ball team Informed your reporter that
they have practically made up the team
for the summer, having secured four
ball players from out Of town. These
with some who play in the high school

will be witnessed.
Maggie Little camped out all night
near .Willoughby river Thursday night
preparatory to beginning fishing at
midnight. She did not have fish bite
but got frost bite, A large number
of other fishers began fishing at mid
night and by o'clock Friday morning
35 pounds of rainbow trout, steelheads
and salmon had been caught. 1t was
estimated that 100 fishermen fshed in
the river between midnight and 10
O'Clock Friday. Previously for several
days large number of the citizens had
visited the falls at the river and en-
joyed seeing the fish attempt to go up
the falls, feat which apparently only
few were able to do on account of
the high water and swiftness OF the
current. For the next few weeks there
will be fish stories.
