q to whether he had caught fish or

w. R. SMILEY CATCHES ID POUND TROUT
Noah Oliver, Chief Navigator Burre and W. T. Garrett
Had to SHOW the Gentleman From Missouri, Who is
Now Ready, However, to Believe Any Old Fish Story

A fishing party composed Of Judge
Oliver. David Burrell, w. T. Garrison
and W. r. Smiley. the latter tive
from Marssyille. Mo-, went up the river
in a ilat-boat Wednesday after some
monster trout, and, according to reports,
made record catch.
Mr.. Garrison WAS here early in the
spring and was taken to Rock creek by
Oliver and Burrel. where he succeeded
in landing four-pounder. Mr.. Gar
rison is known as being both modest and
truthful. but when he returned and told
Mr. Smiley Of catching a four-pound
trout. the latter expressed a strong de.
sire 70 be Shown. So when Mr.
Garrison decided to pay another visit TO
American Falls, Mr.. Smiley decided to
accompany him. They arrived last
week, and almost before the dust of
travel was brushed away MIR. Smiley
proposed fishing trip. because. he
said, he wanted TO catch four pound
trout so that his confidence in Garrison 5
veracity would be fully restored. He
was told by Oliver and Burren. how
ever. that they had no time to waste on
anyone whose aspirations did not sur
pass the four-pound limit, but that
when they got ready for an outing he
might go along to catch bait and string
the fish.
Wednesday morning they decided to
go. Smiley unpaeked fine steel rod
which he had brought all the way from
Missouri. Oliver, Burrell and Garrison
each carried bamboo long enough and
almost large enough for telephone poles.
and guaranteed to hold the largest trout
IN the river. Proceeding up the river
for about a mile they arrived az
fishing reserve which Judge Oliver
claims as his own by right of discovery.
where no fish weighing less than five
pounds is permitted to remain. Here
they dropped anchor in mid-stream. and
Oliver, Burrell and Garrison caught SO
many they soon had to stop, having so
near the limit, twenty pounds, that an
other bite might subject them to
heavy fine for exceeding the limit.
Meantime Smiley was whipping the
water into foam with his steel rod but
getting not bite. Whats the mat

away that toy, replied the Judge. ''and
