The plight of the Indians is not as grave as that of the Eskimos farther north for they live in a region that is fairly well-wooded and can gener- ally support themselves by hunting the smaller fur-bearing animals, Prior to 1889 the unfailing source of food and clothing for the Eskimos was the caribou, which once frequen- ted this district in vast herds almost comparable to the buflalo herds farâ€" ther south. But in 1883 the caribou migrated as a result, it is supposed of the ï¬res that raged through Un- gava. Since then the Eskimo has been driven to rely upon the common Arctic seal. But this is a diminish- ing source of supply, and for many years has not been adequate. The Eskimos ï¬nd it difï¬cult to get food and also to provide themselves with the fur clothing that the climate demands. It is true that those of them who reside near a trad- ing post are not permitted to starve, but if they are to, be made self-sup- porting it is necessary that there should be a supply of food native to the country provided for them. It is believed athat the reindeer would suit the condition admirably. Still Urging the Cause ' Natives of James Bay Area Rev. W. G. Walton Points Out the Plight of Natives. En- deavouring to Persuade the Dominion to Come to Their Rescue by Establishing Herds of Domestic Reindeer in North. In the vast region along the coast of James and Hudson’s Bays from East Main River in the south to Hud- son’s Straits in the north dwell at the present time seme‘800 Eskimos and 1,000 Coastal Cree Indians, the Eski- mos to the north of Great \Vhite River, which is the dividing line of the territory, marking the boundary between the wooded and the unwood- ed area, and the Indians to the south. Many of these people at the present time are in danger of starvation. In the past years many of them have starved to death. Their weakened condition has made them easy victims for disease, and they have been re- duced in several well authenticated cases of cannibalism. Their only spokesman is the Rev. \V. G. \Valton, who has spent thirty-two years of missionary work among them, and who since his return from the north yet keeps in touch with those whom he calls “my people.†He is endea- vouring to persuade the Dominion Government to come .to their rescue by establishing there herds of domes- tic reindeer. Only by this means, in his opinion, can their condition be permanently improved and the terror of starvation removed. The following is an extract from a report of the Royal Commission on the establishment of a reindeer and musk ox industry in the region:â€" “The whole of Ungava would ap- pear to be well suited for reindeer. There is ample supply' of suitable vegetation, and in the northern andi \\ estern parts of the peninsula there are very few calibou. This latter condition has existed since 1883, when, as a result of forest ï¬res, they disap- peared from that part of the countr). As a. consequence probably of this disappearance, the number of 11 olves is also insigniï¬cant. The natives, both Indians and Eskimos, on the eastern shores of Hudson’s Bay suf- fer perhaps to a greater extent than any others, from the periodical scar- city of food, as also from lack of deer skins with which to make suitable clothing. It would therefore seem highly desirable that one or more herds of reindeer should be estab- lished on the coast. Attention is called to the evidence of the Rev. \V. G. \Valton, missionary of the Church of England, stationed on James Bay, Rev. Mr. \Valton has accumulated evidence of the tragedy which has already overwhelmed many of these people, and he says that never were conditions worse than to-day. In the \Vinter of 1892-3, 150 Indians starved to death south of Fort Chimo. In the same Winter eight Indians started, on a hunting expedi- tion to seek fur that they could not get on the coast and only one of them survived It was currently believed that he subsisted by eating the bodies of his companions. In the Winter of 1911-12 an 'Eskimo woman and two young daughters perished 80 miles north of the Great White River trad- ing post, and the condition of the bodies showed only too plainly that the desparate mother had lived on the flesh of her children, and that she her- self succumbed later, when part of her body was eaten by foxes. In the Autumn of 1902 measles broke out at Fort George and about forty per cent. of the coast Indians died because they {were too sick to hunt for their daily food. In 1916 twenty-three In- dians starved to death. There were other cases of starvation which came to the knowledge of Rev. Mr. \Valton and there were deaths through ptoâ€" maine poisoning through eating put- rid meat. The missionary reports that in the past twenty years tuberculosis has greatly increased, and this, he be- lieves is the result of the natives tak- ing to marquee tents and English clothing. More and more they are forced to depend upon the food sup- plied at the trading posts, and they cannot obtain by hunting anywhere nearly enough to pay for their neces- saries. The introduction of reindeer would furnish a reserve of food that would always be available in case of distress and ultimately would "become the staple article of‘ diet when the supply became sufï¬ciently abundant. The food that once nourished the caribou remains and wouldsustain the reindeer. The natives are intel- ligent and ambitious and would soon be taught to herd and develop the reindeer. The feeding grounds for deer are removed from the vicinity of native dogs and poachers, a menace which was the great cause of loss in the Grenfell experiment. Though there are no wolves there now, it is only reasonable to expect that they would return when assured of a food supply, but the Eskimos and Indians might be counted on to keep their numbers reduced to a mimimum. The experiment is a most hopeful one, and it seems reasonable to expect that the Dominion Government Will give it a trial. HOILINGBR RECREATION CLUB SMOKER MAY 7TH as also to the special statement which he has prepared at the request of the commission, and which is attached to Appendix VIII. It will he noted that he has no hesitation in stating that any tame reindeer located there would be quite safe from attack by either Indians or Eskimos.†A Smoker and Entertainment will be given in aid of the Hollinger Rug- by Football Team on Thursday (to- morrow) evening, May 7th, in the Hollingen Recreation Hall. The entertainments will commence at 9‘ pm. The programme will 'be a very pleasing one, and it will 'be one of the biggest half-dollar’s worth of a good time yet. No one interested should miss this event. It 'S'B good cause and it’s sure to be a ï¬rst-class pleasant evening. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ONE OF HEIRS T0 IMMBNSE‘ ESTATE WELL-KNOWN HERE M couple of weeks ago there was a paragraph in The Advance in regard to 3118.13. Russell, of Charlton. who is one of the heirs to an estate vari- ously estimated as totalling from $100,000,000.00 to $800,000,000.00. It will be interesting to note that Mrs. Russell! is well-known and highly TL' garded in Timmins, having spent the winters here for some years past, be- ing the guest of 'her daughter, Mrs. Jas. Morrison. Mrs. Russell, and her sister, M13. Ed. Laxng, of Deniield, Ontanio, are .the two oldest li\ mg heiis of the estate referred toâ€"tlle Edwards Estate.

For some. years past the heirs to the Edwards Estate have 'been attempting to secure the inheritance through the ordinary clegal channels. There have been man)" difliculties in the way, one of them‘ being the matter of proving the des-. cent of all the many 'heirs concerned. The two sisters, Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Layng, are the two nearest descen- dantsnow living of the founder of the Edwards Estate, and their claim is said to be practically ., beyond dis- pute. There are close to two thous- and other heirs to share the immense fortune involved. One of these has spent a small fortune in pressing the. case for the heirs «in general, and he hopes now that there wiill be a, com- paratively early settlement of the matter. i'l‘hc Edwards Estate. involves an estate of immense proportions. It includes valuable acreage in New York city and also a tract of land in North Carolina. The latter is said to have a value now of around $4 00,- ‘00‘0,‘0‘0(2.'00. The land in New York includes a section from Trinity church to the Hudson" River. “This strip has many important buildings and properties and so is of great value. The claim 'is based on a grant to Robert E. Edwards, made ’by King George II of England, for aid in ï¬ght- ing the.French. Robert "E. Edwards according to the information gathered by the heirs, did not sell the land, but leased: if for a long term of years.
