ISHERMEN and hunters of this

Island look hook \v|th regrctto the

conditions which surrounded their

favorite pastimes in this Province twenty or thirty years ago. Er=n at a lessrcmoto period the pursuit of fish and game was to he followed wlthsatisfuction and resulting big bags. But unfortunately of late years there has been a sad diminishing of the inhabitants of our streams and forests

and the ery has become general for an lm- provement of the present condition of affairs. Anestecmed contributor, Robert Jenkins, has orrgsoveral occasions contri- buted to this Magazine, articles describing the game of the Island in the days when birds, beasts, and dsh were plentiful, and hislast contribution on 0ur_Golden Plover drew a startling comparison between the numbers of those birds which visited us years agc land their practical extinc- tion at the prcscnt day. So with other

game-the wood pigeon for instance whleh_ Walter Simpson, of Bay View, in an early, number of The Prince Edward Islaadi

Magazine described as filling certain trees? which they used as roasts near Cavendish: and where they were often nxthlesslyi slaughtered. ` Whatever may be responsible for the

almost complete disappearance of these two birds from our hunting grounds it ls_ certain that other speeies,whish otherwisei would today have been reasonably abund-' ant, have been diminished by the un- thinitlng, and in many eases deliberate, actions ofa species of hunter usually fic-_ signaled “game-hog" or "pot hunter" by true sportsmen. These, by practising such devices as shooting wood cock when they come to the springs in the evening, and by dynauiltlng and netting the trout lu the streams have done great harm. It

is to prevent a continuance of thcso practises and to repair thc injury already done that the P. E. Island Fish and Gam( Association has been formed. _ ‘ Referring to this "Rod ami Gun" tha

mouthpiece of Ganadif\nSpnrismen s_ny»»: -N

minion Fish and Game Protection Asso. eiations are working with the some ob~ _iects in view-the preservation and the

country. A few months ago Prince Ed~

ward Island swung_ into line 'with tbo_ other Provinces, and has now a Fish and Game Protection Association of its own.

The Constitution and bylaws which were _

together with a synopsis of the Fishery and Game Laws of the Island. l “The objects of the Association are six in number, andthe whole of them are to-

be commended. They are to protect as tar as possible the fish and game of the Prn- vlnce; to endeavourto replenish the forests and streams at present denuded by poach- ing; to aid the fishery and game officials in the discharge of their duties; to see that the laws are enforced and that the ward-i ons do their duties ; to secure such

Laws as shall be for the best interests of the Pmvince at large; and to encourage forestry.

"The whole Province is covered by

means of County Executive Committees consisting of two or more members, and a Vice-President is selected for each county. `

Every member is required to sign the rolibookby which action he promises to do his utmost to carry out the objects of the Association. It is explained that this includes his pledge of honor lo instantly report to tho Secretary of the Association every or any violation of the Fishery and Game Laws coming under his notice. All complaints, when properly prepared and backed up hy evidence, will be submitted to the proper aulhorltles, and if action is not taken it becomes the Presidents duty to o-ull the attention ni the hiinisier of Marine ami I~`l'sl|cries, or the Lieutenant- Governor in Council to the matter. Any member -found guilty of violating these laws will be at once expelled from the Association.

tributnr of thc experience of the fl

heroic old i-lighlandcr, I am tempted to

relixteiun incident which occurred duriugi the very early period of the Setilen|cn‘. oi' Cascumpeo.

My informant was an aged sailor who

had settled down withhis wife on a snug farm. Round him the neighliors often gathered to hear him relate his advent- urea.

This old sailor was a manipulator of the

“inineral rod" vvhieli al\\'nys_ accompanied him in his walks. V The writer has often seen traces made

by those who searched the Shores of Rich- mond Bay for Kidd`a Treasure. Of late years they have transferred their efforts from the shores of the Bay to the Islands on the north side of it.

Among those who used to meet at the

aged sailor's home, were two who seldom joined in the conversation, but who lost nothing of what was said. The talk often turned upon Capt. KIdd`s treasure, and certain localities were named where it

was supposed these treasures were hidden. These were visiied, at night by the two men mentioned, who at last discovered a

:and alelved that night and for many suc~

ceeding nights but with the usual success of treasure hunters-at any rate If any- thing ever was found nothing was heard of It.

Now, there may have been some reason

for the actions of the magic \\'and as what

follows might suggest. I

Some years previous to the treasure

hunta vessel had been driven ashore not

far away from the scene, an unusually large wave had carried her up on the shore. high and dry. She was stripped of all things valuable as soon as discovered by the settlers in that vicinity who were not very many in that day. There were many things of value besides much rich apparel aboard, all of which was |e~ moved. Atlast when everything worth taking had as they thought been carried away the settlers decided to burn the wreck to obtain the copper with which the bull was sheathed. This was done and'afterwards in scattering the ashes which remained many gold and silver coins were discovered scattered in the

spot which excited them with hopes of.
