G. Moren, an independent trader from Lesser 
Slave Lake, arrived in the city this morning 
with a pack of furs. His trip down was an 
eventful one. 
" I came down all alone" he said "and made the 
whole journey in a wagon over the new government 
road. I followed the north side of the river all 
the way, and the second day, noticed signs of 
wolves. On making camp that night I heard them, 
and immediately built a great fire to keep them 
away. It was only a short while till I heard 
their growls and from the restlessness of my 
horse knew they were near at hand. The horse I 
had tied with a strong piece of rope, but it was 
not strong enough to hold the animal for he 
snapped it as if it were a shoestring, and 
immediately I saw if I did not secure him I 
would be minus a horse, so I put a chain around 
his neck and chained him.

"Sitting within the firelight and gazing around 
in the bushes, I counted nine different pairs of 
eyes that glowed like jewels, so there must have 
been nearly a dozen wolves. The scarcity of 
small game this summer has made them ravenous, 
and they are very brave.

In speaking of the trading he said
"As you know there has been a shortage of furs 
this year, but next year we have hopes for a 
good yield. The Inidans, I am afraid, will have 
to rustle pretty hard for a living this winter 
for nearly all posts have shut down on their 
credit. The grain crop has not been as good as 
former years owing to the lateness of the 
season"
Mr. Morin will start on his return trip on 
Friday to join his wife at Lesser Slave Lake, 
where she is staying.
