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 1s called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
‘THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and varied 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 
of early travel in the West; books which were simple 
and direct, and in which there was no striving for effest. 
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

were never able to produce such excellent 
ts with their apple and pear trees. It was 
after they had been in Livingston county 
for many years that they even attempted to fol- 
low the red man’s example in raising sweet corn. 
It is stated that when the. whites came to the 
county from New England they were greatly 
astonished at the Indian’s garden corn, the red 
man having carefully cultivated it until he was 
at that time securing corn averaging a foot in 
ength. In spite of the popular impression to 
the contrary, the Senecas had reached quite a 
ugh state of civilization at the time the Ameri- 
can colonies were planted. Instead of the smoky 
wigwams the Indians of this locality lived in a 
roomy log house, each containing a.number of 
doors and windows. Although decadence had 
set in before’ the time of Sullivan’s raid, he 
found the Senecas living in wooden houses even 
at that period, and subsisting principally mupon 


grain. Conesus Lake was always a favorite re- 
sort for the savages, parties from the Genesee 
Valley visiting those waters frequently for the 
purpose of fishing, and remaining there for weeks 
at a time. It is to this popularity of the place 
that the frequent finds of arrow and spear heads 
and Indian implements by the cottages is at- 
tributed.—Albany Dispatch. 
OTTER PROTECTION. 
It seems opinions vary in relation to the value, 
or lack of it, of otters in England. Concerning 
the new law the Illustrated News says: 
“Yielding to the clamor of sentimentalists, 
the otter has been added to the list of ‘protected’ 
animals, in and upon the river Thames, and its 
watershed. What useful purpose in the economy 
of nature*the otter performs no student of natural 
history has yet been able to tell us. Bre’r Otter 
is a low-down, nocturnal destroyer alike of fish, 
flesh and fowl. He is equally content with a 
supper of salmon or trout (eating only their 
shoulders) or feasting upon young rabbits or 
fledgling game. The amount of wanton damage 
done by thesé creatures is out of all proportion 
to their needs of sustenance. An otter hunts 
for the love of sport, and kills for the lust of 
killing. Few of his victims are more than ‘sam- 
pled, and many are not tasted at all. The de- 
sire to protect our scarce animals is no doubt 
worthy of public support. But where are we 
going to draw the line? Is the badger, who 
devastates our bee hives, and haunts our rabbit 
warrens, to be proclaimed ‘sacred’ because he 
is scarce? What about those other interesting 
creatures, the adders, just now emerging from 
their winter’s sleep, and luxuriating in a balmy 
April morning s sunshine? ‘The otter does no 
harm to man,’ replies our sentimentalist, but if 
he happened to own a trout stream he would tell 
a different story. I know of an instance where 
a couple of otters, with their litter of young, 
cleared out a £100 worth of two-year-old trout 
put into a southern chalk stream. For good or 
evil, the strong arm of the law has now been 
spread over the Thames ctter. Perhaps the 
‘powers that be’ will now turn their attention 
to the protection of Thames perch. The spawn 
of these fish has, for years, been all gobbled up 
by ‘protected’ swans, who have thus ruined the 
best fishing upon our metropolitan river.” 
Tue County Gentleman takes this view: 
“In connection with our eulogy of the otter 
in last week’s issue of The County Gentleman, it 
is particularly interesting, and at the same time 
eratifying, to note that it 1s now proposed to 
preserve the otters in the Thames, and to make 
their destruction punishakle under the Conser- 
vancy regulations. We have always held that 
the otter is-a greatly slandered animal, and. that 
its’ wanton destruction is due to nothing better 
than culpable ignorance. How much the example 
of those who have taken care to preserve otters 
for hunting has done to reveal them at last in a 
‘favorable light it would be difficult to say; but 
at all events it is satisfactory to find that tardy 
recognition has been given to the fact that the 
otter is by no means so black as he is painted.”
