THE river in Oklahoma that runs up
hill, which an item in the Sun told
about" said a man Astounding in lore
of the Susquehanna valley isn't so
odd, after all, as a river that chases
itself around in a circle. That's what
the SuSquehanna river does at an
island up Wyalusing way
The SuSQuehanna is full os islands,
and they divide the stream into many
and curious channels, and the most Gu
rious of them all is the one that circles
around this particular island. The
river between the main land and the
caste shore of the island flows along
with strong current and most of it
continues on down in normal flow. At
the southern extremity of the island
though. a portion of the water sWerves
off to the west and continues in that
direction the entire width of the island
100 feet.
Then it turns up stream and flows
along the west side of the island and
turns again at the north end, heading
east. 1t keeps that course around the
north end and at the eastern side be-
comes part of the down stream current
again.
1.-The current that acts in this eccen-
trio way is never more than ten feet in
width. 1t is so decided that a person in
d skill keeping WITHIN II may pass
round and round the island indefinite
ly without using his oars to propel the
boat
The Susquehanna is the greatest
black bass water know of. and around
that island is one of the surest places
in the river to hook big fellows. It is
the lazy fisherman's place to fish.
He doesn't have to touch his hands
to his oars, and as he goes round and
| round the island the rocky shelters
and lurking places for bass that abound
in just the right spots provide him with
ideal sport. An odd feature of bass
fishing there, however. 1 have noticed
more than once.
In the forenoon the bass will bite
freely in the water between the island
and the mainland. but will not notice
your fly or minnoW in the channel on
the other side of the island Then in
the afternoon not a fish will take your
hook in the main channel waters, while
they viii be up and ready for II on the
side of the island where the current
turns up stream. At other times. revers-
ing the operation, in the forenoon they
will bite only on the west side of the
island, reserving the afternoon for TAX
ing the hook on the other side
Just why the black bass should act
in that peculiar way never could fig
ure out but Susquehanna river black
bass are proverbially whimsical. and I
suppose that this is only one of their

Black Bass Are Queer
Whims of Fish in River

The queerneSs of the bass at Girty's
falls takes form of -contrariness in Bit

even that of the bass in the waters that
chase themselves about that little
island up the river. a few miles further.
Girty's falls is a regular torrent that
sweeps through an opening in a reef
that stretches across the west channel
of the river above Halifax, Pa.

whims. 1t is on a par with the way
black bass act at Girty's falls and in
the Singing Rocks waters.
THE Singing Rocks are near Wyalu-
sing and had local fame for years. The
late John Boyle O'Reilly gave them
wider fame in his story of his canoe
trip down the Susquehanna. These
rocks are near the shore and lie sub
merged. They give forth musical
sounds of varying cadence as the water
beats upon them anywhere.
BLACK bass were INTRODUCED into the
river many years ago, and with the ex-
ception of the waters of the Singing
Rocks there isn't a spot along the
stream where they have not been taken.
1t seems that they simply won't bite
anywhere within the sound of the weird
music of those rocks. Rivermen and
fishermen with the influence of the old
time traditions upon them declare that
the. bass are charmed by the music of
the rocks into entire obliviousness of
anything else. and hence it is utterly
useless to offer them any lure.
"As proof of this Captain George
Swope. one OF the Old-timers, tells OF
an experience he had once with Sing
ing Rocks black bass. The captain
could see the bass lying at the edge of q
sunken log. and evidently within good
hearing of the soothing music the rocks
were sending along at the touch OF the
swift waters The fish was big speci

tice of things, and the way he made
the water boil in the washboiler was a
sight to see. The spell of the rocks and
their music was broken, the captain
declared. and from that moment he had
hopes of having some fun with that big
bass after all.
1.-The bass had been in the inprovised
pond a couple of days and then the
captain went out to see about having
that fun. 1t began with the captains

Shooting on Reynolds Creek.

A shooting ARRAY occurred on Key
nolds creek Monday in which Span
ish sheep herder was shot and in
stantly killed. The shooting was
caused by two sheep herders getting
their bands in too close proximity to
each other. The sheep were owned by
DR.. Noble and John Keith. 1t appears
from the evidence that the Spaniard
was trying to mix the Noble sheep
with the band owned by Keith. Ed
Winn had charge of the Keith band
and when the Spaniard came at him
threatening to kill him, he pulled his
gun and the Spaniard dropped.
w. A. Stone was sent for and repre-
sented the defendant at the hearing
which was held at Silver City. VIM
was bound over in the sum of $4,000
which was furnished, and Winn vii

all are engaged and the association
will add nearly as many more this
year in order to accommodate the In

The track will be in the pink of con
