Geo. F. Reed, who returned from fish
ing trip to Canada recently informs us
that he found three and one half feet of
snow in the woods when he went there on
May End. Mr.. Reed accompanied Mr..
John Caswell of Boston to his grounds
which are along the line between Quebec
and New Brunswick and six hundred miles
north of the city Of Quebec. Mr.. Reed
and Mr.. Caswell, accompanied by their
guides, traversed a narrow road seventy
miles through the forest and so deep was
the snow and the condition of the road
was such that it was thought at first that
it would be impossible to make the trip
but by perseverance they managed to push
through. While on the trip they met
gang of men who were running logs down
the river. They had been out for forty
four days in the snow and water camping
in tents at night but they were hardy men,
used to this work and thought bat little of
the hardships which they encountered.
They also met party of workmen on the
way to the club houses of the Rsstigouc he
Salmon Club. The party consisted of
twenty men and they had nearly two car
loads of provisions with which they were
to stock the ten camps owned by this
club. This club is composed of forty
members, each holding one share, the
shares selling at $1,000 each. No more
stock is to be issued and share cannot be
purchased except as it is offered by mem
Der who wishes to drop his name from the
list of mem bers.
