U m Life’s Powers Properly. ABOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW • • • • Little Stories of Life and Doings of Your Neighbor Sometime« the thought of what may lie Just beyond the hori»on breeds discontent in a man's soul. It Is the disixmtent that has discovered new worlds and developed old ones: It has pushed the western frontier westward till the western frontier has slipped off into the Pacific and is no more. This discontent got af-. ter Attorney A. C. Hough one day, and before its fever had burned out Mr. Hough was chasing a fortune on the streets of Seattle. The clients came and friendships were formed, but the spirit of Hough was not stilled. The trouble was that Hough's life had become attuned to the song of the Rogue; he longed for the merry music of its rushing rapid: for the mirrored magic in its polish ed pool; but he longed most for the electric thrill that comes from a six- pound steelhead tied up to light tackle and furnishing the vim and the vigor for a mighty battle before he is brought to creel. And the call of the Rogue won. Hough came back. Be h® had lost a full year of fishing, ana it had to be made up. When the steelheads were rising to the fly Hough was after them regu larly and successfully. Then the big fellows quit coming to the surface to feed. They followed the spawn ing salmon and fed along the bottom ; of the stream. Then only the bait fisherman could make a catch—and i Hough was not brought up that way., But the year he had lost worried him. and he fought with his con science and conscience was loser. He concluded to go after ’em with bait. Deputy Sheriff Ernest Uster told Hough he knew where they could catch loads of the big *uns with eggs. Hough agreed to procure the bait, and to auto around after Ernest be- daylight Sunday morning, fore Hough was snagging two fish with one gaff. He was getting an early •tart so as to make a long day for Ashing, and then he was getting out before his neighbors could discover that he had fallen from grace and was going after the steelheads with , bait. Sunday morning he was on, deck before the street lights were turned off. Ernest came out and hopped into the auto. “Got the batt. Hough?” was his greeting. "Sure. I bought all the market had. We are loaded for ’em today.” 'And they whirled down the road below the mouth"of the Applegate, went across the fields to the Rogue. Hough with his rubber boots swung around his neck. When Ernest was ready he asked for bait. Hough reached but could find no bait. Certainly he had purchased it. He remembered tak ing ft home and putting ft in the auto. No doubt about ft. Then he walked back to the auto, Still no bait, They autoed back to town, 12 miles. They hunted the Hough resi- dence from cellar to garret. Then Ernest suggested that they try and beg a roll of bait of Eclus Pollock. Eclus was easy, and Hough and Us ter were again on the banks of the. Rogue, but the sun was near its, meridian. Uster was in the water' first. Hough pulled on one boot; then the other, when "squash,” his • loot crushed into jelly pounds of salmon roe that had rested all the time down in the bottom of his boot where he now remembered having placed it. It had travelled with him through the fields, over 36 miles of highway, within inches of his nose, yet he had lost half a day’s fishing for the want of it. Uster is not es pecially sensitive, but he plugged bis two ears to shut out the awful things that were floating in the air along the banks of the Rogue. * * * The fish of the Rogue are partak ing of a real piscatoral banquet these days. The river is fail of spawn and the fish lie below the spawning grounds and catch the Chinook eggs, big as marbles, as they roil down with the current. A steelhead was caught the other day with 5(5 of these salmon eggs in his gullet. That was quite a meal. But a cutthroat has got them all beat when it comes to capacity. His appetite is never satis fied. Wllford Allen Jr. caught a pound cutthroat a couple of weeks ago that had an even 80 chinool eggs in his tomach and mouth. The I eggs had all been taken within a few minute« as they were absolutely fresh, and when placed In a jar and kept for several days showed that practically all of them were still liv ing for the embryonic salmon con* iinued their devlopment. The cut throat is the glutton of the stream. Quartz blank« at Courier office. sm non. mu umac ut». nun. «IIAXT» PASS Itili.\ IXH HU B PACK TWO There Is no wealth but life: life.
