| A SUCCESSFUL HUNTING TRIP. DR.. S. W.
johnson returned by the evening train Oct
9th from hunting trip to the vicinity of
Mt. Katahdin, bringing his full legal quota
Of deer. He left Bangor Sept. 9th, by the
| B. & A. railroad for Stacyville, from which
a ride Of eight miles carried him to the East
Branch House, the headquarters of Aver &
| Rogers numbering operations. This camp
| possesses all the requirements Of hunting
and fishing headquarters. The scenery is
| grand and beautiful With Katahdin loom
ing up II miles away in the west, and its
smaller neighbors on either hand, with the
woody hillsides, the many CLASSY lakes and
winding rivers, the view from any elevated
point in the vicinity is unexcelled. The
| forests abound in deer, moose and caribou,
and the streams are full of fish. DR.. John
son speaks in the highest terms Of the place
and all connected Herewith. With expert
enced guides, good board, comfortable
camps and plenty Of big game in the forests
and fish in the streams, this region is a veri-
| table sportsman's paradise. One object DIR.
Johnson had in view was to ascend Mt.
Katahdin, and in this he was disappointed.
After hard tramp wit h his guide the ba-
sin was reached and they camped FOR the
night, intending to complete the ascent in
the morning. Unfortunately severe rain
storm set in, and the guide declarin that it
would be unsafe to venture farther, they re-
| traced their steps down the mountain.
