Increased Bounty for the Killing of Wolves in Ontario Pelts to Remain the Properâ€" ty of the Trapper. For many years The Advance advoâ€" cated increased bounty in Ontario for the killing of wolves, pointing out that the increase of the wolves meant the decrease of the deer and other desirâ€" able wild life without any compensatâ€" ing result. Enguiry here among pionâ€" eers, prospectors, settlers, hunters, and other classes, always found strong supâ€" port for an increased bounty on the wolves. Outside of a part of Algoma, the wolves had no friends in the North â€" Accordingly, it will be pleasing news ‘to most people here to know that the Ontario Government has inâ€" creased the bounty on wolves to $25.00 cach the pelts to remain the property of the trapper. The following letter sent out by the Ontario Game and Fisheries â€"Department â€" explains the matter in full;:â€" Toronto 2, March 4, 1941 To Northorn Ontario Tourist Qutitâ€" ters : â€" Genticmen:â€"PFor some â€" years â€" your organization has been pressing for an increased bounty on wolves. I am pleased to inform you that yesterday the Legislature gave third reading to an Act to amend The Wolf Bounty Act under which the Province will now pay a bounty of Twentyâ€"five Dollars cach on wolves taken since the FPirst of March, 1941, the pelts to remalin the property of the trapper. There has been a rather startling decrease in the annualnumber . of wolves killed in Ontario,. In the past eleven months, the take was only 988 and only $13,823.00 has heen paid in and only $13,823.00 has hbeen paid in bounties out of the $27,000.00 voted by the Legislature for this purpopse. When one contrasts this with the $53,â€" 000.00 paid in 1933 and $68,800.00 paid in 1932 for some 2,880 pelts offered each year for bounty, it will be readily seen the difference is rather striking. I believe it is explained in part this vear by the fact that there are 4710 fewer trappers who have taken out licenses and a great many Of those who have taken out their annual licenses take them only for the short beaver season, so that, because of enâ€" listments in the Active Service emâ€" ployment in War industries and for other obvious reasons, fewer people are in the bush shooting and trapping the occasional wolf in connection with their other activities. QOntario has enjoyed two or three very favourable winters for the deer and undoubtedly their numbers have creatly increased. Our advice is that the snow in the North is much deeper this year and conditions in the bush are such that there is every likelihoaod of great losses to the deer herds from the depredation of the wolves. I need not remind you what a great asset the deer and other game are to the Province and to your OWn indusâ€" try of catering to the tourists and the purpose of this letter is to ask for your coâ€"operation in organizing a conâ€" certed drive during the months of March and April to take as many wolves as possible. You and your guides know your parâ€" ticular district better than anyone else and how this can be nest accomplished. The Department of Game and Fisherâ€" ies will coâ€"operate to the extent of paying the additional bounty as indiâ€" cated mhove. Should there be any questions as to the best methods of taking wolves at this time of the year, a letter addressed to the Department will receive immediate attention and the best knowledge and advice that we have will be placed at your disposal. Trusting to receive your enthusiastic coâ€"operation in this matter, I remalin, YÂ¥ours sincerely, H. C. NIXON, Minisier in charge of Game and Fishâ€" eries. Norway‘s supply of dried stock fishâ€" 7000 tonsâ€"has been seized, while all domestic sales of klipfish have been stopped. Th Nazis have demanded ilo,ooo tons of klipfish for themselves with an additional 9,000 tons for Ttaly (Norway‘s entire supply of klipfish is | only 13,000 tons). On top of these requisitions, the Nazis have ordered that Norway must supply at least 150,000 tons of fresh fish in 1441â€"in other words that all the fresh fish which can possiblye be caught undéer the best of conditions, durin# the entire fishing season.
