The Season in Washington. 
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 19 .— Editor Forest and 
Stream: Big game hunters returning to Spokane 
from eastern Oregon, where the season has just 
closed, declare that more than 300 deer were 
killed in the mountains in Josephine county and 
that hundreds were bagged in other parts of that 
State and in southern Washington. There is 
an abundance of feed and all deer killed were 
in prime condition. Hunters believe that the con¬ 
tinued enforcement of the game law will result 
in the continuation of the present abundant big 
game supply for years, as it will be many years 
before the mountain sections of Oregon are 
thickly settled. 
Besides deer many black, brown and cinnamon 
bears have been killed, and as there is no closed 
season for these, the hunting of them will con¬ 
tinue till “denning up time,” or till late in De¬ 
cember. The abundance of sweet acorns gives 
plenty of feed for the bears, and they are now, 
and will continue to be in good condition. Three 
parties of non-residents are now hunting bear 
in the Bear Camp country of lower Rogue River. 
Frostfish Corning In. 
At last the juicy frostfish, the tomcod of that 
vast army of anglers who make their appearance 
everywhere that fish can be caught in Greater 
New York, has made its appearance in numbers. 
First it was taken at the resorts on the south 
shore of Long Island and inside Sandy Hook 
across the lower bay, then in the upper bay, and 
finally in the East and Hudson rivers. In the 
latter waters the “tommies” run small, with an 
occasional specimen of goodly size, but the 
angler who catches a few that run from 10 to 12 
inches in length considers himself lucky. 
Angling for frostfish is not always unalloyed 
pleasure. Holding a rod patiently while sitting 
on a rocky point on an exposed pier, with a cold 
northwest wind blowing, tries the angler’s stay¬ 
ing qualities, but in places where it is possible 
to build a small fire of driftwood near the water’s 
ed^e small discomforts are not thought of. 
The Forest and Stream may be obtained from 
any nezusdealer on order. Ask your dealer to 
supply you regularly.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida. 
By Win. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value lo the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.

Houseboats and Houseboating 
BY ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT. 
A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which 
has for its purpose three objects: 
First—To make known the opportunities American waters 
afford for enjoyment of houseboating life. 
Second—To properly present the development which 
houseboating has attained in this country. 
Third—To set forth the advantages and pleasures of 
houseboating in so truthful a manner that others 
may become interested in the pastime. 
The book contains forty specially prepared articles by 
owners and designers of well-known houseboats, and is 
beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 line and half-tone 
reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England. 
The book has been carefully prepared by Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt. 
The work is printed on extra heavy coated paper, and is 
bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net. 
Postage 34 cents.

Bea.rs I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
After some years of peaceful slumber, Mr. Kelly’s most 
excellent book of bear stories was roused to life by a 
recent criticism of Mr. Seton, the question being where 
Mr. Seton got his material for his bear stories, for a 
number of people suggested that it was taken from Mr. 
Kelly’s book. With the merits of this controversy “our¬ 
selves have naught to do,” but the matter in Mr. Kelly’* 
book is excellent, interesting and worthy of pretty much 
any author.

Sa.m Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
