In fact the quality of the flesh of any fresh water fish la determined to a great extent by the character of the wood on which the fish has subsist ed and the temperature of the water which It Inhabits It Is welt known that rainbow trout when taken from the sluggish sections of some of our streams In midsummer are much In ferior ln flavor to specimens of the same species from the swift, cold long for nearly everybody and almots all wlnUsr, too, fcr a few real cranks, salmon fishing Is of eomparatixely short daration.

However, sliver salmon fishing ln the Umatilla bve the dam at Pampbell, sinc-e the building of that obstruction to the ascent of migra tory fish, has heen almost a minus qimntlty. This fact has been due to the failure of the managers ot that project to carry out their agreement to so regulate the water at all times of the year when there are fish In the stream which may be trying tt ascend. Never since that dam was built has there been enough water passing over the spillway (which Is the only fish-way) whe the silver salmon run came up to It and, In consequence, practically no sliver sal mon have ever een ln the Umatilla rbove Campbell sine the dam was built.

These, engine have been tcld during a period covering the past fifteen years and for the most part have been sold to farmers. It took rock bed merit to increase the sale of the Stover Engine year by year until now it is by far the most popular of all engines. Every step in the manufacture of the Stover engine is taken with the buyer constantly in mind. Stover Engines are designed to be econ omical in cperation. They are designed to be light on upkeep cost. Examine any Stover Engine, Hopper cooled, vertical, or standard horizontal type and you cannot fail to be impressed with the simple straight line construction of the Stover, its ap parant simplicity and ruggedness throughout. TOVER prices are now the most favorable engine prices that can be had. The 1 Stover is made in sizes from one horse power to 60 and every Stover engine mrrif an inn elati otiarantee of Service to the User. While you are in tendletcn combine business with pleasure and look over this engine. Possibly it will be the means of solving your power and farm labor problem as it has tor thousands of others.
