FUR TRAPPERS
START SEASON
Hudson Bay Men Leave for
Lonely Posts in the
North Woods.

Edmonton. Alberta, Sept. MANY
trappers who have spent a few idle
months in Edmonton have departed
for the north country and are now
in the woods preparing for the
opening of the trapping season in
November.
Since trap lines are from IS to 200
miles long. trapper must have
several cabins. sometimes as many
as six or eight. He builds these
cabins Of logs and stuffs the chinks
up with a plaster of moss and mud.
working up and down his trap lines
in the season when fur is ripe
he sleeps in the domiCile nearest
when night comes. Summer is the
time when he carries in his pro-
visions and distributes them among
his cabins He usually freiEhts in
his supplies by pack horse and re-
turns the horses to fur post or set
tlement.
He buys his supplies at a Hudson
Bay fur.post. either paying cash or
taking the goods on credit and pay
ing for them when he brings back
his winters catch OF furs. Though
the Hudson Bay Company is closing
out all its remaining lands to farm
settlers. il still maintains 1856 fur
posts throughout Canada. In the
wilderness country about all these
posts trappers are now busy pre-
pairing for their winters campaign.

There is some fitness, to be sure,
IN gauging many OF the patrons of

much pity upon cheated profiteers.

To watch the Industry OF Belgium
Is itself a very wonderful reward

OF dollars. There are no idlers here

many OF those spendthrift profiteers

was in other days. There Is no
limit to the money one may spend
here, If one has the price"
But directly one sets foot in the
near suburbs, or reaches the first
country nelds, one sees on every
side the causes of the amazing and
deserved prosperity of this hard
headed people. The peasants are at
work in all the fields, hoeing and

the signs of patient, dogged, silent

lighted the big pile OF leaves and
brush in which the corn was to be
roasted and the potatoes baked.
Jackie and PCctie Bow. Wow. with
their sharp teeth, helped Toodle and
Noodle Flat Tail, the beaver boys,
gnaw out sharp sticks on which the
hot corn and potatoes could be
stuck.

wobble, the ducks, heIpcd/ sweep
clean some broad, fiat stumps to be
used as tables. The fire roared and
cracked, and finally died down to
some hot embers.
Now put in the corn and pota-
toes" said Nurse Jane. who knew all
about cooking, and such like.
The cars of corn. wrapped in the
husks, were placed on hot stones
near the hot Goals, and the potatoes,
in their sEins, were buried in the
warm embers. Then Uncle Wiggily
and his friends sat about the harvest
supper fire and sang songs and told
stories.
Unrle Wiggiiy just finished telling
little Bedtime Story about Johnnie
Bushytail the squirrel, when Nurse
Jane said:
Now the corn and potatoes are
done. Take them out of the fire,
Wiggy"
On sharp sticks Uncle WIggiIy
took the ears of corn and the baked
potatoes from the embers, passing
the good things around among his
friends. They used other sharp
sticks to hold the things, so they
wouldn't burn their paws, claws or
wings, whatever they happened to
have. Nurse Jane passed the salt
and butter, and she had a nice choc-
olate strawberry long cake to cut up
| later.
All of a sudden, just as everyone
was eating and having a lovely
time. some voices cried:
Come on now! This time Wen
get him! He's got a baked potato
in one paw and an ear of corn in
the other, and We'll get his souse
sure" And with that. up out of the
darkness rushed the Pip and Skee
They were just going to nibble
Uncle Wiggily's souse, when. all of
, sudden, from the fire sounded
. some loud noises: "Pop. Pop. Bang!

all over.
''Oh, somebody is shooting at us!
Come on! Run" cried the Pip, and
he and the Skee skipped away with
out any souse. Away they ran, the
noises going: Pop! Pop
Who shot the guns" asked
| Nurse Jane, as the noises ended.
Nobody" answered Uncle Wiggi-
ly. II guess by mistake l must
have put some pop corn in with the
roasting ears. 1t began to pop just
at the right time and the popping
corn, like guns, scared the bad
chaps away. I'm glad it did, for my
souse is safe once more"
And so 1t was, ana the corn roast
went merrily on until II was time to
cut the chocolate strawberry long

sticking out his red tongue.
Il might do that" said the bunny.
I'll, speak to Nurse Jane about it.
She's the one to get up good things
to eat. Glad you mentioned it.
Jackie, and you'll be one of the first
invited"
Thank you" barked. the little
puppy dog boy.
"A corn roasting party sounds
very nice" spoke Uncle wiggily, as
he hoped back to his hollow stump
bungalow.
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat
lady housekeeper, thought the idea
was just dandy one.
Well invite all our friends" she
said, and you can build a fire in the
field, just as Jackie spoke of, and
We'll get some roasting ears of corn
and 1t will be lovely"
TN go back to the field and get
the corn" offered Uncle wiggily.
Get nice roasting ears and also
some potatoes that may be baked"
called Nurse Jane after him. The
bunny said he would, and he came
back with a big basket filled with
good things from his farm.
