THE BUFFALO. Edmonton, June 1, 1907 To the Pupils of Z. P. S. Dear Friends :—Getting up before breakfast is not always the most genial thing in a person's existence but this morning I managed to do so for 1 bad been informed that a herd of real buffalo was to conte tleru the city. Not wishing to miss the famous buffalo stampede, of which I had so often read, led nae two rise earlier than usual and make my Way to the depot, 1 thot that institiition Haight be the one most likely:'to sttffe„sifr,,,ein the onslaught of i;he•hieon as -they miff look on it as the Main factor in destroying their.former glory, "The Kingdom of the Plains,” over which for so many centuries they held all but absolute control. But no wild stampede down Jas- per Avenue or First street was there to see. Oh ! No l the buffalo of today do not travel in ally such primitive fashion across the prair- ies, instead they travel in a special train of their own with servants and attendants to wait on therm. What a contrast to be sure'. Tomas 'all very well for their grandpas and grandmas when they wished to travel from the wilds of Montana to the Central Plains of Alberta to just get up and hike across country swim rivers, wallow thru sloughs or race in nand career over the dusty plains of the south, hut for them it couldnt be that of for they live in modern times and so their journey was planned beforehand. From the Flathead reservation on which they lived in Montana they took the Northern Pacific to the border, thence U. P. R. to Ed- monton and frons, here U N. R, to Lamont about 40 miles East where they will take up their new quart- ers in Elk Park which contains sixteen square miles and is sur- rounded by a fine modern wire fence about 10 feet high. Some of them did not appear to take kindly to this mode of travel and showed their resentment to being made fun of, one person More nervy 'than the rest of las endeavored to tickle the heels of an old bull and got off lucky in escaping the flying splinters from the side of the car, After that he stooa at a safe alietanee. There were 20 cars in all contain- ing about 200 buffalo, this is only the first contingent consisting of half the herd, the rest will come by another train. They are all fine looking speci- mens of their race and this is said to be tho largest herd of pure bred North American bison in captivity. In securing them the Canadian government is to be congratulated and commended for it is not every day that Jack Oanuck manages to steal a march on Uncle Stun, The press of the Republic severely cen- sures and criticises the Atueriean government for allowing suck a tine herd to cross the border, Presi- dent Roosevelt and other influent- ial citizens tried to prevent it but the purchase had already beef made. The herd was purchased front a wealthy Mexican rancher for something over $100,000. It is said that, in the earl;' clave when Montana was still wild, wealthy Chicago gentlemen user; to pay ago owner of the herd $100t to tura one of thein loose ; this one of course WAR generally- a patriarch and the would-be buffalo -hunter would shoot the animal and take back the hide, horns,and some of the steak as evidence of his prowess. in the sporting line. Naturally the steftk was tough but because it was buffalo -steak and Dost one dollars at pound. the aristocracy thot they were eating just about the right thing. To them it was a delicacy, to the Redman of half a century ago it was a necessity for without pem- mican his chances, of passing a comfortable winter in his wiawan smoking kinnikinnick, were small. About 200 miles to the Nort West of Edmnnton there still roams a herd of bison variously estimated at from three to fnur hundred head. This herd is said to be grow- ing smaller en account of the de- nredetinns of the wolves which: hill the calves and weak ones. Steps are now being taken to pre- serve this wild herd either by kil- ling off the wolves or taking the bison into captivity. The fine for shooting a buffalo is $500 so there is little danger of their extermina- tion by bunters and trappers. To think that so few of these noble animals are left is regretabie And what was the cause of their rapid disappearance? The white - man's greed and nothing else. The Redman eirnply killed to supply his own needs of food and clothing but the white man cams to make money and the 'buffaloes were slaughtered by the thousand, their hides taken, and their carcases left to rot, nn the Prairies. This in brief is the decline of theMonarohs of the Plains and unless care is taken the remaining few will soon disappear. Some of von rorty probably recall. Bryant where he says; Besides these streams the bison feeds no more, twice twenty leagues beyond the remotest smoke of hunter's came rneins the majestic brnte in herds that shake the earth with thundering step ; Yet, hero I find. his ancient foot prints stamped be- side the pool. 11ow we might abbreviate and say—Beside these streams the bison feeds no more, I only find his ancient Footprints stamped beside the pool. For such it is, R. F. Stelck. TETTER, CURED. • .A lady customer of ours had suffered with tetter for two or throe years. It got so bad on her hande that she could not attend to her household duties.
