regarded as by far the best hunting for big game in all our 

 borders ; certain it is that there is no trout fishing that can 

 excel it; nobody can make any mistake, if they wish the fin- 

 est trout fishing they ever enjoyed, to go to Nesourdnahunk 

 region, and as many moose or more are taken from this sec- 

 tion every year as from any other within the confines of 

 Maine. Another favorite route is, starting from Kineo take 

 the steamer to N. W. Carry, 20 m., where is located the 

 sporting house of Miles P. Colbath, known as the Seboomook 

 House, where the sportsman will find a pleasant home and 

 first class sport in every respect ; thence by carry about 2 m. 

 to the W. Branch of the Penobscot ; proceeding down river a 

 few miles you reach the famous Seboomook Falls, a famous 

 trout pool; .still continuing you would reach the West Branch 

 end of the N. E. Carry, heretofore described ; proceeding up 

 river from the carry 3'ou would pass Nelhudus Stream to the 

 Forks, so called ; taking the south branch at the Forks you 

 would reach the famous Canada Falls, Bog Brook, Alder 

 Brook, Hale Brook, Penobscot L,ake and the head of naviga- 

 tion even for canoe. This is a fine countr}- for moose, deer 

 and trout, also for ruffed grouse and some ducks. Proceed- 

 ing up the north branch you pass lyane Brook, Leadbetter 

 Falls, famous Green Mt. Pool, where a thorough sportsman 

 told me that in October, 1899, he saw at least a hayrack load 

 of trout, many of which would weigh 5 lbs., — this man is reli- 

 able too ; it is a famous trout pool ; continuing you pass Dole 

 Brook and reach what is called the " High landing," and you 

 have a carry of 3 m. into the famous St. Johns Pond, from 

 this pond the famous Baker Lake may be reached, thence to 

 the St. Johns River, thence by this river to Fort Kent before 

 spoken of ; all this region around St. Johns Pond and Baker 

 Lake with the famous bogs is great hunting ground for 

 moose, ruffed grouse, bears and wild cats, and duck abound, 

 — this is a favorite trip. Starting again from Greenville, on 

 the C. P. Ry. to Lake Megantic and the Province of Quebec, 

 we follow the west shore of Moosehead Lake to the East Out- 

 let of the lake, so called, where are situated the famous 

 sporting camps and hotel kept for many years by Henry I. 

 Wilson & Sons ; this was one of the earliest fishing resorts 

 on the lake, and probably more trout have been taken here 

 than in an}' other portion of Moosehead Lake. From this sta-
