MONTAN4'S BIG TROUT.
The IL Founder Senator BlSss CAUGHT
With Q : IL Ounce Rod

HELENA, Mon, June 17.-Frozen inside a
cake of ice, there is on exhibition here one
of the finest trout ever landed in Montana. 1t
was caught by former Senator William
Bggs, and weighs slightly more than twelve
pounds
1t was caught in the Big Baokfoot River
near Bonner. 1t took more than twenty
minutes to tire the fish out so that land
ing net could be placed around it, and the
lucky angler complains that for two days
his arm was tired as the result OF the long
drawn out tussle.
just back Of the cake Of ice stand the
rod, reel, line and hook which proved the
undoing Of the fish, They seem out OF ali
proportion, as the rod weighs only five and
half ounces the reel Ia an ordinary affair
the line deceptive silk thread and the
hook Is minnow size.
In addition to the twelve FOUNDER, the
Senator landed eight and four Founders.

FLY FISHING ron BASS.
Lures Which Prove Effective in Northern
Waters In the summer

kNowLTON, Canada, June l7.-Most OF
the visitors to the well stocked lake here
do their fishing for bass with lait. Young
dragon flies, which look now like big gray
beetles, are about the lest lure at the very
beginning of the season.
After that, crawtish, minnows, frogs and
worms are all favorite haits, and the patient
fisherman, who is content to run his boat
beside promising lar of gravel or stones
and wait for the lass to bite. may have
plenty of sport if he ares for it that way.
But it is the fly fisherman who really
enjoys the fishing for the hack Lass. He
it is who feels the thrill OF the rise Of these
warriors.
The writer had six pound bass jump
about for forty minutes one hot day, during
which time he was not out of sight for two
full minutes. When it came into the net the
fish had 80 thrown itself around that all
three hooks Of the cast were fast in various
parts of his body.
His mate-they often travel in pairs
made one long,skipping run over the surface
of the water and then dived. Twenty
feet under water, it tore about like mad
thing, until at the end of a half hour its
strength was gone and it was secured.
Around the cast was fastened by six twist
ings the top of cane rod, which, with line
all complete, had lain Mt the bottom of the
lake, perhaps for years.
good deal of Judgment must be used in
choosing flies for bass. In June very few
men indulge in fly fishing, because Of the
general lack of this knowledge If little
midges. black gnats and small yellow brakes
are used in the late afternoons some of
the big fellows are pretty sure to take hold.
A little later the May flies will begin to
come to the surface and to futter about
there for a moment to give the lass chance,
The gray or yellow May and the Jock Scott,
or Montreal, should then he tried, and may
be used all day long.
For the latter part of July the silver
doctor, palmer and coachman, all tied to
large hooks, will make good cast, though
the black dose is good alternative.

of the perils to live stock that every ranch

Cross Embedded in Turtles Back.

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
The largest turtle ever captured in the
Minnesota River anywhere near here was
caught to-day half mile south of town by
Harry Thurman.
The upper shell, or oarapax, was a little
less than three feet long and a little over
two foet wide. and as soon as the animal
was caught 1t was observed that there was
strange appearance az Of cross on the
shell, the raised lines which constituted it
crossing at right angles in the center of the
shell and being about eight inches in length.
the one from side to side being slightly the
shorter.
Young Thurman killed the tortoise and
then cut into the cross on the shell to see
why the lines should be there. He was much
astonished to find that the knife struck on
metal slightly below the surface, and on full
investigation being made 1t was discovered
that the cross was made by the shell having
grown over a chain Of gold. which had been
fastened to the edges Of the turtles shell

BUFFALO BILLS TRAIL OPEN.
PUBIC ROAD NOW THROUGH 100
MILES OF Widest WEST.
He BIazed 1t Out Forty Years Ago and
Built Ills Own Tomb on One Of the
Way side Peaks-Nill Help Landseekers
at ShOshOne RpSerN alton OPENING,

Buffalo Bill has lived to see one of his
cherished plans carried out. After forty
years the trail which he himself mapped
| out through the widest part of Wyoming
has been opened as public road. 1t was
Col. Cody's desire to have a road entering
Yellowstone Park from the east and this
is the picturesque trail now open to tourists.
Beginning on the Shoshone River, in tho
Big Horn Basin it ends at the Lake Hotel
in the Natural Park.
In laying out the trail the old fighter
employed no engineer. He struck out
for the widest and most beautiful scenery
to be found, and this road from the town
of Cody'to the Yellowstone passes through
such ravines and along such precipices
that several short tunnels have had to be
cut. Part of the time the way is over
mountains and part of the time along
winding rivers and canons
Upon this trail, in one Of the very loneliest
spots, Col. Cody has built for himself an
imposing mausoleum in which he will some
day be buried. The tomb is located on the
apex of Rattlesnake Mountain, which before
this road was opened was inaccessible save
to a few experienced mountaineer.
In speaking Of the work, Buffalo Bill
says; , -,
find 100 miles of the most superb natural
scenery in the world. We are in the heart
of the Rocky Mountains, and the drinking
water is from the pureet mountain streams;
the rivers are full of trout, and here also
is the big game country of the Rockies.
Upon the trail the Colonel has established
two hunting lodges called Wapiti and Pa
haska tepees. The latter is named after
the old fighter himself, and in the Indian
language means, home of the longhaired
one" Pahaska tepee has n log cabin
which will comfortably accommodate more
than hundred persons.
Col. Cody's trail will help the home,
seeker who will go to the Wind River and
Shoshone Reservation next summer. Tho

as the date when the land shall be thrown
open. In the meantime the United States
Is spending 81 ,225 600 on an irrigation project
in this selfsame Big Horn Basin for the rec
lamation of near to 10000 acres of fertile
land.
The country is located in northwestern
Wyoming, Immediately east Of Yellowstone
Park. The basin itself contains more than
5000 900 acres and it is believed that at least
fourth of this can be influenced by irri-
cation.
That part of the Big Horn district which
the United States Government is seeking
to irrigate lies along the Shoshone River
in Big Horn county. The main canal will
be sixty feet wide at the bottom, and will
extend from Rattlesnake Mountain, three
miles above Cody, along the north side OF
the river to a terminus above Garland.
At one point the canal passes through
a ravine with perpendicular walls several
hundred feet high, and this at the mar
rowest point will he walled up by dam
l2o feet high as a reservoir.
