A Faithful Guide in the State of

Among the gu DIES in the State Ct
Maine who have the reputation Of
being very faithful and efficient il
their work is Bert l.. Clark, a regis

Mr.. Clark was horn in Portland IN
1875 and went West at The age of II
years While n that section lie was
located in Montana, Idaho and part OF
the time on il ranch and something
he trapped and did considerable hunt
ing. From there he went to Calltor-

They heard the firing, and rushed out
guns In hand. The caribou, | think
must have passed within 20 rect Of
them, but they were so excited they
did not hit ham either. We alter
ward learned that they followed Oh
his trail for two days, but never
again came up with him. For all

the incident happened almost 40 years
ago. OF course, | got lively well

panions would have had splendid
shot before he started to run, and
no doubt would Have brought him
down.
Caribou in those days were more
plentiful than deer, and much more
plentiful than moose have ever been.
They used to wander around in droYes
from three to a dozen. While We
were in the woods that winter We
heard stories of several herds being
seen in that vicinity. They COM
pletely disappeared from Piscataquis
County not long after the incident
above related, and within few years
there were none to be found in Maine.
Their migration remains so far as /

of our big woods.

a bag of fish with us, one gun and

distance we expected to cover on
snowshoes. and such proved TO be the
case. We got man to carry us
four or five miles on our journey at
one point. Late in the evening We
were walking along a road approach

significance in the fact that the reli.

One fact like this disposes OF good
