WORK WITH CAMERA Explorers In Northwestern Canada Have Photographic Studies of j Wilderness Wild Life. After n three years' hunt with the j camorn In the hi most unknown Laird | river district in northwestern Canada, ; R A- Stewart and John Sonnlckson | have come hack to civilization by way j of Peace river. Alberta, bringing sev- ! eral thousand photographic studies of i the manners and customs of the wild i life of those remote woods and I streams. The explorers, for they well | deserve the nnnie, worked Into the ! wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope j and the forks of the Flndlay and Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Gra bame. Their negatives illustrate the habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beav er, Canadian wild geese and other an imals and birds that have seldom been observed with anything like thorough ness by means of the camera. The travelers had devices, of various sorts whereby their subjects were enticed to spots upon which the hidden lenses were focused; and upon teaching these spots nn ambushed camera man "snapped" them by twitching a long cord attached to the lens shutter. A single negative of some specially shy iBlfiiai whs often the only fruit of many hours of patient waiting. Some times for days the explorers Would witch a single spot through their field ?lasse3 nwnlting the favorable mo ment to "shoot." But it was all worth it. Gleaning the Stumps. The rapid decrease In the number of t?ll stumps which have been so fa miliar to the traveler through the coast hills of Oregon, Is regarded as an In dication of their approaching extinc tion. Hitherto some 20 feet of each rtump has been left standing, silent relics of former monarchs of the forest, loo thick for most saws to compass and too full of pitch to suit the saw mills. But now the need 'for timber is peater and men no longer climb high up on to boards thrust Into notches In the trunk to suit the saw and the saw mill. They have learned thrift and they cut low down lest good lumber be uselessly wasted. Only as a record of past wasteftilness are the tall stumps with their deep notches still ?Islble.
