.ibout Trout-Fishing.

The following rules are believed TO be
comprehensive but if you don't see what
YOU want ask for it. If you don't want
what you see, you don't have to.
In the first place, pick your fishing
grounds. If you can pick somebody's
trout pond you are apt to have better
luck. In this case do not obtrude your
,elf upon the owners attention. He may
have other fish to fry. Trout in stran-
gers private pond always bite better at
light So, sometimes, do the dogs.
Before starting on your trout trip, lay
.ut most of your money on rod. This
is de riger. a split bamboo one with
gold trimmings and few diamonds IN
he Lut will do. You will not catch any
lout with it, but it is useful in catching
suckers, of which you are apt TO do good
deal more, any how When you go fish
,ug you can hide it in the bushes and
borr " bean pole from some country
hoy. Trout are fonder Of this sort of
tackle. UJi bean iJi potrio, is their
motto.
As to flies, don't be too fy-just mus
cous enough. You will need a brown
rain.shackle, an ensanguined ibis, roller
process miller and shooAy. These are to
,lick in your hat. To fish, borrow some
cockroaches from your hotel and few
worms from the above-said C. b. 1t is al
o important to carr, the customary bot
t ed bait on your own hook. The fisher
man who can not await bite with baited
breath will not catch anything. and does
not deserve TO.
In fishing, do not talk. Trout are apt
to resent such familiarity on the part Of
AN utter stranger. Wait and do your
talking at the supper table, where you
can introduce them to yourselt-irled.
crying overcomes their clammy reserve.
Having fished enough, you can engage
the boy from whom you borrowed the
bean pole to catch something for you.
Then resume your diamond-hilted rod
and return to the hotel with it and your
f,h.
If YOU would be the most famous fish,
erman that ever lived YOU can do it very
simply. In telling what you caught, say
invariably that those which got away
we're all small. This may come hard at
first, for every one else will be telling
but you ought to have seen the one

I'M IMMENSE STRUCTURE.

The Illinois Central opened its
$2,500,000 bridge across the Ohio
river at Cairo on the 29th ult. Presi-
dent Fish, Vice President Harrison,
and other officials of the Illinois Cen
trail, were present at the opening.
The bridge proper is 2 miles long,
and the approaches 4 miles long, The
bridge is So feet above high water, and
ITO feet above low water. The piers
are in pneumatic. caissons, and are
sunk so feet below the bed of the
river. An engineering feat was here
successfully attempted which reads
like fairy tale. At this depth below
the river no foundation was reached,
and it was impossible to sink the piers
further. They were consequently
packed with sand, and the immense
bridge is really sustained by the fric-
ton of the sand on the side of the piers.
The bridge was tested with nine Mogul
engines, and was pronounced perfectly
satisfactory. 1t was built by the Union
Bridge Company, of Buffalo. The
The engineers for the Illinois Central
are George S. Morrison and E. L. Cor
thell.

THAT ADVERTISEMENT.

That advertisement of Albany, in
the Oregonlan of last Tuesday, seemed
to contain some assertions that appear
considerably stretched. Yet, if they
are true, no one should object, because
what Albany does is only a small
showing compared to other places on
this northwest coast. And, again,
what she does in the WY of improve
ments helps to push this end of the
Willamette valley further along in the
march of progress. When Corvallis
was advertised in the Oregonian last
spring the Albany evening paper
nearl ly went wild over the assertion
that Corvallis was the head of river
navigation;" no attention was given
to the slurs it put forth simply for the
reason that nothing but an Albany
evening sheet would be guilty of such
work.
