PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



THE NEW WONDERLAND. 



The 1904 edition of the Northern Pacific 

 "Wonderland" is out, and all that need 

 be said of it is that it is fully up to 

 the excellent standard of its pre- 

 decessors. It deals with many 

 subjects that are dear to the 

 heart of every sportsman, includ- /J 

 ing carefully tabulated informa- 

 tion as to where various species 

 of game and game fishes may be 

 found. It gives a lot of interest- 

 ing and valuable reminiscences 

 regarding the explorations of Lewis and 

 Clark, of Maximillian, the Spanish trav- 

 eler, of the developments and improvements 

 in the Yellowstone National Park, and of 

 the great irrigation works in the Yakima 

 country. 



The book is jam full of beautiful, inter- 

 esting and instructive pictures of scenes 

 along the Northern Pacific railway, by art- 

 ists and art photographers. Some of the 

 drawings date back nearly 100 years and por- 

 tray the great Northwest in its halcyon days. 

 There is one photograph reproduced on page 

 39 showing 10 mule deer on the parade 

 ground at Fort Yellowstone in the Yellow- 

 stone National Park, which is alone worth 

 the price of admission. One of the most grat- 

 ifying sights open to the sportsmen tourists 

 of to-day is the herds of deer, elk, mountain 

 sheep, antelope and buffalo which are to 

 be found in that wild animal republic. The 

 United States Government has never done 

 so good a thing anywhere else, in the way 

 of preserving our wild animals, as in the 

 creation and maintenance of that park, and 

 the success of this venture has proven the 

 necessity of establishing such havens of 

 refuge in various Western States. We all 

 hope this may be done in the near future. 



The Northern Pacific railway has been an 

 important factor in the creation and devel- 

 opment of the Park and it is only proper 

 that it should now reap the benefit of its 

 work by carrying thousands of people there 

 every summer.

any size desired, from 22 caliber up to 50. 

 The time was when a man going into the 

 big game country wanted a belt full of 

 cartridges ; but that time is past. Most men 



A NEW BELT. 

 The Marble Safety Axe Co. has turned 

 another trick. This time it is a cartridge 

 carrier, made of leather and so arranged 

 that it can be slipped on an ordinary belt. 

 The sample before me is made to hold 14 

 cartridges, and these carriers are made in 



now go out with only what cartridges thev 

 can place in the magazine. S^me'imcs it 

 is necessary to have a few more, and this 

 new scheme of Marble's will answer every 

 requirement for a day's hunting in any 

 country. 



ALL WOOL AND A YARD WIDE. 

 Persons going into the woods or moun- 

 tains, or on the water, should all know the 

 need of wearing woolen underclothing. 

 There is no item in a camping or fishing 

 outfit more important than that of clothing 

 which is to be worn next the skin. After 

 an experience of 40 years, a large portion of 

 which has been spent in the woods, I can 

 say truthfully and conscientiously that I 

 have never found any underwear so thor- 

 oughly adapted to the needs of campers as 

 that made by the Jaeger Sanitary Woolen 

 Company, and I think every man who has 

 ever worn Jaeger underwear will agree 

 with me in this statement. These goods 

 are absolutely all wool and the wool is pre- 

 pared more carefully before being made up 

 than by any other manufacturers I know 

 of. I have several times ventured to buy a 

 suit of underwear of some other make, 

 which was recommended as "just as good"; 

 but none of these has ever proven anywhere 

 near it ; so I have always gone back again 

 to the old standby, and shall probably con- 

 tinue to buy Jaeger goods as long as I live.

Dear Sirs : I am much pleased with your 

 novel invention. I gave the reel and inde- 

 pendent spool as severe a test as possible 

 and nothing could work better. I had no 

 difficulty in casting a small frog 75 to 140 

 feet from the boat. Your reel beats my fine 

 Julius Vom Hofe reel, and I would not part 

 with yours if I could not get another. It 

 has another advantage over all other spool- 

 ers, as in case the guide should get out of 

 line, caused by backlash, ont can slip off the 

 band and turn pulley on spooler until the 

 guide is in line with the line on the spool.
