While there are always two sides to an argument, there is psually a third élement that may actually be convinced. _ This third element is _ openminded â€"and ready to hear and heed the opinion of those in a position.to know. /A man like Mark Robinson, who has spent nineteen years in Algonquin Park ought to know something about wolves. Here is part of what he has to say in a recent letter in The Otâ€" tawa Journal :â€" j A wise man might well say that an argument can never be enged People take sides upon a question, and facts make little impress on them afterâ€" wards. There is always a possibility that you may tire the other fellow out, however. *In the case of wolves and their characteristics, a lot of "‘tiring ‘out‘‘ seems to be ‘necessary. Some 1mdgmat1ve people, â€" supported by some sensational newspapers, started the story that wolves chase and devour Suman beings. On the other side, tHhere is The Sault Ste., Marie Starâ€"and some other journals and people who would not (believe the Chief Ranger Mark Robinson, After Nineteen Years in _ Algongquin Parg{, Says that Starry Stories of Ferocious W)lves are all ~Blooming Bunkum, or Words to That Effect. ho "I am not a wolf killer by any quick touch methods and have never been chased by wolves or foreed to climb a tree to escape from them. It is nearly 19 years since I became a member of the park staff, and I cannot recall a single instance‘ in which a wolf or wolves really attack ed a human being in that time. We have heard scores of fine and thrilling stories about wolves chasing people, but not a single one of these wolf yarns would stand investigation. "‘The wolf is always branded as a coward. I know them to be very cunning, in fact pol§séessed of the lowâ€" est sneaking kind of very cawtious. They seldom caught at a disadvantage, and they will not take a sporting chance like the fox. Even when in packs, wolves®observe the sneaking caution.. They rush to attack a deer or other prey when everything is favorable, other- wise they will wait until it is. ‘‘This morning, March 20, 1926, there are two packs on the opposite sides of Trout Lake howling at each other the woods reâ€"echo the blood curdling refrain after a‘ carâ€" nival of slaughter among the deer..‘‘ Mr. Robinson then lf“â€"’es_ instances coming to his attention of wolves kilâ€" ling deer, and he continues :â€" ‘"‘I have never in all the years of my service seen or heard as much eviâ€" dence of wolves as during the past autumn months in the park. The northern end and central parts of the park were overfun with wolves and the slaughter of the: deer > great. Fortunately the Oritario Government acted wisely in restoring the payment of the bounty ($15) to the rangers on the park staff for killing the wolves with{g the‘park, and the results are satisfactory. * “Gomg back over my daily jourâ€" nals, kept sin‘ce coming on the park staff, I could give many instances where we have found two or three deer killed at one time and place, and in a few instances as many as four and five deer killed within a few. feet of each other and scearcely any of the flesh eatenâ€"the work of wolves. * ' ‘*There are perhaps more romances and stories toldâ€"of heroic battles and escapes from wolves than from any other source. Is it the insane deâ€" sire of some individuals to gain pub; licity, or juÂ¥t pure cussédness or fear in many instances that results in many of the wolf stories being told. *A young man who now sleeps in France told me the following experiâ€" ence : ho.

LC T ie ts o ht hn ns w Timmins Branch: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘Nfy chum and I were very keen fo spend a few months in a lumber camp. Our parents objected and we, boyâ€"like, â€"ran away from home and bought our tickets to Rock Lake Station, where we arrived about noon and found we had a walk of 17 miles to the J. 0. Shire Lumber Company camps, through a wolf infested forest. We had heard many thrilling yarns told ‘by the lumberjacks of . hairâ€" breadth escapes, etc., and we believed them to be true. As evening fell we were slogging along feeling the efâ€" fects of ithe long walk, when from the hills ahead of us there came the how! of a single wolf. Suddenly it was answered by several wolves that appeared to be all around us. A couple of~ yellow hbirech trees, with branches growing well down the trunks, appealed to us, and up we went until the top branches would scarcely bear gur wotght, "©Wa looked down inftQ ithe forest and in the pale moonlight every stump and end of log became a living wolf. We were so seared we could hear our hearts beating. The night was very cold, below zero. We beat our hands against the brarnches and stamped our feet to keep warm. At last I was forced to tell my friend I was growing numb with cold and would go down and try to start a fire. Close by, was a yellow ‘birch with long strings "of. bark hanging loose. A few feet farther away was a bhuge hollow hemlock rampike that proved to be very dry. With matches ready, I dropped out of the tree and a moment later a bright streak of fire ran up the birch tree, and in a few more minutes fire was roaring out the top of the old: rampike, lighting up the forest. We gathered in as close to the fire as possible and prepared‘a few brands to hurl at the wolves if they attacked us. iMy "‘chum was slightly frozen. â€" ‘"‘The wolves did not attack but kept up their howling at intervals. As daylight approached we heard the tinkle of sleighbells, and in a few minutes a team came along the bush road. The man in charge was an old friend. We told our story, and he advised us to say nothing but go into camp a mile distant, get something to eat, and, after a rest, look around and find out how close the wolves were to us. We did, and there hadn‘t been a wolf within a half mile of where we spent the worst night of our livesâ€"the result of foolish and untruthful stories told about wolves. Yes, we learned a few things that night. The experience .was profitâ€" able,‘‘ he said with a smile, ‘‘in many way, but we learned to discount all wolf stories, when they applied to atâ€" tacking human beings, and we were properly frightened.‘‘ ‘‘Now, in conclusion, let me urge all the sportsmen, hunters and trapâ€" pers to get together and do their utâ€" most to reduce the numbers of the wolves in and around our big game preserves. Let us sink all differences. If we are to fight the wolves suceessâ€" fully we myst have the very best coâ€" operation o* the various game departâ€" ments and hunting clubs. There need be no fear of the extermination of the wolf or the quality of our deer deteriorationg, there will always be enough of the grey devils eseape to keep their place in Nature. "‘I think perhaps the experience of these two boys is represehtative of most of the experiences where men have been treed by wolves, and there is no doubt in my mind but Editor Curran, of the Soo, is correct in his estimate of the wolf stories and perâ€" fectly safe in offering the reward he does. # I finish writing this article I can hear the wolves bhowling at Lac Manager. Traverse. There appears to be only two of them. Possibly their, mates have fallen v1ct1ms of baits. Let‘s hope so."‘ DIED FROM INJURIES RECEIVED IN EXPLOSION Brief reference was made last week to the death of Mr. Richard Cowan, formerly of this‘ camp. â€"A despatch received from Belleville, under date of March 24th, says:â€" ‘*Richard Cown, 38, son of W. J. Cowan, mapager of the Fluorspar mme, near Madoc, died early today as the result of the accident late yesterâ€" day. â€" While engaged in work as proâ€" spector in the mine,a charge of dynaâ€" mite had been laid, but owing to the failure to detonate, Cowan and anâ€" other worker, A. Cassibeau, decended into the workings. Cowan struck the charge with a pick axe and a exploâ€" sion followed., Both legs were brokâ€" en at the hips as he was lblown aâ€" gainst the <side wall. Cowan _ was started for Peterboro to a hospital, but expired as the train reached Havelock. Cassibeau escapned with minor injuries. Cowan â€" leaves _ a widow_and one ‘child, aged 10.

Returns received by the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Mines from the go mines of Ontario for the month of February show that for the two camps, Porcupine and Kirkland Lake, there was a slight decrease of $34,033) below the output for the previous month, due to the short month of 28 days in February. The mines of the Porcupine area reported an increase, while those of Kirkland Lake were slightly below the record for January. The tabulation below, in addition to the monthly figures for January and February, skows the finally revised figures for 1925. Slight fluctuations in monthly output are due in part to the changes and rearrangements both in mining and milling by several of the companies in expanding their operations, and also to the nature of the monthly returns, some, of which are in the form of estimates.
