not be many weeks before hunters get into the
mountains and begin season OF sport that cannot

fully explored.
For the hunter who wants big game without run
ming chances of great hardship in UNEMPLOYED
country, the valley Of the Yoho viii fill all de-
mands. 1t is Of the most beautiful valleys yet
discovered in the Canadian mountain district, and
there is game in abundance. Mountain goat and
bears plentiful the former being found in bands

edges Of the great Wappetuk Glacier. The YOho
can only be reached by crossing a lofty divide,

Returning from hunt in the Yoho region, the
hunter may take what IS known as the upper
trail, built two years ago by the Canadian Pacific
company. 1t passes over the flank Of the Emerald
Range, in some places two thousand feet above
the body Of the Kicking Horse. Experienced hunters
will be able TO bag Little Chief hare and marmot

experts at finding hiding places on the hunters

THE EUROPEAN BISON.
First Specimen EUer Brought to
America Noe Here.

Two great beasts have Just been added to the
collection Of animals IN the New-York geological
Park which are as interesting they rare.
They are the European bison, or surochs. The
latter name was given originally to another hoofed
animal, but usage has changed its adjudication.
Never before has living specimen OF these grand
beasts been brought 10 America
Even within the historic period ths5e so-called
Rurochs roauned over the whole Of Europe, Just as
the American bison formerly peopled our Western
plains. When Charlemagne held sway this
accounted a worthy beast OF the chase IN all parts
OF Germany, but mans power and increase have
nut an end 70 all such conditions. Now but q small
remnant are left alive. guarded by soldiers OF the
Car OF Russia and other potentates.
A good sized aurochs stands over six feet high at
the shoulder and has much the same appearing
hump and shaggy name as its American cousin.
The two specimens at the Geological Park ap-
near thin and weak after their long and trying
Journey, but they viii soon become sleek and full
