This still ax istsj but it is no longer at tho door of the hunter, or even within a few hours' journey. Tho lust ; great haunts of the. big' game today nre the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. In these two places big game is yet plentiful, and the reasonable sports man, who has nothing of the "game hog in his system und what good sportsman has? may satisfy his ambition to enjoy a few weeks of the same sort of hunting that "Leather stocking," Cooper's fumous hero, found at his very elbow, and to place on the walla of liis great hall or his dining room, tho heads of moose, deer, Rocky Mountain goats, bear and other specimens as witness of his prowess as a marksman. In tho Kootennys in Southern British Columbia, the sportsmnrt still can find within a few miles of each other, what stands today as a record list of big game, six different animals, the moose, niule deer, Kocky Mountain gout, Rocky Moun tain sheep, caribou and grizzly bear (ursus horriuilis), the last named be ing tho greatest prize' a North American hunter can secure. The Indians believed that the possession of a necklace of grizzly bear claws made a brave worthy of the name, and the white hunter has always made it a point to deal with the grizzly with the greatest prudence because.' old "silver tip,.' when wounded, is one of the moat feroci ous animals in the world. It has been stated many times that nnimuls do not think, that instinct ell' them tc do things cr not to do .1? Stood Tfapfsiid Huul things, but if tho big game animals do not actually think, they approach very near to the process. In sum mer, when the closed season pro vents the hunter from shooting them, they remain in thd valleys within easy reach; but as if "tipped off'' by the intelligence department of the big game army, they promptly hike for the mountains as soon as September comes, apparently under standing that the ooen season in the Canadian Pacific Rockies begins in September, and move up to high altitudes. There are plenty of good horses' and guides despite the war even a sixty-year-old guide can make the ' average man "go somo" to keep up when on the trail and thero is plenty to eat, both in tho woods and in tho packs under the "diamond h-tch" Harris Grocery A " Phone, Main 70 and 77; Farmers, Black 192 ' Si 408 NORTH FIR STREET ACROSS THE TRACK 4 "United Stntes Food Administration License No, Gn0255."
