very curious and try TO take the
rifle apart to see how 1t IS made,
and then the rifles get out Of COM
mission. I left DR.. Cook fifteen
rifles and plenty of ammunition,
which he lent to the natives, with
four or FIVE cartridges each, and
when they went out shooting they
must bring in game for it, and
then the rifles were taken away
from them until they went out
agaiu.
There are plenty of musk oxen
up in Ellsmere Land, which DR..
Cook encountered on the dash TO
the pole. When the natives kill
these animnls they freeze them and
use every BIT of them and pile
them up for the dogs and the ma
tive. They make caches at differ
ent points in crossing the island.
Hunting musk oxen in E,lsmere
Land is not at all like hunting
them in the far north of Canada.
Away up there in Ellsmere they
are not nearly 50 active and are
more stupid. There is less sport
in shooting them, of course, bat
Dr. Cook was concerned only in
getting food.
The casual reader may have
formed the conclusion that We did
a lot OF unnecessary promiscuous
killing. On the contrary. we shot
nothing which we did not need.
There is nothing 70 be had for food
and for making clothing in the far
north but wild animals and fish.
The most successful men in that
parc Of the world are the best
hunters. These primitive people,
with all their low mentality, have
much better ideas Of game protec-
ton than the average American.
And it IS well, indeed, for their
whole existance depends upon the
fauna of that unacceptable region.
Needless 10 say, they are all good
hunters.-John r. Bradley in Rec

The Eskimos make breeches out
OF bearskin, and in the winter time
they must kill these bears for their
clothing. The dogs run your bears
up and then you shoot them. That
is one way Of doing il. Another
way is to go ont in a small boat
and get out on the ice and chase
