Fishing Party Caught in Storm
Find Great Sport Twenty-Five Miles Out in the Ocean But are Forced to Run to Shelter from Rain
 and Wind Storm

Bringing back twenty-eight big deep sea fish, weighing up to 60 pounds and averaging about 30 pounds each, Judge Chas. Finn, Wm. F. Sinclair, Don Ben nett and Earl Wilfiey, returned early Sunday afternoon from a fishing trip to banks off Point Loma, driven into port by a southwestern that sent the waves wishing over their small fishing launch and made the leeward side of Point Loma a very accept able haven.
 But they had had some fishing, fishing that must make every de- ciple of Isaac Walton green with envy. Out on the banks before the storm drove them in they had found the denizens of the deep more plentiful than they had even dreamed.
 As Judge Finn remarked it was such fishing as he would have had made to order. Afbicore, Spanish mackeral, bass and tuna could be seen in the deep waters about the boat like minnow in a shallow. Monsters of the finny tribe would leap from the water after bait thrown overheard. Each line would receive a strike almost as soon as it hit the water and the fish put up game strug- gle, making the sport especially keen. The wind blew a stiff gale and the ocean became danger ously rough, finally it started to rain and by eleven o'clock they were forced to turn and run for the harbor, but by that time they had a showing of fish in the hold that would have been good for an ordinary full days sport. Though taking home a goodly supply of fish to feed upon, the genial proprietor of Hotel Sin cliar made amends to Pisces by
 generously feeding the fish he left behind, while the Judge though moved by the same gen. erous impulse could not be induc- ed to divulge. Wilfiey and Ben- nett are reported to have had E their sealegs in good shape in
 spite of the unusual roughness of the ocean.
 Friends and neighbors were , supplied with fish and join in
 wishing them equally good luck , on another trip. National City

 Judge Finn mentioned in the ? above article is one of Winslow' r old time citizens and no doubt l the above mentioned fishing triI 3 reminds the Judge of some o1 3 his trips at our famous Cleal f Creek.

Secretary of State Osborn has
 returned from the northern part of the territory a sader and wiser man. He realized that he was not intended as a Elks Lodge of Sorrow orator in the year 1912,
 but he is comforted in his sorrow by the fact~that he has company in no less distinguished parsonage than the Rev. J. w. Atwood, bis hop of Arizona, who suffered the same fate as did the popular sec retary. These two gentlemen left Phoenix on Saturday night one bound for Flagstaff and the other for Winslow, both having with them splendid orations on the cardinal virtues of the Elks who have gone before, and both of

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
 AT OPERA HOUSE

The annual memorial services were conducted by Winslow Lodge 536 B. P. o. Elks in the Winslow opera house on Sunday, Dec. 1st at 3. pm.
 The stage was prettily decor ated with purple and white bunt- ing covered with smilax and evergreen, with white chrysan- themums placed at intervals against the green background.
 The stage setting represented lodge room with the officers of the lodge in their proper stations.
 At the close of the opening ex- ercises by the lodge the hall was darkened and while quartette sang Rock of Ages" portiers at the rear of the stage were with drawn, disclosing a tabfeau rep resenting a cross among the ocean waves with a maiden clinging thereto. This part was represented by Miss Cora Cres- well, who deserves unlimited praise for the manner in which she presented this difficult fea- ture. As the name of each de- ceased brother was called the third time by the secretary of the lodge light was shown upon the cross.
 Again the hall was in total darkness and the stage setting was changed by substituting a background of the American flag with emblems of the order.
 After the invocationi by Rev. Carl M. Ross, Mrs. Guy Edward Cornelius sang "Oh Divine Re deemer.."
 As the eulogist of : the day Brother Sidney P. Osborn, of Phoenix Lodge No. 335 B. P. O. E., was unable to be. present, much disappointment would have been felt had not Miss Van Lan- ingham, an accomplished reader, niece of Mrs Jos. F. Woods, of Holbrook, kindly volunteered to recite "Thanatopsis" 7by Vim. Cullen Bryant, which was pre- sented in a manner in accordance with this impressive ceremony.
 After a solo "Resignation" by Caro Roma, was sung by Brother Arthur c. Smith the closing exercises were conducted by the lodge.
 Following the closing exercises duet Hope Beyond," by c. A. White, was rendered by Brothers C.. J. Spellmire and A. C. Smith.
 The program was concluded by the benediction, by Rev. J. A. White.
 The effectiveness of the musi cal numbers was greatly in creased by the services of Miss Nan Brown pianist, and MT Goldie Carrof, violinist.
 The following clipping taker from the Phoenix Republican explains the reason for the non appearance of MT. Sidney P Osborn who was to deliver thu eulogy:
