a letter from w. S. Rowlison, one of
Truckee's crack fishermen, states that the
fish are taking the baited hook in good
shape at Bonner Lake, but that the river
is altogether too high for good fishing. 1t
is claimed that vandals are slaughtering
trout in large quantities in Bonner Creek
by the use of dynamite, and it is rumored
that Fish Commissioner Morrison intends
to institute vigorous proceedings to put an
instant stop to the extreme violation of the
law and to punish the perpetrators.
Clarence Waterhouse accompanied by a
party comprising Miss Burns, Miss Evans
and others will leave next week for Camp
McCloud, on the McCloud River, where
they will institute campaign against fish
and game.
Mrs. George McCa,vey, wife of Assistant
Secretary of State, will pass the summer in
company with her daughters and maid at
the BASKERVILLE cottage on Bonner Lake.
The lady is an expert with rod and gun
and an enthusiastic mountaineer. Two
summers ago she accompanied her hus-
band on a two months outing in the
mountains of the Coast Range. They
packed their camp outfit on burros and
roughed it, RUTHERFORD.
