Sam Anderson of Stewart Run
brought in the daddy trout of the season
Monday. 1t measured neat 20 inches and
tipped the scales at even three pounds.
The trout was of the rainbow species and
was taken by Mr. Anderson out of Pit
hole creek, not far from his home. But
this was only baby compared to the one
Sam and his brother captured in the same
stream few days prior. This one meas
ured over p inches and weighed eight
and quarter pounds. The story is veri-
fled by several witnesses who saw the
monster fish weighed and measured. 1t
also was rainbow trout. Many years
ago this stream was lavishly stocked with
these fish and but few were ever caught.
With the exception of chubs few if any
other species of fish are seen in this
stream,
We are glad to learn of at least one
small oasis in this vast eXpanse OF FROST
bitten territory, where the prospects for
the usual crop yield is fairly good. The
Derrick reports that James r. Clark, of
the South Side, has returned from trip
into Clarion county and reports the as
founding fact that neither the people nor
the crops of that favored section of the
earth knew anything about recent frost.
While this section was in the throes of
one Clarion county escaped without the
slightest vestige of anything resembling
frost. Consequently the fruit, wheat and
corn and other crops are just now at their
finest and the outlook for great harvest
is fine. Speaking through the vista of
long years Mr.. Clark states that the old
limestone growing belt of Clarion county
never looked better than at the present
time.
Although the season for game fish has
been on for full week, the market has
not been so oyerstocked with the finny
tribe as to cause glut that anybody's s
heard of. A few OF the wary bass and
salmon have been taken, to be sure, but
the real fun has not yet begun. Bass are
not through "nesting" yet, which is quite
unusual, as they haye closed business in
that line heretofore by the first week in
June at the farthest. However, this is an
unusually backward season in all COM
modities, and unless there is radical
change in weather conditions, and that
instanter, we'll not be short on fish only,
but "roasting ears" as we'll as every other
species of garden truck. It's all charge
able to the weather man, too. But he's
doing better now, having furnished q
number of genuine sizzlers in the past
few days
