The National Winter Game
Hockey the Most Popular of OutcJoor
Winter Sports in Canada
Hockey is Canada's groat national
winter sport Although many other
forms of outdoor recreation are en-
joyed duing the invigorating season
of ice and snow none of them has
attained the .position of popularity
among all classes that is held by
hockey. No other game riquitets so
much speed, accuracy, endurance,
strength, hardihood and quick -think-
ing hi the player, nor does any other
form of sport so fascinate and thrill
the spectator. This great winter
game holds among Canadians, both
young and old, i position similar in
many respects to that occupied by
the.summer pastime, baseball, among
the citizens of this continent. To
the .yonger enthusiaste the (neared
ice-surface,/whether it be on frozen
stram, river, lake or in a back -yard,
serves the same purpose for hockey
that the sand -lot does for the playing
of baseball, There the young kockey
player receives his grounding in the
game and there also is aroused the
ambition to one day compete in the
great amateur and profealionat ser-
ies which are conducted ..itah winter
throughoutthe Dominion.
In hockey, as in most other sports,
it is the rule that those who would
become especially proficient must
play the „game from childhood. The
small neighborhood Anita and the
rinks maintained by playground
Commissions in the varicaus citiesare
the proving grounds> for the future
"big league" stars. There the youth-
ful aspirant learns the principles of
the gaine and develops the sturdiness
of frame andco-ordination of.action
of foot, hand, and brain Which iti•e so
essential in the successful hockey
player. However, hi the clear ht.
vigorating air he . gains more than
outstanding skill in a form of recre-
ation: the foundations for good
health and Sound literal ammeter are
laid, initiatice is developed, as well
as a spirit of fair play and good
sportsmanship.
Six players equipped with skates;
and hockey sticks comprise a hockey
team. Each team consists of a gout,.
keener, two defence players, and
three forwards; and these playere
take up their positions facing their
opponentsThe rules 01 the genie
are very shnple and a new spectator'
requires only a short instruction to
be able to follow the play. Pini gen-
eral object is to place the puck in
-
the opposing team's -goal the greatest
number of tisnes during the period
of the game, which is in league
games sixty minutes.
The first game of ice lsockeit in
Canada of which there is any, official
record was played in Kiitgstant Ont,
in 1888. Whether- other wanes not
recorded were played 'about that time
is not clear but what is certain is•
that fronts that date hockey develop- .
ed rapidly in all parts of the Dom-
inion. So greatis the popular inter-
est in the gamo that:although flew
and larger- rinks are constantly. be-
ing erected, the demand is over for
more accorhodation for players and
spectators. The game is taking hold
in the northern United States and
gaining in popularity there as the
chief winter Sport ice hockey has
aleb obtained a definite foothold ill
the United Kingdom and in 'seveeel
of. the countries on the Ctotitinent,
Literally hundreds of kockeY keg,.
uee operate throughout the Dominion
timing the winter setteon, providing
sport and enjoyment for the mejer•
ity of the population. The senior
competitions are those for the Allan
Cup and. the• Stanley Cep. The Al-
lan Cup series is . among tit•e senior
ateatdur teams of Canada for a tro•• •

Hockey is played in every prov-
ince of the Dominion and is as much
the game of the people in the great
outlying farming districts and in the
centres of the lumber and power in-
dustries, as it is in the larger cities,.
101 recent/ years the installation of
artificial ice -making plants in the
rinks in the principal cities has
lengthened the hockey -playing season
by several weeks. Where artificial
, ice may be had, skating .ond hockey
are begun as early as the middle of
October and continue until late in
March. However among the great
majority of skating and hockey en-
thusiasts, and particularly among
those who must depend on natured
ice, the season does not get under
way until the early part of Decem-
m, and tha rnilcl woathar usually
encountered in mid-March rings
down the curtain on these recrea-
tional activities as it does on many
others.
FOREST RESERVES
—THEIR PURPOSE
Setting Aside of These Arens En.
ables Government to Carry Out
Principles of Forestry With
out Interruption
There are some popular miscon-
ceptions in the public mind nit to the
object of the creation of Dominion
Forest Reserves. The term "reserve"
is pertains responsible in some degree
for these misconceptions on the part •
of Fnany who do not have ceumeion
Lo inform themselves oie tlee intention
of Parliament in settine uside these
areas. For Instance, a coninme im-
pression that neat; areas consist al-
mosot entirely of mature stands of
,valuable timber which have been
withch•awn from disposal and are be-
ing held to supply a demand when
timber from other source's will have •
been used up. Those who hold this
view usually comceive of a forest re-
serve as being 'rigidly closed to the
public, and think that no basinessor
recreational pursuits of any .kind may
be carried on within its houndaiee.
Nowadays the term "forest' reserve"
is being replaced- by the term ".nat-
ionat forest", an expressions which `
more truly rtillects the fact that these
areas are dedicated by Parliament to
productive ese for the benefit of the
people of Canada. '
The following are the mild fee,
tors governing the setting aeide of
Government lands as.forest reserves:
(1) To ecure the protection,
maintenance, and eproduction un-
der scientific numagement of the tim-
ber growing on the land.
. (2) To devote to the growing of
timber, lands which are primarily
suited to that purpose and wnieh are
not suited to agriculture.
(8) To conserve the water supply
of a watershed and prevent the rap-
id run off, thus ensurifig the contin-
uity of stream bow. ' •
It will thus be seen that ..11 forest
reserve may eontain areas of mat-
ure timber, areas of young forest
growth, and sparsely wooded or even
treeleks totes.
The mature stands of thnber are
submitted to a eareful examination,
and the quantity determined which
can be removed without impairing
the timber reproduction of the area.

The more lightly wooded dietriete
usually produce an elhandant drowth
of forage plants, Where a demand
exists, the residents of land% in the
vicinity of the reserves are yellowed
to pasture stock on these areas un-
der certain regulations. The stock -
owners are thus helped by the graz-
ing facilities offered, and at the eame
time, the reserve is benefltted by the
removal of the forage growth which
when dry constitutes a serious 'Are
menace.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
main reason for the creation of for-
est reserves is to enable the princi-
ples of forestry to be carried out on
these areas without interruption over
a long period of years. In other
words, these areas may be looked
upon as large tree farms which are
to be managed in such a way that
they may be made to produce an
undiminishing supply of timber, the
output each year being governed by
the annual increment in growth; or

STUDYING CONDITIONS
IN NORTHERN CANADA
Investigators Return From Arctic
Coast --Situation of Natives and
Their Food Supply
Every Year sees an advance in the
development of Canada's -northland,
and brings into greater prominence
the importance of having in. that re-
gion a vigorous native population.
Canada's duty and interest coincide
in this regard, for if advancing civi-
lization were to deprive the na9V08
of their old .means of livelihood, the
Government as their guardian would
be expectedto provide them with
means of substinence, and on the
other hand, no permanent Advance

the "Barren Grounds," and the Pia-

eivil•ization into the north .therehave
been changes which have disturbed
the old balance and have inside a
'greater drain upon some forms of
wild life, both landiand .marine, than
upon others, The possession of high-
powered rifles and the use of some
items of the white man's food and
clothing are bringing' about hensitive
modes of life far-ittaching changes,
with their attendant dangers to the
health and self-reliance of the peo-
ple. The animal first affected by the
changed cdnditiotts was the musk-ox
and the hunting' and killing of this
animal is now prohibited throughout
eIl the north, The caribou has be-
come considerably reduced ir TOM -

inmortance to the natives, the cari-
bou migration mites have been so
changed as to cause them to be en-
tirely absent from largo districts
where, in season, they, were formerly
plentiful.

problems the Department of the In-

Major Burwash established his win-

in different directions by dog sled.
The natives in this district he found

here acted in a similar manner to
those farther west. .Formsrly the
herds in this area ranged from Kas-

to -day they do not leave the main-

bay, and thence travelled to Chester,

and in consequence the influx of

The presence of big 55010 itt close
proximity to the centrts of popula-
tion occurs in nearly all the smooth-
ces in Eastern Canada. In Noata,
Scotia and New Brunswivk there is
presented to the hunter a choice of
I territory that is easily accessible.
!However it is to the more remote dis-
tricts, which are usually reached by
!wagon road, trail or canoe route,
that the big game sportsman must
turn for moose, deer, bear, and wild-
cat. The provinces of Ontario and
Quevec include within their bound-
aries some of the finest hunting ter-
ritory in America. Although in some
clietriets,in Quebec the hunting rights
on certain tracts of land are leased
to organized hunting clubs, there is
still much public land where excel-
lent hunting may be had. Moose and
deer may be found in abundanee and
there is good caribou, bear, and wolf
hunting. In Ontario there is such a
large number of -excellent hunting
districts which are readily eccessible
that the hunter in snaking a choice
needs' only be governed by tha dis-
tance he wishes to travel and the
•kinds of game he peefees to hunt.
Doer may be had in forestet area' -
close to settled dietricts in southern
Ontario, and there is in addition the
famous big game region in thc vast
territory lying north and west of the
French river.
The forested areas of the peovin-
cos of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alherta are likewise visited by in
creasing n.umbers of hunters. Smal'
game abounds in the open Am:Celia
of these the- • erneinces. In the
more weeder' :..1•• :leathern sectim,,
there is an abundance of large: game
such as moose, deer, and caribon, axle
bear and wolf are also, mot • with.

The mountain areas of Alberti ona
of the province of British Caiunthie
present a striking contrait to the
other sections of the Dominien both
in kinds of game available anti th••
methods of hunting. Besides the
mountain goat, mountain sheep, eou-
gar and grizzly; moose, caribou, (Icor
and bear are found. The usual meth-
od of hunting involves the use of a
peek train. '
The wiedom and foresight of the
Governments, both Fedora ano Pro-
