TRAPPER TELLS OF
INDIAN SUFFERING
SAYS RED MEN ARE STARVING
BECAUSE FURRY ANIMALS
ARE SCARCE.

NEW WESTMINSTER, b. c.. May
11.-That this year marks the first OF
series OF seven lean years in the fur
trapping industry is the belief OF Colin
Fraser and number OF other trap
pers who have recently returned
from a prolonged hunting trip in the
northern wilds. Fraser mas been trap
ping for more than 20 years. and de-
clares that during all that time he
has never known so poor season as
the one just past.
Judging from experience. he ex'
poets to see the next six seasons very
poor from q fur trapper's and trad
ers' point OF view. His catch this
year amounted TO $50 marten and
three silver fox skins, while last year
silver foxes. He realized near
ly $4,000 on the furs brought down
this trip.
| The Indians around Fort Chippewan
are said by Fraser TO be starving, ow
| ing 10 the scarcity Of furry animals
which mean both food AND clothing to
the aborigines. Muskrats are the only
creatures plentiful In that district
and as their skins have no longer any
commercial value. their presence In
no way relieves the gloomy prospect
OF starvation which confronts the In
dams.
East OF Lake Athabasca and at FOND
! du Lac deer are plentiful. and the ma
tives at that point will have food fol
long time to come. The same con
ditions prevail at Fort Smith.
