Sessional papers of the Dominion of Canada 1914 . the last day and going on half rations for the preceding two or three,we managed to reach the shack and grub. The face of the mountain is impassable and the plain is very much broken up withsloughs, bog-holes and deep creeks. Three wolves tracks following a cow moose andcalf were seen on the big plain. Although we did not see very much evidence ofwolves, I have heard since I returned to the Fort that they are rather more numerousthan last year. We have been busy since we returned getting ready our winter outfit, and, as wewill have two dog-teams this winter, I expect we will be able to cover very much morecountry. McCallum has already made a trip to the shack on Salt -mountain and back,setting bait out for wolves. Our next trip, the first with dogs, will likoly be into the southern, or Peace River,country, which I think has been rather neglected. The hard frost has not arrived asyet and the muskegs and sloughs are not solid enough for travel. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. .- I.)l4^vi--lj
