HOW TROUT BIT IN THE
' DESCHUTE IN 1913
Sory of Capture of Dollyvarden A
Told By A. R. Altarmatt
of Shaniko Bank
A. R. Altcrmatt cashier of the
Dunk of Shaniko, vouchsafed the fol
lowing ancnt the capture of a mon
ster Dollyvarden trout while fishing
in the Deschutes river. The story
appeared in the Maupin Monitor of
July 25, 1913, and is attested by Mr.
Altormatt's companion, E. II Hull,
at that time conducting the fc'haniko
restaurant:
A. R. Altermatt, bookkeeper In
the Eastern Oregon Banking Co.'i
bank, and E. 11. Hall of the Shaniko
Restaurant left Sunday morning for
a fishing trip on the Deschutes river
w,here they enjoyed the week- to
their full satisfaction. They return
ed today and here is the account of
their trip:
"We had just pitched camp r.t
the Johnny Farre place v. hen we
concluded to go out and try our
luck for a mess of trout for din
ner," said Arch, "and we hac not
gone for when wo saw an enor
mous Dollyvarden, the biggest 1 1
ever saw, laying in a hole just be
yond casting dititance from the bank, '

hole and cunt In aftolUU Mmcrici:
baited with a large trout fly, and
'the hook had no more than hit the
water when thut fish made a runh
with his mouth wide open and liter
ally swallowed the bait, hook and all.
)Vc reeled him in and out for half
an hour but could not get him
within reach of tho boat. Just
then, an idea struck me; the next
timfi wo got it in about six feet of
the boat and I hit it over tho head
with an oar stunning hitn. Up he
came, belly up. Then 1 jumped
ashore grabbed a horee 'collar, and
slipped it over the fishe's head and i
back to just behind the gills. K
hit snug, and he couldn't shake it
off. Then I tied one end of a lino
to tho collar and the other end to
tho boat and we jumped aboard to
pull him in. Just then that trout
ramo to, and like a flash down the
river ho went, yanking the oil
boat along with ease. Well sir,
that blumed fish hauled us nearly
to Maupin and turned around and
pulled us bock within a hundred
yards of camp when it gave out
and we killed it. Yes sir, that
was some trout If you don't be

Feeding Ponds 774,000
od Into Them
We have heard some dissension
regarding the money subscribed by
xr.. i.. 1. t a. x
, , ;T " Vc IT ""ru"
lon ot the k sPrin trout hatch-
ery. In soma circles there seems to
be an Idea that the hatchery is idle; .
that no trout, or any other fish, are
bong turned out there. '
Such is not the case. This sea-
son 750,000 trout, many of which
had attained a growth of 15 inches,
'were released in the Deschutes, and
last season an equal number of
. other fish were hatched and let go
in the waters of the f .nr st trout
. . . . . ,
stream in the world,
.... ...
At the present time there already
have been turned into the feeding
; ponds 774,000 fingerling rainbow
trout. In ', the hatching troughs
there are 1,710,000 trout nnd these
will be loosened for feeding just as
soon aa additional pond room is pro
vided. J 'v.
biUUb, ICCUUjr MttLVIlVU, Wilt UV I1GIU
with the first hatch, until they are
at least eight inches in length. At
present ths total number of trout
in troughs and in ponds at the
hatchery number 1,845,000, quite a
supply for the benefit of anglers
who prefer the Deschutes as a fish
ing stream.
A. B. Smith, manager of the Oak
Springs plant, "knows his onions'
in the hatchry game. His exper
ience covera practically his whole
undor nij care the ioss oC
eggs and trout is negligible. In
fact it is seldom one can see a dead
trout in the ponds under hii care.
With the coming of spring next
year the trout on hand will have at-
- . , . .... A ,
tamed a aize sufficiently large to
enable them to protect themselves
when released. When trout are turn
ed into the river as soon aa hatched
but a very small percentage sur
Uve, but when they are allowed to
j,tov all winter they grow strong
and fleet and are able to escre the
oiulaughts of larger fish. Theio

from eight to 10 inches in length.
NEW SCHEME TO STEAL
CARS FROM TRAVELERS
Lady Returning to Michigan From
Visit in Maupin Telle of At
tempt to Carry off Auto
About ten days ago Mrs. Robt.
Wilcox, sister of Mrs. A. J. Barkham,
left for her home at Owosso, Michi
gan She was met at Chicago by her
husband in a car. The couple left
the Windy City for home, stopping
at Michigan City, Indiana, for a
brief rest Both went to sleep. Mr.
Wilcox was awakened by his dog
licking his face and upon looking out
of the rear window of the car saw a
wrecking car ready to hook on to his
auto. One of the menv with the
Wrecker saw him and turning to his
companion remarked, '.'There's a guy
in this car; we'd better beat it."
Thus a new graft in stealing cars
was exposed, it evidenty being the
practice , of car thieves to hook onto
parked cars and under cover of tow-
; ing them to a garage make v.'-y with
them.
