UK dream of years was
soon to be realized, a*
our hunting party
boarded the Northern
Pacific train, which
was to carry us to the
western part of Mon-
tana for a ten days'
trip in the Flathead
country.
Our party was com
posed of II. It. Arme-
ling. Charles Hodges, Bert Hill and
myself.
Aftor an interesting ride through
the pines, and past the small ranches
along (he Big lilackfoot river, we ar
rived at the town of Ovando and took
quarters at the (loodfdlow Hotel
After supper we found ".Marsh," our
Ktilde, and began mixing medicine for
the big hunt. We Inquired as to the
prosiH>cts of grime Ftich as none of us

horses and three /v tr~
colts, started on the sixty-mile Journey ^—
to our proposed camp
We had traveled but a few miles
north from the village, and into the
timber, when we came to the well
blazed line which marks the southern
boundary of the Lewis and dark Na-
tional Forest. within which t!lacier
National Park has recently been tre-
ated Along the well defined trail we
were continually reminded by the
conspicuous signs posted l y the For-
est Rangers of the warning to all
rain pern in regard to fires
The last day's trip was over a
rough trail, crossing and recrossing
Yourg's creek, up and down hanfts so
steep that we would often dismount and lead the
horses across.
Tie valley at this point widens out Into an
open park of several hundred acres tailed the
"Hig Prairie," which is now fenced and used as a
horse pasture by the forest rangers. At the lower
end o' this pasture the river makes a wide de-
tour around the vertical bluffs, the trail going
over the top. joining the river again near the con
fluente of the White river and the South Fork.
Here we made our permanent camp in a small
open park
For three days we had heard Marsh tell of his
seventeen years' experience In that part of the
country as guide, trapper and hunter, which made
us all the more keen to try our skill on the game
for which we had made the long Journey
On the morning of October 1st. as soon as It
wan light enough to see, Hen and Charles crossed
the river to look for elk near the lick we had
passed the day before Helny. Marsh and 1 went
up on the mountain back of our enmp to look for
goats while Ben set to work fixing up the camp
We hunted along the top of the mountain for
a short distance, when presently Marsh called our
attention to what he thought was a goat lying
out on a point of roeks on tie west sid-v and sun?
enough It settled all doubt by getting up and
walking out Into plain view. We decided at once
to try for this one It was necessary to walk
back a mile to a point where we could get down
onto a ledge which we could follow , or half crawl
along Vnck to the place where we had seen the
unnt '1 his ledge was covered with slide rock
and msde walking dangerous, and it was Impos
sihle to proceed noiselessly, as we would start
roeV* to rolling over the ediro every few steps
t At 1< ;fh we reached the belt of timber which
hid the goat pasture Heiny took the light side
of the ridge, and 1 the left, and we began to move
toward the vpot where ti e ^oat had been seen
We had gone but a short distance when 1 heard

Shortly after, Bert and Charles were wadlnt
across tho stream to camp TI ey had shot a
deer within a mile of the ccmp. and had found a
hunch of elk which they followed until night
Each was unable to find the other and both con
bId#-red it dangerous to try to walk to camp in
the darkness and gathering Ktorm
The following day was spent hunting through
the river bottoms and 'ower bene'es. but without
results enlv a few de^r h -lng s en
That evening w • decided on a strenuous hunt
for the morrow Ben. Bert and Helny were to
go over to Ben's cabin on Big Salmon lake and
spend two days looking for elk. Charles declared
his intentions of trying again for the big bull on
the west side of the river, while I had picked a
likely-looking mountain across the gulch from
where Heiny had shot his goat on the first day's
hunt.
We were out of camp early, Marsh and I both
taking saddle horses We cut out a trail through
and around windfalls, across Marshall Creek, and
by ten o'clock that forenoon were well above the
snow line
While we were yet some distance below the
summit, we tied our horses In a sheltered spot
and proceeded on foot Deer tracks were numer-
ous in the fresh, wet snow, ami on top of a small
ridge I found the tracks of a band of elk. There
were eight In the bunch, one track showing
plainly to be that of a bull, and Marsh "allowed"
we had better try for him The tracks were eas-
ily followed, but as they had fed all over the
ridge, it took some time to find In which direction
they were going. Shortly Marsh, who was walk-
ing back of me. touched me and pointed out a
vearling which was feeding toward us. We sat
down and watched this one whJch was soon
Joined b> another and another, until six were in
sight. The two yearlings came within sixty feet
before they winded us and turned back. We
• ould hear the hull scraping his horns on tho
brush He w :i ; in the background, out of sight
We watched them pos.-ibly five minutes, when I
raw what 1 took to hr the bull, brushing his head
up and down among ti e oranches of a small pine.
1 fired at a point just back of his shoulders. Then
erne the one disappointment of the trip, for the
animal proved to b • a big cow. The remainder
of the band stood motionless for a quarter of a
minute, then broke into a run down the mountain
side
W e dressed the elk and continued our hunt for
goats We were crossing deer tracks every few
fe<t On coming out into a little park I found
one track that looked good enough to follow and
had hardlv gone ten rods when I heard him Jump
o t of bed He came Into an onen spot on tho
! ir1 #-st point of the ridge, and stood looking at
n- over the top of ome dwarf cedars. I drew
a bend on his neck and fired, scoring a clean
n-'v'5 'l1, '■< ond "hot hit the mark ar t a ten
point black-tall buck was added to tin- Ti :t. and
went a loni? way toward repairing my feelings
over the elk.
Tho reunited party had supper together that
evening IVM put up goat, elk and venison steaks
to ori.er After the h'g reed was over and pines
hiU'd. we sat around the fire in tho t€epee tent
and planned a further Invasion of the game -/one
nereis Vnrsl all creek. The result was Bert's
bagging of the 1: r st goat of the trip, and
Charles getting a black-tail buck.
The shooting of Bert's goat was quite a re
mark able feat Up and Ben had just about given
up looking for go*rs and were standing on the
edge cf a cliff looUn.g down at a trail along the
Fide Of the ledge when a goat appeared walking
leisurely. The animal was about fifty feet hori-
zontally and thr«e hundred feet vertically from
him when he shot, hitting the goat square be
tween the si oulders, killing It Instantly Any
struggle on tho part of the animal would have
resulted in his rolling over the cliff, where It
would have tyeen impossible to reach him The
two men crawled down over the flldo rock out
to where the jjout 1.>. nud after much careful
RJCK r«AlN fBOftM TTf f Lftl
work, secured the head and hide ana
climbed hack to the summit.
Our game supply now consisted of
three deer, three goats and one elk.
Charles decided to stay In the valley
with Marsh until he shot an elk. while
the rest of us took a part of the pack*
train, loaded on all our game and left
at noon next day for the railroad
By no means the least interesting
part of this trip was the chance to
view the Lewis and Clark National
Forest, where for ten days we lived
near to Nature, tho only evidence of
man's having intruded there being
the cut out pack-trail and the forest
rangers' cabins. The timber ranges
in size from the giant Norway pine of
six feet in diara
eter tp the 6-incb
lodge polo thick
ets The vivid
green of these,
brightened by
the yellow fall
tint of the asp
ens, against the
snow capped
mountains made
a picture which
no camera nor
brush could do
justice to, giving
one the feeling
that it was good
to be alive.
Small game was
numerous; three
varieties of
grouse, Franklin
blue and ruffed.
Pine squirrels,
whisky jacks,
magpies and many smaller birds added interest to
the trip.
The act of ex-President Roosevelt in setting aside
these immense tracts of rough, timbered country
for national forests, to be looked after by the gov-
ernment, providing a home for the wild life and a
recreation spot for future generations, will stand
as one of tho great acts of his administration.
| Less Lonely Club l
Confident that New York is the loneliest city in
all this wide world, the New York World says,
several men and women have organized the Less
Lonely league, with headquarters at 57 East One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. The purpose la
to provide a suitable meeting place for persons of
refinement and education who are denied homo
life.
L. J. Wing, a well-to-do manufacturer. Is the
originator and president of the Less Lonely
league. His own lonesomeness is responsible for
the movement, which is expected to gather thou-
sands of recruits in New York and throughout the
United States when it gets fairly under way. It
was through a letter to a newspaper that Mr. Wing
got in touch with the other men and women who
fell In with his plan.
"Long ago I realized that New York was a
mighty lonely place,•' Mr. Wing said. "I mean for
one accustomed to associating with cultured per-
sons. At first I thought that through a church I
might meet congenial people. I attended one In
Central Park, west, but it didn't take long to con-
vince me that no friends were to be made there.
1 attended another church in Lenox avenue. The
result was the same. Now I don't attend any
church, but on Sunday Jump Into my motor car
and take a lide into tho country and let nature
preach to me.
"It is tough on the young n an who cares nothing
for the smoke shop or the barroom. The same
with the young woman who must remain In her
hall bedroom because there is no place to go. Our I
clubrcoms will furnish a place for them to meet; |
there will he entertainments from time 'to time.
We have received nearly 100 applications."
Lawyers, publishers, teachers and others have j
written asking about the club, and Mrs. Taylor
has had printed a circular setting forth that "four j
walls and a door don't make a home "
And this from Hood's "Bridge of Sighs" is
added:
Uh, It was pitiful, near a whole city full,
Home they had none.
Kvery other Tuesday an entertainment will he
given, although the club rooms will bo open to I
the members any time. Mrs. Mary 10. Medherry of 1
Fnasonhurst, L. I., is arranging the program. Miss j
Edith North, a grand opera singer, is interested in :
the woik and sang for the members the other
evening.
LONGEVGLS GEESE.
C.eese will live to a great age, and some few i
years ago I came a ross a very venerable goose
(male or female 1 cannot say) in Westmoreland In !
unexpected circumstances. I was walking from j
Milnthorpe to Arnside and at Ganasldi found an j
acquaintance sitting on a s ashore b nch feedini; |
a pet goose with bis«uits steeped in ale. lie told I
me that this goose had bem in his family for over I
40 years and was partial to beer, stout and even
gin. One of the most remarkable records of the
longevity of get se with whi h I am acquainted it

TREATY WW
IS ADOPTED
RECIPROCITY BILL PASSES HOUSE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
VOTE WAS 265 TO 89
Measure Goes Through In The Form
In Which It Was Reported Out
of Committee—Other
News
Washington, D. C.—President Tuft's
Cumulliui reciprocity agreement, sup-
ported by all but a handful of demo-
crast and opposed by a majority of
the republicans, passed the house
i)f representatives Kriday evoning by
vote of 205 to 89.
With nearly 2UU democrats In con
troi, and their action endorsed by
many of the republicans, the bill was
adopted with no amendments and iu
almost identically the form in which
it passed the house in the last ses-
sion.
The bill seeks to put into effect tho
formal agreement reached between
President Tuft and members of the
Canadian cabinet, for u reduction of
tariff rates on many articles and free
trade in many others, across the Cana-
dian border. Added to it by the demo-
cratic leaders is a section whicn
"authorizes and requests" President
Taft to make further efforts to se-
cure still freer trade relations
with Canada, in the form of additional
reciprocal relations.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of a light that had raged in the
house for six duys. In that time the
Bafety of the measure was at no time
threatened, the democratic and repub-
lican leaders, working for its passage,
tonceded all the opportunity desired
by its opponents for debate and pro-
test.
Following the same policy, amend-
ments were admitted in.the house for
almost every section of the bill, and
in each ease they were rejected by
an overwhelming vote given by the
friends of the measure. Ten demo-
crats voted against the bill on its
passage, while 197 democrats voted for
It. As in the case when the bill
passed at the preceding session a ma-
jority of the republicans were found
ngainst it, the party vote being 67 for
nnd 78 opposed.
Representative lierger of Wiscon-
sin, the socialist member, voted for
it, and Representative Akin of New
York, who ranks as an independent, i
voted against it.
Canada Pleased
Ottawa, Ont.—News of the heavy j
majority given reciprocity at Wash- j
ington was received with much satis- !
faction by the government and liberal
members who are supporting the j
measure here. The Canadian oppon-
ents of the pact are now placing their j
faith iu the hope that the United '
States senate will long delay the bill j
or kill it.

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Bak-
ing Powders.
I lie cheap baking powders have hut one
recommendation: they certainly cise th«
purchaser plenty of powder for his inotier
but it'h not all baking powder; the bulk
is made u[) of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. 'I hese powders are
eo carelessly made from inferior mate-
rials that they will not make light, whole-
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage of
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three tunes as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met 1:a king I'owder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer of tho
cheap powders is m^re than Calumet
would b«*.

ing powder like Caiunet, that w at the
panic time moderate it) price and one
