Attorney General Daugherty said
at dinner In New York:
There's certain class OF busi'

goodness--whose honesty reminds me
OF Ash story.
1.-TWO men with their guides were
fishing for salmon In Lake Sunapee.
The first mans bag Of salmon was
the smaller of the two, so he swiped
fish from the second man.
"But the second man caught him
In the act. He had the nerve, though,
TO deny his guilt, and he refused posi-
lively to give back the stolen salmon.
"a pretty bitter alteration fol-
lowed, OF course, and IL looked as II
there would be fist fight; but Just

IMMENSE RooKERY IN LAKE
Birds Find Sanctuary ON Island on
Which Hunters Are Forbidden
to Set Foot.

Set in the middle Of Great Salt lake
is Hat island, II acres In urea, one Of
the most densely populated rookerles
In the world. Its official name Is due
TO its shape, but 1t Is more familiarity
known to westerners as Bird island.
Seaguls and pelicans live there. The
island is literally covered with them,
and since hunters are not permitted
TO disturb the fowls, visitors expert
ence no difficulty in walking about
among them and observing their habits.
The birds have established their rOosts
among the rocky formations Of the Is
land, which Is surrounded by salt
water more dense than that Of the
ocean. The highest point Is about 100
feet above the surface OF the lake.
The strangest sight on the island
Is the flock OF young pellcans They
walk about like a drove Of sheep
One acts as leader and the rest fol-
low. Large bodied, clumsy BIRDS they
are. scarcely able to waddle ont OF
the way when one approaches.
AS evening approaches one may look
out over the lake. far to the north
east, and see cloud OF tiny specks
1t is the adult pelIcans returning home
from the mouth Of the Jordan river, OF
from the Great Bear river, 30 to Il
miles away. They are laden With fish
for their young ones. The pouches
under their beaks are aIled with fresh
water fish.
