CANADA TO KILL
1900 BUFFALOS
Slaughter Is Necessary to
Preserve PaSturage.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WAINWRIGHT, Alta, Dec. &c.
Two delicacies have been added to
Canadian New Year menus and the
mounted police will benefit from the
recent slaughter of 1900 buffalos
under government supervision in
Wainwright national park, where
the Canadian government main
tains the largest herd of buffalo in
the world.
Buffalo tail soup and buffalo
steaks will grace many table in
Canada on New Years day, be-
cause already the Canadian Ma
tional Railways have carried thirty
cars Of buffalo meat to various mar
kets throughout the Dominion.
The hides will be used mostly to
make coats and rugs for Canada's
famous relocated police force,
which still performs yeoman serv-
ice in the far stretches of the
northland-in many cases within
the Arctic circle.
Some heads will be sold by the
government to clubs, hotels and in
dividuals citizens as wall trophies.
The slaughter of the animals was
necessary, because there is only suf-
f1cient pasturage within the park
to feed about six thousand buf-
talos, and also in order to main
tain the quality of the stock.

wholly successful, "and could send

Il don't think the Mattason twins

Neither do I; but they think so.
Anyway, Grand wouldn't let you re-
member the time he and Resale

Multnomah for dinner, and he came
home and all but got out the grind

like that? No. The twins are out"
"Well?" said Ann, but she did not
say, Il told you So" as she picked
up the loaded tray to carry it
through the buffers pantry into the
dining room.

Soon the Gorobor had outstripped its fellows
and left them far behind. Presently, just
ahead of him. Tarzan saw the Horib who was
bearing Jana away. He saw too, that he would
overtake them. But so swiftly was his own
mount running that it seemed quite likely he
would be carried past Jana without being able
to accomplish anything toward her rescue. He
realized he must stop the Horib's mount and
there was but an instant to make a decision.

In that instant Tarzan raised his rife and

the Gorobor in the spine. A moment later its
hind legs collapsed and it rolled over on its
side, pitching Jana and the Horib to the
ground. simultaneously the ape-mans mount

Hundreds hocked to see the plane, including Policeman Chester Coombs. Coombs told Pfeiffer he could leave his plane at NorwallS airport, a few miles away and obligingly cleared n path through the crowd for a take-off. Pfeiffer pulled back the throttle and the plane roared away. But it could not gain sufficient momentum to clean a line of parked automobiles and it clipped the tops off three. The plane crashed to earth, shattering the wings and dam aging the fusilage seriously.
