two, in her den, where all remain dur- 
ing the rest of the winter. When first 
born the cubs are exceedingly small, 
being not much bigger than the pups 
of a big dog which they somewhat re- 
semble. 
In the Northwest, grizzlies probably 
live more on meat, either killed by them- 
selves or found dead, during the late 
fall and in the spring when they first 
come out, eating more vegetable and in- 
sect food as the warmer weather brings 
things to life on the bare hillsides and 
high plateaus above timber line. Here 
they put in a tremendous amount of 
labor, turning over stones or old 
stumps and scratching round for ants, 
mice and gophers, also for the roots 
of various plants. Their fondness for 
carrion, particularly in the spring and 
autumn when other food is not so plen- 
tiful, gives the hunter his surest chance 
of a shot at a season when their fur is 
in good condition; and the carcass of 
an old horse, slaughtered where the 
signs look right, is a morsel hard for 
any properly brought up bear to re- 
sist. But except in very wild and 
rarely hunted districts they do most of 
their feeding at night and in the twi- 
light of early morning or dusk of the 
dying day. When the bait shows signs 
of having been visited, more often when 
a bit ripe, the hunter will take his 
stand, as afternoon draws on, in some 
screen of brush or fire within com- 
manding distance of the bait and the 
approaches thereto. 
Some old bears are uncannily cute, 
and no matter how calm the evening, 
seem to know perfectly well when a 
bait is being watched. Hours drag by, 
and thoroughly chilled and cramped 
by his long vigil the weary hunter may 
give it up in disgust and hurry back 
to the warmth of a camp fire and com- 
fort of his blankets, only to return the 
next morning and find that Bruin has 
made a big hole in the bait and per- 
haps entirely carried off a part of it. 
Several years ago certain ranching in- 
terests occupied much of my time in 
the southwestern part of Alberta just 
east of the foothills that, rising from 
the flat prairie country, lead up onto 
the backbone of the Rockies. 
A®oUT the second week in Septem- 
ber I met a man who had a small 
log ranch in the rough country some 
twenty miles to the westward. He had 
come into “town” for his mail, a shave, 
some tobacco, groceries, a new pair of 
boots, and any interesting gossip, all 
conveniently procurable at the one- 
storied general store, barber shop and 
post office. Apparently somewhat un- 
comfortable in the new squeaky boots, 
but otherwise completely transformed 
since the shave, and contentedly puffing 
on a rather pale and anemic looking 
cigar, he cheerfully accepted my invi-
