10000 Native
Trout Planted

During the past week Supervisor
Bushnell has started the annual plant
ing of fish fry in the streams on the
Uncompahgre National Forest. The
initial shipment to Delta consisted OF
10000 native trout. These were plant
ed in Cottonwood Creek and reached
their destination in excellent condi-
ton. The fry were Matched at the
Leadville fish hatchery which is oper-
ated by the federal government This
shipment is part of the fish requisi-
toned to stock the streams of the en-
tire forest. The plan On which the
stocking is based covers three seasons
beginning with 1914, and includes all
of the streams on the forest which are
large enough to remain open during
the winter. About 100000 fry will be
needed
1t is the purpose to place enough
fish in each stream so that they will
breed and restock or more fully stock
the streams naturally.
A shipment was received at Mont
rose last week for Tabeguache. An
other was made TO Ridgway and plac-
ed in the head waters of the Big Cim-
arron. The Blue, as well as Fall Creek
and the Little Cimarron, will each re-
ceive a shipment before the season
closes.

The officers at Paonia have had n
strenuous time ever since the begin
ming Of the peach harvest in that dis
trict which required several hundred
pickers and packers who hailed from
all parts of the world and were so
varied in character that one could
scarcely determine between the man
who really wanted work at good wages
and the man who was simply taking
advantage of the opportunity to pose
for the express purpose of robbery
and other means OF getting what be-
longed to others.
Thefts of various kinds began at
Paonia shortly after the arrival of
these gangs. IT is said, and officers
of the peach town have been kept
active ever since. On Saturday night,
or rather on Sunday morning. for 1t
was l o'clock, another trouble con-
fronted the men engaged in enforcing
peace for Paonia. and this time muir

One OF the most miraculous escapes
from sudden death or, at least from
injuries of a serious nature ever re-
ported in this county was that occur
ing at about 1926 last Saturday near
Saxton when Dr. E. S Corbin and his
wife and V. H. Smith and Edwin H.
Metzler, both visitors here from Stras-
burg, Illinois, went over an embank
ment in the Corbin car and down some
twenty-five or thirty feet into the
North Delta canal which at that point
contained some three and one-half o.
four feet of water.
Mr.. Corbin was driving the car care
fully and at low rate of speed when
making the sharp curve on the Saxton
grade and cannot fully account for the
sudden plunge of his machine with its
passengers TO the big canal below, but
after fully realizing that his auto was
going over he made a leap for terra
firma, thinking to possibly land right
side up and then be able to render
valuable assistance to other members
of his party. He failed in landing in
good order, however, and went rolling
down the embankment and eventually
landed on top of the ill-fated machine
and then dropped off into the canal.
For about moment after gaining
footing in the canal, as l gazed up
on the big $500 pound machine bottom
side up with my wife and two Illinois
friends pinned beneath in four feet OF
water" states Mr.. Corbin, there came
10 me visions of a grim reaper and OF

Paris temporary or the reverse.
