The north fork of the Flathead has its confluence with the Middle 

 Fork near Coram Station and it, with its numerous tributaries and 

 lakes, affords splendid sport for the disciples of Walton. The hills 

 and valleys on all sides abound in deer. The nearest station to the 

 best hunting and fishing in this district is Belton, twenty-five miles 

 distant. Black and cinnamon bear are to be found anywnere in the 

 mountains of either Flathead or Lincoln Counties, while grizzleys are 

 not scarce in the Rockies high on the ranges. Feathered game con- 

 sists mainly of pheasants, ducks and geese. The Yakt River and trib- 

 utaries at present are almost inaccessible, but to the hardy sportsman 

 who is willing to cut out trails and brave the dangers of a new country, 

 affords ample field for sport. The Yakt flows into the Kootenai within 

 four or five miles of the Montana-Idaho line, the nearest station on 

 the railway being Yakt. The North Fork of the Flathead is also 

 nearly inaccessible to the average hunter, but will well repay the 

 hardships of the trip in a rich return of game to the venturesome 

 nimrod.
