When Mr.. Dyer came to Carson it

A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

What the Independent meant to say
in its Tent City article was that the
summer climate of Elko was like the
winter climate of Phoenix, Arizona,
considered the most delightful winter
climate in the world. The Reno Ga
zette takes advantage of this typo
graphical error to remark as follows:
THE summer climate of Elko, the
Independent says mildly, is better
than that of Phoenix, Ariz. That sort
of boost is pretty hard knock. FL

FISHING PARTY TO-DAY
GOES TO THE SOUTH FORK

There will be fishing party today
on the South Fork. Mrs. William
Doyle of the Commercial Hotel is Civ.
ing the party. She Is giving i, in hon.
or OF Ter guests. NJ. and Mrs Cohcn,
Of ~ N, and of he" sister. Mrs Kidd.
who is here on visit from Kansas.
Charlie Mitchell will drive the car.
Mr.. Doyle will not be along. He

Contact and is having another at Eu.
reka where he went yesterday with
Mr.. McFadden by way OF Carlin and
up 8uclihorn creek. Mrs. Doyle will
have nice mess of trout 10 surprise

That she will get the trout there is
not a particle of doubt. She said so
herself. So certain is she Of catch.
ing The speckled beauties that she can
already see them in her basket and
has invited guests to help eat them.
Everything has been arranged in ad.
vance. The trout will be biting TO-
day even though il is Friday. a fish
knows no better than to bite on Fri.
day when it is fish day. Word has
been sent out to the fish in the South
Fork that the party is coming. So
they will be good and hungry and
waiting for the bait.
If Mrs. Doyle by any chance should
slip up in her calculations then Mrs.
Kidd will catch the trout. She was
born in Austin and is by no means
tenderGoot. She knows that fish swim
in the water all the time and never
come out on dry land to Craze among
the sagebrush like cattle. And she
knows that all you have to do to catch
one is to throw in hook baited with
a worm and pull out the trout.
The Independent has just printed
some pamphlets with the Nevada fish
and game laws therein. The party
should have one of these. They should
know that it is unlawful TO use dy.
Mantle. But is is perfectly legal to
use a RATA and rope the trout. Ali
one las TO do is to throw the string
around the neck of the trout and
thow it when it starts to run away.
The party has no intention what
ever of breaking the law by bringing
home more than ten pounds each.
And little Florence and Bill Doyle.
Junior, will have to stay at home, and
IL they are good and don't miss the
trout dinner this evening perhaps lat. |
