WHETHER WORN or FLY.
The Main Thing to the Average
Angler Is TO Catch
the Fish.

Indeed, half the zest Of brook
6shingis in your campaign for sin
dividuals, "-as the Salvation
Army workers say,-nOt merely
for a basketful of fish qua fish, but
for a series of individual trout
which your instinct tells you ought
to Turk under that log or be hOver-
ing in that ripple. How to get him.,
by some sportsmanlike process, isl
the question, writes Bliss Perry,
in Atlantic. If he will rise to some
ay in your book, few fishermen
will deny that the fly is the more
Dleasurable weapon. Dainty,
Turing, beautiful toy, light as a
thistle-down, falling where you
will it to fall, holding when the
leader tightens and sings like the
string of a violin, the artificial fly
represents the poetry Of angling.
But angling's honest prose, as
represented by the lowly worm,
has also its exalted moments. "The
last fish l caught was with q
worm" says the honest Walton,
and so say l. 1t was the last eve
ming of last August. The dusk
was settling deep upon a tiny
meadow, scarcely ten rods from
end to end. The rank bog grass,
already drenched with dew, tent
over the narrow, deep little brook
so closely that it could not be
Gshed except with a double-shOt-
ted, baited hook, dropped delicate
ly between the heads of the long
grasses. Underneath this canopy
> the trout were feeding, taking the
hook with a straight downward
tug, as they made for the hidden
oank. 1t was already twilight
when l began, and before Preached
the black belt of woods that sep
c arated the meadow from the lake
e the swift darkness of the north
= country made it impossible to see
q the hook. A short half hours
fishing only, and behold nearly 20
! good trout derricked into a basket
until then sadly empty. Your
dy-isherman would have passed
'e that grass-hidden brook in disdain
lie but it proved a treasure for the
humble. ~

RossRT TAYLOR FOUND DEAD.

Robert Taylor, more familiarly call
ed Bob" Taylor, one of our pioneer
horse growers, aged about 60 years,
and we'll known in Challis and in this
vicinity, was found dead in his cabin
on Hat creek by John s. Altham last
Wednesday. From all appearances he
has been dead for at least two months
as he has not been seen or heard from
for about that time. He lived bach
elor life in an isolated cabin far from
neighbors on Hat creek in Lemhi
county, and it just happened that Mr.,
Altman was riding in that section af-
ter stock when he stopped at cabin for
n friendly visit and found poor Bob
dead. 1t is thought that Mr.. Taylor
had taken sick and no one near to help
him had died, although from appear
ances he died unexpected as he was
dressed aud even had his hat on. His
face and one hand was badly eaten by
rats or mice. The coroner of Lemhi
county has been notified Mr.. Taylor
was highly respected man.

REDUCED FREIGHT ON ORES.

We are advised that the Oregon
Short Line railroad will soon Issue an
order of $500 per ton freight on ores
running less than $1,000 per ton in
value from Mackay to the Salt Lake
smelter. This is the same rate grant
ed Wood River points, and it will be
of great advantage to shippers who
have this class Of ores near the railroad
