I*. s « There may be other men who have caught salmon but as tar as I know Sid Fritsow is practically the first local man to show the first salmon of th • season. He caught the fish it Gold Tiny dam and it weighed n the neighborhood of IS Ute. A small one all right, but boy you can sav? lots ut points on that fish. —u— u IH reported that salmon are be mg caught easily down at Grants Pass dally, Well, that's what the gang at (Jrants Pass nave been saying for the last two weeks or so. the truck driver, who drives truck between Grants Pass and Me 1- ford, lives right by the river, tell me that the fishing is very rotten though there are hundreds of salmon rolliiic- over the top by his hole, He was much surprised when I told him that they are beginning to catch sal mon down at Gold Ray dam. ile said it looks like he will have to come up to the Gold Ray dam and try hi luck. —<1— Trout fishing is just fair. Th - water seems to be pretty good but still too cold. The best fishing seem- to be right along the bushy edge ot the river as long as you don’thave any trouble in getting tangled up with the brush and your flies. But if you try to fish out in the open, you won't have much luck. . —o— There are still too many bug floating down at Dodge Bridge but as soon as they are gone, the fishing should improve. —0— I am afraid that in about a month or so the popular brand of fly such as Royal Coat hman or Gray Hackl" yellow body, will be very haifl to get as there seems to be a shortage of I every store flies in nowadays, guess I will have to learn how- to make flies for my own use.

Thomas Edi son walked Into the office -of the Scientific American, opened a pack- ' age, exhibited a strange looking piece of equipment, turned a crank and from the machine came the words "Good morning: What do you think i of the phonograph ?” It is needless to say- that all work in that office discontinued pronto. Some til- ugb, it was a fraud, One Methodist Bi shop accused Edison of veutribo- quism. To prove it was a fraud he shouted into the receiving phonogra phic at top speed a "tong list of poly- syllabic biblical names. The phono- graph repeated them right back at him.

Both had been living there a number of years. It has often been asked "why are dummy clocks all set at 8:18?" Some said "because that was tl.e hour and time cf Abraham Lincoln’s assassf- nation or death." Neither is true: Lincoln was shot at 10:10 in the evening and died at 7:80 the follow- ing morning, The reason for the hands being so placed on "dummy clock" is to permit better space for advertising.
