Last Resort of the Wild.


AS to hunting and fishing, these
Hudson Bay railroads will open up
the chief game resort of the world.
The fur wealth is SO great that the
Eskimos bring in several hundred
skins of musk oXeu every season In,
addition TO bales of polar bear skins,
caribou, wolves and foxes. Some OF
the finest furs of the world may be
seen stacked up like hay on the shcre
of Hudson Bay, awaiting transporta'
ton to the trading posts. In one To-
cality about the bay the EsAmos
trapped in one year more than thou
sand white foxes. besides wolves,
wolverines and other animals.
At present most of the hunting Is
being done by Eskinlos. and Indians,
who make IL life business. These
Esllimos are much like our natives OF
Alaska. The men average about five
feet three inches high and the women
less than five feet They have black
eyes ard hair. and tnelf haif Is
straight and as coarse as horse hair.
They have fat rcses, high cheek
bones and eyes which are Chinese
In shape. The teeth of the older wo-
men are worn almost to the gums
from caewing scalskin, in order TO
make 1t soft and more easily sewn.
-.
These people live in snow houses
during the winter and in sealskin
tents in the summer. They subsist
largely on seal meat or whale blubber
AID their fires are oil lamps. They
have but few domestic animals eX-
cept dogs; although IL is said that
here and there Il moose has been
harnessed up and made to work.
