cut out. "there is a convenient stopping place at the head of 

 Trout lake. One can stop almost any place from the Missis- 

 sippi up to Trout lake, which is a two days' trip. Wabano 

 to Trout lake is a one-day trip. From Trout lake through 

 Ruby lake and the Rice lake chains to Fox lake, and from 

 Fox lake along the river to Club House lake is another day's 

 trip. The territory is wild, sandy, rocky and uninhabited. 

 The lakes abound in bass, being very little frequented by 

 the tourists. At the head of Club House lake is another 

 stopping place. From there to Big Fork one goes through 

 Club House lake into Copenhagen lake and Slocum lake and 

 from there down the Rice river to Big Fork. From Club 

 House lake to Big Fork is another day's journey. From there 

 is a beautiful trip which takes one down the Big Fork river 

 along its winding banks bordered with timber, through rapids 

 and down to the Rainy river. From Big Fork to the Rainy is 

 about one week's trip and one should not undertake to take 

 this trip unless fully provided with provisions and escorted 

 by a competent guide, that is, unless he wants to rough it 

 and explore the country for his own sake. This applies also 

 to the trip between Wabano lake and Rice river. Many bays 

 and small outlets are so deceptive as to cause the traveler 

 many inconveniences. The whole trip will take about two 

 weeks.
