Special to The Star,
Spokane, Wash., June 3—(W.A.P.)—Howard Douglas and Alexander Ayotte, the former superintendent of Western Canadian Parks, and the latter Canadian immigration agent, have arrived in Missouli from the Pablo range, where they have been superintending the rounding-up of the herd of 300 buffalo which they expect to ship to the Canadian park from Ravalli.
Most of the buffalo are now corralled on the range and according to Mr. Douglas the work of hauling them to the big corral at Ravalli from which point shipments will be made, will be started Saturday and the herd will be placed on the cars in about two weeks. The hauling will be done by teams.
The buffalo go directly to the new buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta, on the main line of the G. T. P., 130 miles east of Edmonton.
The whole of his bison herd was sold by Pablo to the Dominion government after the United States had refused to take the animals to stock the national parks.
Last year the herd broke loose after being herded to one corral and it was deemed expedient to adopt different measures in rounding up the bunch this year.
