CATCH MADE
Five trout that vary iri-Iuegth be
tween 34; and 36 inches, five others
that measure 30 inches, and a dozen
that measure between 18 and 19 inch
es, is the story told of a remarkable
me88 of fish landed by Adolph Newlin
i nthe' wallowa river yesterday after
noon. The string is a sight to tickle
the fisherman. The largest weighed
14 pounds dressed, and required an
even hour in catching. There are four
others, almost as large, lacking but
few pounds in weight. It is the ban
ner catch in several years.
