The summer people up at Green
Lake are promised all the fish of the
lake for their own. as soon as the new
fish screen is placed at the outlet Of
the lake. Arrangements are now being
the United states Fish Commission for
this particular piece of work. The
screen which has been doing duty in
times past was so high that it did not
prevent the Green Lakers from leaV-
! ing the lake and making a pilgrimage
to the Union river waters. After the
new net is placed Mr.. Fishy will have
/ to stay in his own back yard and get
! caught.

F. f. Wiley of East Auburn is the
owner of some rare old silver spoons
that we're once the property Of Deb

they had long been used as they are
worn thin. Mr.. Wiley tells the Lew
iston Journal that they came to the
family of his wife by will SO years
ago. This woman was named for the
| Webster woman who was distant
relative. On the handle of each spoon
the letters ID. W." are engraved. Mr..
Wiley also has a solid silver dessert
spoon whose history he can trace for
167 years in straigh. line. This spoon
came to Mrs. Wiley through her
grandfather, Thomas Jordon. From
him 1t went to his son, John P. Jordon
and then to Margaret Jordon an older
sister of Mrs. Wiley. 1t then came
to its present owner. 1t is more than
likely that the ware was once used II
