D by the hundreds of thousands, and this only for one fleet in one place
at one season, when the Newfoundlanders come up the St. Lawrence at the
end of the winter. The woodland caribou has been killed off to such an
extent as to cause both Indians and wolves to die off with him. The
barren-ground caribou is still plentiful, though decreasing. The dying
out of so many Indians before the time of the Low and Eaton expedition
of 1893-4 led to an increase of fur-bearing animals. But renewed,
improved, increased and uncontrolled trapping has now reduced them below
their former level. Hunting for the market seems to be going round in a
vicious circle, always narrowing in on the quarry, which must ultimately
be strangled to death. The white man comes in with better equipment,
more systematic methods and often a "get-rich-and-get-out" idea that
never entered a native head. The Indian has to go further afield. The
white follows. Their prey shrinks back in diminishing numbers before
them both. Prices go up. The hunt becomes keener, the animals fewer and
farther off. Presently hunters and hunted will reach the far side of the
utmost limits. And then traded, traders and trade will all disappear
together. And it might so well be otherwise. There is another point that
