Editor Forest and Stream: I send you by mail a sample of the kind of tip-up thatI use in fishing through the ice, a sport I very much are the best for all round kinds of weather of any Ihave ever seen or used. They are simple, durable and can-not get out of order. The loop on the hook enables one to. take the hook off the line when through fishing, and therebyto wind up the line without rusting the same by contact withthe hook. After finding the depth of water with the sound-ing lead, the loop on the line is affixed, thus bringing thebait at the right distance from the bottom, and always show-ing just how deep the water is.

He says that precau-tions have been taken to prevent its recurrence, and that anysuggestions made by those interested in the lake will be ac-ceptable to the. company.
