Camp on the Gunnison River was clos

last of the cutters came into Denver

that at all times the fishing was fine,

enay in the season the camp were

exceptional delicacy didn't continue
by reason OF the acts of a farmer
living on the river adjacent to the
camp. This farmers chicken ranch
runs down to the river bank, and it
is his custom to scatter corn and 9TH
er grain for his poultry almost down
TO the waters edge. But the chickens
lost out on their rations, because the
trout came out on the bank and car

To prevent this, the farmer put in a
coarse-screen wire netting along the
river bank. That kept out the larger
trout, but the latter. growing wise.
sent in the smaller fish through the
netting. and they brought out the
corn, with the result that the farmer
was obliged to change his screen to
a very fine mesh.
It was on this account that the sup
ply Of corn-fed trout ran out before
the season was half over.
Tie Hon. James W, Kelley and
some OF the other LEGAL lights OF the
Press Club are looking into the CON

LISH-SPEAKING ESkI-
MOS NEAR THE CIRCLE

On the morning of August fourteenth,
in the heart of the unexplored country
along Beverly Lake, occurred an incident
which goes to prove that even the most
sensational happenings of novel are
not beyond the bounds of reason. On this
morning the little exploring party came
suddenly upon an Eskimo village. FIVE
hundr d miles from Arctic water. and six
hundred miles from Hudson's Bay. As
Pelletier and his companions approached
the shore the Eskimo men, women and
children ran down to meet them and
Walker called out "Chimo Chino =
which is. the usual form of greeting
when mtcting these people.
They were much surprised by hear
ing Good morning. in answer and
Walked expressed his astonishment by
excIaiming Holy smoke!' to which the
native who had spoken replied very fer
vently, Eyes, we will smoke The mys-
terry was soon cleared up. Years before
a man called Lucky Moore had oc-
companied Hamburg on his long voyage
to the Arctic coast. He disappeared. and
it was thought that he was dead. In
place of this, however, Lucky Moore had
made himself chief of the Eskimos, who
called him Ameryah, and had gradually
induced his tribe to come down farther
and farther inland. Lucky Moore had
made himself thoroughly acquainted with
this unknown country, and told Pelletier
that in distance of FIVE hundred miles
east ad west there was only one other
camp besides his own. The explorers
found this camp at thu foot of Baker
Lake. In territory comprising fifty
thousand square miles there were not one
hundred people!-James Oliver Curwood

HIGHER ASPIRATIONS.

Higher! 1t is word of noble i'm
port. 1t is an impuls, of tremendous
lifting power.
1t lifts the soul of man from low
and groveling pursuits to the achieve
ment of high and great purposes.
Nothing else will So surely sarry one to
success as will a complete surrender to a
passion for excellenc ito lofty ideal.
This is the steam in the engine.
Tn youth, life looms before US like a
pleasant road running straight to the
sun-kissed hilltop. With years must come
more or less disilusion. The f,athery
palm trees we saw in the distance were
but mirage, and the beautiful castles
we saw far ahead prove but dead heaps
of stone that we must laboriously sur
mount.
But WI must not cease to dream. For
life is such stuff as dreams are made of.
Dreams are the stars of our destiny, and
the soul without them gropes in the dark
and gets nowhere.
This is the difference between the
great and the little souls of earth. The
little soul, disappointed. ceases to dream;
the great soul dreams on and makes his
dream coma true.
Every great soul of man has had its
vision and pondered it until the passion
to make the dream come true has domi-
mated his life.
It is he who aspires highly who highly
achieves. The world over, mans ach-
ievement depends up on his aspiration for
more than his environment
IF his longing be Jealous and soul-deep,
it will express itself in action, and find
the way upward as naturally as bird
takes wing
It will cause to grow within him the
qualities that bring success, as it causes
the plant to shoot upward toward the light,
and as it enabled the eagle to develop his
wings that lift him to the sky he first
yearned -News-Scimitar.
