THE FUR INDUSTRY A widely distributed natural product of an exceedingly large area of Canada is fur.

It possesses in its northern regions a territorv supporting an abundance of fur-bearing animals. Trading Permits.—Legislation enacted by the Government of Quebec has helped to place the fur industry on a sound basis and has resulted in greatly diminishing the number of furs illegally taken. Fur traders are now obliged to take out a permit and to make monthly reports of all furs or skins bought by them. The cost of a permit is fixed by Order in Council but the maximum amount which can be charged is fixed ov the legislature at $25 annually for residents and $100 for non-residents. Royalties Charged.—Every person in possession of skins or furs of animals hunted or killed within the province is required to pay a royalty on each skin according to the following schedule: badger, 50 cents; bear, sixty cents; bear (white), $1; beaver, $1; deer (red), 10 cénts; ermine, 5 cents; fisher (white), $2; fox (wild), 50 cents; fox (black), $5; fox (blue), $1.75; fox (crossed), $1.70; fox (red), 75 cents; fox (silver), $10; fox (white), $1.75; lynx, 50 cents; marton, $1; mink, 40 cents; moose, 25 cents; muskrat, 5 cents; otter, $2; rabbit (per 100), 5 cents; raccoon, LS cents; seal, 10 cents; skunk, 10 cents; squirrel (per 100), 25 cents; weasel, 5 cents; wolf, 70 cents; wolverine, 50 cents; wild cat, 15 cents.
