Dean Kaye said: THE present
church building is now much too small

After calling for an expression of
the sentiment of the club in regard to

several individuals to give their views
with regard to the time and manner
of raising the necessary funds. Among
those asked for opinions were r. H.
Crosby ]. r. Rurrow, G. k Holiday
and A. B. Quinton.
All expressed perfect confidence
that ample funds could be raised with
in three years at most. and Mr.. Bur
row said that when 1000 had been
raised he would give the remaining
$1,000.
A plan was also outlined for issuing
shares of stock in the cathedral build

sfderation. The discussion was mere
ly conducted as such. and nothing
was definitely determined upon.

means an old FISH or big one; a whop-
per, so to speak. Any Yankee boy who
brings In a "he-one" is sure to be q
subject of envy among the other boys.
Another odd expresison-but this is
not New England one-is. DO not be
a jumping cat" This means. have a
mind of your own. do not try TO be
with the others just so as to have com-
pany. Do not 20 from one side of a
question to the other without reason.

Where Carp Thrive Wonderfully.

Three years ago the government
stocked the Verdigris river with red
carp as an experiment. The fish have
grown, and now in this section OF
the river 1t appears that there are
very few fish of any other kind. One
fisherman caught 600 pounds in a
net the other night. and all we're
carp except about half a dozen.
The fish, which were very small
when put into the stream, now range
in size from two TO six pounds, and a
few have been caught that weighed
~ pounds. The carp have grown
better in the Verdigris than in any
other stream stocked by the govern
meDt.
The verdigris is a muddy stream.
The Arkansas river has too much al
kali in it. and the average mountain
stream of the territory is too clear
and cold for carp.
