MOUNTAIN RESERVE.
Sir.—\ our .Stratford reporter seems to fie, interesting himself in the welfare of the Mountain Reserve by suggesting all sorts of drastic steps against those settlers adjoining who may liave cattle wandering from their adjoining farms in[to the reserve. As is usual with people o!' selfish motives, he suggests that settlers should be compelled to erect fences along the reserve and to keep them in repair for all time, otherwise tln-ir cattle should lie. shot or a £SO fine imposed, reporter cares not what financial difficulties settlers may be working under, for to be compelled to erect fences through standing hush is no easy matter, and to ask us to fence in this grand national park for the benefit of tourists, etc., is beyond all reason. If the cattle nuisance is so discouraging to townspeople and the Park Board, why not fence it in 5 There would then be some reason in the above threats. If the Board would bear half tlio cost of fencing and erect the fence where the leseive is visited by the public it would stop a lot of trouble, and J am sure settlers would be onlv too glad to do their share—l am. etc., SETTLER.
