he killed it. Glad that it was a four 
pointer. Glad that it was smaller than 
mine. And the same afternoon, while 
we were bearing the Doctor’s kill home, 
Hank killed a forked horn, within fifty 
yards of the lake. 
We had 'venison in plenty. We hunted 
deer no more. But we camped beside 
the beautiful Blue Lake for three more 
days, hunting grouse and sage hens, and 
fishing. It is a hunter’s and angler’s 
paradise. 
Doctor A. and myself made the trip 
to Modoc County again late in the Fall. 
But this time we took our wives. This 
time we went for geese. This is another 
story. 
PLAYGROUNDS OF 
OUR NORTHERN ALLY 
(continued from page 583) 
may prove enormously profitable to this 
country. 
Through most of the Rocky Mountains, 
there is hunting and, where lumbering or 
prospecting or other industries are in op¬ 
eration, the wild life having learned the 
lesson of fear of man secretes itself and 
is seldom seen. European travelers who 
are familiar with Switzerland have often 
spoken of the apparent loneliness of the 
Rockies by comparison with the Swiss 
mountains. There at frequent intervals 
are seen people and domestic animals that 
lend interest to the view, especially to trav¬ 
elers who are not familiar with the wilder¬ 
ness, and this means the great majority of 
all travelers. 
The genuine outdoor man, journeying 
through natural scenes, has little compre¬ 
hension of the word loneliness so often 
used by the dwellers in cities or by those 
who are accustomed to rubbing shoulders 
more or less continually with their fellow- 
men. To this outdoor man the flowers, 
the birds, the tiny mammals, the trees and 
the towering peaks are company enough. 
He desires nothing more. 
On the other hand, the national parks of 
Canada like those of the United States, in 
the season of travel, are too thickly popu¬ 
lated. It is almost impossible to get away 
from the travelers and to be permitted 
eisure to enjoy nature as she is found in 
these scarcely touched stretches. 
MEETING OF COMMISSIONERS 
T 1 HE next annual meeting of the Inter- 
* national Association of Game and 
fish Commissioners will be held in New 
fork City on Thursday and Friday, Sep- 
ember 12 and 13, 1918, following the an- 
lual meeting of the American Fisheries 
Society, at the same place. 
At the last annual meeting held in St. 
■ ) aul, Minnesota, in August, 1917, the scope 
f the Association was enlarged to cover 
11 of North America, by changing the 
ame and by-laws of the organization so 
hat the Dominion of Canada and the Ca- 
adian Provinces have an equal standing 
1 the Association with the United States 
•overnment and the States of the Union. 
It is expected that the attendance of of- 
cials from all parts of the United States 
nd Canada will be much more general 
lan ever before.
