Nimrods Who Caught S3O Rainbow Trout Have
 Reason 10 Braq

The merry ha-ha given last week to three local fishermen, who caught the famous $30 rainbow, was returned with interest today when they came back from their second airplane fishing trip but this time with their creels full and overfloWing
 The three, Fred Jaegel, Jim O. Neil and Dean Hammond, yester- day flew into Lake Florence with Johnny Amundsen, fished for a little over two hours, according to the story, and returned with the AAT pilot before dark, everyone, including Amundsen, with his limit.
 The largest cutthroat of the catch was caught by Jim O'Neil on a sneaker play" and measured P inches O'Neil gave the fish to Charles Goldstein and said that it really should have measured 24 inches but because he had to force it into his creel, it folded up like an accordion and lost two inches. Hammond was fishing in the mouth of a creek at Florence Lake when ONeil walked up. Just in time he saw two fish strike for Hammond's egg. a small one and the 22-incher. The smaller, measur- ing about IA inches, struck Ham, mond's bait and the other was hooked by O'Neil when he sneaked cast behind Hammond and tossed the bait in front of the large cut throat.
 Florence Lake. according to the fishermen, is one of the best trout fishing spots in the Territory and other trips are being planned for the future.

DOLLY GRAY TELLS ABOUT
 FIRST MITT
Local Baseball Fan Recalls Joe Gunson by Story
 In Magazine

J. L. Dolly) Gray. Alaskas grandfather of baseball, told a story today of his 1889 trip to the world series and a visit with his friend, Joe Gunson, who invented the first catcher's mitt His mem ory had been refreshed by an ar ticle about Gunson, catcher for the Kansas City Blues in 1883, ill the May issue of the Baseball Magazine.
 Self-named, Alaska's most avid baseball fan, Gray, who says that he thinks a big-league baseball player is a greater man than the President, had been corresponding with Gunson for some time. He wrote to the inventor of the mitt after adding an eastern newspapers story of Gnnson to his scrapbook and explained that Gunson was the first pro-catcher that Dolly had ever seen and he saw him way back when. Dolly himself played with the Blues in 1906, 07 and '08.
 Visits GunsOn in Philly
 And, as Dolly tells the story, there was nothing for him to do but visit Gunson when he made a pilgrimage to the East to at tend the World Series last year. Dolly and his wife went to Gun sons home in Philadelphia as had been insisted, and visited him un- til the wee sma' hours of the morn- ing When Dolly walked away, nc carried with him a baseball auto- graphed by Gunson, and prized to such an extent by Dolly now that he wouldn't take $1,0O0 for it."
 This all happened on the 22nd of September, 1889, as was proved by the date on the autographed ball.

AN "UNKNOWN'' GIVES 100000

The story comes from Waterbury,
Connecticut, where an anonymous citizen
is credited with giving away 100000
without permitting anyone to discover his
identity.
Two hospitals received $4,000 each
from the donor three churches got $4,000
each, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts got
$4,000 each and the rest was distributed
among a number of charitable Organiza-
tionS
1t is something remarkable when a
citizen donates 100000 to the betterment
of his town or city. but something very
unusual when he, or she, does it without
revealing his, or her, identity.
While we doubt that any citizen OF
Key West is ready to donate as much as
100000 for public service in this area,
publicly or anonymously, we call the at
tention of our citizens to this unusual hap
pening in Connecticut, with the observa-
ton that small gifts are as acceptable as
large ones.
Who knows? There may be some
BODY i'm Kew West within the next twelve
months who will make a doration for the
public benefit and set an example that will
be followed, in the course of years, by
many other citizens. Let's wait and see.

The RETURN
By FRANK C. SCHNEIDER


ssesssse~esL.-ss.~e..-@s
I saw you last night at my win
dow;
You were clothed in robes Of
white.
l felt YOUR presence so stronglv.
The darkness seemed turned to
light.
Your smile was as sweet as a
flower 49,
That had just been kissed by the
dew
And was getting ready to blossom.
Sweetheart, 1 was glad to see
you.
l watched you as you left me,
You just seemed to float away
Tripped from one cloud to an
other.
I hope you come back some day,
1 shall watch for you every eve
ming
When the cool breeze blows DER
the earth
And the sun has set in its glory.
I'll be standing by the Firth.
On the incoming tide I'll expect
you
Do not make me wait in vain.
l know you are now more beauti-
full
Will be my sweetheart again.
I wish 1 could tell you. my loved
one,
The things that lie nearest my
heart,
But l can not seem to express
them
think you knew when time
came to part.
The night you scared to the
Spirit world,
You had smile to the last.
| knew the Angels were with
you
All of my happiness past.
For felt could never journey
Along the narrow path.
But religious teaching helped me;
| shall follow it to the last
Just think, l might have lost
you -sI
But now we will meet once more,
Be joined by the angel choir,
Be united forever more.

Since then, however, both improve

extent that one hears very little discussion
about them. True, the Aqueduct project
came up for some clarifying statements

what's happened to it, we ask?
Confidential reports have it that the
Navy Department has decided that moth

until and unless the residents of this city
make certain guarantees concerning
amount of water they will use. That is
they won't build the line for part-municipal
consumption of water unless those guar
antees are forthcoming. There still re-
mains the possibility that the line may be
built exclusively for the naval station, al
though even that may be discouraged in
that supplies of fresh water are considered
to be ample for some time to come.
So much for the water line-and ore

certain. AS to the highway, there were

1t is becoming increasing patent that
nothing is going to happen on our two
'big-time projects in 1910. It's too bad
that such discouraging words find them
selves spread throughout this space-but,
facts are facts, and, in the main, should
not be ignored.
As to 1941! Let us all hope and pray
that the new year will not far advance be-

our much-needed projects are definitely on

Uncle Sap is making overtures to buy
Latin-American friendship, which would
last as long as the money was forth-com-

which quite naturally would increase agri-
cultural surpluses in competition with our
own, and would also encourage rival in
dustry. That course is like sending good
