Hints for Hunters

The Canadian Department of the
Interior. Ottawa, has recently pub
lished a small book entitled Hints
for Hunters which we believe fills
a long-felt want.
at turned off warm and our game
spoiled before we could get it home"
Many is the time that we have heard
gunners make this statement. and in
about nine cases out of ten the game
would not have spoiled had the own
ers of it been properly posted on how
to care for the meat after they had
obtained it.
It is unsportmanlike as we'll as
wasteful to let game spoil through
carelessness Every one condemns
the occasional vicious and deprayed
gunner who shoots. game merely to
satisfy his desire to kill and makes
no effort to retrive and use that which
falls to his gun. The man who let's
game spoil through carelessness is
little better. There are of course.
occasions when even with the best of
care qualification will set in before
game can be used. In such cases. re-
gret takes the place Of criticism.
The phamphlet printed by the Cana
dian Department of Interior for
which J. h. Harking, Commissioner of
Canadian National Parts, and Mr.
Hoyes Lloyd Supervision of Wild Life
Protection. are responsible deals
with the care of game that has been
killed and also contains precautions
to insure the health OF the hunter.
The introduction quotes THE Mast
err of Game" published in 1905 which
tells that in these times even mem
bcrs of the nobility took pride in
dressing their own game and pre-
serving il for human consumption
In a few words the reader learns how
to dress and care for both big game
and small under different climatic
conditions.
Old-timers will probably have little
or no use for this publication, but
each year sees new men in the field.

to follow in the footsteps of their
forefathers but men who have re
cognized the call late in life. To
such, this little book is of great

Department 0f Inland Fisheries and
Games Investigating Alleged Re-
ports Of Scarcity OF Grouse

Inquiry was made at the Depart
ment Of Inland Fisheries and Game to-
day as to what reports the office was
receiving in regard TO the alleged
scarcity Of partridge, and the report
ed parasite which Is supposed by
some to be preying upon our grouse.
The press representative was inform
ed by the chief clerk that the depart
ment had received some reports 10 the
effect that it was suspected in some
sections that parasite OF some kind
was causing the reported scarcity Of
partridge (rui1ed grOuse), and in con
lirmation of this report the depart
ment had sent requests 10 several Of
its representative TO secure speci-
mems Of birds alleged to have died or
TO be affected with the supposed para
site with d view of having same in
vestigated by the proper officials for
the purpose of dscertainiug the exact
cost and the reported scarcity Of these
valuable game birds in some sections.
Supplemcnting the above statement,
the chief clerk remarked that two
Boston gentlemen who had just left
the Office had Just informed her that
they were told just before leaving
Boston by sportsmen returning from
New Brunswick that partridge We're
reported to be dying by the thousands
in some sections there. so it would
appear that il the alleged condition
does prevail il is not in Maine alone.
As soon as the department receives
any definite information upon the
subject, the report will be made pub

BOLD ROBBERY
At So. A|NB0Y
Office of Lumber and Supply
Co. in FeltuS St. Entered
and Robbed

SOUTH AMBOY, March 15-Local
and county authorities today are in
vestigating another bold robi cry
which took place at the office of the
South Amboy Lumber and Supply
Company, on Feltus street, some
time last night or early this morning.
Cash to the extent of $120 and a
check for another large amount was
taken.
The robbery was reported early
this morning when an employe of
the lumber company discovered the
door of the safe. blown open and the
contents ransacked. The police were
Immediately notified, as were the
county authorities. Chief of Police
Thomas Gleason conducted the local
investigation, while County Detective
William Fitzpatrick searched the
property of the Office for finger
prints that would lead to clue in
running down the thieves.
According to the police the office
was entered through side window
which was pried loose by the burg
lars. The safe door was forced wide
open, and 1t was the crude job in
forcing the door that led the local
authorities to believe that the rob-
berry was committed by an mateur,
or someone whb knew the Icy of the
office surroundings. The rest of the
office property was not touched.
Sergeant David Quinlan Is assist
ing in the local investigation.
