A NEW GAME SANCTUARY 



Acting on the petition of the property 

 holders interested, a substantial tract of 

 land and water in the vicinity of Arn- 

 prior, Ontario, has been created a game 

 sanctuary by the Ontario (Government. 

 This piece of country is splendidly ad- 

 apted for a refuge for game, as very 

 little of it is cultivated, and a large part 

 of it is covered with thick woods, which 

 suggested the name chosen for the sanc- 

 tuary. Nopiming being an Indian word 

 meaning literally "in the woods." 



The effect of this action on the part 

 of the Government prohibits, under 

 heavy penalties, the capturing or killing 

 anywhere inside the aforementioned 

 bounds at any time of the year by shoot- 

 ing, poisoning or trapping or in any 

 other manner, of any wild animal or 

 bird that is in any way protected by 

 law. 



The property holders assert that their 

 action in this matter has not been 

 prompted by any selfish motive, as they 

 themselves are also bound by the act's 

 provisions, and have no more right to 



^lioot or trap within the bounckiries of 

 the sanctuary than has any outsider. 

 What tliey wish to do, is to establish for 

 their own pleasure and that of everyone 

 who cares to visit it, a natural zoological 

 park where the birds and animals that 

 once were so plentiful in that part of the 

 country, may be found again in their 

 wild state. 



ONTARIO'S ROAD TREES 



By one of the amendments to the 

 Highway Act the department is given 

 the right to plant trees and carry out 

 a system of reforestation ir corners 

 or spaces of road allowances which 

 otherwise wotild grow up wild and 

 unkempt. Hon. F. C. Biggs thought 

 this would be of practical as well as 

 ornamental value to the Province. 



PLANTING IN THE WEST 



{.liner Old, Sask., Magnet.) 

 A. H. Norton has received a consign- 

 ment of trees from the Indian Head Ex- 

 perimental Farm, which he has since 

 planted for a windbreak on the north 

 and west sides of his farm buildins^s.^
