Especially small for her eight
years, she was of little value as
ballast when the trail took some
pretty steep plunges.
We used up a very delightful
hour in side trip that took us
out onto the rim of Wallula Gap.
While the road peters out before
the Gap is reached it is not diff

colorful q ranch as was ever seen
in a western thriller. We stepped
and saw Bill a few minutes and
we're going back for another
story. Bills dad settled on that
place in 1882.
From there on the travelling is
easy with a new road graded by
the engineers to a point a few
miles above the damsite.
Reaching the damsite we found
a considerable group of Conserv-
ationists from Kennewick, Pasco
and Walla Walla. That was 3
o'clock and in spite Of the fact
that Henry Smith and Squint Ed
wards had already finished their
picnic lunch there was plenty left.
The earlier arrivals had enjoyed
a tour of the present construction
work, viewing teh Golfer dam and
the excavation for locks.

The Wet =.
and the

BY Don Knowles

We are going to have fish at
our house this week one big
five and a quarter pound rainbow
will slide into our oven and there
in cook until it turns a lusty
brown. This big battling beauty
of the Wallowa river was caught
by yours truly after half hour
struggle during which time por-
ton of about a so yards stretch
of water was beaten into white
froth. OF course this all took place
some time last September, 1947.
Guess that was build upJ At
any rate being one of the humid
reds who stormed out onto the
streams and lakes in search of the
elusive bass or trout and who re-
turned looking for fish mar
ket, I just happened to remember
that there was that old grand
daddy of them all down in my
cold storage locker which I had
been saving for a special occa-
sion this I believe should be
special enough and I'm glad I
saved last years king of the
stream to take the edge off q
fishless opening day. -
Most all lakes within a hundred
mile radius of this area furnish
ed nothing much more than emp
ty baskets, althO some good bass
catches were made in the Coulee
area and from Twin Lakes near
Othello. Lester Kinney OF kenne-
wick caught the limit from one of
the lakes in this region but re-
fused to divulge its name or To-
cation. He is holding out on the
boys with intentions of acquiring
a private fishing ground for the
summer, but I'll bet some one
will find It.
Steelnead fishermen did not
do much good this week end, so
my experience on the Wallowa
was not out of the ordinary. The
waters of that valley are high
and muddy with nearly every
stream full and black with snow
water. Continued warm weather
and snow which is still seven to
eight feet deep up on the noun
tain tops all 60 together toward
a continuation of this condition
throughout this area for some
weeks to come.
There are many sportsmen COM
planning about the fact that the
season is being opened too late,
so that when it is opened warm
weather has hit the mountain
tops, resulting in about a month
/ of high muddy water, and knock
ing the sportsmen out of month
of fishing during open season.
The late opening of streams is
for the purpose of protecting the
spring spawning fish-which are
cutthroat, rainbow and steelhead
and to give the young steelhead
chance to migrate to salt water
before being subjected to an in
tense run of trout fishermen 4.
we think it is good idea.
Changing the subject from fish
ing to hunting, ] had the occa-
sion to witness unique sport
the other night participated in by
Bob Goss, a young architect here
in Kennewick. Accompanied By
friend Of his from Seattle.
Armed with bow and arrow, these

the sage brush where they shot
jackrabbits from a car fender.
One fleeing jack was even
