The Northern Montana Forest As
ISOLATION had a very successful season
IN this district this year. About one
and one half acres were burned over
IN the three fires reported, with no
damage to timber whatever. The big
factor contributing to this success was
the hearty cooperation of the residents
of Warland district and the Great
Northern Railway company.

Notices have been posted that the
season for hunting of upland birds has
been closed in the state of Montana,
for 1880. The scarcity of birds is given
as the reason. There is a question in
the minds of many as to whether or
not this order will have the desired
effect on the increase of birds. There
was quit plenty of these birds in
evidence during the early part of the
summer. There is also a decided in
crease in the number of hawks and
owls, and feathers strewn about be-
meath the trees gives evidence as to
where the birds have gone. Very few
birds have been poached by hunters
To say they shall not hunt at all will
probably have the same affect as to
say that they shall not make or drink
moonshine. The sentiment of this dis
trict is that hunters would rather
contribute a little extra license money
as bounty on hawks and owls, and
have an open season on game birds.
