MOOSE ADVANCING
TOWARD THE ARCTIC
Big Animal Migrates as Far
North as Coronation Gulf,
Says Stefansson.
MOVE NEAR HUDSON BAY
BY PETER p. CARNEY.

While the advance Of civilization has
either extermsnated or greatly reduced
In numbers the moose OF the United
States. It seems to be the fact that IN
Canada and Alaska there are sections
where this animal 10 not only increas-
Ing In numbers but 10 also occupying
much larger range than formerly.
Even In the province Of New Bruns-
wick the moose within the memory Of
the present generation has occupied new
territory. II has also crossed the
Height OF Land In northern Quebec and
Ontario and moved down toward Hud-
son Bay and for the first time IN his
tory moose are found around Lake Mis-
tnssini. in the latitude south OF James
Bay
Stefansson brings the news OF the most
recent northern advance OF this animal
to the shores OF the Arctic at Coronation
Gulf. He talked with an old Indian
woman at Fort Norman. who told him
that when she was young no moose were
known east OF Bear Lake. During her
lifetime they have occupied this east
ern country ana moved on to Corona
ton Gulf.
The Eskimos were terrified when
they saw the FIRST moose on their hunt
ing grounds. but within the last few
them as an addition 70 the food supply.
Stefansson says that the moose are
generally increasing in, interior Alaska
There are less men In that country than
at the height of the mining excitement
and less killing. He says that at Fort
Yukon. where 10 men and 200 dogs win
tered. tho moose were very abundant and
few were killed.
The drift OF the moose into new eoun-
try 10 one of tho most interesting phe-
nomena Of animal life. This fact, taken
In connection with the Increase In por-
lions OF It's old range which have not
been correspondinEiy abandoned. is en-
couraging.
Reindeer OF Alaska have increased in
twenty years from 1000 to $4,000. Big
game responds quickly when given a
fair chance. Tho future of game Is
brighter to-day In many ways than II
has been In q long time.

How Buck Law Saves Human Life.
''Gov. Smith has before him." said

terday, "a bill which wipes out the buck
law, How the buck law saves human
life might interest Gov. Smith.
AT the time the buck law was first
agitated in New York." he continued, "a
Utica sportsman who was strong In the
censure Of a such a measure went hunt
ing with his son IN the Adirondacks.
They hunted for several days unsuo-
cessfully. and each night when they
came into camp the son explained to the
father that he had jumped deer but
did not fire because he was afraid he
might kill some farmers stock or an
other man.
Tho last day IN camp the father told
the son that they must get a deer and
advised him to shoot at anything that
moved which looked like the game they
were after.
There had been a light fall OF snow
during the night, and about noon the
father, who was hunting separately from
the son. saw convenient log upon
which to rest, and taking out his pocket
handkerchief proceeded to dust the
snow from the log. He whisked the
three times. and each time he did this
bullet whistled by him In close prox-
unity. ......
Then he realized that some one had
mistaken the handkerchief for q dser's
tail. and called out. to ind that II was
his son who had been shooting At
