(By Allen O. Hess)

For the past seven years, since we
took up residence in Idaho, we have
never failed, at the opening Of the sea-
son on big game, to shoulder our rifle
and hike out for the hills. Others
there are who may sit around and
look wise, while the antlered tribe
cavort and caper among the jack
pines, but as for us, we simply can't
stand the pressure. Precisely four days
after our arrival in White Bird three
weeks ago, we donned our hunting toys
and headed straight for the hOspitable
cabin of George Philbrick in the vicin-
ity of Cold Springs, where the latch
string hangs loose to hungry pedes-
TRANS and a hot repast of choice de-
lectables is always in evidence
George is a mighty fine cook, and
the stack of "flapjacks" and honey !;
the pan of French fried potatoes and
the bowl of apple sauce we "throwed
under our belt that night simply
wasn't slow. The next morning at
3 80, George awakened us from sleep
to the accompaniment that the saddle
and pack horses were harnessed for
the hike, and another stack of hot
"flapjacks" were awaiting our con-
sumption. By four o'clock we were
off for the count and riding down the
canyon by way of Foskett's sawmill,
at daybreak, we had descended the
crest of a lofty backbone, which Is
known by the name of "horse ridge.
Heading on back in the direction of
Delmage's salt grounds, we soon dis
covered to our chagrin that the warm
days and cold nights just preceding
had dred and crusted the snow to
such an extent that trailing deer was
impossible We dismounted, however
and after accommodating around for
several hours we returned to Georges
cabin empty handed.
Three days later however, fresh
snow fell, and with few biscuits and
a slug Of bacon slung over our shoul
der inside a flour sack we struck out
unaccompanied to the COW camp OF
Rice and Harness, situated In the 10
cality of wild horse meadows OIL
the breaks of Slate creek. Ordinarily
there is always plenty of grub packed
away in these cabins-the cattlemei
being very generous-but this time al
we could muster up was little Hour

however, a goodly supply OF bedding

we landed deer. And here is the wa!

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
WHILE ON DEER HUNT

we did it: We were wallowing thru
snow to our knees, in a patch of jack
pines, when we jumped a black-tail
buck which somehow we failed to see.
The big fellow bounded through the
timber forty feet at bound, picked
up his mate which was bedding a few
hundred yards distant, and although
we followed these fellows persistently
for three hours, we failed to catch
sight of either of them. During our
peregrinations in trailing campward,
we bounced another buck, which dis
appeared in the brush with a single
leap, and even before we had time to
fire. This however, worked to our adj
vantage, for had we shot we would
have frightened another fine fellow
which was just at this moment Looping
through an opening in the timber just
ahead of us. AS soon as our eyesight
rested upon the likeness Of this big
fellow with four points we said, good
bye, old boy" and at the crack of our
rifle he plunged forward, reared upon
his launches, and fell backward dead
with bullet through his heart.
BY the time we had dressed our
game and hung him up to a tree it
was growing dusk, and we struck out
for the cabin at speed OF something
less than twenty miles an hour. If
only we had headed in a westerly di-
rection instead of south we would have
soon come out where we knew every
thing, but instead, we turned due
south, which led us exactly in an OPP
posite direction. At six thirty o'clock
we looked at our watch, and at nine
o'clock we were SO wearied and wet,
! fioundering and falling through the
snow and windfall, that we decided to
camp for the night. Drawing our
camp axe from the holster we Clipped
off few pieces of pitch from nearby
| log and proceeded to build a fire. Our
matches, however, had all become
damp from the moisture on our cloth
ing and not a single one of them would
burn. BY this time we knew exactly
where we were, but it was pitch DARK
In the timber and we could make NJ
Roadway.
Finally, we decided that it was &
case of walk all night anyway unless
we found the cabin, so we struck ou
and at five minutes past ten stumbled
out into the opening where our CAM
was, and it certainly looked good t.

cabin, and before leaving camp W,
had carried in a huge pile of ricl

forgotten our troubles. Getting lost,
tired or hungry in the woods when one
is in quest of big game does not worry
the true sportsman in the least, as he
realizes that these experiences are
only part of the game.
At five o'clock the next morning we
arose from our berth of fir boughs
and dead bear grass, baked or rather
dried out couple of fiapjacks over
the fire 1--WE had no grease, so baked
our bread on a clapboard), roasted
piece of deer liver, steamed up some
tea, and by daybreak were off for the
timber. We had gone less than half
mile to the east, when we discovered
the fresh sign of bunch of five deer
and took in upon the tracks, following
them very cautiously ard looking for
a shot. Our best time to hunt deer we
consider is just about daybreak, for at
that hour the deer are up feeding and
are more easily seen than after they
have made their beds in the bushes.
We followed these fellows as slowly
and deftly as we could confident we
would see them first, but just as our
| head showed out of a little draw we
saw five white rumps bouncing up and
| down like a rubber loaded SNOWFALL,
and had barely caught sight of them
when they vanished in the jack pines.
| For three hours at least, this band of
white tails played hide-and-seek with
us out there in the timber, but we never
got sight of them again. Finally, we
gave up the chase, and started for
other territory. We reached the de-
sired objective just in time to hear
some fellows open up below us with
automatic rifles, and we could tell
from the rapidity of their shots that
they were missing the game When d

be carefully considered by this COM
mission in adjusting the consideration
to be paid by the electric road or the
steam road-a sum which the con-
signee would finally pay in the freight
charge.
Again, the steam roads say that to
compel some physical connections
would result in requiring the steam
road to short haul ITSELF The mean
ing of this can best be obtained by IL
lustration:
"A person at Waterville has a car
load of some commodity coming to
Boston. He finds that by consigning
it to himself at Deering Junction and
then having it hauled by the Lewis
ton, Augusta and Waterville Street
Railway, he can save a substantial
amount. To permit this to be done
would result in taking from the Maine
Central the revenue it would receive
from hauling this same carload over
its own road from the Junction to
Waterville-in other words, short
hauling ITSELF by the distance between
the two points.
This. however, Is matter of detail
only; and, for the moment waving the
question of whether or not the fore
going illustration constitutes more or
less than legitimate competition, can
not this commission be trusted to
properly safeguard the interests of all
parties concerned"

Matter of Grade Crossings,
by Maine Public Utilities

IN our last annual report we called
attention to the loss of life which had
occurred to automobiles and other
travellers at grade crossings, and stated
that a comprehensive study of the mat
ter was being made" say Hon, BEN
Jamin F. Cleaves of Biddeford. Hon

crossings in the State, made MANY sur

several hundred recommendations.

law of 1915 requiring each town to ex-
pend five per cent Of the money raised
for highways and bridges in the re-
moval of trees and bushes by the side
of ways. suggesting that such removal
be commenced at grade crossings. The
response to this request has been very
satisfactory, a large number of cross
ings which formerly were dangerous

much safer. The results of this work

for the use of legislative committees

Aquarium Notes

The stories in this department con-
corning the recent fierce battles be.
tween the trout and salmon in the
aquarium at the State museum will be
recalled and perhaps mention of the
effects Of the same may be of interest.
Curator James says that it is a wonder
that some Of the trout did not die from
the rough handling they received. Both
trout and salmon show goodsized
scars from the needle-like teeth Of
their opponents. Several have great
pieces missing from their tails, max
ing a complete change in the shape.
while others have scars on top OF the
back, along the sides and on the fms.
In some cases the injuries have been
followed by the fungus growth that at
feet fish, but this is being cured by the
baths Of permanganate of sodium and
salt. 1t Is a peculiar sight to see one
big 4-or 5-pounder roll along in. the
water and await the attention of Cur
ator James, who with a cloth tied to
a stick rubs, cleans and messages the
big 'un from head to tail, whileS she
keeps as motionless as possible. She
seems to know what and why" and to
enjoy it.
Another act performed by the trout
and salmon. one seldom seen by man.
owing to the inaccessibility of their
homes in the streams and lakes, is to
sink to the bottom and roll and scrape
along amongst the sand, gravel and
rocks in order to rid themselves of
something adhering to their sides.
They are apparently unconcerne1 at
the presence Of spectators and attend
strictly to their own business. Again,
with not a particle Of food stuff in
sight, they will take swift, headlong
plunge, which Mr. James says is done
for the same purpose. And the kind
of plunge they make would warn any,
one not to let a finger or hand get in
tho way, or it would certainly bear
worse scars than the fish in the
aquarium have inflicted on each other.
