of the rugged Mission Mountains with 
their eternal snows. Here also one 
passes through the homes of some of the 
last representatives of the American 
aborigines. You can see the Flathead In- 
dians in all stages of development in 
the white man’s veneer of civilization. 
If you are fortunate, the time of ‘your 
visit may coincide with the time of one 
of their festivals when they come out 
in full regalia and enjoy their native 
dances and games. You can stop at 
some of the small cross-roads’ stores 
and obtain samples of Indian handi- 
craft—highly useful gloves of buckskin 
that just wear and wear can be obtained 
at a low price, or highly ornamental 
bags and trappings covered with artis- 
tic bead work can be obtained at a 
higher price. 
HE road from the south end of Flat- 
head Lake northward around the 
western shore gives the visitor a fore- 
ground of shimmering blue lake backed 
by a continuous, solid range of rugged 
mountains, instead of the rolling fields 
of grain to the south. Dotted along this 
road are many tourist camping 
grounds. One can spend an hour, a 
day, a week, or a month, with profit 
at one of these places, swimming on the 
pleasant beaches, fishing in the lake or 
the creeks nearby, or merely basking in 
the sun and feasting his eyes on the 
ever changing, ever glorious beauties of 
the Mission Range. 
If one desires, he can proceed farther 
to Kalispell and thence to Belton, the 
gateway to the Glacier National Park, 
and may proceed on the trip westward 
from that point along the Roosevelt 
Highway, which rejoins the Yellow- 
stone Trail at Spokane, Washington, 
some three hundred miles away. 
THE SALMON AND THE 
DRY FLY 
By Greorce M. L. LA BRANCHE 
A BOOK of narrative and instruction 
for the dry fly salmon angler, writ- 
ten in the same vivid and charming 
style which made the author’s “The 
Dry Fly and Fast Water,” an American 
angling classic. 
Mr. La Branche narrates his experi- 
ences with the dry fly on a Canadian 
salmon river, and gives clear and ex- 
plicit instructions. A particularly val- 
uable chapter in his book is that upon 
casting, which includes specific instruc- 
tions for making the new curve cast, 
both to the right and to the left. 
The volume is well gotten up and con- 
tains a frontispiece of floating salmon 
flies in full color. 
The edition is limited to seven hun- 
dred seventy-five copies, of which seven 
hundred are for sale. 
Published by the Houghton Mifflin 
Company. Price $5.00. 

“DU PONT OVAL” 
The greatest improvement in 40 
years in powder for heavy loads 
HE most efficient heavy loads in 
ordinary powders carry 1% 
ounces of shot. Due to the supe- 
rior progressive burning qualities of 
“Du Pont Oval’? powder it is possible 
to load 114 ounces of shot—11% more—and 
secure the same velocities and pressures. This 
is impossible with any other powder yet 
developed. Get that. 
Moreover, patterns are improved from 5% to 
10%, and the stringing of shot (the difference 
of velocity of shot pellets) is reduced from 40% 
to 45%. And what is highly important, 
“Du Pont Oval’ does not take up moisture 
from the air. This means uniformity in every 
load, every day, year after year. 
What Makes a Good Load? “Du Pont Oval” Makes the Best
