1 Wild Game 
has increased in numbers in 
the Northwest in recent years. 
It is estimated, for example, 
that during the hunting season 
of 1903, there were 10,000 
deer killed in Northern Min- 
nesota and this was a mere 
bagatelle in comparison with 
those remaining. The en- 
forcement of effective game 
laws, principally, is responsible 
for this increase in wild an- 
imals. 
The Northern Pacific rail- 
way traverses the very heart 
of the Northwest game fields 
and fishing waters. From Wis- 
consin to Puget Sound and the 
ocean the bass, pickerel, mes- 
calonge, trout and salmon, ana 
the deer, wolves, elk, moun- 
tain lions, mountain goats, etc., 
can be found within convenient 
distances of railway stations. 
Those desiring to know 
more about this subject will 
find a chapter on it in ‘*Won- 
derland 1904,” published by 
the Northern Pacific and sent 
to any address for six cents by 
A. M. Cleland, the General 
Passenger Agent of the railway 
at St. Paul, Minn. The book 
has other articles of interest, 
is fully illustrated, and is a 
useful addition to the family 
library and reading table.
