about, hut now that the war Is end

Sary." Old-time packers and. guides,
the old Hudson's bay posts, Indian dogs
and bury grounds. the towering Rocher
DesbouIes, ancient totem poles, and the
flashing fish leaping high in the air
above the mad whirl of waters-all
these are at AwilIgate. All fishermen
will sympathize as they read of the
'.Iarge fish that we could see quite
plainly as they swan toward the edge
of the pool" alas for the big ones

camels Hard HIT s. war.

According TO the report of the vet
Urinary section Of The war department
of Great Britain, the loss of animals
in the war was much lower in proper
ton than the loss of men, amounting
to less than IS per cent. This is the
lowest percentage Of any war inswhich
England every took part. The total
number Of animals lost by the English
during the war was ISAIAH. including
$3.50 that were drowned or died at
sea. England's greatest loss was in
cnmels, 22,S12 Of which were killed,
This is accounted for by the fact that
the eamels were always used N the
most dangerous positions aud subject
ed TO the greatest hardships. OF the
