and such others as may be successfully introduced 

 may live undisturbed. In the portions of the 

 great reserve not already set aside as parks, 

 hunting and trapping will be permitted under

Here is a vast area, giving a territory of ap- 

 proximately sixteen thousand square miles of 

 mountainous territory, brought under special ad- 

 ministration by two neighboring countries. This 

 action will secure not only the protection of the 

 forests, and the water supply, but also the fish, 

 game and bird life, and will preserve for the 

 enjoyment of this and future generations the un- 

 touched beauty and charm of the everlasting hills. 



A large herd of buffalo, purchased in western 

 Montana, was transported to Canada and set free 

 in a large park near Edmonton, Alberta, where 

 they are doing extremely well, and promise great 

 increase. 



For much of this all English-speaking residents 

 of North America have to thank Hon. Frank 

 Oliver, the Dominion Minister of the Interior, a 

 member of the Boone and Crockett Club, whose 

 keen intelligence looks far enough into the future 

 to enable him to provide for changes which many 

 of us are as yet unable to foresee.
