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

sabre bayonets were made under contract. 
The Remingtons had a large contract for 
them, others were made at Windsor, Vt., 
at New Haven, etc. The original type 
of rifle became known as “Yager,” “Mis¬ 
sissippi Rifle” and “Kentucky Rifle.” Jeff 
Davis Regiment of riflemen in the Mex¬ 
ican War had the rifle—with the newly 
adopted percussion system, while the reg¬ 
ular regiments and other volunteers had 
the 69-calibre smooth bore muskets 
(flintlocks). 
The relic gun referred to was changed 
to fire a cap, and bored out for shot by 
some upcountry gunsmith. The loci ■ 
plate bearing the “Harper’s Ferry, U. S., 
1816” was no longer the lineage of the arm. 
Many of the older specimens of this 
rifle were handsomely made, with flat 
butt plate, slender stock, trigger guard, 
barrel bands and large patch box, all 
made of yellow brass which could be 
burnished like gold, while the browning 
on the barrel was of fine quality. Later 
in the hurry of making guns, a brownish 
stain or lacquer was used instead. The 
Remington’s blued the barrels of their 
model. 
TROUT FISHING IN 
NOVA SCOTIAN LAKES 
(continued from page 461 ) 
(for lack of any other) after my grand¬ 
son, “Lake Malcolm.” 
The camp is an unpretentious little af¬ 
fair, built of peeled poles covered with 
great sheets of hemlock bark, but cosy in¬ 
deed in the interior. A good cook stove 
and two bunks also made (very artistical¬ 
ly) of birch poles, a table and three chairs 
made on the spot of the same materials 
with the bark on, comprised the furnish¬ 
ings. Here Ned had lugged over, earlier 
in the season, some heavy groceries, 
amongst them a half barrel of flour, though 
how he did it “the lord only knows.” 
Whilst Bert was frying trout, bacon and 
eggs and the coffee pot was filling the air 
with that aroma so dear to the lovers of 
the woods, Ned set up and bedded down 
with “browse” a small open-end shelter 
tent which was to be my home for several 
days, for from here we proposed to radiate 
in several directions in search of new 
waters. 
A good supper and a long smoke during 
which we were too worn out to say much 
—then good night! 
Next morning broke bright, and we were 
astir early. After a hearty breakfast we 
paddled down the lake close in shore. I 
commenced casting as soon as we started, 
picking up an occasional trout close to the 
bluff rocky shore. 
The land rises very abruptly from the 
lake and the water is quite deep close in. 
Large boulders in the bottom make ideal 
hiding places for the myriads of trout that 
are to be found all along the shore. How¬ 
ever, they are not ahvays to be caught as 
they seem to be well fed up occasionally 
on something they get in the lake. The dis¬ 
charge at the foot is quite narrow (could 
easily be screened for the raising of land¬ 
locked salmon, as could almost any of the 
lakes hereabout), and runs through a short 
I rocky dell with likely little black pools ir
