catches from Ole Rismon's Lodge:

Doc Morgan springs a good
bunch of rainbow trout out of the
Deerskin the other day; from 212
pounds down to around pound his
catch weighed, and it was a mix
ture of tackle that he used. If flies
wouldn't get EN-, then garden
hackle and split club tail furnished
the incentive for the strike and the
landing. Trout are hoppin' to it

JUST FISH STORIES
saseeeesseaaaeesseeeeea

From all over the lake region
come stories of the bully good
musky fishing; results are far bet
ter than any year previous, putting
to scout the idea that there ain t
no more. Just to show you that
reports to the contrary are numer-
Gus, a talk yesterday with Bill
Love, former resort owner and a
fish hound of the type that can
smell EN- when they are ready to
bite, shows that he and his party
just last week landed five beauties
and quite a number got away. To
those who know Bill, there is no
questioning his report; he doesnt
have to lie in order to show results
even on paper We have been fish
ing off and on for many years with
this same Bill Love and have never
found him other than a clean sport,
good companion and an ace of a
fisherman. He and Mrs. Love have
established a boat livery and home
just down the river from the vii
lage-right in the musky grounds,
so to speak. He takes out fish after
fish and if he doesn't land one, it
isn't his fault. Just make it a
point to see this same Bill and find
out if he hasn't the knowhow of
any kind and color of fishing any
where in this section of the lake re-
gion. But | got away from my
story. Those fellows who are really
fishing for muskies are landing
them regularly. The only one who
has failed to show any big results
is our friend c. M. Lewis out on
Catfish. He simply has been too
busy making business trips east
and maybe playing too much golf
to hit the water when the muskies
are striking. Generally he has a
half dozen or so to his credit at
this time of the year; most of
which after playing with them, he
throws back to grow larger or tease
some other angler.

Jimmy and Ed Morgan have a
fight on, fellows! Happened this
way: Early in the season Jimmy
lands big walleye and gets chesty
over it; then Edward week back,
after listening to Jimmy's abuse,
fiops into the live box on Deerskin
lake a mighty classy bass and
shames his brother in thinking a
Walleye was better'n bass. Jimmy
got sore'n a boil and t'other day
lands a good sized pickerel and
claimed he was the real guy in fish
ing. Then Ed peels his coat and
says he either beats the last fish
caught by Jimmy or Jimmy gets
beat up. Ed hooks a buster of a
pickerel few days later and had
everything coming his way in
cleaning house with his brother
when the line broke and way went
his alibi. That didn't end the con-
troversy, however. The next day
Ed found his pickerel all swelled
up floating on shore with his
wooden plug way down in the
fish's throat. He beat Jim, but jim
has for his alibi that no dead fish
count. Their father is therefore in
a heck of a pickle just how to ar
bitrate the affair and stave off a
fight.

Saturday. July 4, 1925 was really an
enjoyable day. 1t appears as if a true
Fourth of July spirit pervaded every
where. The cares and worries of daily
life were set aside, and the active parti-
cipants in the celebration as we'll as the
onlookers seemed bent on contributing
towards making a good time, or having a
good time.
A shower during the foreday having
refreshed the sultry atmosphere, the
morning opened relatively cool. A large
number of people attended the ceremony
of s%aluting the Colors, after which, a
magnificent Grafton, the best up to the
present, was delivered by the Superior of
the Roman Catholic parish, Rev. FIR.

Under the personal and competent
direction of 1t, Col. Hooker and Capt.

was formed and marched along the route
outlined in the program. being reviewed
by the His FxceIlency, the Governor on
its return TO the starting point.
The morning and afternoon sports
were very ampsing, and kept large
crowds interested from the beginning to
end. The fire works included some fine
displays. Owing to the difficulty in pro-
curing suitable candles, the torch light
procession could not be carried out as
grand as was intended, nevertheless, the
tramp from and to the Fort was enjoy
ed by the large number of people who
took part therein.
Both the Naval and Community Bands
rendered appreciate services to the cele-
bration by their splendid music.
AS we said at the beginning, every
one seemed happy and bent on having a
good time, and did spend a Glorious
Fourth.

Americas Red Letter Day
The Fourth is Notable for Other
Happenings than the Declaration
of independence
From an article.by Earl w. Gage IN
National Republic

FROM an UTEICtGAOy LUTI w. UUg6 W
National Republic
Although our greatest 4th of July came
in 1776, when ffty-six daring men adopt
ed the Declaration of Independence and
this country became a nation, yet, before
that event, the date played a strange part
in the affairs of the brave men and wO-
men who had come from across the seas
to set up a new nation in the wilderness
of the New World. Thus, July 4 is a
real red letter day in. American history
and only a deep student of cur history
could enumerate ali these events.
1t was July 4, 1886, that Roger Will
'liams founded his settlement at PrOvi.
~colonists in Virginia demanded and were
granted important rights by legislation.
1t was on July 4, 1744, that a vast tract
of land, containing the Blue Ridge coun-
try was bought from the Indians.
July 4, 1854, Col. George Washington
surrendered an army to the enemy. He
experienced on this occasion his first de-
feat in war, at the hands Of the French.
Although at hat time only twenty two
years of age. Washington had been pIac-
ed in command of a small body of troops,
which was marching toward fort Du-
quesne. At a point on the MOnOngahela
river, less than forty miles from his deS-
tination, be heard OF the approach of a
party of French and Indians. sent to in
tercept him. Accordingly, he fell back
to the Great Meadows, fifty miles from
Cumberland, and hastily erected a stock
ade which he called Fort Necessity, AID
it was we'll named.
With the aid Of friendly Indian-Sa-
chem, Half King-Washington attacked
the French in their camp at night. Their
commander was killed, and several pris-
oners were taken. 1t was the first blood
shed in the French and Indian war. A
few days later Fort Necessity was storm
ed by 1900 Indians and French, under
De Villiers. and Washington surrendered
on honorable terms, rather than have his
entire company massacred. This was on
the morning of July 4, 1854 Washing
ton marched out with his army of 400
men, drums beating and flags flying, and
he and his soldiers returned peaceably to
their homes.
On this same Fourth of July, Benjamin
Franklin WIS delegate to a council held
with the chiefs of the Six Tribes. The
great statesman and far sighted man
made a speech. in which he said the time

one great brotherhood, for defense and
other general purposes.
Then came July 4, 1776, with its many
events, chief among them beng the adOp.
ton of the Declaration of Independence.
The following year there was a celebration
throughout the young republic. Ut one OF
these John Adams, future President Of
the United States, wrote: Had either
General Howe or his royal master been on
hand, the shoJ would have given them
both a had heartache."
During the Revolution, The Fourth of
July seemed to be the date upon which
big events swung. The Indians attacked
Boounsboro, Kentuckey, July 4, TIT.
July q, 1778, Major Clarke captured Fort
Kaskaskia from the British. The terrible
massacre of the white settlers by Indians
and British in the Wyoming valley took
place on the same date. And it was July
4, 1871, that Lord C0rnWallis evacuated
Williamsburg. Virginia.
July 4, 1873, The corner stone OF a mint
building was laid in Philadelphia. On
July 4, 1845, the Texas convention voted
for annexation to the Uni'ed States. and
thus started the war with Mexico.
July A, 1916, Independence Of Califor-
MIA was declared. There were at that
time. in California then part of Mexico
some 200 Americans, nearly all of them
men of exceptional vigor of body and
alertneSs of mind. Of Mexican Indians
there weare 6 5000, and The aboriginal In
dian population numbered perhaps 200,
600. Captain John G. Fremont had been
sent to California on an exploring eXpe-
ditiOn the year previous. He was on his
way to Oregon when he was Overtaken by
an officer from Washington with a message
ordering him to wait and cooperate with
the Pacific squadron in case of hOStilities
with Mexico. The message ha0 been in
writing, but the officer was obliged to
destroy it while crossing Mexican terri.
tory, after committing 1t TO memory, Ac-
cOrdingly Fremont returned TO California,
and took up his headquarters at Suffers
Fort:
A few days later a party Of fourteen
Americans organized a small revolution on
their own accord, captured SOhoma, and
declared war against the Government of
Mexico. Needing a flag and not daring
to use that of the United States, they
made one from a Mexican rebosa, a yard
wide and five feet long. The middle OF the
flag was occupied by a picture of a grizzly
bear, beneath which were the words, cal
ifOrnia Republic" The temporary gov
inner thus established is known in his
tory as the Bear Flag Government"
Meanwhile, news had come OF the out
break Of war along The Rio Grande, and
July, 4 Fremont called a meeting at Son.
Oma, which formally proclaimed the in
dependence of California. He was ap-
pointed It's first governor.
