One of the grandest sights in West- ern Canada is that afforded by the herd of four hundredbuffaloes which IVAIT1 through the natural wilds of Kik Island Park. The park is on the main line of the Canadian North- ern Railway east of EdmontOn, be- tween Old Fort Saskatchewan and La- mont. and cerdPrises sixteen square miles of island, lake and forest. In 1906, when the matter was first, considered of gathering together the various western animals, it WAS rea- lized that a national park should be established, 1VITI:,itILI o w ard Douglas, commissioner ciT theBanff Neetional Firk, Worked untiringly towards the establishingof a large national park suitable for Weatern Canada. Noth- ing was done, however, until the spring of 1907, when the Dominion Government took up the proposition of Mr. E. S. Simons of Fort Saskatche- wan., It was proposed that, if the Dom- inion Government would set aside Elk Island as a National Game Re- serv and fence the sixteen square nils within the park limits, that fie gentlemen would give bonds e Government for $5,000 as a gu entitle of their placing twenty live el within the park. The men were E. S. Simons, W. D. Leys and- Johnston' Carscaclden, of Fort Saskatchewan, Frank Walker and Barney Cooper of Edmonton. • The Government holds - the $5,000 bonds, and there is new believed to be •twerity-twO elk within the 'enclosure.

King Of Ottawa Knew the West In the EarlyeeDays. One of the real old:Jimere of the West -one of the men whose reminis- cences, when related, are as interest - in fiction or ore so is W F g as 2 m , IF • f King of Ottawa, who is commissioner for the survey of the boundary line from the Pacific to the Great Lakes and from the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic. This survey is taking place under the treaty entered into last somber for the resurvey of the line and for the better marking of it: The old line is generally adhered to but additional monuments have to be sometimes erected as in theold sur- vey the posts *were placed too far apart. Mr. Kinn is also commissioner for the survey of the Alaska boundary from the Portland Canal to the Arc- tic Ocean, This work has been gfi- ing on for a couple of years, and is of a most interesting character, as the southern pert of the line runs over mountains and glaciers, makiug the work of a very difficult character. , Mr, King went to the West as early as 1872, or two years before Col. Walker loomed on the Calgary hori- zon. In 1872 he held a subordinate position on the international bound- ary survey. from the Lake of the Woods to the Rockies, the work bi- ing completed in 1874. "At that time," said Mr. King to re Calgary newspaper interviewer, "but-, 18.10 roamed the plains in their then - sands, making a very striking picture to one seeing' them for the first time. "Of course," said Mr. King, "there was very little of what is now the, present city of Calgary. The first time I came here was in 1880, There *ere a few Mounted Police, the old Hudson Bay fort, and the Store of I. G. Baker Si Co„ but very little else. Theyy re .all located, if 1 remember rigt east of the Elba*, the town on the other side not building up until the advent of the railway. • : "I remember," Mr. King went on, "the delightful time I used to have When we were camping on the Minks of the 1:10W At that time. Sometimes, when I got' tired of making ,observa- tions; I would throw ' a lint into the river. Many a trout -n foot long did I. pall out, making :aver y agree- able addition to our 'malls oe bacons__ and beans." .' • . • After' loe.80, Mr. King was engaged in astronomical work on the prairies . up -to the North Saskatchewan, and he -was also inspector of survey at the time of the Construction of the O.P.R.

This has produced quite a 'number of shady dealers who do not hesitate to palm off as genuine inany "faked" antiques, as a result of which the Washington Board of Manufacturer's has issued a warning. A curio dealer the other day gave some interesting facts about "faked" articles which are !sold as genuine, , You would be surprised,;` he said, what large quantities . of • worthless furniture are sold at " fancy prices which is really not worth a few shil- lings. Furniture seems %to emu the favorite article of deception. it is a eornmon thing for a piece' of "an- tique" furniture to be made and then deliberately broken • and repaired. 't The buyer „comes along and is told that were it not for the breakage it would be worth $250, as it is, the dealer Must let it go for $75 -and the thing is net worth $4. The manufac- ture of "antique" furniture has been reduced to such a fine art by un- scrupulous dealers that they have been known to imitate worm-eaten chairs by firing shot with a phot -gun at the articles they have just made. Attother dodge is to get a genuine piece of antique furniture and make replicas: When the suite' is bought it is the genuine article that is ex- amined. •The other day, when look- ing over a bollection, I was shown a -- pair of alleged real Chelsea vases ' which bore a gold anchor. mark. I wile asked how much they were worth, and I replied, "If they were genuine I VOID d be glad to .give $1,000 for them, but they are not worth $50." "There's the mark -what do you make of that?" asked the owner. • "What is, More simple than forging the mark, when the whale thing ite selfeeis_forged?" was raY reply.
