FEDERAL BUNCH ON
BIG FISHING TRIP

Postmaster Arthur l.. Thomas.
So Curly Callister, "Bill" Sprv,
'Jim' Glove of Provo and
Fussy jimmy Anderson have
gone on fishing trip to Hard
scrabble canyon. When thew
went and when they will return
is not known, for they neglected
TO inform hTc Tribune OF their
going or the date Of their re.
turn.
All of these statesmen hold
federal positions. All of them,
except Postmaster Thomas. who
ls an apostate GENTLE, likewise
hold the Melchisidek priesthood,
which is the reason they hold
federal Offices 1t is expected
that they will talk politics,
rather than catch fish. The fish
they would really like to catch
are sucker Democrats, whom
they would like to induce to
vote the Smootite ticket in the
coming city election There are
more of these, however. in Salt
Lake than there are in Hard.
scrabble canyon, and the object
of the fishing trip is. therefore,
something of a mystery.
