The dining-table with its snow-white 
oil cloth covering, well arranged sil- 
verware, and bountifully loaded down 
with all the delicacies of the season, 
is attractive enough to make the most 
chronic dyspeptic wish he could re- 
main in this healthful climate and 
these pleasant surroundings, under the 
lonesome pine, for the rest of his days. 
Owing to the aforementioned faulty 
game laws that were enacted in thes2 
states a few years ago, some of us 
decided we would seek a territory more 
virgin, where we could not only hunt 
the same kind of game we had been 
hunting, but, in addition, would have 
the advantage of also hunting still 
larger game, such as moose, caribou, 
bear, etc., consequently, for the past 
four or five years, I have made various 
pilgrimages into the remote Canadian 
wilds. The past two expeditions I was 
on, we went into the semi-unknown 
wilds of the interior of the province 
of Ontario. 
As far as game laws are concerned, 
we find that most of the provinces of 
Canada have game laws that are far 
superior to most of the northern states 
of the U. S. A., especially those of the 
Great Lakes region. In addition to the 
modern game laws, the license fee of 
$25.00 is only half the amount of the 
fee we had paid in the states, and be- 
sides big game is much more plentiful 
and of much greater variety. The 
wilds of Canada are more virgin and 
the scenic beauty of the mammoth pine 
forests and landscape are unsurpassed, 
|and the lover of nature in its primeval 
state can feast his eyes to his heart’s 
content. 
‘north central part of Ontario usually 
opens October 25th. The winter snows 
*n the province usually begin during 
the period between October Ist and 
October 20th. After the first snow 
arrives, other snow-falls usually fol- 
low every few days, and from the first 
snow-fall, the ground is continuously 
deeply covered until the next April. 
When hunting in this locality, I find 
it most advisable to arrive on the camp 
site about November Ist, and remain 
until December 1st. 

As I have a better memory concern- 
ing details of my last hunting trip to 
Canada than of some of the other pre- 
vious sojourns, I will relate some of 
the experiences we encountered during 
our four weeks’ happy sojourn in the 
wilds of the interior. After arriving 
in the province, we embarked on a 
branch lumber road and went into the 
interior of the primitive as far as 
possible. At this location we were not 
far from the geographical place where 
the lost American balloonists, you have 
;read about, happened to come out to

the railroad a few years ago. After 
disembarking from the dinky train, 
that only runs every two or three days, 
we loaded our baggage onto two sleds 
which were drawn through thirteen 
inches of snow by heavy lumber horses 
that had been provided for us in ad- 
vance through the courtesy of a friend 
of mine who is a Canadian government 
official. As we were now on the edge 
of a strictly virgin country, no timber 
had been cut out, except now and then 
a few choice pine that stood in close 
proximity to this new branch line rail- 
road track. 
A. government forest ranger and 
trapper had made arrangements for 
us to go twenty-five miles over land 
through the dense forest, farther into 
the interior. He had provided rough 
saddle horses for himself and me, and 
we started on ahead of the other boys 
to make a trail through the snow, and 
get a camp site in readiness before 
night, at the half-way place, leaving 
the other boys with the teamsters 
to bring on the baggage. After re- 
maining all night at this temporary 
camp, next morning early we left the 
half-way place in the same formation 
as the day before, expecting to arrive 
at our final camping place in time to 
get our permanent camp in semi-readi- 
ness before night. The forest ranger 
and I arrived at the last camp site 
about two hours in advance of the 
other boys and our baggage on the 
sleds. 
Among the first things we saw when 
we arrived at the designated spot 
beside a clear trout stream, under the 
towering pine, were the large tracks of 
a bear that had passed only a few 
minutes before; not wishing to waste 
any time at this critical period, we 
gave it no attention and immediately 
began removing snow from our camp 
site; cutting stakes, wood, etc. After 
our caravan arrived, we all worked 
like trojans and got our camp in shape 
to at least provide heat and shelter for 
the night. This first night in camp 
we slept on improvised beds as best 
we could, but the next day, after all 
hands were at work, we soon had our 
camp in first-class condition for a com- 
fortable four weeks’ home in the heart 
of the primitive wilds. No stumps 
could be seen, and we were far beyond 
the place where empty tin cans or 
other signs of civilization were in 
evidence. 
Before the ranger deserted us and 
started back with the teams on the 
long journey to the railroad the next 
day, he explained that it would be 
possible for us to go only a short dis- 
tance in most any direction from our 
camp with a “semi-feeling” that no 
human foot (unless it might have been 
an occasional Indian trapper) had ever 
trod the ground in that specific locality
