account for it. The pain lasts about
three days. Fish affected by it re-
cover from its effects in clear water,
but are apparently lifeless "a to As
hours under its influence, and only
few grains of the powder will impreg-
nate large pond or will be effective
IN stream for long distance, bring
ing every fish to the surface.
In Germany the law is very strict
against the use of this drug, and
when brewers have been found using
it the officers have turned loose all
the bungs of the tierces and beer
casks and run all the stock of beer to
waste, and the breweries were confis.
Gated by the government.
The powder gives the intoxicating
quality to Roca beer, hence its use.
Fishermen, however, who desire genu-
inc sport in a legitimate way, are
highly favored on Silver creek and al
ways certain of sport and large haul.
The sawdust from the sawmlls and
poisons from the smelters and iiggers
at the mines, together with the ruin of
railroad ties lately, caused most of
the fish to leave Wood River, although
there is yet good fishing here, and
trout of the largest size, as well as
white fish, two feet long, are to be
caught in Big Wood River, nearly
any day. The only bait now suitable
is the whitewood worm found in de
cayed logs, which the fish bite greed
lily. The trout in Big Wood River
are mostly in winter quarters in deep
places, and under lodges or large
logs.
The fare to the Silver Creek fishing
grounds is so cents each way from
Haley, and meals there are so cents
each, with lodging free. To those
who were born tired, the house offers
a good fishing spot, as a line can be
thrown in the stream and ducks con-
stantly flying about can be shot from
, the door. Eddie Hanson took up a
fish ranch there last season, and has
t also millions of fish OH his place. The
pot is kept on the stove, and fish al
ways in the frying pan.
A party will leave HALEY in a day
], or two, composed Of the most noted
E sports, who will stay there until they
a fill one big wagon with trout and white
e fish, and another with ducks and rab
n bits. There is no time to lose, as afte
S snow falls it will be too late. TIL
0 entire country is alive with game, a
there are two beautiful lakes-one il
t the valley and another on the top o
f the mountains near by-each a fin
t body of water, full of fish, and besid,
r thousands of mallard and wood duck
a and teal, while the country swarm
t with large white rabbits, which weigl
:. often nine pounds each, and not fa
t off are grouse and deer. Mr.. Fisher
e of the Merchants Dining Rooms, yes
l terday bought one of the rabbits of ;
e ranchman for 20 cents. 1t was snow
e white and weighed just nine pounds
i He almost purchased lot Of mallart
: ducks at so cents, and has closed
1 contract with the man for the deliver,
: Immediately at the restaurant, of 200
: rabbits, so wild geese, and a load Of
k ducks. The rabbits are very delicate
n and fine meat. They should be cooked
S in California white wine. Trout, t.
/ be cooked properly, should first b'
boiled in scalding water, and hand
!. full of salt thrown in the pot, and ate
y ten Minutes boiling, onion, white
p wine and cloves should be added
is then fry in butter with German mus
Il tard sauce and serve to the gods.
