16 DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISHERIES No. 9 (1943) 



The bounty on wolves which were destroyed in the counties indicated are origin- 

 ally paid, in accordance with the provisions of the Wolf Bounty Act, by the county 

 authorities, and the Department then remits forty per cent of such bounty pay- 

 ments to the county authorities concerned. 



As previously shown the total payments for bounty and incidental expenses 

 amounted to $40,593.77, of which $40,529.00 was actual bounty, and the remaining $64.77 

 was expenses. 



GENERAL 

 TOURIST OUTFITTERS: — 



It is generally admitted that the variety of good fishing and hunting available In 

 the Province are not the least of our attractions for tourist visitors. The economic 

 value of good hunting and fishing is apparent when it is remembered that the tourist 

 trade is one of the leading industries of the Province, and in this connection it is well 

 to remember that the intensive efforts which have been made to increase the volume 

 of this tourist business is part of our war effort and as such demands the complete 

 co-operation of every citizen. 



The regulation and control of hunting and fishing camps which provide accom- 

 modation to the tourist trade in northern Ontario was continued in 1941-42. The neces- 

 sary licenses to operate were issued to 665 proprietors of such camps, and notwith- 

 standing the uncertainty of existing conditions this was a reduction of only two from 

 the number of such camps which were provided with licenses in the previous year. Of 

 these 610 were issued to resident operators and 55 to non-resident operators. 



These camps are located as set forth in the following tabulation: — 



Algoma 92 



Cochrane 7 



Kenora 158 



Manitoulin 56 



Nipissing 93 



Parry Sound 109 



Patricia 2 



Rainy River 37 



Renfrew 14 



Sudbury 59 



Temiskaming 6 



Thunder Bay 32 



Total 665 



THE BULLETIN: — 



Publication of the Bulletin issued periodically by the Department since August, 

 1936, was suspended because of prevailing economic conditions. The final number of 

 this very interesting publication was issued for the months of November-December, 

 1941. We do anticipate that this suspension is but a temporary measure and that the 

 publication of the Bulletin will be recommenced when normal conditions have returned 

 to a war-torn world. 



The closing comment of the Editor contained in the last issue is quoted herewith: — 

 "We take this opportunity of expressing thanks to all those who 

 helped to make the editorial road comparatively smooth, and trust 

 our combined efforts have succeeded in stimulating interest in the 

 conservation of our Wildlife Natural Resources."
