are a haven for wild lifts;

where guns and hunting dogs
are forbidden and where the ani-
mals have come to locis upon man
as their friend rather than ag their
destroyer. As a result. wild ani-
mals are increasing in the national
parks of Canada and the graceful
deer, the lordly bison and the al-
ways interesting bear live at peace
‘in, their natural. habitat without
molestation, :

At Jasper National Park in Al-
berta, which is 4,400 square miles
in extent and the largest of Canada’s
national parks, bears, dear, moose,
mountain sheep and goats abound,
and the visitor finds also great
numbers of smaller animals such as
beaver, -aquirrel and others which
are becoming quite tame since they
realize that they are protdcted.

T's National Parks of Canada

At Wainwright, on the mein line
of the Canadian National Railways,
east of Edmonton, there exists one
of the finest demonstrations of the
feasibility of game conservation,
for there, in the buffalo park are
some 8,000 animals, the growth
from a herd of 716° which was pur-
chased som

eid

y

sixteen years ago by |'b
‘ the Canadian Government and al-

lowed to multipty in peace.
great has been the development of
the herd that this fall 2,000 of the
surplus animals had to be slaugh-
tered and in the spring another
2,000 young buffalo are to be
moved into the northern hinterland
and allowed to roam at will there
under conditions where they also
will be safe from ruthless hunters.

In addition to buffalo, the gov-
ernment has at Wainwright large
numbers of elk and yak, which are
fast becoming unknown animals
except to the adventurous hunter
who wags prepared to go miles he-
yond the limits of civilization, and
these animals also are multiplying
in the conditions under which they
are being kept.

Visitors to Jasper Park at the
present time find cinnamon, brown
and black bears very numerous; if
they go far enough afield they. may
reach the haunts of ‘the grizzly,

So!the lower slopes of the great

mountains which rise on every side,
while the more timorous mountain
goat may be seen on the higher
slopes, making hig way over pre-
earious footing and seeming to
challenge the camera enthusiast to
climb up and inelude his picture in
the collection. ;

By means of the sanctuaries —

which have been given to various
animals, the younger Canadians
growing up today can now and in
the. future see for themselves,
specimens of various big game ani-
mals which a few years ago were
threatened with destruction. . And
since Canada was almost the last
native haunt of many of these, such
as the buffalo, the educational
value alone of the sanctuaries is
great. The experiments ‘already
made have shown that such ani-
mals ag the buffalo can readily be
propagated in captivity and in their
case also, the revenue derived by
the government from the ‘sale. of
buffalo meats, hides and heads
from the.animals which it has be-
come necessary to kill, will, it js
estimated, go a long way towards

paying for the cost of ‘the experi. .

ment. and the upkeep of the Na-
tional Parks,
