S--(Special.)-The proposal to make an appropriation for building a state fish hatchery at Olive' Lake. 24 miles west of Sumpter, has aroused considerable Interest. There are few place In the West that afford better fishing than Olive Lake. The small streams that flow Into It make a natural spawning ground for trout, and the water Is full of them at the time the Ice clears from the surface of the lake In May. It has long; been the custom for fisher men to go to these streams when the trout are spawning; and make a rersular slaughter of them. By many this is believed to ba the real cause of the de crease In the number of fish In the lake, and they think tnat a law protecting them till the first of June will do aa much good as would the building; of a state hatchery there, and save the state considerable money. .

The most important part of training is proper diet, food and drink' which will give strength and nerve power. That explains the popularity of MF-iFidllil COCOA among athletes. Now if strong husky young men find more nourishment and strength as well as exquisite deliciousness in Ghirardelli's Cocoat than in any other beverage, does it not occur to you that it might aid you too in attaining that proper physical "condition" which is the basis of all enjoyment and health. Ghirardelli's Cocoa is so wonderfully nutritious because it is made from the best cocoa beans, the kind that contains more nutriment than any other food known to man. D. Ghirardelli Co.
