OPENING OF TROUT SEASON.

The season for taking trout in
streams, opens on Saturday of
next week, May 25.
Although the season for fishing
in lakes has been open since the
first of the month, there have been
few people out except perhaps those
convenient to such bodies of water,
and we understand that ice still
covers many of the lakes in the
mountains.
With the opening of the stream
fishing. however, a week hence,
there promises to be a rgular rush
of fishermen Nearly everyone who
fishes is going to have try for
trout the beginning of the open
season, and Western Slope anglers
are getting ready to HE up the
GTnnison Friday in order not to
lose any time.
If a coed watch were kept on
their movements we should not be
urpsrised if one or two might be
found along toward midnight Friday
night, crowding the season.

D VIII. DAHL.

The children of Black River
Falls, Wis, are attending school
this winter because of the pennies
and dimes of other school chill
dren in every section of the state
and nation, whom they have never
seen mol known.
The terrible flood of last Oc-
tober made this prosperous city of
5000 bankrupt in a day. A good
part of the town was washed
away. With an empty treasury a
large portion of the taxable prop
erty submerged and business sus-
pended, things looked dark for
the school children. Then one day
the pupils of Westby, nearby, had
a happy thought. BY collections
of many small coins, about SIS
was raised and forwarded.
The idea spread. Soon contri-
buttons began to pour in. Some
children gave only a penny apiece.
Thousands gave nickles and dimes
The children of Milwaukee gave
$1,6O7.64. The fund reached
S4497.27 and will keep the school
until taxes are available. Aside
from this, s36,596.13 has been
contributed for general relief
work in the flood-stricken city.
The state treasurer, Andrew H.
Dahl, who receives and disburses
the contributions, is by an inter-
esting coincidence, a citizen of
Westby, which furnished the in
spiration for the statewide out
pouring of children's pennies.
