e OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
JUST FISH STORIES

L. L. Denton, referring to the
barrel and the trout episode
spoken of last week in this fish
column, has this to say IN de
tense: "You know when novice
anglers (neaning Percy Morgan
and Larry Kuehne) from Eagle
River come crawling and Just
touch the low places along the
banks of Muskrat creek, the
trout dodge in under the bank to
avoid inspection. No doubt that
trout you have reference to, took
refuge in that cider bar'l because
it could not find ANYTHING
stronger to get into in the town
of Conover. Let me tell you 1t
takes an expert caster to hook a
trout in the bunghole OF a cider
barrel"
E. +. Hayward, Denton's near
ne1ghbor, was down this morn
ing and fully corroborates the
above version of "how to catch
trout in a cider barrel. "

TO ORGANIZE GUN CLUB
local Men Interested in Trap
Shooting Will Arrange for
Formation of Club.

Plans are now under discussion
for the organization of local
| gun club in this village. Men in
terested in the sport are anxious
to see the organization perfected
as it will furnish a healthy, pop
ular all year round sport for all
who join and will be the means
of social intercourse not obtain
able under any other conditions.
The use Of the shotgun IS a
recreation which appeals natur-
ally TO the virile man. 1t cap
lures the heart and demands of
its devotees quickness of hand
and eye 1t develops speed OF
thought and nerves of steel, and
is pre-e,ninently the sport for the
man Of busy affairs.
Trap shooting has a quality
that must be experienced to be
appreciated. There is no sport
better calculated to keep a man
in good physical condition, and
in the best trim for brain work
than that Of trap shooting.
Those interested in such an
organization are invited to be
present at the meeting which
will be held at the courthouse on
the evening Of Wednesday, MAY

BOARD LET CONTRACTS
Dock Contract Awarded to
JOS. Burke for $825---Jas.
White Gets Sewer Contract
for $843.99.

A meeting of the town board
last Friday for the purpose Of
receiving bids on the corstruc-
ton of a dock in the Eagle river
and the building of sewers and
catch basins in the village was
held.
In the letting of contl act for
the construction of sewer. man
holes and catch-basins, James
White Of Eagle River was award
ed the same for $843. 90.
For 1925 90, Joseph Rurkle of
Eagle River was awarded the
contract for the building of a
passenger dock up stream from
the wagon bridge in the center OF
the river. The dock is to be ten
feet wide and two hundred feet
in length, afording docking
capacity Of four hundred feet for
launches. The dock will star t
from the center pier of the bridge
and run up the center OF the
channel with the natural trend
of the river The upstream end
of the dock will extend as far as
the Mcleod boat house. A Aft.
wide stairway, with landing
halfway, will be built from the
dock up to the foot passage on
the bridge
1t is understood there IS some
dissatisfaction over the building
of the dock in it's present loca-
ton, the claim being made that it
is impractical, will damage prop
erty near it and mar the scenic
beauty of the residential front Of
the river. This is all bosh. The
owners of launches are enthusi-
astic over the proposed location
of the dock and It's added facill-
ties, for it is a known fact that
dockage at Eagle River has been
minus quantity and" has with
held much business from the vii
lage. These are facts irrefutable
and we should do away with a
childish opposition to something
of worth to everyone. Be a
booster for heincreasing of bust
ness. Also remember that no
place where the dock could have
been located would have
pleased every individual.

An ocean Wave" Ramble.

That new sinuous motion re-
Gently acquired and now plainly
noticeable in the walk of every
northsider, is caused from ex-
cessive travel over the sidewalk
leading from the north approach
of the wagon bridge north to
nowhere. This ambling gait OF
each individual is defined, as a
"skittish or skedaddle move
ment superinduced by desire to
aeroplane. What this means is
Beyond our ken-but that long
stretch of imitation walk causes
even the genial town clerk to

ear OF any sympathetic listener
