summer to keep the range in excellent 
condition, and there will be plenty of 
winter feed for the elk on the Gallatin 
when they drift down from the Park 
this winter. 
There is certainly a lot to be done 
around a place like this, and I am now 
getting ready for the hunting season. 
I am sending you a picture of a 
ruffed grouse setting on her eggs. This 
was taken about June 15th just back 
of the ranch-house. 
Will send you some pictures of big 
game as soon as I can get away for a 
few days.

LOUIS RHEAD at work in his studio 
ATLANTIC SALMON 
I N the work of setting up and paint¬ 
ing various game fish Louis Rhead 
has been fortunate to acquire a 
magnificent Atlantic Salmon, 44 inches 
long, 22 inches girth and according to 
the usual measured scale should weigh 
36% pounds. 
This most beautiful salmon, though 
not a “record” size fish, is unusually 
shapely in form and of much greater 
value for mounting than the uglier 
though larger fish. 
This salmon was caught by Mr. F. 
Gray Griswold, a member of the Casca- 
pedia Salmon Club, in the river of that 
name, in the Province of Quebec, Can¬ 
ada, on June 26th. Though Mr. Rhead 
and his assistant, Frank Oliver, used 
every care in the process of skinning 
this lordly fish, nearly all the scales 
came off the skin, which made it neces¬ 
sary to paint on each scale pure silver 
to get that perfect effect of a living 
fish—never before attained by any taxi¬ 
dermist here or abroad. After being 
thoroughly dried it will be placed on 
exhibition in New York and other large 
cities. 
Mr. Rhead writes: “This splendid sal¬ 
mon was sent by Mr. Griswold to my 
neighbor, Fred G. Shaw, one-time Brit¬ 
ish champion fly-caster who now has 
established a fly-casting school near 
Prospect Park Lake, Brooklyn.” 
In answer to a letter written by Mr. 
Rhead requesting information concern¬ 
ing the salmon, Mr. Griswold replied as 
follows: 
Dear Mr. Rhead: 
Your note of the 5th forwarded here. 
The fly was a “Griswold Gray” 2/0. A 
“Silver Doctor” is the nearest thing to 
•it. Tell my friend Shaw that I took 72 
salmon that weighed 1,852 pounds, and 
on one trip up the river I landed 20 
salmon, 420% pounds in six hours’ ac¬ 
tual fishing (two days). I have no 
objection to mention of name. Sorry I 
cannot see your good work. 
Yours sincerely, 
(Signed) F. Gray Griswold.
