will require an enormous program of 

 railroad building. If we include the 

 undeveloped territory of Russia, an 

 idea of what railway mileage may 

 be required can be obtained by com- 

 parison with that of the United Stat- 

 es. The total mileage in Russia is 

 at present 47,000 miles, against 260,- 

 000 miles in this country. This 

 means for Russia, on the basis of 

 square miles, only 5 per cent, and 

 on the basis of population, only 10 

 per cent of the railway mileage of the 

 United States."

GAME REFUGES 



By E. R. Kerr 



When the sportsmen of Ontario are 

 sufficiently organized and are con- 

 sidering the cjuestion of game repro- 

 duction through the establishment of 

 game refuges, or game sanctuaries, 

 upon a number of the National For- 

 ests, they must clearly realize that 

 others also are interested in the use of 

 these forest areas, and they desire to 

 proceed along lines which will be at 

 once just and equitable to all con- 

 cerned. 



It is well known that many of the 

 areas once occupied by various game 

 animals and birds are now more* or less 

 used by the flocks and herds of settlers. 

 At the same time, there are many 

 forest areas which cannot be used to 

 advantage for domestic stocks, or 

 which from their very nature will 

 support a number of wild game in ad-
