Little Stories of Life and

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.
