Pigeon Builds Nest
Lays Egg On Ship
AT N. Y. Dock

NEW YORK, Sept. S0.-When
painters were. preparing the
Cunard liner Mauretania for her
departure they found a pigeons
nest containing a single egg built
in the curve of the gigantic
anchor. The nest had been built
and an egg laid since the ships
arrival week ago.
The nest. made of bits Of string
and wood and even tiny pieces Of
wire, was removed to a safer place,
but the pigeon, whose home it
was, would not approach it after
it had been disturbed. The bird
fled frantically about the anchor
but would not alight on the deck
where the nest had been placed.

ture. Between 1902 and 1910 six
animals were added by purchase,
! and in the latter year six of the
Banf herd were moved to the
/ then recently established Buffalo
Park at Wainwright as the nucleus
Of a herd there.
Owing to a shortage of winter
range in Yellowstone National Park
In the United States a number OF
shipments Of elk were made TO
Canadian parks in 1917 and again
in 1920. Sixty-three animals were
sent to Banff in the former year
In exchange for Rocky Mountain
goats and bighorn sheep, whicn
were sent to Washington. In 1920
206 elk were shipped to Rock
Mountains Park and ss to Jaspar
Park.
The growth Of the herds has
been remarkable and there are now
more than 5000 elk in the national
parks. When the Banff herd grew
too large for the enclosure It was
released in Rocky Mountains Park
and it Is now estimated that there
are about $50 animals roaming
over the 2,751 square miles in
this reserve
Reports from Jasper Park place
the number of elk there at about
1.50O and state that they are to
be found In nearly every valley,
having reoccupied their original
range. The herd in Buffalo Park
at Wainwright has grown to 44s,
and at Elk Island there are $50
animals.
Success In this work, euual TO
that attained in the national parks,
has been achieved in other parts
Of Canada where the elk have
been rigidly protected. Through
close seasons and the provision OF
sanctuary the elk are rapidly re-
turning. and this species will, In
the not distant future, again take
its place among the characteristics
big game animals OF the Dominion.

JOHN BROWN IF SUNRISE
 GOES 0N LAST TRAIL

Thru a general misunderstanding and consequent delay, news of the death on September P, of John (Bos- in) Brown, oldtimer of the Sunrise district, has just been received.
 MT. Brown was found dead iii bed, in his cabin, having apparently died the previous evening or early in the morning Tho about 68 years old he was still in fairly robust health and his death was entirely unexpected.
 He was among the vast army of gold seekers who rushed to Alaska in 1898 but unlike the majority remained with the country. For years past he has been placer mining on his property at Sunrise but last year disposed of his holdings to Frank Short and company.
 A substantial coffin was made by Frank Woodman, for the body of his old friend, and with at least 30 of the Ioldtimers present to pay their last respects and Superintendent Ingram of the B. of P. Roads, officiating, he was laid away to rest in the Sunrise cemetery on the evening of Septem- Der 23.
