Just as | told you in former ar
ticles, and in the first one written
this week, that the old Wisconse
and its little bylets or inlets or tri-
butaries, anything you wish to call
EN-; are the best producin 6
grounds for muskies. To prove this
as facts, an Is pound musky was
taken from under the Mud creek
bridge (the bridge you shoot over
in your car when travelling high
way 20 about two miles west of the
village) Sunday by Bud Renk of
this little city. Bud is another
home boy who has that germ of
laziness which Gordon Mcintyre is
infested with, and Bud thought
if somebody would transport him
to Mud creek bridge he could ''laze'
around and without any effort nail
few walleyes from under the
aforementioned bridge. Mr.. Musky
happened to be underneath when
Bud fiippd his bait up against his
nose. He actually weighed in at

JUST FISH STORIES
Hayward SEE: "Fishin' amt
ketchin' but lynn is"


ketchin' but lynn is"
Gordon Mcintyre, the kid that
plays havoc with the print shop
every morning during the vacation
season, and who during the day
when off duty phys the art OF ang-
ling, sure knows where the muskles
hang out. Being a kid he IS IN
ficted with that germ OF lazlness
which makes for a good fisherman
plenty of time, lots of bait and
all kinds of patience. And he does
not care to exert himself any too
much with the oars, but sneaks one
of his gradad's Elto motors; hooks
it on the back of his sklff and
starts up river or down river as the
inclination strikes. Wednesday OF
last week he wanted to come down
town. a distance of about six
blocks. or two blocks from the
traffic bridge. Knew if he could
get that far without exercising his
muscles, he could stiff some guy
for ride the remaining four
blocks to the taxi office where ne
listens in on the gas stories told by
the office habitues. This time he
took a pair of oars and with rod
and other necessary tackle fished
down to the middle dock, just a
good two blocks. He hooked and
landed a twenty pound musky just
as he reached the dock. That's en-
cheering the know-how to a
FRAGILE. But then Gordon is wise
to fish lore and fish habits. He
knew most all the fishermen beat it
for some other place than the river
through the village, doubling that
fish like to see city life most any
time. AS we all know there is no
better fishing than in the river
from Yellow Birch down to the
mouth of the Eagle where it uns
into the Wisconse. Bill Love, who
has a home down there states that
in the howage a week ago several
mighty fine fish were captured.
And to go down the Wisconse be-
low the dam you find some of the
finest musky waters known.
Drager and Trinka were cheated
out of several fine fish last week by
the dope artist. Instead of their
catching one bass weighing near
four pounds, they had three that
went that weight per each. This
is our apology to the fellows, for
they were honest in handing IN
their catch to us.
The finest catch Of Large Mouth
Bass so far reported in one catch
is that made by Mr.. and Mrs Bob
Lapp at Maple Grove resort a week
ago. There were half dozen of
the big bronze boys that weighed
in at four and more than four per
each, and many coming pretty close
to that weight Up in that district
when the fishermen get out and
try-and that applies just the same
to every other doggone fishing sec
ton in this lake re2ion-you get
the big ones if you choose the
right day, the right hour and the
right bait. Nothin to it, fellows,
when you are told how. That's
what made Bob and Mrs. Bob lucky
in their catch last week.

MINISTER'S OF THE GOSPEL

Alaska cannot afford to lose such a sterling, fearless preacher of the Gospel of Christ as Rev. H. E. Bush who was recently removed from his pulpil in the St. Johns Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev Rowe, Bishop of Alaska. So far as we can learn the only criticism that the good Bishop had to make of Rev. Bush was that he twas not respectful to the Bishop" which might or might not be serious crime, but which might result in a severe setback to the cause of Christ. However that might be, we suppose that the dig nity of the Bishops office must be upheld no matter what the cost.
 We have been we'll acquainted with many ministers and ordained mis- sionaries during our thirty years in Alaska, and can say that of the en- tire number, H. E. Bush was the peer in point of consecration, fidelity, learning, ability, and force of char acter of any of these. While at tending his church, we found his theology so broad that we would forget that we were in an Episcopal church for to him there seemed 70 be no church lines. He preached "Christ and Him crucified" and righteousness and did not finch or apologize to any one as is sometimes the case.
 The love of the community goes with MT. Bush and his fine family, and a hope that his successor will carry on the work so we'll begun.

with the stage setting perfect,
wine of spring in the air and the
spirit Of youth in the city's heart,
Easter Sunday In Washington was
as glorious day as the romancef
could conjure out OF his imagina-
ton.
anthems and hallelnjahs and the
hosts of fashion paraded and
pluned and preened along the
broad bouIevards for which the city
is world famous. It was great
day for Vanity Fairs annual spring
awakening.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
attended morning services at the
First Congregatio Church, hear
ing the Reverend Jason Noble
Pierce preach upon THE Spirit Of
Peace" Two morning services
were held at this church, and the
crush was SO great that hundreds
OF visitors to the city, anxious 10
participate in q service with the
President, were turned away.
Mrs. Coolidge wore q gown in
which tan and biege were the
predominant colors. It was OF lus-
trous crepe de chine, with gOdets
grouped in cascade effect at the
front, and with q coat Of satin OF
somewhat lighter color than navy

the collar and cuffs four inches

PRESS ANSWERS
j. 8. ON TAX
PUBLICITY
Senator Reed, Missouri, and
Newton D. Baker Stressed
InvaIidity of Law

Replies to the Governments COM
plants against newspapers for pub.
fishing individual income tax pay
ments were filed today with the
Supreme Court by Senator Reed of
Missouri, for the Kansas City Jour
nal-Post, and by former Secretary
of War Newton d. Baker for the
Baltimore Daily Post.
These two newspapers had been
selected by the Government for it's
test cases to determine the right
of many newspapers in publishing
income tax payments. Both SeE-
ator Reed and Baker stressed the
invalidity of the law as violating
the Federal Constitution. Senator
Reed insisted that the Govern
ment's argument against publicity
by newspapers of these payments
was an abridgement of the freedom
of the press. II the Government
contention is sustained, Reed ar
gued, the country is thrown bach
to July 4, 1875 and the Revolution,
the Bill of Rights and the Federal
Constitution would be without avail.
Baker argued that the Govern
ment is trying to make a distinc-
ton between the freedom of the
press and freedom of speech, whicI.
he held, is impossible to sustain.
The court will hear oral argu-
ments In these cases during the
next week.

STUDENT TRIED
|. To END LIFE IN
JAZZ ORGY
Dying Slowly of Diabetes, He
Took One Grand SpIurge.
Body Found in Lake
BY international News Service.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Finis was
written to the sensational life and
death story of Robert Preston,
twenty-one-year-ol Northwestern
University student, today when a
coroner's jury brought in a YER
dict holding that. despite the ab-
sence of powder marks on the
youths head, he had come to his
death in the waters Of Lake M1chi-
gan by his own hand.
A factor in the jury's decision
was the boys diaries, found in a
briefcase which he had filled with
weights and strapped to his body,
evidently with the intention OF
holding it down. These told or q
life Of carousing-a last wild fling
in the shadow of death-while he
! contemplated the length of time
which it would take diabetes, the
disease from which he suffered to
lend it all" for him as a result OF
his failure to comply with the
regulations which the disease de-
manded. Food orgies, gay parties
with girls, particularly usherS at
movie theatres, overdoses of in
sulin-all were recorded in the
diaries through which at all time
ran the strain of certain, impending
death.
GLOW long can I last? Not more
than a year anyway. So I'm going
to have a good time"
This was the creed of fatalism
which the boy adopted, his diary
revealed.
At another place, after a drunken
party he asks: Where and how
will it all end?''
This he answered Saturday night,
with a pistol held to his head, as
he teetered on the brink of the
lake, into which his body toppled.

FOREST FIRE CHECKED
NEAR HAGERsToWN, ND

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, April a.
Scores of men, residents OF towns
and mountaineers, by back firing
and other methods today checked
two big forest fires that had been
burning on the eastern slope Of
South mountain, near Smithburg,
since yesterday.
The fires were on Little noun
tain, spur Of the South mountain
range, and swept through heavy
timber, driven by q strong wind.
Lack of rain OF consequence for
some time made the timber and
underground quick fuel for the
flames.
The heaviest damage was done
on lands owned by Lancelot JAG.
CUES, ST., and his son, Lancelot
Jacques, jr. Dwellings in the path
Of the fires were saved.
The second fire was on Catoctin
mountain. Wild flower hunters are
believed to have started the fires
Forest wardenS are establishing
communication In the fire area
as the telephones IN that section
went down when some OF the poles
burned.
