The "Appeal'S' Full schedule C1
As soon as the game season opens
the APPEALS business connection
with the Lake Tahoe Summer re-
sorts assumes a more definite shape
1t is frequently quite wearing on
an editor to 60 round the Lake in
a row-boat, and explain his SEIZED
| ule of rates to the various landlords
about the Lake. We have decided
to fix a sliding schedule of full
rates and charge accordingly.
We have always charged $50 for
the season to locate the big 2O-foot
trout in front of any particu lar no.
tel. Last year was a dull season,
and as no particular landlord could
afford it all the while, they divided
up the trout's time. The Grand
Central, however, hogged it during
most of the fishing season for $50,
which was dirt cheap, as it kept
hundreds of guests there waiting
for the trout to upset boat or eat
up child.
This season the rates will be
higher, but a reduction will be
made to any enterprising man tax
ing it for the balance Of the Sum-
| mer.
The bear stories in this paper al
| ways come high. Last Summer
Mckinney was the only landlord
who could afford to have his bears
written up in this paper. We
charged $24 for each grizzly, and
when a tourist was represented as
devoured it cost $40 extra. There
is always rush to a spot where a
tourist is supposed to have been
eaten.
We charged Porter Ashe $50 for
that yarn in which he saved the
lives of three young ladies. He
paid the bill like a man. This
item going the rounds of the pa
pers caused him to capture a beau
tiful and accomplished woman.
There is nothing like printers ink
to give man start.
We used to get $40 a month for
running vast herds of deer IN back
of Spooner's Station, but when the
forests got all cut down, We had to
raise the rates as the deer story
looked so improbable that the AP-
PEAL's reputation for veracity was
in danger, and we charged an extra
FIVE for the extra risk. That was
about the time that business rela-
tions between Spooner and the AP-
PEAL were rudely severed. But
we moved those deer right over
back of the Tallac House at the
advanced rates, and assured the
tourist, through our valuable col
umns, that the spotted fever had
broken out among the opooner
Station deer, and it was contagious
to the hunter.
The subterranean passage in the
bottom Of the lake, came high
year before last, but the landlords
had to have it. The proprietor of
the Comedian Springs Hotel was
the man who had the nerve to pay
the bulk of the rates charged, and
that's why the eighth wonder of the
world was put within a few yards
of his wharf. He made so much
money by the publicity given this
hole that he took it one night and
skipped to Canada with it. He
took the subterranean passage along
with him, too.
In consequence Of the silver de-
preston and other auxiliary
causes we shall reduce cur rates on
fish, bear and deer for the game
season, but the subterranean pas
sages and fat-footed statements
relative to the utter absence of
mosquitoes about any particular
resort will be at the old figures.
We haye some second-growth,
handmade duck and trout stories
still in stock, which will be dis
posed of at cost.
Notices of big trout catches, such
as we give Judge Rising and Con-
gresham WOODBURY., will be placed
within the reach of all this year
IS, in advance.
