A~ssemblyman Thomas Brooks might we'll

big stake off Morgan's alton from Jack
Willett's boathouse on CheeseQuake Creek

eight large weakfish.

to get busy Wednesday night and in just
beauties. Tho lake was a trihe milky MT
the float, hut it was clear at the upper
end. and that was where the fish were
caught.
The hest weaxhshing will be from now
until about August l.. After that it will
slack MP for a few weeks. and then we
will get the big chaps back again. In
try and attract the fish by giving the bait
2 slight Jerk. The fish don't seem to he
hungry and It takes a moving object to get

hut the best train service from this city
Is about Q o'clock and then it is about

been suggested. Such z train would ar,
