-aily happens that some freshly < 




Indian’s little .44 rifle, and, as the weather was 
fine, used the tent instead of blankets, and sc 
did not suffer much discomfort. That night the 
Indian was seized with fits of terrible coughing 
but when he found that C. and I would not 
give him any of the small supply of whisky 
which we had; the cough disappeared. 
Traveling along the Kettle River Valley, 
came across the freshly- skilled carcas of a black 
bear. A few miles further we got to Beaver 
Meadows, where is now the mining village of 







we 
































































Beaverton, and there we found two of the. Mc- 
Dougall brothers—Aneas and lLezime—the 
former being one of the finest hunters and 
guides in British Columbia. Aneas said that, as 
they were riding along the trail, they had come 
on to the bear suddenly, feeding on the kinnick-| 
kinnick berries, and had wounded him at the| 
first shot. The bear ran up the hillside, and 
Lezime, young and active, threw off his boots, 
and by running got again within shot and gave 
him the coup ‘de grace. 
On our return to camp, one evening, after an 
unsuccessful day looking for bear, we found that 
the lazy Batiste had allowed the remains of thel 
fire to spread all over the grass, and that it had| 
burnt the front of my corduroy coat and vest 
and some other clothes. The first warning 
which we had of the fire was the explosion of a 
.44 cartridge, which was nearer the fire than a 
heap of others 
As it seemed there was to be no luck on this 
trip, we now started back for home, and when 
I reached the Mission Valley three days later. 
with a coat and waistcoat minus the front, and 
with a cap improvised out of a piece of white 
flour sack, some of the boys shook with laughter 
at my appearance. When we reached home, we 
found that the sudden melting of the snows had 
caused great floods all*over “the Province, and 
on the delta of the Fraser River, miles of coun- 
try were still under water, and steamboats had 
been used to rescue some of the farmers.—

GROUSE DISEASE RUMORS, 
SOME people have affirmed that the real, true 
grouse disease has broken out in the Elgin dis- 
irict of Scotland. If it has done so it will be 
soon heard of elsewhere, for the disease never 
lays severer hold on the grouse than when it 
first occurs in the incubating season. On the 
other hand, the same people have reported dis- 
ease for the last two seasons when there has 
been none, and, possibly, and I hope probably, 
it will prove to be nothing worse than the an-| 
nual recurrence of the deaths of those grouse 
that have perk just managed to w ithstand the 
winter, and die when the latter is extended into 
the spring, as it has been this year. It gener- 
lead grouse are| 
picked up in March and April. That is the time 
when the deer most often die from the| 
effects of a hard winter. It natural that it| 
should be so. We all know. the story of the man 
who fed his horse on thorns and how ‘the per- | 
verse beast died just as it was getting used to | 
the food. That is what the grouse and deer do, | 
when food is at its shortest level in the last |. 
weeks of winter, and the animals are at their | 
weakest front many previous weeks of privation. | 
The starting of the heather to grow is accom- | 
panied by the quickly renewed vigor of those 
that are strong enough to make use of the} 
change, but those that are not so die off, ap-| 
parently as the result of the change of food:| 
Out of kindness one does not set down a starv- | 
ing man to an aldermanic feast, but he is obliged |! 
to be brought round gently. 
Possibly the same 
law rules with grouse and deer, when the latter | 
are not hand-fed 
during winter. Every grouse | 
seen dead is naturally sus pected of having died | 
of the grouse disease, but in most cases this is | 
not correct, and at the present moment it is | 
not really known that the disease exists amy- | 
where, but it is known that it was totally absent 
last year, eee that not even the grouse commis- 
sion could discover a “suspect” tor the bacterio- 
logists to experiment upon. In the nature of 
things, such a condition of health cannot last 
very long if the disease takes its periodic and 
usual course.—lIllustrated Sporting and Dramatic
