How a Girl Became a Member
of the Sierra Fishing Club
BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS DART

BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS DART
w HEN I was about years old
w went with my parents to a camp
in the Sierra Nevada mountains on a
beautiful lake. 1t was very wild in
those parts Of the woods and the dense
forest came down to the edge Of the
water.
The camping party consisted Of my
mother. father, two ladies, two gentle
men and red setter dog named Irish.
He was a very peculiar dog and had
unusual traits for setter, as it is
known that they are not especially fond
of water. He would stand for hours in
the lake and fish Once in while he
would get small fish by giving a snap
and ducking his head. He would show
it to every one and after receiving
Z sufficient praise would go and bury it in
some safe place until his hunger would
tell him to get it.
The men, too, were great fishermen.
They would go out in the launch or
rowboat and stay all day. They would
come home tired and hungry, some
times with fish. sometimes empty
handed, but they always had plenty Of
stories about "that big bass that must
have weighed six pounds" and how it
get off the hook some way before they
had time to pull it In.
They had every sort OF tackle and
but they would say: What would
little girl like you do out In boat all
day, hardly daring to move? Besides,
you could not land a bass If one did
get on your hook" SO was obliged to
stay at home.
One day after they had gone found
an old fishing pole and line in the rear
OF the camp. After securing nice fat
worm cast my line off the little dock
that entered the water in front of the
camp and waited for bite. After my
patience was nearly gone the line began
to pull 1t pulled so hard that I was
nearly jerked off the dock, but played
1t as I had seen my father do, and
slowly pulled 1t to and fro until I had
reeled in most of my line; then, with a
swing, Mr. Fish was Tapping helplessly
on the dock. My mother was watching
me from the piazza and hurried down
to me, but I had already gotten the fish
off the hook and was holding 1t at arms
length.
was very proud Of my capture and
could hardly wait for the men to come
home. Their luck had been poor and
they were in no pleasant frame of mind
when they did return. as they did not
bring back a single. fish. and said they
did not believe that there were any
more fish In the lake.
While they were talking slipped out
of the room and returned. bearing my
prize, my nearly three pound bass How
the men stared and how happy / was
when they told me that they guessed
that they would take me along on their
next trip.
My bass was cooked for supper and
was promptly elected a member of the
camp fishing club

that such news Is not essential to the
success of newspaper he said was
shown by the experience cited.
THE growth of scnsationalism in
newspapers has been fought every inch
Of the way by conscientious editors"
he said. "They have opposed It as bit
on the inside that workers In news
paper Offices are disguised with nu1h
that they feel they are compelled to
print. In many Instances the newspA-
per has become perverted by the read
ing public through demand for sordid
details of crime and disaster. One of
the chief needs of the age is to effect
n reform which will bring newspapers
back to their natural function.
TT has been demonstrated that clean
and Just newspaper can be successful.
and our aim has been to prove that to
other papers and win them over to that
ideal.
.'In planning we realized that our
paper had to stand solely on its merits:
1t had to sell on its intrinsic worth. 1t
had to be a business success before
to find n field for itself and I'LL It. 1t
had absolutely to get away from the
methods Of papers which attempted to
be such n paper and failed.
1.-THE paper of the idcalist must be ac-
curate. but not dull: wholesome but in
tcresting, and must ignore no. legiti-
mate news of the day. Its sporting and
financial pages must be as reliable as
its editorial department.
ION the platform of the Golden Rule
our paper was started. The aim was
to look for the good In everybody and
everything, and not the seeming evil.
