To add to hisf predicament, he encountered one of ( the worst storms of the season. was, without matches 01' food, and at night, wolves prowled about him as he lay? under logs seeking shelter, though‘ they did not attack him. He believed Iteadfastly in his compass, and eventually. in a fainting condition, someflmes crawling on his bleeding hands and knees, he made his way to Island Lake, ten miles below his start- ing point, where he was found and given food and shelter by Mr. and Mm William Calvert, who happened to be in their summer camp on a hunting expedition: The country through which he travelled is probably the wildest por- tion of the district near the city, and contains many lakes, swamps and muskegs, besides mountainous hiils. He entered the bush on Monday morn- ing and was found Wednesday noon and brought to the Sault. His feet and hands were badly swollen from the severe frost and all parts of his body wracked by the privations he endured. Arrangements had been made to send one of the Ontario Forestry aeroplanes and members of the Pro- vincial Police staff in search of the lost man, but word reached here that he was recovered just in time to head of? the rescue parties. TRAPPER IS KILLED BY INFURIATED BEAR Body of Finn Found in Bush Near English River Badly Mangled. Fort William, Nov. 16.-â€"~The man- gled body of A. Waino, a Finnish trapper, found yesterday by woodsmen in the forests near Engiish River, 100 miles west of Fort William, bore traces of a desperate hand-toâ€"hand battle with an infuriated bear. The body was found lying in a heap under some trees. Every portion of the body was gushed and ripped while in one of Waino’s hands was a blood- spattered axe, and in the other were tufts of black hair torn from the hide of a bear. It is supposed Waino, who was carrying a rifle and hand-axe, met the bear and fired a shot, wounding the animal, which, infuriated, closed with him, and in the ensuing battle inflicted terrible and fatal injuries. Waino formerly resided here. and had been married only six months. Coroner Boyd left Fort Wiiiian to- day to bring the body in. day t Dominion News in Brief The breeding Ulllulu- , Winnipeg, Mamâ€"Farmers of Wes- tern Canada are now giving increased attention to the improvement of their Ihome surroundings.

A committee of allied‘ experts is now in Paris trying to‘ achieve an agreement regérding the priority rights of their respective countries. It has been discovered that ‘of this year’s annuity which Germany is required to pay under the Dawes Plan about £2,000,000 will be absorb- ed by treaty charges other than actual reparations, leaving only £30,000,000 for the latter. Of this Britain’s share is nominally 22 per cent, and Can- ada's five per cent. Here, however, the vexed question of priority enters, notably the Belgian priority. Canada does not begin to be interested untii Britain attains her 22 per cent. alâ€" though she has already received pay- ment of the cost of her army of occu- pation in the Rhineiand. A point which is exercising: Can- adian authorities is whether the Do- minion is to get her share before or after expenses in connection with the (‘nllrction of reparations are deiucted. She has asked that she receive her percentage before there is our d3â€" Swiss Travels Around the World on a Bicycle M.

A despatch from Macleod, Alta“: says:â€"â€"Macleod, famed as a trading‘ post of the early days, and coupled with the pioneer activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, is the scene of an unique conventionâ€"a con- ference of Indian chiefs representing the Blackfeet tribe of the North Am- erican continent. Delegates are pres- ent from reserves in the United States and Canada, discussing problems and grievances. Many belonging to the newer generation are educated, and well versed in presentâ€"day conditions, while there are also “veteran” chiefs in attendance, some of whom attended the signing of the Blackfret treaty in 1877.

This promise, they asserted, had not been lived up to; they had suffered a reduction of $7, and they_urged the carrying out of the treaty as signed in 1877. A resolution, presented by Joe Calf, chief of the Blackfeet, “that only one form of marriage amongst Indians be recognized and made law as included in the Indian Act, as asked for and recognized by the Christian Churches and Government,” was defeated after a short discussion.
