Opportunity is Knocking

The extent of the success to be
achieved this year, and most
probably for several years to
come, depends entirely upon in-
dividual and collective effort.
The period of hot air shooting
with the accompanying non-pro-
ductiveness has passed, A por-
tion of the population has already
realized it and have turned frem
the old paths to using their own
hands and brains. These men,
the ones who are doing some-
thing, are the men whoare going
to make pood,

Opportunity is knocking at the
door and is urging every man to
do something and it is gratifying
to see the progress that is being
‘made in different quarters, —

Nature has been kind indeed
this year in giving one of the
earliest seasons on record, and
one of the most favorable. The
farmer was able to work his land
‘earlier and to get his crop in
earlier. The warm sunshine, the
timely and abundant rains have
brought the crops along to a
point where the profits can al-
‘most be estimated. Land that
the seoffer said was worthless is
‘today producing food for man
and beast. Millions of other
acres are crying aloud to be per-
mitted to produce. Men who
will work are wanted.

The prospector and the miner
never got into the hills earlier,
and it is doubtful if more grati-
tying results were ever secured.

‘New veins have been found, new
minerals uncovered and old veins
are being worked. Ore is being

_mined and shipped and more ore
will be mined and more proper-

_ties will be operated. It looks

like the best year the district has

ever had in the way of produc-
“tion, This is because some men
‘have answered opportunity’s call
‘and gone to work. -

A FISHING THEY WOULD GO |
AND FISH THEY WOULD GET

Local Nimrods Discover That There is Skill Required in Landing Trout,
Also in Shooting a Loon-=Accidents Will Happen Even to
Fish=-The Boys Did Get a Few

‘Til catch a fish this time, ori

T’ll stay there all summer.’’ So
remarked Geo. Wall before he
left with Dick Morrison and Bob
Wall last Friday morning for
the lake about three miles east
of town, where the trout are so
plentiful that one can almost put
his hand in the water and take
them out. But George and Bob
had been out before and found it
very difficult to secure a mess
even with lines, fancy baits and
ordinary hooks. It was also very
annoying to them to see other
fishermen haul in beautiful trout
as fast as they could throw out
their lines.

A hard tramp of several hours
through as tangled a country as
one wishes to travel, wet from
the feet to the top of the hat,

and hardly enough fish for one

meal, is not inclined to swell
one’s head over his skill as an
angler. On previous occasions
George and Bob both had similar
experiences, although they were
presented with enough to. make
a creditable showing when they
arrived home, ~~

The last trip they were deter-
mined to catch fish. They took
a tent, blankets, some grub, ete.,
and were prepared to stay: until
the fish were inclined to come to
them. It was a very hard trip,
especially with their big packs,
but they got there and started to
fish, It was a calm day and of
course the boys had the wrong
kind of tackle. The fish would
jump all around them and come
up in bunches and take a look
and then disappear. Once in a
while an accident happened and
a trout got tangled up with the
line and hooks, and by supper
time they had caught between
them enough for their one meal,
There was none to take home so
they resumed their task until
near midnight and caught suffi-
cient for breakfast. The night
was along, hard one, and the bed
was harder still, Geo laid against
a tree until his neck kinked. Bob
got under the blankets, covered
up his head and was dead to the

world until morning when he
discovered that he had slept on a
reat and couldn’t straighten up.
Diek had a root under his back,
and with George he couldn’t
sleep, so they resumed their
fishing about 3a: m. Before he
had breakfast George undertook
to bathe in the lake, but the first
plunge was such a shock that he
nearly lost his life calling for as-
sistance to get back on the raft.
Dick just dipped his face and
hands in thé cool, clear water,
but Bob wouldn’t even take that
chanee, He filled his hat with
water he reached from the shore
put it on his head and as the
water perculated through his
curly tresses and trinkled down
his cheeks he wiped the cobwebs
from his eves, dried his hands
and ‘‘let her go at that.”’

After breakfast Bob refused ta
fish any more.. Twenty-four
hours and only two fish—his time
was worth moremoney. Hetook
up the rifle and tried to get a
loon, but the wily bird got next
to him and every time Bob raised
his rifle Mr. Loon ducked beneath
the surface. ‘‘I’ll fool you this
time,’’? said Bob, and kept his
rifle poised ready to shoot as soon
as the bird loomed up. The loon

came up right in front of Bob’s |‘

raft, squawked and disappeared.
Bob was so unnerved that he al-
most overbalanced into the water
That ended Bob’s fun. ‘‘Any
old time a trout plays with me
and a loon laughs at me—well,
good-night.’’ Henceforth Bob
devoted himself to domestic af-
fairs at the camp.

George and Dick stayed with
the fishing all day, grabbing one
occasionally. They say they ate
between fifteen and twenty. put
that may or may not be. It was
late when they got home and the
two family men had enough fish
for the family breakfast, and as
Dick had no family he had no
fish.

It was really annoying to the
boys who tried so hard, to watch
a fisherman, who arrived the
second day, pull in thirty trout
