ONE HERD OF 1000 HEAD
HAS BEEN SEEN,
Range of Wald Buffalo Lies in
. North Alberta and Southern
Part of Mackenzie District.
leer years Indians in the northern
regions of Canada have declared that
at least one sherd of wild buffalo was
thriving in the district of Mackenzie.
White nomads coming casually into
contact with civilization told similar
stories. Sometimes details were add-
ed.
The white linen usually contended
that the animals were not true buf-
falo, but a species to which they gave
the name of wood -buffalo. Generally,
however, their information as to the
numbers and condition of the animals,
and the particular territory in which
they ,roamed was nebu:ous.
The settled communities on the
fringe of the lonely lands placed lit-
tle credence in the tales. Civilized
Canada indeed was convinced that the
herd of wild buffalo in the north was
a myth—a variation of Indian legends
that had grown with the passing years
since the last of the vast herd of buf-
Palo that once thrived on the prairie
lands had disappeared.
The myth has 'been dissolved. A
real herd of wild buffalo has been dis-
_covered, numbered with as much ex-
actness as possible, their condition
and habits noted, and the extent of
their range approximately measured.
F. 13. Kitto, of the natural resources
intelligence branch of the Depart-
ment of the Interior of Canada, spent
the greater part of last summer in ac-
quiring this information in the huf-
falo territory. He was fortunate
enough to be able to secure .several
snapshots of the bitffaio,though most
of his attempts to secure close up pic-
tures were frustrated by the rapidity
with which the animals fled whenever
Mr. Kitto or any of the guides got
_-within reasonable distance of them.
Continue Search Next Summer:
Mr. Kitto, who is no stranger to the
north country, having done .a
Seal of exploring and surveying there,
devoted his whole attention to the ef-
fort to verify or disprove the wild
buffalo story. . Having. obtained Ris-
ible • proof 51 the existence of one.
herd, he began the search for another
which the Indians declared was in
existence still further north. He was
compelled to abandon this search by
the approach of winter, but hopes to
be able to resume it early next sum-

cording to att. Iiitto's

port, centres in about latitude 60 de-

God planted in the small boy a hor-
ror of all that is dull and 'slow and
conventional. He made him a crea-
ture of restless energy, with an in
geisitivo, eager mind, a sensitive little
heart, and a romantic imagination.
Don't oppose God's plan! Work with
it -=-discover it -guide it! That is the
Wolf Cub idea.
In 1914, in response to continual de-
mands from boys under 12 years of
age for admission to Boy Scout troops,
Sir Robert Baden-Powell answered
with the plans for the organization of
the Wolf Cubs. And in doing so the
Great Father of Scouting also met the
need for scheme of recreational edu-
cation that would teach :.he small boy
those first lessons in loyalty to the
right, self-control, respect for authori-
ty and kindness to others, that are the
foundation of good -citizenship.
The programme of the Wolf Cubs,.
paralleling the plan of Scouting for
older' boys, has been built up about
the natural activities.and impulses of
the. boy of eight to twelve years of
age. The small boy likes to play at

this is the theory of the Wolf Cubs. 1
Wolf Cub organizations and packs
may be formed in a manner similar
to the way in which Boy Scout troops
are formed. Instead of t. Scoutmaster
there is a Cubmaster, who may be
either a man or a woman, and instead
of a Troop Committee there is a Pack
