Fishing Extraordinary.

Mr.. P. w. Norris, superintendent of
the Yellowstone National park, in his
annual report quotes the following fish
story from his journal of June 3:
wishing supply of trout for our men
in the Gardiner canon, Rowland, Gut
ler and myself rode to Trout lake, and
after pacing around and sketching it,
with brush and sods slightly obstructed
it's inlet near the mouth. Within eight
minutes thereafter the boys had driven
down so many trout that We had upon
the bank all that were desired, and the
obstruction was removed, allowing the
water to run off, and in three minutes
thereafter we counted out eighty-two of
them, from ten to tweIty-six inches in
length. OF these forty-two of the larger
ones, aggregating ever 100 pounds, were
retained for use, thirty of the smaller
ones returned to the lake unharmed,
and the remaining ten were, together
with fine supply of spawn, distributed
in Longfellow's and other adjacent
ponds, which, although as large, and
some of them apparently as favorable
for fish as the lake, were wholly desti-
tute of them" Mr.. Norris adds that
his men declared it was not good
morning for trout, but that the story is
as big one as he dares to publish.
