WE'LL AUTHENTICATED FISH
STORY.
Fishy But Guaranteed Straight.

A party of jackson pleasure seekers,
comprising VIM. Hess, A. j. LAYER
one, NJ. Bruce and A. M. Ham brio
got back late last week from an ex.
cursion of nearly two weeks to Silver
lake. They brought back, besides 6
quantity of delicious trout, the most
remarkable fish story of the season.
1t was received at first as a Joke, but
the earnestness with which all con-
cerned vouch for its genuineness, and
resent any intimation of a manu-
featured yarn, has convinced most OF
narrative.
William Hess the hero of this
historic romance, is the possessor OF
valuable gold ring, having gold
quartz setting. He prizes the piece
of jewelry highly. 1t has acquired a
habit of trying to slip away from the
possession of it's owner. Twice
before the escapades we are about to
relate it had figured in the "Iost'
and found" columns. He looks
upon it as of talismanic Importance.
Of course he took it with him on
his mountain trip. And the first day
out he managed to get parted from
his mascot. This was at Pine Grove.
In feeding the horses, the ring is
supposed to have slipped from his
finger. At any rate, he picked up the
jewelry from under the horses stall
the next morning. With this as a
starter, the tourist travelled on to the
lake without further misadventure.
About the second day after reaching
the lake, Hess started fishing in the
early morning from high rock near
PIasse's. Thereafter his historic
ring was truant again. He thinks 1t
slipped from his finger into the
water. Ali the members of the party
had knowledge of the loss. Some
hours afterwards Hess and Hambrlc
were fishing on the same streamlet
300 yards or more above the point
where the ring was lost. They pulled
out the biggest fish of the catch. 1t
fell off the line, but enc of the
anglers grabbed it as it struck the
water. The catch complete, all
hands started to clean fish, Hess
grabbed for the big one. Cutting it
open his knife ran against something
harder than flesh or bone. The
Identical ring was found in the fish's
stomach, quartz setting uninjured.
There was no doubt it was taken out
all right-alI witnessed that. This
particular trout was about IA inches
long, and weighed in the neighbor-
hood of one pound. How its NAV
could take IN a ring of the Hess
dimensions is as much a puzzle as
the old old story of Jonah and the
whale. But the boys are willing to
make aftidavits to the main facts
given. The only missing link Is that
no one saw the fish in the act of
the gold trinket

Damaged by Snow.

A report was current that the Kirk
wood building on their mountain
range in Alpine county had been
broken into and damaged by vandals.
during the past winter. This it seems
from more definite news. is incorrect.
The damage was caused entirely by
the unusual accumulation of snow.
Some of the buildings were leaning
south, fully foot out of the per-
pendicular. 1t was expected that it
would take all the hands that could
be mustered several days to restore
the crushed buildings to normal
condition.

No FIShWay.

Parties who have been to Silver
lake this season report condition of
affairs at the dam there that calls for
prompt action on the part of the fish
commission. The state law enjoins
upon all owners of dams not only to
construct, but also maintain in
efficient condition, a fish ladder.
The ladder at Silver lake dam is miss
ing altogether, or is in such shape
that it is useless. Thousands of trout
are said to be swarming III the pool
below the dam, and would return to
the lake, but cannot because their
means of ingress has been cut Oft.
The fish go over the dam into the
lower streams early in the season,
and as the water fails later in the
season, they ascend the streams and
return to the lake. If prevented
from so returning most of them must
perish The Ell Dorado Company
owning the dam will no doubt remedy
this defect as soon as the matter is
brought to their attention.
Later reports are to the effect that
the fish ladder was broken down by
the food waters in the early spring
This is not an unusual occurrence.
While the water is high it is imposs-
ible to repair it, but as soon as the
water will admit the ladder Will no
doubt be placed In working con-
ditinn

Fishing Party Returned.

Theo. Croker and wife, G. Il
Croker, l.. Lamb and Herbert Meek,
returned Sunday morning from their
camping trip of six days. They went
clear to Silver lake, finding that fish
ing was not good in the streams lower
down. At Hams station their horse
broke down, wind broken by the high
altitude, and they had to borrow
another to take them on to the lake.
They saw tracks of bear, but none of
the king beast of the forest was seen.
They caught sight of a mountain
lion. Fishing was excellent in all
the streams emptying into the lake,
In all they captured between 40 and
5o dozen-suttjcient not only to satisfy
their own appetites, invigorated by the
mountain air, but also to bring home
some ten dozen of the speckled
beauties to distribute among their
friends. They had a thoroughly en-
Joyable trip. At Ham, station thew
found their disabled horse had fully
recovered his breath, and he made
the home run from there without
further protest. The Ledger acknow-
Lodges with fear and trembling the
receipt of fine mess of trout as the
result OF this trip, remembering the
dear deer case" of not long ago.
Perhaps, they have struggled some
thing into our fool game laws against
editors enjoying at any season noun
tain trout not actually caught by
them. If so we own square up 10 the
line this time, and are ready to go to
Jail for the offending.

Meeting of Republican Committee.

The republican county central COM
mittee has been called to meet in
Suffer Greek tomorrow, Aug. 4, to de-
eide upon the time for holding the
county convention for the nomination
of county officers. Opinion is divid
ed as to the ACCESSIBILITY of an early
or late convention. Office holders
who expect to be renominated natural
ly wish the nominating body deferred
as late as possible. They can cleo
tioneer beforehand just as eTectually
as they can afterward. But with new
men it is different, and the republican,
ticket will be composed mostly of
new material. To them, it looks like
handicap to have their opponents
button holing voters, and exactlng
promises weeks ahead of their being
placed In position to definitely
rustic in their own behalf. Whether
the delegates to the state convention
shall be elected by the regular county
convention, or separately is also a
matter to be decided. As there are
five delegates to be selected, it seems
to US the simplest way, and the plan
that will cause The least friction, is
to keep this issue apart from the
county ticket question, and let each
township elect one delegate by direct
vote at primaries called for that pur-
pose.

Six steps it may have been, or

With sighs and groans, we fun bIed

For shoes and such etceteras that

The frost was on the drowsY corn

The moon still lit the silent vault

Look over the pansy beds, whether in

This is the season to root the chrys-

best. Any variety of which an increase
is needed should be pushed now.
a person with very little greenhouse
space should manage to have a few
sweet peas. Sow few seeds in three

around a post or some other support in

Preparations for seed sowing in the
way of suitable flats, pans, etc, should
now be made. The gardeners duties in

any means to facilitate work at that
season should be considerable
