48 Paciric GREAT EASTERN Rartuway BE t.

transportation line in America that can offer such a changing panorama or
a more impressive picture of sheer beauty than is gained from a car window
of a Pacific Great Eastern passenger-train. But if it enthuses the traveller
and the globe-trotting tourist it holds its lure for the sportsman as well,
for it takes him into one of the most famous game and fishing districts on
the continent.

Where the Lakes Teem with Fish.

At numerous picturesque points along the line and on the chain of lakes
beginning some 30 miles from the Coast excellent tourist resorts and hunting
and fishing lodges are to be found, and farmers who happen to be located
near some favoured haunt of fish or game often find the disciples of rod
and gun a ready source of revenue during summer and fall.

HUNTING GRIZZLY BEARS.

© Rarely does a farming country offer such a wonderful opportunity
for sport as well. To the settler who is interested in game and wild life
the Pacific Great Eastern district inevitably makes an insistent appeal. As
a rule the lakes and streams around him are teeming with trout and other
varieties of fish, and if he is interested in trapping, many valuable fur-
bearing animals may be easily reached. In addition to larger game such as
moose and caribou, black bear and grizzlies, mountain goat and sheep,
black-tail and mule deer, wolves, panthers, coyotes, etc., which may be
hunted in the Lillooet and Cariboo, the most numerous fur-bearing animals
are musk-rat, beaver, mink, marten, and weasel. To the west of Ouesnel
foxes of the red, silver, and black variety are found and many settlers in
the railway farming belt make trapping a valuable side-line in the winter
season. All tillers of the land have settlers’ privileges, subject to the limita-
tions and restrictions imposed by the game laws of the Province.
