TH|RTy.FVE DAYS OF
STRAIGHT FISHING

Fishing for 35 days straight and
landing lots of five-pound rainbows,
is what Ole Elliott has been up to
since he left for Idaho this summer.
With Mrs Elliott he returned TO Ely
Wednesday night, telling a most al
Turing story of the times that he en-
jcyed.
Every year the Elliotts go to that
region and make their headquarters
at HALEY. From there they travel
light and go in various directions.
Wood river flows by their favorite
camping place, but they fish in var
ious and smaller streams. Wading
iato these young rivers Mr.. Elliot,
would play out $50 feet CT line with
several flies and hooks and the cast.
ing would begin. After a little toy
ing he would hook one and while in
the, process of landing when another
would strike and take a different fly,
and then upstream they would dart
and something would have to give
way. Ole says that seldom a day
passed when his $50 feet of line had
not been reduced to twenty to thirty
before sunset. Hooking these trout
requires an expert; landing them is
the work of an artist, but when two
five-pOunders are hooked at one time
it is not Gone.
For the first time ever known land
locked salmon are taking flies and are
being hooked in some of the streams
that arc reached only by saddle
horses. Their weigh several pounds
and to land them is likewise difficult.
Mr.. Elliott plans to accept an invita-
ton from a stockman to go into that
country next year.
During their stay the Elliotts were
Joined by various friends from Ely,
Salt Lake and Ogden. Among these
were Mr.. and Mrs. C. d. Nance, Mr..
and Mrs. J. E. Eudey, both couples
from Ruth, and Mr.. and Mrs. John
Lynch, from Ogden.

NEVADA DIVORCE NOT
EASY IN ELk0 TOWN

Nevada's easy divorces depend
upon the judge, it seems.
Arthur Laswell, of Greenvile, H.
linois, m to Nevada to get a di-
vorce, settling in Elko. He filed mis-
suit last May and thought things
running smoothly when the
sheriff of his Illinois county arrived
with e~Xtradition papers, signed by
Governors Len Small and J. G. Scrug-
ham, the warrant having been issued
upon the charge of wife and child
desertion. Laswell was released by
Judge j. NJ. Mcnamara on a writ OF
habeas corpus upon his showing that
he was contributing a portion of his
wages each month to his family's
support.
But then it came to pass that
Judge Mcnamara ordered Laswell to
pay the expenses of his wife and
daughter from Illinois to Elko and
return, in order that Mrs. Laswell
might defend the suit. Tie court en-
tered an order that the case could
not proceed until these costs had
been paid. No such paymet had been
made at last accounts.

lone marshal calls us down if we
don't run Il cars up a gainst the
curb and another marshal comes
along and tells us to keep our wheels
back SO that the water car run down
the CUTTERS"
Marshal Campbell told him he had
not been in office long enough to
have decided what the rules should
be, so Ernie don't know what he is
up against, and until the marshal is
sues his regulations he cant do
neither one"
The banquet menu consisted OF
roast pork and apple sauce. brown
gravy. buns, dry bread and chemi-
Gals to wash EN- down.
