State Fish Commissioner Harris is
becoming "Nutty," If we may be al
lowed the expression. 1t will be re-
membered that the state set aside
$500 for the protection and propaga-
tion of spawn and trout fry at Emer-
aid Lakes. the free use of the hatch
cry and spawners being given the
state by Mr.. Kirkpatrick. In the
spring Wash Patrick was hired to
look after the Emerald Lakes prop
osition. A large quantity of spawn
has been shipped to Denver. Now
Harris is reported as announcing The
abandonment of the Emerald lakes
hatchery and the reputation of all
contracts in connection Herewith.
It is said he tried to appropriate the
money for other purposes. but he was
defeated in this by the auditor, then
he said he would Just throw up the en-
tire business. This is shame, and
Governor Orman should see to it that
Harris comes down from his high
horse or gets bounced. One thing
sure, Orman does not know the real
facts concerning this man Harris or
he would see to it that he made way
for some capable individual Harris
attempted to run some bluffs on the
people in the Gunnison country but
they called him and he was compelled
to submit. The Emerald Lakes prop
osition is the best in the state. At a
cost not to exceed one thousand dol
lars per annum. five million spawn can
| be secured each year. and the fact
that Mr.. Kirkpatrick allows the state
to secure this spawn simply by pay
| ing the necessary expense should
cause those in charge Of the depart
ment to jump at the opportunity.

bride, taken in the regulation way, with
her standing beside him and resting her
hand on his shoulder" The taste of the
young lady in joking over gifts she has
received may be questioned but then 1t
would seem, from her story. that she
had justification if ever a girl had.
There can be such a thing as too much
modesty when it comes to making a gift.
There are two young ladies who have
been friends for years and who are very
talented. One is very skillful a max
ing pretty water color sketches While
the other can make old English lettering
in iliuminations that are as quaint az
they are beautiful. Now the young Ia
dies. being friends desired to remember
each other at Christmas time few
years ago. What to give was of course
the question they asked, the each one to
herself and of her family. In each case
the proud family answered that the
proper gift would be a piece of the
work in which she eXcelled. Yet as is
the way with talent. each girl demurred.
Something after this fashion was the
conversation: "Oh, what does she care
about my work? Why, just see what she
can do?' Yes. but she can't or doesn
do what you can, and I'm sure she
would be delighted But I'm afraid it
looks egotistical.' The conversation
was Indefinitely continued, and only at
the last moment was the final consent
given and the tissue paper and the holly
tied around the original gifts. The gifts
must have passed each other in their
delivery. for the night before Christmas.
at the same moment. two young women
stood at their phones taking the 9TH
er's number. Just what / wanted and
wished you'd send me- each one was
saying. And afterwards 1t creeped out
that each girl had been rather hurt that
the other had never offered her any of
her pretty work. In which instance,
certainly, modesty was carried to an ex-
IRENE.
