into his retreat this giant goat of the 
Hoodoo had to skid! 
His front feet slid off the edge of his 
nest and down he came! 
“Look out!” I yelps, flattening myself 
against the wall and shutting my eyes. 
There was a thud behind me! I turned 
my head in time to see that goat bounce 
off the shelf and go gyrating, heels over 
head out of sight into space below! 
Billy slid down quickly and side by side 
we lay belly-flat and peered over the edge 
of our perch. The plummeting goat had 
passed beyond our sight. Presently there 
came up to our ears from far below a faint 
smack—followed by a clattering of rocks. 
“Falls ruther heavy for a ghost, don’t 
he?” grins Billy. 
“Yeh,” says I hopelessly, “and I reckon 
that fall would bust the horns and hide of 
even a ghost-goat.” 
“I reckon it would,” says Billy. 
Then we started in sadness on our de¬ 
scent to the teepee. 
HUNTING PROSPECTS GOOD 
The crack of the hunter’s rifle will soon 
be heard once more. The hunting season, 
for deer, moose and caribou opens in the 
Province of Quebec on September ist, ex¬ 
cept in the counties of Ottawa, Pontiac, 
Labelle and Temiskamingue, where the 
open season begins October ist. Sport will 
be excellent this year are the reports from 
Grand Trunk headquarters in Montreal. 
Many sportsmen are planning trips to the 
new moose country in the Abitibi district 
of Northern Quebec, reached through 
Cochrane, the junction of the Temiskaming 
& Northern Ontario Railway and the 
Transcontinental Line. In the hunting re¬ 
serves there, moose are reported more 
prevalent this year than ever before. This, 
it is believed, is due to the natural increase 
and to the fact that the moose are steadily 
moving into this new region from the 
more southerly areas. One party just re¬ 
turned from this section sighted in four 
days more than forty moose. Some won¬ 
derful moving pictures of moose have just 
been taken there. In this Abitibi district 
there is also considerable bear with some 
deer and a few caribou. 
In Ontario the hunting season opens No¬ 
vember ist, but an order in council has 
just been promulgated allowing moose 
hunting in that portion of Ontario lying 
north of the Transcontinental Line to be¬ 
gin October loth, and extend to November 
30th, making the season considerably 
longer than in former years. 
The transportation authorities are co¬ 
operating in every way in the work and 
stand ready to give all available informa¬ 
tion to the intending visitor.

Replying to the inquiry of E. W. Hahn 
as to “smellage” or “smilage,” my grand¬ 
father, who was a Vermonter and who 
died in 1884 at the age of 100 years and 
26 days, always called celery “smellage” 
and insisted that it was the same as the 
plant so named that grew wild in certain 
portions of New England.

NEWTON HIGH POWER RIFLES 
deliver a smashing blow anywhere along the line over the longest practical 
game-shooting ranges. The ammunition they use is not only of 3,000* f.s. velocity, 
but it has bullet weight enough to make it effective out where the game is. There 
is nothing else in its class for its calibers: 22, 256, 80 and .35. 
To see what a difference bullet weight makes in energy at long game shooting ranges, 
and in higher energy at the shorter ones, see the ballistics tables in our 148-page catalog,
