the monoplane. at the time of her take-of! 00er and Nickel Deposits Also Said to Have Been Discovered.
