Mr.. Porter has also agreed to es-
tablish camping place at the end of
| the wagon road, where the transfer is
made to pack animals, and furnish
pasturage for the animals of those
who camp over night. Mr.. Porter will
have man at the camping place to
prevent the spreading of camp fires
and look after the wagons and equip
ment left there, but he will not be
responsible for them. The locks on
the gates have been taken off and any
one desiring can pass through, but
it Is expected of them that they will
close the gates. By this arrangement
six miles of the former distance are
cut Off.

but this year, on account of so many
fish dying he will be able to get only
about 100000.
The agreement made by Messrs. Por-
ter and Kirkpatrick is a fair one
under the present circumstances, and
will be great convenience to those
who go on yearly fishing and camp
ing expeditions to that part Of the
