house, comfortable two-story wooden
house resting on the edge of the best
trout pool in all the land of Lake ST.,
John. Here the brook trout runs to
six and six and half pounds, while
five is hardly worth more than pass
ing notice. Bigger fish have been
landed with bait at other spots, but
nothing save a fly is ever used in the
Ouiatchona.
This club, with it's two houses and
canoes and all other equipment at
each, its ice houses and fifteen miles Of
river, has a total membership of six,
and all these are French Canadians.
While large portion Of the Lake
st. John district is controlled by clubs,
there is ample room for the visitor
who belongs to none. In Lake st.
Charles, only fourteen miles from
Quebec, speckled trout grow to. three
and four pounds in weight. They do
not rise to the fly on all occasions,
however, and Lake Beaufort, about
the same distance from the city, is in
A Popular Lake

dense forest and the trip to it is hard,
but it's fish are worth all the trouble.
drive of thirty miles from Quebec
over good country roads brings the
angler to a farmhouse where he may
find lodging and guides. This is close
to the boundary of the park, and
few hours polling up stream brings
him to good fishing grounds. The af-
ternoon of the second day should bring
him to pools where three and four
pound trout are abundant.
To fish in this preserve it is neces-
sary to pay the government 81 per day
for the right to fish and 81 for the use
of a canoe and camp equipment.
Guides cost from $1.25 to $1.50 per day.
So great has been the success of the
government reservation that another
preserve has been set apart on the
lower side of the st. Lawrence. 1t
virtually includes the whole interior Of
the Gaspe peninsula and covers an area
of 25O0 square miles. This district will
be thrown open as is the other, and
will prove a formidable rival to north
ern Maine.

known as the Lake st. John that camp
ing life is brought to its greatest per-
fectlon. Starting from the old gray
walled city of Quebec, line drawn
northward for two hundred miles will
end in Lake st. John, which is thirty
miles from shore to shore, and whose
outlet into the Chicoutimi river is the
home Of the ouananche, the land
locked salmon, the hardest fighter of
, the northern waters.
On both sides of this line lies the
paradise of the sportsman-mile after
mile of woods filled with caribou,
moose, red deer and partridge, lake
after lake, rivers and rapids teeming
with trout Much of it has never been
visited by a white man. Many of it's
lakes and rivers have no place on
any map.
Early the Canadian government put a
stop to the sale of land in this dis
trict. Before the railroad was built
it went begging-too cheap for pur-
chase, for any one who wanted to go
there was welcome and there was no
need of ownership. The suggested open
ing of it to traffic was promptly fol-
lowed by government control, and that
has never been changed.
All along the two hundred miles of
tracks now lie camps belonging to clubs
which hold the rights to shoot and
fish under lease from the government,
and which are under the close super
vision of the honorable minister of
lands; mines and fisheries of Quebec.
A considerable portion of the district
is ruled off as a government preserve
the Laurentides National park-and
here any visitor is welcome to camp
and fish or hunt under the government |
rules and on payment of the govern
ment tax which for fishing amounts
to $40 and for hunting $25 for the
season.
Up at Lake Edward, some one hun
dred and sixty miles on the road to
Lake st. John, is territory where the
sportsman who has no club member
ship can use his rod and gun to his
hearts content. The rest of the dis
trict is for clubs.
The largest is the. Tourilli Fish and
Game club, the dominions of which
make the average American sportsman
stare for very wonder. To make the
complete circuit of it's chain of camps
one must travel lis miles and yet never
step off the preserves. There are two

TEN BANK OFFICERS IN ONE
PRISON.

The penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio,
opened its doors Saturday to receive a.
B. Spear, late cashier of the Oberlin
bank, to close upon him for seven long
years. He is the tenth bank official
On the present roll of that institution.
Just think of it-ten bank officials
ard no two of them, we suppose, from
the same bank, serving terms at the
same time in one prison for embezzie-
u,ent and other fraudulent TRANSACTIONS
with the money entrusted to theif
keeping by the patrons of the banks.
Some Of these are men who had occu-
pied positions of trust and responsible
" for years Some had. by application,
attention to duty and tried honesty.
worked their way up from low-grade
tlerkships to the leading positions in
the banks. No doubt, some of them,
before they fell had been more than
once sorely tempted to commit crimj-
nal breaches of their trusts, but had
resisted the temptation. But the time
came with each one of these when the
strain On their moral strength was
greater than they could bear and con-
science gave way. Moral fOrtitude to
stand up against some temporary pc
cuniary embarrassment deserted them.
The tempter told them they could take
the money entrusted to their safe-keep-
ing for their pressing needs and return
it before their action was found out;
that there were many men now living
in wealth and standing high in the es-
timatiOn of the moral and financial
world who had done the same; that 1t
would be easy by speculation to make
enough money to pay back what they
had taken and to leave a goOdly sum
for themselves.
No doubt there are among these ten
men some who falsified accounts, made
false entries in their books, swore to
false statements, who, before they had
given way to the first temptation, would
have recoiled with horror at the bare
suggestion that they should make tenn
pOrary use of any of the money of
others over which they had control,
but after awhile they began to listen TO
the tempter, but still refused to do his
bidding. Then they began to argue the
matter with him, still resisting, though
that resistance grew weaker and weak
er until at last the fatal step was
taken with the idea of early restoration
and some of the banks money was Sc
cretly borrowed" Thence the down.
ward road was easy which ended in
disgrace and a cell in the penitentiary.

Especial Correspondence of Raleigh

Long Branch, n. J., May 6--Gov-
ernor Edward c. Stokes win within a
few days write Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina informing him that the
plough flag captured from the
Beaufort, North Carolina, regiment by
the Ninth New Jersey regiment at New
to that state.
For four weeks Adjutant General
Brientnall has been searching for au-
thority to s-nd the flag home.
A concurrent resolution was passed
by the house III February authorizing
the return of the flag. 1t was concur
red in by the senate, in the closing rush
of the legislative session, but in some
way was misplaced.
While the adjutant generals cffice
knew of the concurrence of the senate
in this resolution, no one could find it.
n hunt was made in the governors Of
hCe. and it was not there. Then the
vault Of the secretary of state was
searched, and it was not found there.
1t was not filed in tie state library,
and 10 record of il was anywhere.
1t Is not usuai to print these concur
rent resolutions, so that the bill rooms
of the house and senate did not have
them, nor did the printed slips of alb
stracts of bills carry it. Everybody
knew that the resolution passed the
house, where the introducer. Mr..
Of nj ysnl1 1n1 to Nfy q mi
OF Hudson, who made the speech on it.
A few remembered that the resolution
was concurred IL ~ the senate but no
one remembered that it was reported
back to the house.
The governor of North Carolina has
been writing to the governor of New
Jersey, saying it was a long time be-
tween the passage of the concurrent
resolution and the receipt of the flag
on North Carolina soil, and Governor
Stokes has been asking for the concur
rent resolution here. 1t could not be
found, and after few more weeks the
governor of North Carolina again
wrote. Then James Parker, clerk Of
the house, was called upon to come
down to Trenton and help find the leg
islative authority to send back this flag.
Mr.. Parker went down to Trenton
several days ago and made thorough
search of the house records. He then
discovered on the minutes note of the
return of the resolution to the house
by the senate after the latter's concur
renee.
The official document has not yet
been found, but Mr.. Parker has finish
ed duplicate to the executive depart
ment, with certifcation that it passed
both houses of the legislature. This is
all of the authority needed for the re-
turn of the flag.
1t is believed that the relic will be
formally transferred at the unveiling
Of the monument to New Jersey SOL
diers at New Bern, N. c., on May 18th.

The little ripple in politics we E:d
here last week attracted attention all
over the state. The comments Of tho
press have been many and varied. In
the following from The Gazette-News,
of Asheville, it will be seen that that
paper thinks strong opposition par
ty is what we need down this way.
We have had in the last few years ex-
perience with strong opposition party
one so strong that for several
years it had entire control of the city
government. We do not want any
more of that kind. The Gazette
News of last Saturday said:
The politically inclined are in a state
of mind down at Wilmington. Several
members of the board OF aldermen
are being charged with inhdelity to
their party and to their town, a row
is in progress over patronage. and the
situation generally has been describ-
ed by the home folk as miserable
snarl." 1t is too one-sided politically
spea king. in the city by the sea. =
good. strong opposition party is need
ed to inject a more wholesome condi-
ton into the body polite, for when
a party gets things all it's own way.
family row is inevitable. In the mean
while nothing has happened to dis
turb the face of the political waters
up this way. although. like Whining
