WHERE TO GET GAME AND FISH. 
The Great Northern Railway has late- 
ly issued 2 books of great value to sports- 
men. One is entitled “Fishing and 
Shooting Along the Line of the Great 
Northern Railway,” and is a complete di- 
rectory of the game and fish in the re- 
gion traversed by that line: The infor- 
mation is tabulated under the names of 
the different States through which the 
road runs and under the names of the 
towns in each State. In this part of the 
book the information is written out in 
full. Then in another section the same 
facts are condensed into a table with such 
headings as “Kind of Fish,” “Kind of 
Game,” “Names of Principal Lakes,” 
“Miles from Towns,” “Names of Hotels,” 
“Names of Guides,” etc. 
The other book is entitled “Moose and 
Deer Hunting’ and throws some addi- 
tional light on this subject. Both publi- 
cations contain valuable maps and should 
be in the hands of all sportsmen who may 
plan to fish or hunt in the great North- 
west. Address F. I. Whitney, G. P. A.,

WIND MILL FELL ON IT. 
Winnebago, Ill., April 25, 1899. 
Page Fence Co., Adrian, Mich. 
Gentlemen: 
In regard to strength of Page fence 
would say, last year I put up to rods of 
13-48 in. for my nearest neighbor. This 
spring, in March his wind mill blew 
down. It was a large, heavy mill with 50 
ft. tower, it had a clean sweep and struck 
the fence just at top of the tower, it broke 
the 6 in. end post off at the ground, and 
the 4 x 4 bracing, and never hurt the Page 
Fence in the least. It was a good adver- 
tisement for the Page. What would soft 
wire have done? Simply broke. 
Yours truly. 
W. S. Bailey. 

TRADE NOTES. 
The Laflin & Rand Powder Co. has 
issued a beautifully illustrated book de- 
scriptive of the process of making smoke- 
less powder for small arms, rapid fire guns 
and heavy ordnance. It contains a num- 
ber of exceedingly interesting pictures of 
the big guns which so surprised the world 
by their work in the late war, and of the 
powder with which they are provided. 
Some of these cuts seem to illustrate mac- 
caroni cut up in sections; others look like 
sections of stovepipe and still others like 
bundles of telegraph poles; yet they are 
all nictures of cannon powder. 
The bock will be sent free to any one

tains some illustrations of cartridge hold- 
ers and roll holders, and a large number 
of pictures of bicycles with various East- 
man kodaks attached. It is full of inter- 
est from start to finish and every photog- 
rapher should have a copy of it. It will 
be sent gratuitously to all who mention

Mr. D. W. Cree, Griggsville, III. 
I congratulate you on making the best 
stove for general camp use ever made. I 
have camped out many times but never 
with so much comfort and pleasure as 
last season, when I took with me one of 
your common sense camp stoves. Pota- 
toes were baked in 20 minutes and meals 
served in quick time and in good shape. 
to our party of 10 people. I cheerfully 
recommend the stove to all lovers of the 
camp, and would not take $25 for my 
stove. ‘Yours truly, 
F. W. Cook.
