tea far dimity Tr 'there Mtet Scardly
ri, effect the pteseut serious shortage
;f meat suroiee, the Advisory Board
n Will Yate betectioa has had under
con ration the poeeibility of utilizing
the ceuntheee surds an/arca Ground
eiben in the northern re ;ions of Can-
ada, Fenn time to thee travellers and
others have stated that these herds
cmid be utilized to relieve the meat
shote ,e.. They bare been estimated to
number from 10.00,50 to 30,000,Q0Q
aelinnis; but, naturally, ouch estimates
can be .little more than ,guess=work.
Nevertheless, we-huow that these anim-
ais may be numbered by to anions. Once
a year, during the winter months,' they
reach, in their southward inigratien, the
northern ]trait of tree growth, extending
from.Churchtti.11 an Hudson ilty in the,
east, to the neighbourhood of Lake Atha-'
baska inthe west.
At present, labour and adegoate
• weans. of transportation • and storage
present unsurmountafible difficulties.
+Reaching the herds daring their winter
soj 71iru also presents peculiar diiiiculties
because there is no certainty that , they
will be found,, on their usual wintering
Rounds nor that they: will follow, their
usual route when travelling southward.
Should any method of making use of
such a ''natural meat supply be found
feasible, it would be necessary to put it
into effect under government adni inistra-
' tion, Naturally, the control which it is
possible 'to exercise under she North
west Gani e. Act would prevent any ex
ploitation of
this valuable natural re-
source by private interests. ,•
It is desirable to direct attention to
the fact that the Darren Ground caribou
have been seriously reduced in numbers
in. Alaska and. praCticall; exterminated
in certain regions„ such as the Arctic
coast of Alaska. The' result is that
dom-sticreindeer of Siberian origin are
now to some extent, taking their. place.
However, we have still in Northern.
Canada, immense: herds of -caribou to;
supply food and clothing to the . native
population. At the same time, it should
be realized' that the caribou ih Canadian
territory have been killed off to such an
extent in the Mackenzie Delta region
that, according to the statement of Dr.
R M.. Anderson, the •E ikimo there are
importing skins of domestic reindeer
from asks forclothing, a fact that in
dicatee ane difficul sof the problem of
utilizing, Caribou In augment the meat
supply of Canada.
