Carks was a wizard for saving, but
instead of saving in conventional
ways, he sometimes overworked his
sense of shrewdness.
One day he went into a cigar store
to get n light. A man hurried in
bought three five-cent cigars and hur
ried out. Carks watched him until
the door closed after him, then, turn

"The regular price of those cigars
is six for a quarter, ain t it 7
"It is," answered the salesman.
Carks laid a dime on the counter.
"Well, gimme the other three then,"

Portland, Aug. 29. Thirty thou
sand stcelhend fingerlings, from the
state rearing ponds at Bull Run, Ore
gon, have just Deen pla?ed in five dif
ferent hikes in the Mt. Hood and Mt.
Jefferson regions, on the Oregon Na
tional forest. This difficult work was
done by the Stale of Oregon, the For
est Service, and the Portland Railway,
Light 1'ower company in co-operation,
and required seven days to com
plete. An auto truck, furnished by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company, and driven by O. C. Graves,
covered the 250 miles in making the
trip from Portland to the accessible
points nearest the lakes. Fifteen
thousand of tho fish were carried' in
the first load to the end of the road
lit) miles from Bull Run. This point
was reached at eleven o'clock at night.
This was the fir.st time an auto truck
ever made the 32-milc trip between
Government Camp and Clackamas
lake. Here the fish were held over
night, constantly attended bv four
men, who kept the water thoroughly
iterated. The next morning the cans I
wore placed on fourteen pack animals,
in charge of Hangers Dee Wright,
Joe (irahnm, and Hiram A. Wilcox.
and conveyed the 24 miles to Lakes'
.Monan and Olallic, where the fish
were placed in the water. No stops
were made on this trip. These lakes
belong to a group of lakes in the
Mt. Jefferson region, and can be seen
from the summit of Olallie mountain.
The truck returned to Bull Run and
secured another load of 15,0(10 finger
lings, which were taken bv truck as
far as Government Camp, which is at
the base of Mt. Hood, where they wore
transferred to the waiting Forest
Service pack train in charge of Rang
ers Wright and Wilcox. Forty-tive
minutes later 12,000 of these fish'were
released in the waters of Mirror lake,
2,500 were placed in Mud lake, and
500 in Veda lake.
The State and Forest Service of
ficials feel particularly grateful to the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company for this substantial co-opcr- j
ation in furnishing a truck and driver'
for seven days for this work. The wa- '
tors stocked with those trout are not
reached directly or indirectly by the
company's lines. A desire to co-oper-nte

and Mr. Graves already mentioned,
