NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the System of the Reid Newfoundland Company, Ltd., is exceedingly rich in 
all kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon and 
Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in Newtoundlana 
say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with 
such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated Booklet and Folder, cheerfully 
forwarded upon application to

much as look at the feast spread before 
her. Later we purchased the bird in 
order to have the right to protect her 
and during the remainder of the journey 
she was subjected to forced feeding, just ( 
enough bread and milk to sustain life. 
Upon reaching New York a large cage i' 
was provided and soon this shy, w’ild i 
bird with her iridescent coat of purplish I 
blue and bluish green, with her carmine I 
beak and pink-tinted, gray frontal shield 
seemed a very New Yorker. Her dress, 
in it5 harmonious color blending, out- 
shone the Paris gowms of New York’s . 
gorgeously dressed women. She appa- j 
rently enjoyed life at the Hotel Imperial, . 
eating their yellow corn muffins with ■ 
ravenous satisfaction. 
The little gallinule was gentle and 
affectionate and at the end of two months ■ 
she w’as brought back to Florida, where i 
it was decided to give her back her free- 
dom. When the little bird was turned 
out of her cage on the shore of Tohope- i 
kaliga, she ran along for a few steps, ) 
then with a wffiimsical look and a turn 
of her head she w’ould stop, as much as • 
to say: “do you mean it — am I free?” 
Then running a few steps farther she 
w’ould stop again with the same ques- 
tioning look, until she approached the ,, 
lily pads. These green, luscious looking 
clumps seemed to bring back home mem- ' 
ories and slipping into the seclusion of 
the lily leaves, she vanished, entering ' 
that liberty that every wild creature j 
craves and inherits as its natural rights. ;l

KILLDEER PLOVER’S NEST 
ON CAR TRACKS 
Dear Forest and Stream : 
I WAS interested in reading the article 
by Mr. H. L. Allen, New York, in the 
June number of Forest and Stream 
about the nests of Killdeer plover. I had 
a little experience with one myself, only 
somew’hat remote from the Atlantic 
Coast. In the latter part of April a Kill- 
deer’s nest was called to my attention by 
the motorman on an Interurban car on 
the V. T. Traction Co. Lines in south- 
eastern Kansas. The nest was built in 
the center of the track on the rock ballast 
and contained four eggs. The old bird 
was disturbed from six A. M. to twelve 
P. M. about every forty-five minutes by 
passing passenger cars besides extra bag- 
gage cars, but finally hatched the eggs 
all right. Less than five hours after 
hatching they left their nest and were 
running around.

GAME REFUGES A HELP j 
'"THE usefulness of game refuges in i 
t protecting wild birds and animals and > 
increasing their numbers, has so often ^ 
been explained that, by most people, it , 
must be well understood. Yet e.xamples • 
of it which are constantly occurring are 
worth mentioning and giving wide pub- ,i
