BIG GAME STILL PLENTIFUL No Reason to Believe That the Moose Is Being Destroyed in the United States. . With tho great amount of wild ter ritory yet remaining In this country, with northern Maine and New Hamp shire, where the forests are dense nnd extensive, nnd tho great expanse of the West, where game Is still supposed to abound, It is u little surprising to learn that hunters in considerable numbers go every year to New Kruns wick. The big game season Is now on In that province, nnd moose, deer and caribou may be tnken. One reason why hunters go there la that for tho present the shooting of moose Is pro hibited In Mntne. The moose Is a mi gratory nntmal, und such a decrease In Its numbers as has been noticed in Maine does not necessarily lndlcato that the herds nre being destroyed. Cow moose nnd caribou may not bo tnken In New Brunswick, but the li cense provides tlint one bull moose, one bull caribou and two deer may be tnken. The hunting season was poor last year, as thero were long periods of wot and stormy weather, but military enlistments reduced the number of native hunters. Thero were :iC0 gnmc licenses tuken out last year by Americans from 23 states and 72 bird licenses wero tuken by residents of eight states. Safety First.
