FOREST ANE) STREAM. 



297 



streams along the north shore of h-ike Superior last 

 season in company with Mr. W. Arnold, of Port Arthur. 

 This season Mr. Carr returned to spend a month on the 

 Nepigon, which he says is the finest trout stream in the 

 world— and he has fished in all parts of Europe and 

 America. Mr. Carr strongly condemns those who fish 

 for trout with a spoon, bait or artificial minnow; be 

 terms them anything but sportsmen. This is about the 

 seventh time he has fished the Nepigon. He does not 

 care to catch the much coveted 6 or 7 pound trout, so 

 much sought after by other anglers; he prefers the 3 or 

 4-pound trout, that will fight longer and stronger than 

 the larger ones. He usually preserves a few fine speci- 

 mens to take home to show his friends, but the trout 

 always fade and lose that beautiful color which they 

 have when taken from the water. This year he brought 

 some chemicals with him to try and preserve the luster 

 of those colored spots which the speckled trout axe noted 

 for. This season Mr. Carr had excellent sport and re- 

 turned home rejoicing; he hopes to be spared to have the 

 pleasure of another season's fishing on the Nepigon.

A Large Tarpon Catch. 



San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 19.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: This is to certify that the undersigned, A. W. 

 Houston and P. J". Lewis, of San Antonio, arrived at 

 Aransas Pass on the afternoon of the 12 th inst. to fish for 

 tarpon with rod and reel. On the 13th Lewis landed two 

 tarpon; on the 14th Houston landed six and Lewis six 

 (fishing about seven hours of the day); on the 15th, in the 

 afternoon, Houston landed three and Lewis two, making 

 total number landed nineteen in two and one-half days' 

 fishing. 



The remarkable catch on the 14th of twelve in one day 

 (six by each) is the largest catch of tarpon with rod and 

 reel ever made in one day, so far as we can learn. Before 

 this Mr. Wallace, of Racine, Wisconsin, on Nov. 3, 1894, 

 landed five tarpon in one day; he and two associates land- 

 ing together twelve in one day. This catch gave the 

 championship to Mr. Wallace until our catches on the 

 14th, in which we both beat him by one fish. Who will 

 raise the record? Respectfully, 



(Signed) A. W. Houston.

Striped Bass at New Berne. 



New Berne, Sept. 24. — Rock in Brice's Creek are just 

 splendid. I heard a Mr. Pope say yesterday that he was 

 up Brice's Creek a few days ago fishing and that he saw 

 large numbers of rock up there. J. J. W. 



The North Woods Club. 



The name of the Adirondack Preserve Association has 

 been changed to the Nonh Woods Club. 



Manistee County Fish and Game Protective 

 Association. 



Manistee, Mich. — Editor Forest and Stream; Some time 

 since you asked me to report as to the work which was being 

 accomplished by the above-named Association. Same was 

 formed less than a year ago, and I am sorry to say that it 

 has not been a success. As its president, I have done all I 

 could to make it so, but my efforts and the efforts of the few 

 who felt the need of such an Association and were heartily 

 in sympathy with its objects, have not availed. It is practi- 

 cally dead. 



The great reason why the Association has proved itself a 

 failure is that most of its members were not in sympathy 

 with it, having joined it apparently for the purpose of using 

 it as a- cover ior their own violations of the fish and game 

 laws. Defeated in their attempt to make laws for them- 

 selves which were in open defiance of the State laws, they 

 then revolted, and, some openly, some secretly, worked 

 against it. Unfortunately the malcontents were in the 

 majority. 



The Association raised quite a sum of money in the he- 

 ginning, and with the aid of an appropriation from the 

 county had a game warden of its own. The first selection 

 for the office proved himself a rank traitor, accomplishing 

 nothing in the way of prosecutions, and actually conniving 

 at offenses against the law. 



The next selection was a decided improvement, but came 

 into office at the time when the disaffection among the club 

 members was at its height, and had little backing. 



Another great drawback has been the fact that justices of 

 the peace before whom violators of the law were brought were 

 clearly in sympathy with the culprits, assessing only the 

 most ridiculous fines. One dollar and costs is not much for 

 a pot-hunter or market-fisherman to pay once in a very great 

 while, and such a fine only leads to contempt of the law. 

 As a matter of fact, the nsh and game laws have been a 

 dead letter in this county for so long that any attempt to 

 enforce them was doubly irksome to the people. 



One game warden can do but little in a county which is 

 as wild and sparsely settled as .Manistee county is, in the 

 main. It would take one man for each township to guard 

 it properly. The result is that while the laws have con- 

 stantly been broken we have not made many arrests. 



This is a bad state of things, because Jo'ues sees Smith 

 and Thompson violating the laws with impunity, and nat- 

 urally concludes that there is no reason why they should 

 have all the fun to themselves, so falls into line. The Asso- 

 ciation posted notices all. through the county offering a re- 

 ward of $15 for information of violations sufficient to con- 

 vict. In ten mouths' time only one such reward has been 

 paid and only one information given. No comment is neces- 

 - sary. One farmer told me that he would not dare to inform 

 because he knew that his stock would be poisoned or some 

 such revenge would be wreaked upon him. 



Mr. Chas. S. Hampton, late State game warden, tells me 

 that Manisiee county is the worst in the Lower Peninsula 

 for violations of the fish and game laws. This being so, it is 

 particularly unfortunate that our Association should be able 

 to accomplish nothing, or nothing worth mentioning. 



Unless the new State game warden pays this district special 

 attention the fish and game will suffer more than ever this 

 year, as the appropriation for our Association's warden ex- 

 pires May 1, and so little has been accomplished that the 



county will probably refuse to allow us an appropriation for 

 the succeeding year, and our man will withdraw. 



This, in brief is the history of the Manistee County Fish 

 and Game Protective Association. Speaking for myself and 

 the few members who have remained loyal to it from the 

 beginning, I am exceedingly sorry that it is a failure. 

 Certainly, if the vandals get in their work as thoroughly for 

 the next five years as they have in the la«t five, there will be 

 no hunting or fishing worthy of the name in this county. 

 Streams on which it was easy to fill one's basket with gray- 

 ling a very few years ago, are now a^ost entirely depleted. 

 Spear, net, line and dynamite, to say nothing about fishing 

 out of season, have accomplished their deadly work. The 

 trout suffer also, but in a less degree, as they are less acces- 

 sible and are better able to take care of themselves. 



The only game we have worth mentioning are the deer, 

 which know no rest, in season or out. 



There is no reason why we should not have good deer 

 shooting for another half century at least with proper 

 enforcement of the game laws, but they cannot last long 

 while such persecution as they are now suffering goes on. 



The day is not far distant when even those who are now so 

 impatient of the laws will wish that they had stayed their 

 hands. The mourning always comes after the goose that 

 lays the golden eggs is dead. That is" the pity of it. Good 

 advice and warnings of what is to come are all wasted on 

 such people who cannot be made to see beyond the end of 

 their noses, ^xperientia docec! unfortunately there will be 

 nothing left in this case but the experience.

"The Crack Train of the World." 



A prominent New York merchant and importer of leather goods 

 said in our hearing the other day, "I have traveled all over Europe 

 and America, and I consider the train which leaves Cnicago every d*y 

 at 6:30 P. M. for Sc. Paul and Minneapolis, via the Chi'-ago, Milwaukee 

 & St. Paul Railway, The Crack Train of the World.' " In which 

 statement thousands of others heartily concur.— Adv. 



"HuntinglandPishing along the Northwestern Line" 



is the title of a booklet recently issued by the Chicago & Northwestern 

 Railway. It is profusely illustrated, and gives information in detail 

 concerning the bast hunting and fishing grounds in the West and 

 Northwest. Copies will be mailed free to any address upon applica- 

 tion to W. B. Kniskern, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Chicago 

 & Northwestern Railway, Chicago, HL.— Adv.

The Montreal Bench Show. 



The entry, presumably on account of the Providence 

 and Orange county shows being held on the same dates, 

 was very small, only some 235. There was a large entry 

 from parties in Providence, R I., and reserved numbers 

 for them, but they failed to reach here, as also the 

 amount for their entry fees, which I presume the associa- 

 tion will lose. 



The exhibits as a whole were above the average; the 

 judging satisfactory. 



The committee did all in their power to have the exhi- 

 bitors go away pleased, and, speaking personally, I can 

 say that most ol them from your side of the fence would 

 like to see Montreal again; at least, so they told me. The 

 weather was very old, which had a depressing effect on 

 the attendance, which only numbered some 12,500 during 

 the four days, and probably make a loss to the association.

The Late J. M. Freeman's Kennel. 



Indianapolis, Ind. , Sept. 28. — Editor Forest and Stream: 

 I desire to say that all of the dogs of the late J. M. Free- 

 man have been placed in my hands for sale. They con- 

 sist of the English setter bitch Nellie Hope, five years old, 

 by Gath'sHope — Lady May, she a litter sister to the late 

 great Hope's Mark, and her litter of three dogs and three 

 bitches, now three and one-half months old, by champion 

 Antonio. These puppies are full brothers and sisters to 

 Redfield, and as they are all good individuals they should 

 command ready sale at the prices for which they 

 will be sold. Sportsmen who are willing to assist a 

 worthy family of a true brother sportsman, and at the 

 same time secure for themselves a dog to be proud of at 

 about half its true value, will learn full particulars by- 

 writing to me. P. T. Madison.
