CLOSED STREAMS
ARE ANNOUNCED
STATE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION
SETS FORTH LATEST
REGULATIONS
Important New Rulings Affect Many Dif
ferent Sections of Montana, as Regards
the Fisherman; Open Season Dates are
Changed for Some Lakes and Streams
With the opening of the fishing sea
son in Montana May 21, the state Fish
and Game commission draws atten
tion to the fact that several additional
streams have been closed since the 1926
season ended March 15 and ' that the
closing of some others has been sus
pended.
One other new regulation will take ef
fect July 1. There will be no more fish
ing with salmon eggs as bait. Decision
on the matter having been left by the
legislature to the commission, it was de
termined at the last meeting that the
best interest of sportsmanship demanded
that this type of bait be prohibited be
cause of the practice of some fishermen
of "salting" the stream with a handful
of eggs before starting to fish. The ban
eocs into effect July 1. that date being
set in order to permit the dealers to get
rid of stocks on hand.

MOUNTAIN WILD
LIFE INCREASES
REPORTS OF GLACIER PARK RANGERS
INDICATE THERE IS PLENTY
OF GAME IN ROCKIES
Goats, Sheep, Elk, Deer, with Some
Moose are Listed Among Wild Inhab
itants of Massive Defiles of Continental
Divide
Winter reports to the superintendent
from a dozen Glacier National park
rangers indicate there is plenty of
game in the Rocky mountains this'year
—goats, sheep, elk and deer, with some
moose found in certain sections.
Virtually all of the summer tourists
traveling the trails usually see some of
the wild animals. Hikers see more than
horseback parties, of course, since the
latter make much noise and fuss. Hikers
who fall to see game do not understand
how to look for them, nor how large they
are in comparison with their surround
ings. They cannot estimate distance nor
heights, but soon learn with a little
help. I.
Different portions of the park present
different animals, or in greater or lesser
numbers. Mountain goats are to be seen
on nearly all high summits. They have
been seen on Gunsight pass trail at
Sperry Chalets, at Granite park, along
the Garden Wall, on Going-to-the-Sun
from the Siyeh trail, along the Garden
Wall on the Plegan pass trail, on the
ledges about Grinnell glacier, on the
walls about Iceberg lake, at Red Gap
pass, along the trail over Indian pass, on
Goat-haunt at Waterton lake, and from
Fifty-Mountain camp on the Kipp moun
tain. As many as 15 have been seen at
once.
Mountain sheep have more limited
range, and are much more difficult to
see, as they blend with the rocks and
the foliage. £t Many Glacier as many
as 20 females with lambs come down to
the salt near the chalets. Visitors have
gone as close as 40 to 50 feet of them.
There were daya when hotel visitors sat
in the hotel and through the windows
watched sheep, from five to 20 on Mount
Altyn. Then they went to another win
dow and watched the movements of from
two to five goats on the end of Grinnell.
While deer are not so commonly seen
they are close about camps and hotels.
A great many tourists reported seeing
them at different places last summer.
Since deer are shy and very quiet, they
ma) be passed very frequently on the
trails and be unobserved,
summer coat blends with the vegetation
making them quite inconspicuous. On
more than one occasion an immovable
whitetail, in plain sight, could not be
seen by tourists without careful instruc
i tlons as to just where to look.

range. By July 1 the sheep begin to
be moved to 'summer range in the
more remote and higher regions. Each
band Is directed to its unit with as lit

sistent with the welfare of the sheep.
Each unit must be inspected by the
ranger at least three times every sea

spection must be made more frèquent

to cover 300 square miles of territory,
