shot, as this has a tendency to tempt 
him to run in to all game that is shot 
at. Better only an occasional one to 
start with, and see that he brings it in 
quickly, at the gallop if possible, and 
up to hand. F 
UMBLING with game is another 
fault, also pottering while questing 
for game. Personally I have no use 
for a slow pottering worker. Dash 
and courage is required of a spaniel if 
he is to be a high class working dog that 
can be worked in all kinds of weather 
and in difficult cover. If following a 
live foot scent, the command, “gone 
away” should be given. The com- 
mand “lie on” to encourage him to 
quest for game. “Seek dead” when 
you want him to quest for dead 
game, the whistle to keep him within 
gun range. The fewer commands used 
the better, as there are less chances of 
your dog misunderstanding them, and 
the check cord should not be used except 
as the last resort to get results. The 
whip is handy around the kennels, but 
is useless for training purposes. Use 
the playful method and never let a 
young dog lose your confidence. Span- 
iels, like all other animals, are not born 
alike. Therefore, different methods 
have to be used as the occasion arises 
to get the best results. 
HAVE shot over the different vari- 
eties of spaniels but think the Clum- 
ber spaniel the easiest to handle, and 
the English Springer perhaps the hard- 
est to handle, but when thoroughly 
broken, he is the dog best suited to this 
country, where all kinds of game, in- 
eluding both upland and waterfowl are 
shot over the same dog. 
Spaniels will be used extensively this 
coming season in every State and ina 
few years may become the most popular 
hunting dog in America. 
B. C. Hunting and Trapping 
Conditions 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
AM glad to inform you that I have 
much to say about this section of the 
country. My partner and I surveyed 
the east wing of our line last week, 
built a cabin, trap houses, ete. I found 
the country well stocked with game, 
and due to an early fall of snow, we 
were able to see signs of fur—a fair 
amount of marten, lynx, weasel and co- 
yote. Bear signs were frequent, but at 
this time of the year the bear are found 
close to their dens, on the north slope 
of the mountains. After this run, we 
took packs and went west, surveying 
trails and routes, making permanent 
camp at the head of a lake, situated 
on a high plateu. Your letter head is 
a true picture of our camp. We built 
a large cabin here, and blazed our lines 
In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you, 
in three directions. While at this cari 
one foot of snow fell, making it very 
hard to get our supplies in. On this 
wing of our line we found lynx tracks 
very plentiful. One night a lynx came 
within ten feet of our tent. The tracks 
of cougar, marten, weasel, wolf, and 
coyote were seen, while in the lake we 
have muskrat and beaver. I spent a 
day “hunting for the larder,” bagging a 
large buck not far from the cabin, (the 
.250 Savage doing the job.) I ran 
onto the tracks of five bear during the 
day; they were all heading toward the 
northern slope of a rugged steep moun. 
tain that forms the east wall of the 
valley of the “South Fork.” Huge 
slides are seen along this mountainside 
where the grizzlies feed in the spring, 
My partner knows the country thor- 
oughly and he showed me where he say 
seven large grizzlies last spring. — 
took a snapshot of the mountainside 
where the grizzlies and smaller beat 
have their dens. If the picture turns 
out well I will send it to you. We still 
have one cabin to build, supplies te 
pack in and game to get for the othe 
cabins and the trapping season is bu 
a few days away. I come down to th 
wagon road every two weeks to get the 
mail, otherwise we are thirty miles i 
the mountains from the closest ranch 
We are leaving to-morrow for the 
southernmost end of our line where 
“shelter cabin” will be built; from ther 
we will work three high basins, cross 
ing the 8,000 foot summits that sepa- 
rate these basins. Our line will be from 
75 to 85 miles long, counting branch 
lines. We will have five cabins in th 
mountains, with my partner’s house 
for headquarters. Mountain goats are 
found in fair numbers throughout most 
of the summits we cross. I will bh 
able to submit some photographs and 
stories as soon as you have a place fol 
them in your journal. My camer 
works overtime when I get on the 
8,000 foot summits, where, lying befor 
you are miles and miles of timbere¢ 
valley and rugged peaks, sign of mal 
is seldom seen, but wild life is found ir 
abundance. I am very sorry that I wa 
too late to bag a grizzly this fall, bw 
next spring I’ll have the time, and 
know, not one, but a dozen, valley: 
where I’m certain of getting a shot at ¢ 
grizzly. 7
