many there now. this is an assurance

Lakes Close Together.
Even though there are plenty II ls
a difficult matter to secure a bag OF
any size at one shooting. The lakes
are too numerous and too close to-
gether for the ducks to remain IN one
place and be shot at for any lengt
of time. AS soon as they are

The big sport in the mountains this
fall Is grouse shooting. The noun
tains are full of them in the neigh
borhood of Carpenter lake along the
border. They are found
along tho edges of fields where there
is poplar scrub brush, but h shoot
ing is much different from hunting
chickens on the prairie. One seldom
gets a shot at a bird flying straight

Partridge Season Opens Today.
The season on cartridges opens to-
day and those who like to stalk the
wary bird through the brush will find
great hunting this year in the noun
tains. Along about five o'clock in the
afternoon they come out on the trails
and in the open places and because
they have not been shot at yet they
are very tame. =

It is evident that there iss going to
be good deer hunting up there when
the season opens. Deer trails down
to the lakes are numerous, The
writer hit OF several during the last
week. They ran down to Carpenter
lake from across the boundary line
III the Canadian forest reserve. Frank
Herst, who lives in that neighborhood
saw two last Tuesday, up near the
boundary in the forenoon and another
near his place in the evening.

in the neighborhood of Carpenter lake
during the winter was no cub. He
was shot by a young boy by the name
of Abrahamson and the Bruin was so
big that Abrahamson's horse could not
drag him away.
The fish have died out Of most of
the lakes for some reason and while
some Of the lakes have been stocked
again, the fishing is not what it was.
over in Canada on Lake William the
fishing is reported to be excellent. bu,
g. fisherman from the states has to
pay S25 for a non-residence license to
catch them. so not many are going
over there. 800
