tests included William Tillett, James

the width of the highway right-of-
way was not sufficient for tree plant
ing purposes, and the State will not
furnish trees except those which are
to be planted on the right-of way. The
Crellin-O Oakland highway will be
measured, and if found suitable, APP
plication will be made next year for

"A-FISHIN' "

Along with many others, we have
that ''spring foolishness". We caught
it through a conversation had with
Harry Sincell in front of his store on
the "mourners' bench. He told us
about a fishing trip he had taken a
day or two previous, how many trout
he had caught and the size. We won't
say just what he told US about the lat
ter, for everyone knows when a fish
erman tells his story three or four
different times and to different people
WE'LL, we don't want the veracity of
the statements in this column ques-
toned.
Suffice it to say, we Immediately
came home and got the trusty can of
and frightened up the rod and tested
the line. We then went to the postof-
flee and there met Bill Edgar who
capped the climax by remarking that
he thought "they" would strike this
Afternoon. Right off the bat we visu-
allied certain spot 1--WE are not say
ing just where) where the swift water
dashes pell nell over a rocky bed,
dividing around a moss covered stump
and gently swirls in an eddy towards
the bank among the roots of an ov-
erhanging tree. In our minds eye we
could see a pair of 'em, at least II
inches, with heads pointed up stream,
waiting to dart with lightning like
speed at the small worm, hooked just
right once through the middle, wrig-
Cling its way down the swift current
from a spot probably twenty feet
above where we had gently dropped it
in the water Suddenly the water
churned, then parted and quick as
flash the speckled beauty struck and
with a quick twist of the wrist, with
just force enough, we snagged him
and then gave him the line. The reel
sang and the fun began.
Well we went to bed thinking about
it and when we awoke in the morning
it was showing like the dickens. We
could only console ourselves with the
thought that we are not very good
trout fisherman at the best, and we
might have lost him anyhow.
That brings US to the suggestion
that the lake here at the Park, with a
little preliminary work, would make
an ideal fishing hole. We are not so
sure trout would thrive in it, but we
are advised that pike and pikerel
would make normal growth.
But we do know that the Little
Yough is the natural habitat of trout
and if properly stocked and protected
it would soon attract a goodly number
of sportsmen from adjoining states,
thus starting the season month or
six weeks earlier.
Sportsmen are drawn to good fish
ing grounds as flies to molasses, and
as trout is the first to be fished for in
this section, the trout fishermen get
the spring foolishness" all over quick.
With proper fish planting and pro-
lection, memories would be revived of
the time when the late President Gro
yer Cleveland and many other noted
sportsmen had Garrett county on
their fishing list
With Gene Comerford, Fred. Elem
ing, Wiley Yelling, Ben Harvey, Brice
Gibson, Bill Edgar Marvin Harmi-
son, E. E. Kesner, Nee. Clayton, Rev.
Middaugh and many other residents
and summer visitors, we have the nu-
cleus of dandy Wild Life League
which could take charge Of the whole
thing.
If we can have good sidewalks we
can have good fishing.
