RAINBOW TROUT BITE
WORKERS ON RAILROAD

ANCHORAGE. Aug. 6.-In a small
creek that crosses the right-of-way OF
the government railroad 100 miles
north of Anchorage. and that flows
into the Susitna river. the trout are
so tame they feed out OF the hands OF
the railroad workers. Not only do
the fish greedily devour any suitable
food given them, but they bite the
ends OF the fingers of the donors when
the supply of edibles is exhausted.
The bank of the creek was the site
of construction camp when the rail.
road was building in that section, but
only a bridge. building crew, consisting
OF about twelve men. is stationed
there now
The timekeeper is Grant kruetter
1t was he that first made friends with
the trout and gained their confidence
by feeding them-in the beginning by
throwing salmon eggs into the water,
anu tHtn, as the HSn rduualIy became
holder, by approaching them closer
and closer with the food in his hand
until finally they would take the eggs
from between his fingers
Persons feeding the trout kneel on
two logs that span the creek Under
one end of this improvised bridge
there is a deep. quiet pool, which
seems to be the home OF twenty or
thirty fish, ranging in length from
about eight to eighteen inches. The
trout are of the rainbow variety, and
they rush to the surface as soon as
a hand is thrust into the water
The bridge builders do not fish in
the stream. and they zealously guard
it from visiting nimrods.
News of the tame trout was brought
to Anchorage by X. d. Chase, pay
master. and II. B. Laughlin, line audi
tor, of the railroad, who make monthly
trips over the system to pay OF en-
ployes.

Hiqh School Notes
(Rv Dave Whittle.l

The senior class rings and pins
came last Friday morning. On ac-
count of the high war tax on all such
goods they cost about 10 per cent
more than the listed price. The COM
mencement invitations will be or
dered some time in the near future.
The Red Cross work in the high
school is progressing rapidly Tues
day and Thursday nights have been
selected for this work. Hospital sup
plies and refugee garments are to be
made. Tuesday night of this week
eighteen or twenty girls came out
and worked about an hour and a
half. The showing made was highly
praised by Professor Moore, who has
boosted this protest with untiring en-
ergy.

RAILROAD WAR GARDENS
TO COVER LARGE AREAS

During the year 1917 some 800
acres of the right of way and other
lands of the Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation Company,
western unit of the Union Pacific
System, we're planted to vegetables.
These railroad war gardens varied in
size and were titled by more than one
thousand employees. Many employees
are home-owners, and they planted
vegetables in lieu of flowers and
spaded up their lawns to grow food
products.
More war gardens will be planted
this spring. The employees who used
company lands last year have asked
for the privilege of using them again.
In many instances their applications
were filed during the fall months.
Fertilizers are being put on the land
and arrangements made TO irrigate.
Present indications are that all the
company land available will be under

FishWay Blasted In
Ament C0fferdann

State Game Warden Carl D. Shoe
maker, acting under instructions
from the state fish and game COM
mission, Sunday blasted an "ade-
quate fishway" at the Ament dam by
dynamitilg the cofferdam running
from the concrete portion of the dam
back to the north shore, thus en-
abling fish to ascend by the ladder
as we'll as through the gap torn
through the cofferdam. The effect
was Immediately apparent, the i'm
prisoned fish below beginning to as
cend at once.
Before the commission acted, the
bureau of hatcheries had appealed to
the food administrator to authorize
the destruction of the dam as men
ace to the food supply, presenting fig
ures showing that the fish were pre-
vented from reaching the spawning
beds and hatchery work curtailed
The state food administrator referred
the matter to Mr.. Hoover with ia
vorable report, but the delay caused
by investigation would have stopped
the spring run of salmon, even if
finally acted upon.-Medford Mail

According to Roseburg boy who
is with the Sixty-fifth regiment that
recently left Fort Stevens on its way
to war the captain gave the soldiers
their instructions about censored
mail. He said that when the men
leave on a transport they should
mail a card saying II arrived safely,
etc." then as soon as the transport
arrives at foreign port, this mail
Is released in New York. In this
manner the soldiers families and
friends will know more quickly when

Otherwise many weeks would elapse

busy absorbing the scent of orange

sunshine that we haven't had much
time for social diversions. However,
We managed to break away the other
day long enough to lunch with Mary
Pickford, the most popular woman in
the world and the one who is making
the most money. She was chaperoned
by her mother, brother, press agent
and manager. Two or three hundred
members of the Los Angeles Ad Club
were also present. This bright par
ticular star of the film armament was
the guest Of honor, and what an ova-
tion she did receive! 1t reminded me
of the reception accorded Governor
West at a similar luncheon given by
the Portland Ad Club just after Os-
wald had cleaned up Copperfield.
These ad club men are fine fellows
and Miss Pickford-as she likes to be
called on account of her matrimonial
venture not being an entire success
was so fayorably impressed that she
applied for membership. She is in
the advertising business herself in an
amateur way, being publicity man

But our feminine friends are curl
Gus to know how the little mistress
of the silent drama was dressed. She
wore plain black velvet suit, black
shoes and stockings of the same color,
white silk waist with a modest V
front, black straw hat which cam
ouflaged most of her wonderful gold
en- curls, and great white fur over
her shoulders. She appears very
quiet and unassuming and speaks
slowly, with slight down-east ac-
cent. The club presented her with u
beautiful bouquet of roses, which she
very graciously accepted, throwing a
kiss in the direction of the guest from

told Mary she had lots of admir-
ers in Oregon, which she said was
fine, adding that she had never had
the pleasure of visiting Ashlands She
is working now on a little mountain
story, 'M'Liss," by Bret Harte. As
she stepped into her big auto of rob-
in's-egg blue she declared she had
laughed and cried and had a perfectly
lovely time. The smiles and tears
were called forth by another guest,
Canadian soldier, who told something
of what he had seen in the crack in
the earth where hell is leaking out.
The other day we took dinner with
Mr.. and Mrs. R. j. Edwards at their
beautiful home in Alhambra, a sub
urb five miles east of the city. They
have wodern, ten-room house, ma
hogany furniture, trees, vines and
