Little boys had no difficulty in gathering gath-ering up fifty to sixty fine, fat trout In a short while, she was told, In the one camp named she i herself saw sixty handsome trout piled up. the result of a few minutes' work on the part of the family owning them. The fish were simply suffocated and when picked up were dead. .
