throughout Dawson County, as there is a chain of small lakes and 

 ponds extending from Sidney to the Musselshell River. During the 

 late fall season, there is also good duck shooting on all the streams 

 of this section. The fish in these eastern streams are pike, catfish, 

 ling, sturgeon, buffalo fish and carp, and are caught in any of the 

 large streams as the Yellowstone, Powder, and Tongue Rivers in Custer 

 County and the Yellowstone, Big Horn and Musselshell in Rosebud 

 County. The Yellowstone River may be reached from Glendive, Terry, 

 Miles City, Forsyth, Custer and the smaller stations between these 

 points. Terry is the nearest railroad point to Powder River; Miles City 

 to Tongue River, and Custer gives access to the Big Horn River. 



Melstone on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul is the first 

 station touching the Musselshell; from here to Harlowton are stations 

 and sidings every eight to ten miles. On through Yellowstone County 

 very much the same conditions concerning game and fish prevail as 

 in Custer, Dawson and Rosebud Counties, except that a few trout 

 get down the Yellowstone River in this County. In the Lake Basin 

 country, north of the Yellowstone River in western part of this county 

 is a favorite nesting place for ducks. Here also many herds of grace- 

 ful antelopes roam the prairies. Along the river bottoms and on the 

 islands are countless numbers of white tail deer. From Laurel, four- 

 teen miles west of Billings, is a branch of the Northern Pacific, ex- 

 tending in a southwesterly direction to Silesia, where the branch 

 forks, one fork to Red Lodge and the other up the famous Clark's Fork 

 Valley to Bridger. This entire branch is in Carbon County and gives 

 access to the finest big game and fish section in eastern Montana. The 

 trout streams of Carbon County on the Bridger branch are Clark's 

 Fork, Blue Water, Sage, Line, Bennett, and Grove Creeks. On the
