Buffaloes Multiply Fast.
According to a recent census buffaloes at the Federal game park at Wainwright, Alberta, have increased in such numbers that the government officials state that the vast tract of land set aside for their use is insufficient to accommodate them. An order has gone forth that a number of the older animals are to be slaughtered and carcasses to be sold to northern trading companies to be converted into pemmican, which is considered a great delicacy in the vicinity of the Arctic. The Dominion government will retain the hides.
