ONlYt JM 111 10 AMONG ALL SIXES PRICE OFFERS OF IS (By LORIN HALL) It was Joe Skinner who first told me about salmon runnin' up the Sacramento river and how to angle for them. He said as how he ketched a with a spinner baited with pig's liver. In camp he told nie about the cougar and how it killed sheep by striking 'em dead with Its forepaws. ... He recited interesting stories of war days, When with Rooses velt he joined the and helped lick the stuffln' out of the Cubans. Joe lives In Beaver, a thriving town In the Rockies, where a giant range smiles down from timbered heights, and where deer and trout make their permanent home. It doesn't matter how I happened to be In Beaver, but I was there. It was a bright Sunday morning in, June. Folks in Beaver are peaceable, religious, thrifty and loyal citizens. It isn't exactly proper to go fishin' on the Sabbath. I guess I'm an outlaw, because Sunday always did appeal to me from a fishing standpoint. The only limit of trout I ever did catch was on Sunday, but that Is not the story., As I said, it was Sunday morning! Coming down the road, fishing-pol- e in hand, a nose-ba- g slung across his shoulder for a creel, was this man Joe Skinner. . I watched hini three blocks away. His step was soldierlike; his body erect, his hat cocked a wee bit back and on one side, spoke I knew right away from volumes. the general appearance of the man that he was keyed up to fishin' fever heights, else he wouldn't be hit-tithe road so early. He passed the home of Geo. Cock-etwho Is preeminently the best fisherman In town, except, of course, me! Cockett was oiling his" new Pflueger reel, while his boy Ted was busy soaking some new leaders. "Mornin' Joe," I heard Cockett Joe say, "which way and what?" hesitated and tunned facing the pair:. "Wilden's pond and trout," said Joe in a clear voice. "Hun?" snapped Cockett. "Don't tell me you've gone nutty! Why, I fished that last night and caught nothing but measley carp." "Well, I'm not nutty or I'd live in a tree," said Joe. "I'm goln' after three or four real fish!" "You ain't askln' me to go along?" interrogated Cockett. "Did yuh hear me ask you?" Joe shot back banteringly. "Well, don't. I'd hate to hurt yo' feelin's by refusin' savvy." "Say, feller," shouted Joe sarcas. tlcally, "I've got np feelin's no more since I let the Pumpkintown crowd beat me to them rainbows in Kent? Lake. Why, I could have had that prize fish if I hadn't been so considerate. Me? I'm hardboiled from now forward." "Well," smiled Cockett, good for the men were the best of friends, "good luck, and when yo' arm gets tired castin' a fly across Wilden's Pond waters, come on up to Puffer Lake where fishin' Is fishin'." The conversation was intoxicating to a lover of rod and line. Joe came on down the street where I stooi witing. My outfit was ready, but my destination was as yet unknown. I might fancy bass from the reservoir. It might turn to stream fishing for brook trout, or eastern brook from Lake Beaver, and I might go to Kents; What a variety and what a range! "Hello," shouted Joe as he came "I see I'm not the only nut along. in town." "Yeah," I said. "I'm just debatin.' which of the many places I'd go today." "Listen," he said, pulling mp arm and taking me around the corner and into an alley. "Wilden's Pond ain't far. I've got a tip, and got It straight. Four or five big trout were washed down by the rain last week, and when the Beaver overflowed, they were left in the springwater " "Alive?" I asked. "Sure! Say, you know It don't bother fish in a flood like that'n mostly murkey water, no mud nor rocks." Well," I hesitated, "what you suggestin'?" "I'll take you down there with me unless you got a better place in mind," he said. "I'll go," I said, "if the trout are there we might get one." I had never seen Wilden's Pond. To my dying day I will never forget its appearance. The pond is almost an exact circle, about yards in diameter. The forest hiding it from the eyes of the curious, was untouched by ax or fire. The n water had a magnlflcient setting, In which the pines were .mirrored.

There were no boats tied to the sapplings near the water edge and it was evident that the surface had never been ruffed by keel of or raft of logs simply a perfect heaven, undisturbed. . "This is it!" Joe almost whispered as he pointed out a deep blue hole against the eastern shoreline. "Right over there Is where they'd ought to be." The words had scarcely died on his lips when the water was seen to rise over yonder; the bubbling and breaking followed, as If a geyser were about to play, or a Fishermen will at once explode. know what I mean when I say that the water simply boiled.

My gracious!" said Joe But I couldn't say. anything, I studied the surface for severs' mlnutese to try and find out what kind of a fly or bug caused the hip In order 'en to Imitate a back-floto select from my generous supply of lures and flies, just the thing to suit their taste. While this search went on, Joe jointed his bamboo pole: strung on the line and without as much as a word to me, looped a peculiar, yet gaudy fly, onto his leader. I had never seen a . fly like thi?

There is a sort of a "gentlemen'fj red-flann- el agreement" about Beaver waters that no person who belongs to the Fish and Game club, and who consider;; his reputation, will ever take a trout on anything but a fly. Of course, an uncultured trout, perfers bait; am', fishermen from the lower valley;; and the railroad, often Indulge them with their primitive taste for angleworms or grub. However, no member. of the aforesaid club will cast anything but a fly, unless, of course, he is alone and far back in the woods. e, e.

We now have agricultureal schools and opportunities for agricultural vocational training which were not available a generation ago.
