The honor of catching the largest tarpon at 
that well-known Florida fishing resort, Useppa 
Island, near Boca Grande, goes to Mrs. L. J. 
Campbell, of Youngstown, Ohio. Mrs. Campbell 
also proved her ability with the rod and reel by 
winning the Izaak Walton gold button for the 
largest silver king caught during the season. 
The largest sum—$246—ever paid in any one 
month as bounties on foxes in Ocean county, 
N. J., was recently paid to fox hunters by the 
Ocean County Board of Freeholders. 
Car! O. Jorgenson, state auditor of North Da¬ 
kota, has just completed payment of $50,000 in 
bounties to slayers of coyotes. A bounty of 
$2.50 was paid for each wolf killed. 
Through the favorable report on the Nelson 
bill by the Senate committee on public lands, 
the state of Minnesota has acquired all unsur- 
“It’s Livelier Than A Live Minnow!” 
exclaimed an old bass fisherman on first seeing this new 
floating, diving and wiggling bait at work. 
And when he had tried it out in a day's hard fishing 
he agreed that it had brought him more strikes, and 
landed more bass, than any live minnow—or bucketful 
of 'em—he had ever seen. 
The great strike-getting qualities of the 
“Pflueger Surprise” Minnow 
are duo to the fact that it can be made to perform, and 
the great control exercised by the “man behind the rod." 
The ‘Tflueger Surprise’’ floats until reeling in is 
commenced, the depth controlled by reeling speed, 
v Coming in, its peculiar construction causes it to wiggle 
*and dart about with the characteristic movements of a 
live minnow—arousing the combative instincts of the 
gamey bass. Stop reeling, and the bait rises to the 
surface. 
Made in seven color blends, as follows: 
No. 3970 Luminous Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3980 Whito Enamel Over All—Red Throat.

‘Tflueger Surprise." See it at your

veyed lands north of the 46th latitude. This 
land is to be utilized by the state as a forest 
reserve. 
The oddest looking fish ever caught at Palm 
Beach, Fla., is that of the recent catch of Am- 
brous Monnell, Jr., president of the Midvale 
Steel Company. The fish while shaped some¬ 
what like the little sunfish, weighed close to a 
ton and had ears like an elephant that were 
folded close to the skin. The fish is estimated 
to be some four hundred years old and is re¬ 
ported to be a native of African waters. 
As fishermen are noted for their veracity there 
can be no questioning the reported catch of 
Harry Ackley, president of the Rome (N. Y.) 
Game Association, who, it is claimed, has broken 
the season’s fishing record by recently landing 
a German brown trout that weighed seven and 
one-quarter pounds. The fish being caught in 
the Mohawk River—Could it have been a young 
German submarine? 
Another big trout, this one weighing four and 
a quarter pounds, was the recent catch of George 
Hendricks, of Sherburnfe, N. Y. Hendricks, so 
the report goes, was sogging for suckers and had 
a shark outfit. Shades of Isaak Walton, are any 
members of the Cotton Thread Club present? 
Able-bodied 90 per cent, trap shooters are few 
and far between, but Hastings, Neb., boasts of 
a one-armed trapshooter, George W. Maxwell 
by name, who in 1913 compiled an average of 
95 per cent, and in 1914 an average of 94.73 per 
cent. Another one-arm shooter who excels in 
the “shoot ’em high, shoot ’em low game,” is 
George K. Gilmore, of the Wallace (Idaho) Gun 
Club, who recently ran up an average of 96 per 
cent. You’ve gotta hand it to them; the’re good— 
even if it’s one hand. 
Boy Scouts as game wardens is the plan of 
Dr. A. T. Rasmussen, president of the Wisconsin 
Fish and Game Association, who is promoting 
the idea, as an aid to the preservation of game 
in that state. 
Two hundred and seventy trout in two days is 
the reported catch of three sportsmen (?) of 
Portland, Ore., fishing recently in the McKenzie 
river. The paper reporting this slaughter goes 
on to say: “The fishing this season is reported 
to be excellent and the anglers experienced all 
the delights accompanying the hooking of these 
handsome specimens.”—How long will this “ex¬ 
cellent” fishing last if fishermen like the “three 
sportsmen” (?) are allowed to run wild? 
As a result of the campaign for the protection 
and increase of elk in the Adirondacks by the 
members of the Benevolent and Protective Order 
of Elks, fifty elk from the Yellowstone Park 
were recently liberated in their new home. Six 
of the animals being driven into the woods at 
Long Lake west and the remaining forty-four 
being liberated at Carlos Clearing, Saranac Lake. 
Motion pictures were taken of the deer by W. 
S. Carpenter, secretary to Conservation Com¬ 
missioner George D. Pratt, of New York State, 
it being the intention to later send them with a 
lecturer to as many lodges of Elks in the state 
as desire to see them. 
As a special aid to the bureau'of biological 
survey of the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture, the third annual bird count of the United 
States will be made this year during the breeding 
season in May and June. The count will be 
made by unpaid observers on tracts ranging 
from 40 to 80 acres. Complete instructions can
