it is not a mere bluff on the part of the people living on
the coast. So far there has been nothing but talk, and
nothing official; no arrest made, etc., so one can hardly
blame them for the position they take, especially as they
have been doing the same thing for many years.

The notice should be very clear and penalties set forth
plainly.

Mr. W.T. Lindsay, M.E., who has travelled thousands of miles through
Labrador, writes:

I have spent two summers in the north eastern wilderness of
Quebec and can fully appreciate your suggestions.

I take the liberty of sending you a copy of an "interview"
by the _Montreal Witness_ upon my return in 1909, by which
you will see that I am in accord with your views, _i.e._,
unless the Government takes immediate steps to protect the
wild animals in the Province of Quebec, many of them will
become extinct....

I would suggest that the Commission of Conservation make a
close investigation of the _ways and means_ of the fur
traders along the north shore, and I believe that official,

mal-conservation of game.

Mr. Clive Phillips-Wolley, the well known authority on big-game sport,
writes from Koksilah, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada:

... of course I agree with your views: we have in this
Province been doing our best to put them in practice with
the most excellent results. Dr. W.T. Hornaday stirred us up,
and, though we did not put our sanctuaries exactly where he
suggested we took a hint from him and have been rewarded by
an extraordinary increase in big-horns, wapiti and other big
game. I, of course, have shot a great deal as a big game
hunter, but, thank God, I don't remember one wanton kill,
and I know I have not killed one per cent. of the beasts I
might have done. No one wants to....

The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, ex-President of the United States,
writes:

I desire to extend my most earnest good wishes and
congratulations to the Commission of Conservation of Canada.
Your address on the need of animal sanctuaries in Labrador
must appeal, it seems to me, to every civilized man. The
great naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, in his book, "The
World of Life," recently published, says that all who
