The number of sportsmen now seek
ing the game region along the line OF
the Is. & A. is far in excess of that OF
last year at this season, and this fact
leads George VI. .1oughton, general
passenger and ticket agent to believe
that there will be a big rush later tc
the section which the b. & A. has
opened up and which seems to Offer
unequalled opportunities to the sports
men. The company has not put on;
very much more advertising matter
this year than formerly, regarding the
game region, but the result which
seems apparent is believed to be due to
the large numbers of deer and moose
that were shot on the line of the road
last season. This year, if reports are
reliable and they doubtless are. there
are more deer and moose to attract the
hunter than have been known before
for many years, all of which will doubt
less prove good news to the sportSmer
who has been unfortunate in times past
but who proposes to try again.
