tutes in the fur line than during the coming
seasons.
The worlds prosperity and its rapid in
crease in population are, Of course, the chief
causes of the extinction Of fur. AS recently
as ten years ago the people of the United
States were not counted among the great
buyers of fur. Now the majority of women
among ninety million people are purchasers
of fur Of one kind or another. Five years
ago London was the worlds greatest fur CEN
ter, with Paris a close second. To-day, so
enormous has tie demand for fur become in
this country as well as across the sea, that
there are over 5000 establishments for the
treatment of fine furs and the making of fur
garments in New York City alone.
London and Paris have now taken second
and. third places in the actual making of fur
garments, though London handles more raw
fur than the other two combined. Last year
the value of New York's finished" output was
nearly $40, 900, 900, and fully sixty per cent.
of this was represented by the furs which a
few years ago were considered almost worth
less.
Three years will clean out the cheaper
class of fur" said a Montreal buyer to me,
"and then the real famine will be at hand"
This passing Of the old romance of fur is
marked not only by the pathos Of the furred
things themselves, but by that of the wild
and picturesque life of those thousands Of
wilderness people whose centuriesold voca-
ton must go with the things which gave 1t
birth. There is some comfort for the lover
of the wild and what it holds in the thought
that at least in a great part of the far Cana
dian wilderness the picturesque fur-hunter
will never, like the courier du bois, quite die
out. In a country one-third as large as the
whole Of Europe railroads and civilization will
never go. This vast wilderness region, long
described as a waste" stretches from the
coast Of Labrador, through Ungava, skirts
Hudson's Bay and swings north and west to
Mackenzie Land and the polar seas.
1t is a land where for six month"; out Of the
year mans life is a bitter fight against deep
SHOWS and fierce blizzards-against hardships
of all kinds, starvation, and a cold that
reaches sixty degrees below zero and which
rs SO "dry" that one may freeze almost to the
point of death without being aware Of espe-
cial discomfort or pain. 1t is, as Lord Strath-
coma says, "the last great trapping ground"
Out of this trapping ground there has come

ton of the fur situation as it exists today,
and after a long acquaintance with the great
fur companies, buyers, and trappers. But a
few facts are necessary to show at what ruth
less pace the slaughter of fur animals has
gone on during the past decade. 1t was not
long ago that 100, 900 skins of the sea otter
were taken from the Aleutian Islands each
year. Today there are less than 400 skins Ia
ken annually. Ten years ago sea otter was
a popular fur; today 1t is worn only by the
royal blood of Europe, Twenty years ago 1t
was estimated that seal herds of the Pry-
biloffs numbered over five millions. Today,
in spite Of international treaties for their
protection, there are not more than 100000
seals on the island! About 10000 skins
were taken last year, and so relentless was
the slaughter on account of the ~princely sums
offered for the fur that 10, 900 baby seals died
during the season, chiefly of starvation be-
cause of the death of their mothers.
The glossy little wood marten is dying out.
Four years ago I met two Canadian trappers
who were coming down from the upper New
Ontario game regions with 300 marten, worth
then from four to five dollars a skin. Today
they are worth twenty-five dollars, and a half
a dosen are a big catch" for any one man in
a single season. Five years ago 1,76O,000
foxes we're killed to supply the worlds mar
ket. Three years ago the number had fallen
to 1900 600. Last year less than a million
we're caught. From two dollars a skin the
red fox jumped to twelve; the cross" fox
from twenty-five to as high as a hundred, sill
yer and black fox to prices that made their
skins ten times the value Of their weight in
gold!
The silver and black are now so rare that
they are IBID" for only by dukes and
duchesses, the rulers and the heirs of king
doms and empires. Seldom does one sell In
the London or Paris markets for less than
from $500 to $1,000. A year ago one pelt sold
for $4,000. In this same way are going the
black sable and the little white ermine whose
pelt has been worn In the robes OF royalty
for more than seven centuries. 1t was not
long ago that 100, 900 skins Of the black sable
found their way into the market each year.
Last year this number had dwindled to fifteen
thousand!
The "signs of the change are now at hand
in another way. and as a consequence never
in history will the women Of the world be
up against" a greater assortment Of substi-

OF the dufingers Of his interior that
were knocked loose last Wednesday
afternoon at the North Side school

and on several occasions we had
struck out for Munson township as
fast as we could go when we saw them
coming our way. We are not up" on
football, however, and know nothing of
how the players are stationed, and we
supposed that all OF them were in the
bunch that We were watching at the
west end of the field. Finally one OF
the bunch secured the ball and kicked

going TO land at just about the spot
where we were standing and at once

At least that's what some of them told

was either an earthquake or the school

had a stable bunch that something
had happened. but for the nOnce-
whatever that is-We were not exactly
sure what 1t was We have had plenty
Of evidence during the past week that
something really did happen. but if the

be as good as new again one of these
days and back in the Office. Here
