As many counties have elected delegates, based on Mr. Max well s vote, I make the same apportion ment. Yours very trbly, - M. Howe, Acting Chairman.

The white goat, or Rocky Mountain goat, as it is indiscriminately culled, is a species of big game rarely hunted Dy. sportsmen. This is not so much because of the difficulty of killing the animal, nor because of its actual rarity. It is a stu pid animal, easily snot wnen once iouna. It is not, however, found in the usual hunting grounds, as are bear, deer, elk, etc. It is remote from the common lo calities, but where found is in goodly numbers. It ranges very high up in the mountains, above timber line usually, among rocks and cliffs. This requires great labor to get at it, but once there, the hunter will get his t game nine times out of ten. . If vou care to read of a goat hunt made in the Bitter Root range in Mon tana, in the fall of 189n, send six cents to Charles S. Fee, General passenger agent, Northern Pacific j-ailroad, St. Paul, Minn., for Wonderland '96, which recounts such a hunting expedition. Capital Steam Dyeing R. S.
