meated with the flavors of the particular kind 
of sewage or oil that seems to meet their peculiar 
tastes. The peculiarity of fish to adopt the odor 
of their environment has been noted recently in 
the streams of northern New York which are 
polluted by the refuse discharged by pulp mills. 
In some of the Adirondack streams on which 
are situatetl these pulp factories, the fish from 
the upper and purer parts of the stream occas- 
ionally stray down below the mills. It is stated 
that a prominent New York sportsman caught 
several fish which had lost their way in these 
polluted waters and invited his friends to a fish 
dinner. Elaborate preparations were madé for 
the feast, but when they were served the odor 
was such that the guests in disgust left the din- 
ing room.’”—New York Telegram. 
DOG TRAINS NOW RARE. 
THE appearance of a dog-train of furs on 
Edmonton’s. main thoroughfare this morning 
(April 4) was a picturesque sight, reminiscent 
of the frontier days, and one only to be seen. at 
rare intervals now. 
The four burly huskies in the train showed 
signs of fatigue after their long journey of 300 
miles from Pelican Rapids on the Athabasca, 
accomplished in the last five days, with in- 
tervals of rest. 
Their driver and owner, a square-jawed, cap- 
able-looking Indian named Alexandre Dezzer- 
lais, preferred to bring his furs and dogs directly 
to Edmonton, instead of leaving his dogs at 
Athabasca Landing, as the average trapper does, 
Dezzerlais, who is accompanied by an Indian 
named Josef, has left his cargo of furs at UIl- 
man’s store in charge of W. H. Jaeger, and 
they will be sold there to the highest bidder. 
His furs include seven coyote skins, six cross- 
fox, eighteen red fox, two otter, seventeen lynx, 
ten mink, seven marten, three weasel, one large 
black bear skin and five moose skins. 
Some idea of the value of Dezzerlais’ cargo 
may be had from.the fact that marten skins are 
worth from $10 to $25 each; mink and lynx, $8 
to $9; otter, $15 to $25; cross-fox and coyotes, 
$3 to $5; red fox, $5 to $7. 
With the moose skins and bear skin Dezzer- 
lais’ furs will total about $500. A great part 
of this he will exchange for supplies, and to- 
morrow wend his way homeward with his dogs 
to the silent places of the north. 
Another excellent consignment of furs that 
was brought down directly from Peace River 
Crossing, 500 miles north, 
floor of the fur store over which Henry Fraser 
is the presiding genius: 
It belongs to a young Englishman named H. 
Pope, of the Crossing, who did a little trapping 
during the past winter as a profitable form of 
recreation. A pile of cross-fox, red fox, lynx 
and marten, attest to his industry. 
Mr. Pope reports an unusually severe winter 
in the north, with many moose ranging near the 
settlements.—Edmonton (Alberta) Bulletin. 
AD INFINITUM. 
D. B. Runoie, of Rock Port, Atchison county, 
tells of the success his brother had several years 
ago fishing in the Missouri River, near their 
father’s farm. He set a*trot line one night 
baited with minnows. On examining the line 
next morning they found the catch included a 
140-pound catfish, which had swallowed the hook. 
When the hook was pulled from its mouth it 
brought with it a white»perch weighing five or 
six pounds, which had previously swallowed 
the hook, and in removing the hook from the 
perch was found a chub weighing one or two 
pounds that had swallowed the minnow.—Kansas 
City Star.
