Old Home at SbaloViord, Eng
land, Lost to World

Washington, D. C.. July s.-Fish-
ermen will be saddened to learn that
LEAK Walton's matched. half
tlmbered cottage At Shallovford.
Staftordshire. has been destroyed by
fire
England has lost one Of her best
beloved, literary landmarks and FISH,
crmen the home OF the arts most
famous exponent, with the destruc-
ton of Walton's country home" says
a bulletin from the Washington. D.
c. headquarters OF tho National
Geographic society.
As St. Andrews, Scotland. Is the
mecca for golfers and stratford-
upon-Avon the shrine Of urama low
ers, 50 6hallowford has been the
place Of pilgrimage for fishermen"
continues the bulletin. Stafford
shire unrolling its green. cultivated
hills and valleys midway between
smoky Birmingham and busy Liver
pool, was the birthplace Of Walton
and the scene Of those fishing ex-
petitions wherein he angled and
caught, with the same hook. trout
and many paragraphs We still ac-
claim.
Some Famous Fishing Places
Northwest a few miles from the
Shallowford cottage lies Madeley.
country seat Of John Ottley Esquire,
10 whom Walton dedicated the Com
pleat Angler In appreciation for
permission to hsh on Ofley's estate.
Northeast ripples tho Dove through
Dovedale. = green carpeted. English
sort Of canyon. where Walton fished
with that young rake Charles Cot
ton. who added to the 'Compleat
Angler the sections on hy-hshing.
Near Beresford at the upper end Of
the Dale stands the famous fishing
house built by. the impecunious,
creditor ridden Cotton for the use OF
father Walton and himself.
Nothing could be In greater con-
trast to an American sportsman's
fishing camp than Cotton's fishing
house on the Dove. The latter pre-
sents the appearance OF = rather
large, private mausoleum. It's walls
are cut stone. Thanking the arched.
stone doorway. two windows admit
light to tho fishing house through
diamond figured, loaded glass panes.
Within, the single room measures Is
feet square. Black and white marble
squares pave its floor. A black mar
ble-topped table occupied the center
Of the room and at one time painted
panels Of scenes on the Dove. and
Of Cotton and Walton In dress Of tho
time, ornamented the walls. Amid
classic magnificence the only human
note can be found on the fireplace
where the initials C. c.. I.W..' record
the famous friendship. Over the
doorway on the outside runs the in
scription' 'Piscatoribus sacrum.'
Mixed Fishing and Philosophy
Walton did not take his fishing
straight. He mixed trout with 4
kindly philosophy and poetry. The
Anglers Song tells why he thinks
fishing is superior to all other sports:
OF recreation there is none
So free as fishing Is alone:
All other pastimes do no less
Than mind and body both possess:
My hand alone my work can do.
So I can fish and study too"
The most famous fisherman OF
them all was 50 unprofessional as to
let his pole and line Dish unattended

NEGOTIATIONS ARE PLANNED.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 80 up
Indiana miners. through their dis
trict Officers, yesterday we're preparing
to enter negotiations with operators FOR.
a continuance of mine operations in
the State In line with the resolution
adopted Monday by the international
policy committee. What steps NAV
result remains questionable since
there is no indication of what attitude
the operators may adopt.
Phil ii. Penna, secretary of the In
diana Coal Operators Association, was
noncommittal regarding the stand OF
the Indiana operators merely declar-
ing that any overture from the min
ers will be considered as an official
document and answered by our organi-
Zation."
However, since the policy of the
international organization permits Cd
GRAFTON of individual mines under the
present agreement after April 1, there
Is the probability that some mines
may continue to work without regard
OF the stand taken by the operators
association. There are a number of
operators in the State who are not
members of the association.
II some operators continue work at
their mines the condition will further
tighten the squeeze started by agree
ments reached in some of the outlying
districts to continue work after April
}. Those refusing to enter an agree
ment would be forced to sit by and
see their business slipping to Other.
nelds or other mines in the central
competitive fields.
