Sun da he took his family to The Dalles on a pleasure jaunt The out going trip was fine and the return was also fine until they reached a place neaf the Dufur cemetery. There the Essex ran into a mud slide. The road crew was on hand and soon had cleared a roadway thru the slime. Tom steered his low-slung car ; thru about three feet of mud and eventually trot out Anothef man, driving like the mill tail of hades, approached the slide. He did not attend warning wagj but hit bolter skelter thru. Tom says he'll bet a cookie that fellow was a candidate for an auto washing when he got to a place where they launder cars. Dave Donaldson watches the river with the eye of a hawk. He keeps advised regarding the condi tion of the water, height and possi ble chances for fish runs. He cays that without an early flood thre will not be good fishing in the De schutes. He arrives at that conclu sion after watching the river for a number of years. We believe Dave knows his fishing onions, as he h one of the most, successful fisherman hereabouts. . - . . x -Clyde T.
