That is a big bunch of poultry, and Mr.

the hotels and lodging houses were
swamped with orders for accommoda-

en- up very materially and the first month
Of fall crowds August out of place.

Since 1t became generally noised about
that big trout and many Of them were
being caught in the government reser-
vOir at Conconully. there has been a
steady stream of fisherman headed for
that spot from about all parts Of the
county. Naturally the catches are
steadily growing smaller, for no matter II
the lake was literally alive with fish
the body Of water is not arge enough to
hold a supply sufficient to meet the
steady drain.
