NAMES FOR SALMON AND SEA TROUT. 
Tue following collection of local and general 

names for salmon and sea trout may be of in- | 
terest. They have been arranged alphabetically 
for convenience of reference. Some of the names 
are obsolete, but the majority are still in use. 
Both fish in so many stages of their career are 
called by the same or different names in vary- 
ing localities that it is sometimes difficult to make 
definitions. Unfortunately the terms are used 
somewhat loosely, for, as a Swedish proverb 
says, “A dear child has many names.”

with the yolk sac still attached. 
Baggit—A female salmon heavy with spawn 
(also apparently applied to female salmon after

SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO 
“Bill” Hamilton, then 20 years of age, set out from St. 
Louis, Mo., with seven other free trappers under the 
leadership of old Bill Williams. Seven of these eight 
men are dead, but Hamilton still lives out in Montana 
and still sets his traps. He has written the story of his 
early trapping days and the book has been published. 
It is called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and parsed incidents of the trapper’s 
life. It is full of adventure and excitement, but the sto: 
is told modestly, and there is nothing in it that is lurid. 
Amid much fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
“blood and thunder,” but there is much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes, telling 
° 3 | of early travel in the West; books which were simple 
known to North America; tells of the various | 
and direct, and in which there was no striving for effeet. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one of 
the celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old- 
time trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, 
the celebrated cowboy artist of Great Falls, Montana. 
223 pages. Cloth. Illustrated. Price, $1.50.
