This question has been asked many times and has been answered In as many different ways. It is ap- parent that wildlife values are large- ly intangible. It is not possible to assess the beauty of a flight of wild geese or to compute the exact value of viewing deer, moose or wild birds. Few would care to set a price on the thrill they felt when they saw their first moose, or put into dollars and cents the feelings of relaxation and contentment that came to them after a day afield with a camera, gun. hiking boots or fishing rod. Yet it is sometimes necessary to stress the economic importance of wildlife, and figures published by Arthur Hawthorne Carhart in Sports Afield will astonish many people. Carhart writes in part, “Setting up the sportsman business against the latest available figures of U.S, Department of Commerce, we find that the sportsman business stands at more than seven times the total sales and receipts of all jewellery stores, , It is over three times the take of all retail liquor stores. It exceeds the volume of business in furniture, draperies, radios, and household appliances. It is nearly fifty percent more than the total business of all gasoline filling stations. It is nearly thrice the amount paia to dealers in farm equipment. ““The total spent on sportsmen’s dogs alone exceeds by a wide margin what the public paid to see all base- ball, football, basketball, and hockey games, horse races and prize fights, both professional and amateur. The fact remains that hunting and fish- ing are the top sports may times over in the national scene. They are the most vital sports of all. Positive- jy they are big business, a vital part of the national economy. a mighty force in national life.” The author also deplored the fact that, although spectator sports are getting so much space in newspapers, and on radio and television pro- ing with wildlife matters is usually jammed into an obscure corner as if it were unimportant. It doesn’t seem istent, 17 Cariboo Lakes Will Be Stocked Some 17 lakes in the Cariboo will ibe stocked this year by the Game Commission, according to Game War- den Joe Gibault. In some cases fry will he liberated with other fingerlings, depending on the coarse fish problem.

Meadow, Bridge, Canim, Dekka, Egan, Fawn, George, Horse, Kelly, Sherdan, Spout and Watch. Installation of a screen at the out- let of Chimney Lake in an attempt to stop spawners going down the creek and lower lakes was undertak- en last year. This spring the screen was removed once and Mr. Gibault has warned that this is not to be tampered. with. Niquidet Transport Williams Lake - Horsefly Over 600 Micose Counted In Chilcotin Over 600 moose were sighted dur- ing a two-hour count of the big game animals in the areas around the Gang Ranch and out to Whitewater Under the direction of Game Bi ologist Lawson Sugden, the survey parted consisted of Game Warden Joe Gibault and Mrs. Gordon Black- well, observers, and Frank Burgess. pilot-observer. The flight was made Monday and covered approximately 130 miles of this western country. During the count on selected areas over Gang Ranch and upper Big Creek, a total of 525 moose were tal- lied. A similar flight over the lower Big Creek-Whitewater region, 117 moose were seen. Largest single herd seen was 43. At this time of year the moose in these regions spend the greater part of the day feeding and resting in the open swamps and meadows and are readily seen from the air.
