A Trip UP the creek.

Having certai n business matters to see to
in the upper end Of the county the Junior
editor started Thursday evening of last
week for Benton, arriving there at 10
O'Clock. Friday a horse and c arriage was
procured and with driver as pilot, we
visited great many friends and patrons
in Benton township; seeing some of the
finest farms that any one can desire. The
grain and hay are in good condition and
will give large yield. The corn is growing
rapidly, notwithstan ding the late Spring,
the indications are that when Fall comes
will be as far advanced as other years and
ready for cutting. Friday afternoon we
left Benton, taking route toward the
head waters of Fishingcreek. We reached
a POINT above Parvin Kile's Mountain
House early in the evening and here met
f. NJ. Everett, X. @. Ent and son and Paul
E. Writ, Esq, just returning from days
fishing. The horse, carriage and driver
were bid adieu, and we helped count the
trout caught that day, numbering 297. The
next day the writer started alone up Paint
er run, TO catch his first trout. He sue
ceeded in taking a nice mess. Plans were
now being made to start up the main creek
toward the head waters. The writer being
inexperienced at catching trout, was not
wise in procuring his outfit and found him
self shoeless but through the kindness of
Parvin Kile the proprietor of the Mountain
House, a pair of large boots were secured
and thus the outfit completed. We might
here state that Mr.. Kile built hotel few
years ago at the very foot of the mountains
and has a fine and commodious place.
Monday morning at five o'clock we started
up the stream. We first walked about four
miles to the first forks, here the party sep
arated, two starting down the stream, an
other mp the one forks, while the writer
and another took the other forks. We
fished up the stream as rapidly as possible
for about four or five miles and here sepa-
rating again we went as far as we could
find the stream large enough to fish. The
result of the days work was about $50
trout. The pioneer of thd party was Mr..
| F. NJ. Everett, who has been fishing these
streams for the past ten years, and has be-
come quite an expert at fishing. Knowing
that unless the streams were restocked they
would be soon emp'ied of the choice fish,
he obtained from the Fish Commission at
Harrisburg this Spring five thousand small
trout, and during the month of May took
them to the headwaters and restocked or
put back part of what he has taken out
during the past years. 1t is his purpose
to put in about five thousand every year,
and thus keep the stream replenisbed. 1t
takes about three years until a trout grows
large enough to be sought for nice eating.
| If others of our fishermen were as par
ticular to see that the stream was restocked
or that no small trout were destroyed there
would be no danger of exhausting the
supply.
