Now that summer is here many of
men are using their vacations to
'WRtch up on their fishing. Your report­
er used to go with one of the bridge
foremen and crew on fishing trips in
the late 20’s or early 30’s. That is,
they fished, we went along for the
ride and scenery. We climbed precipi­
tous mountains to the high lakes in the
Wallowas, scrambled down rocky hill­
sides to swift, cold streams, and watch­
ed the others wade the turbulent wa­
ters. The while our ears were assailed
with profanity when the biting was
slow. All this decided us we could
never be a true Isaac Walton. We have
a vacation coming up, but does anyone
want a house built or some cabinet
work done? We want to feel rested
when our vacation is over.

MARION CHAPTER No. 18
Owen Searcy and David Reavis, au­
ditors in the State Tax Commission, re­
cently spent an interesting two-day va­
cation away from the office. The two
men have been having a lot of fun
lately, building a fine looking 12J/2-
foot plywood boat, and it was agreed
that the maiden voyage should be made
on the Deschutes river and the Wicki­
up Reservoir, since both men are avid
fishing enthusiasts. Due to unfavorable
weather conditions, fishing was very
poor in that section, but a limit catch
was made on South Twin Lake. The
^uccess of their catch and the proven

sea-worthiness of their craft made the
two-day excursion a very enjoyable
outing.
Ed Campbell, another sportsman in
the Tax Commission, spent his two
weeks vacation in very much the same
manner as Mr. Searcy and Mr. Reavis.
His fishing jaunts were spent on the
many creeks between Redmond, La
Grande, and Baker. His catch was very
large, and the weather was ideal—proof
of the last statement was the healthy
looking tan he displayed after return­
ing to the office.
Arthur W. Lamka, president of Mar­
ion chapter, spent a week’s vacation
visiting relatives in Washington. In
Bremerton, he and Mrs. Lamka were
the guests of their son and daughter-
in-law, Lt. Comm, and Mrs. Ray
Lamka. While in Seattle, Mr. Lamka
visited with his brother. A scene of un­
usual interest viewed while on the trip
was the remains of the Narrows bridge
which collapsed two years ago. Since
that time a ferry has been in use to
transport passengers over the Sound.
