I take the liberty of sending you a copy of an "interview"
by the _Montreal Witness_ upon my return in 1909, by which
you will see that I am in accord with your views, _i.e._,
unless the Government takes immediate steps to protect the
wild animals in the Province of Quebec, many of them will
become extinct....

I would suggest that the Commission of Conservation make a
close investigation of the _ways and means_ of the fur
traders along the north shore, and I believe that official,
unbiassed and independent investigation will expose a very
peculiar state of affairs in connection with the
mal-conservation of game.

Mr. Clive Phillips-Wolley, the well known authority on big-game sport,
writes from Koksilah, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada:

... of course I agree with your views: we have in this
Province been doing our best to put them in practice with
the most excellent results. Dr. W.T. Hornaday stirred us up,
and, though we did not put our sanctuaries exactly where he
suggested we took a hint from him and have been rewarded by
an extraordinary increase in big-horns, wapiti and other big
game. I, of course, have shot a great deal as a big game
hunter, but, thank God, I don't remember one wanton kill,
and I know I have not killed one per cent. of the beasts I
might have done. No one wants to....
