assuring entrants prize draws
will soon take place,

Several people claim they
caught prize-winning fish in the
Terrace Hotel’s first annual
fishing derby, but never receiy-
ed any prize money.

Local resident Frieda Dams
said she believed the 62-lb
salmon she caught last August
qualified her for first prize in
the women’s division. “I called

were just unreceptive to my

Donald Gillanders said his

wife caught a large steelhead.
