The fish ladders at Grand Falls and on the 
Lower Falls are used by the salmon, for fresh-run 
fish have been taken above the falls. Other lad- 
ders might profitably be constructed. 
Newfoundland sees at last the enormous value 
of its salmon fishery and is determined to pro- 
tect them. The policy of allowing the fish free 
access to their spawning ground to the head of 
the river is a good one and must be persisted in. 
Whether to this shall be added the artificial 
hatching is a question as yet undecided.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
It is intéresting to see by the advertisement published 
elsewhere that the wonderful fish and game country 
which lies in the wonderful northern Rocky Mountains 
is being fitly exploited by the Canadian Pacific Railway 
Company. Aside from the joys of fishing and hunting 
to be found along the line of the Canadian Pacific, are 
the far greater joys of travel through the wonderful 
mountains and forests traversed by this line. Mr. L. C. 
Armstrong, the energetic Colonization Agent of the road, 
has a list of guides and outfitters covering a vast region, 
from which those who wish ‘to taste the delights of this 
wild lie may select competent helpers.. Persons who 
contemplate a trip to the Canadian Rockies will do well 
to write to the Passenger Traffic Manager of the Can- 
adian Pacific Railway at Montreal, Canada, for a copy 
of “The Challenge of the Mountains.” 
There are very many yachtsmen who are interested in 
boat building, and in transferring to models the designs 
of yachts and smaller craft. Such people will learn with 
great pleasure of the mechanical and model shop of H. 
E. Botcher at 105 Maiden lLane,- New York. Mr. 
Boucher makes marine models of all kinds a specialty, 
and his place is full of interest for any one fond of 
boats ‘and matters connected with boats.

FISHING AND HUNTING 
Valuable Territory to be Leased. 
The Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries of 
the Province of Quebec offers for lease a valuable group 
of lakes in the township and county of Matane, includin.z 
Lakes Malfait, Grand Lake Petchedef, Petit Petchedef, 
Lac Rond, Lac Chaud, and Lac aux Foins. These lakes 
are easy of access by a road twelve miles long from the 
village of Matane and also from Sayabee Station on the 
Intercolonial Railway of Canada. 
Dr. Bouillon, Government fish and game warden at 
Matane, reports: ‘This is, in my opinion, and in that of 
hunters whom I know, the finest sporting country that it 
is possible to desire. This group of lakes is abundantly 
stocked with river, lake and gray trout; deer are in 
great abundance, and moose are remarkably plentiful. 
Mink, otter and Canada lynx abound.”
