IN BARREN LANDS - Slaughter Reserved to Indians and Eskimos Since ' 1 917 is '_ P Now;Ba.m- ed. Half a century ago large herds of musk-ox roamed in Canada's northern teriltoriesv, Even as late .as twenty- five years ago good-sized herds were to be found in many localities in the Bar- ren lands which extend from Qi•eat Sla'eLake to Hudson Bay and from timber line to the Arctic, Ocean. In the last few \'years, notwithstanding protective' measures, the animals have become much reduced in number and in :several localities Have disappeared altogether writes "Natural Re- sources," ' The Dominion government; through its" Department df the Interior, keep- ing in mind' the 'successful effort to save the buffalo, has steadily striven to give the musk-ox such protection that it might remain a permanent as- set of the country. It is far ashore than an<intereSting 'zoological specimen; it possesses dualities whiciii may,make it of great social and economic value to the Dominion. More Stringent Laws. For a good many years the' Depart- meat of the Interior has been steadily strengthening the. laws and regula- tions to protect wild animals, In 1917 the Northwest game act was passed, and by one of its clauses no. persons except Indians, Eskimos,., and half-breeds were allowed to kill the musk-ox, and killing by those "people was permitted only when they were in actual need of food. No person was permitted` to trade in the pelt dor any other part of the musk-ox. In 1919 there was appointed a royal commission on the reindeer and musk-ox to investi- gate the poseibilities of establishing musk-ox and reindeer industries in the arctic and sub -arctic regions. The commission gathered ' much valuable information, some of which has been embodied in regulations. The commissioner' of the northwest. territories, as :empowered by the 1923 amendments to the game act, issued, not long, ago, g a regulation prohibiting. the use of dogs in the hunting and , tak- ing of game 2nuuals"inthe northwest territories. Theiasis ' s g Cance of this regulation will be more' readily seen by those conversant Y 9 withthe habifs of the musk-ox, It is a primal instinct of the animal to fee from man, but:-tq stand and form a circle when attacked by wolves or dogs. Native hunters have taken advantage of this fact to send on their dogs first, and since they have -acquired modern r firea.rms they have been able to kill the musk-ox in much greater numbers. Closed Season Year Round. Reports of the continued.wanton and unnecessary "slaughter of the musk-ox by natives, rumors of which were cor- roborated by missionaries, and others, necessitated the '.paseing of an order in council Decently prohibiting any per•son ,from hunting or killing .musk ox at anytime, The, order also pro- hibits any person' from trafficking in theanimals. To ascertain whether a special musk- ox patrol wouldbe advisable to reach districts not now covered by the' Royal Canadian Mounted -Police, a,special in- vestigator has been 'appointed. '- This oMeer, wife speaks the language of the natives, will, while 'pursuing his investigations, disseminate propagan- da ropaganda on the necessity for the conserve - tion, of the musk-ox and other wild creatures.
