there wasn't much to be seen, but the 
skull bones were smashed into bits. It 
was my cinnamon bear, and I think he 
must have weighed at least six hundred 
pounds. 
Some authorities claim that there is 
no such thing as a cinnamon grizzly, but 
if that bear didn’t have the grizzly char- 
acteristics then I don’t know a bear from 
a cow ! 
The hide of this last bruin was so 
heavy that I had to stay over three days 
in order to dry it, after which time I 
went on down river. On inspecting my 
deadfalls up the little creek I was 
amazed to discover that each had a bear, 
a small Silver-tip and a scraggly black 
fellow. Eight bears this made, all told, 
and if I had been fortunate enough to 
have two or three large steel traps I 
could easily have doubled my catch. I 
have trapped bears a number of times 
since then and have killed quite a few, 
but never expect to have another chance 
like that as long as I live. 
I F one will glance at the accompanying 
map a point marked Dalehurst, on the 
Canadian National, will be noticed. In 
latter years it has been my custom to 
embark on the Athabasca at this place 
and raft down-stream to my trapping 
headquarters on Lynx Creek, a day’s 
travel above the mouth of the Baptiste. 
During the last three years I have 
trapped the Baptiste country very little, 
confining my work to the pursuit of the 
martens in the Moose Mountains back 
from the Athabasca. Mr. R., the horse 
rancher, has since squatted on the Ataha- 
basca at the point where the old G. P. 
Trail crosses, for, despite his heavy 
losses that eventful winter, he is still 
on deck. 
Some day I am going to tackle that 
grizzly-cub proposition — going over the 
old trail to Grande Cache in the Smoky 
River country. If Mama Grizzly doesn’t 
give me too warm a reception I think I 
will have some interesting news.

One-half inch from one end of pole

Link “A” number two to number one by 
screwing free end of “G” into number 
two at a distance of inch from one 
end. It can be done with a little ingenu- 
ity. Pole number one we will arbitrarily 
take as the “lateen yard,” and pole num-

make the sail, first take “A” and 
tie the free ends with a piece of 
stout cord so that when spread out the 
cord and poles will form an equilateral 
triangle 10 feet on a side. Your sail will 
have to fill the enclosed area, and you 
can use this trianele as a guide to your

“For several days Mrs.Wilder 
and I tested it against the best 
fly-rod lures of our previous 
experience — she using the 
feathered minnow and I the 
others, both fishing from the 
same boat. The average of 
the take was three to one in 
favor of the minnow. Then 
I took a minnow myself and 
we had the best and fastest 
fishing of our lives.” — B. F. 
Wilder’s own words in Coin’ 
Fishin’?” 
Always use a stout 
single gut leader 
with this lure as 
the fish strike with 
almost incredible 
viciousness. 6 trout 
size and 12 bass size 
patterns, 75c each. 
The Wilder -Dilg Lure has 
created more interest than 
any other development in 
fly-rod lures of recent years 
and every fisherman will 
thoroughly enjoy the fasci- 
nating account of the expe- 
rience which led to its 
invention: 
Send for the booklet “Coin’ 
Fishin’?” It tells the all 
about the feathered minnow 
and shows full color views 
of the 12 bass size patterns.
