ICKES DESCRIBES SELF
AS 'JUST HOD CARRIER'
FOR GREATEST BUILDER
SEATTLE, Aug. 3. (AP) Secre
tary Ickea. who described himself
last night as "Just the hod carrier
for the greatest builder of all time
President Roosevelt," rested here to
day preparatory to sailing tomorrow
with his wife aboard the steamer Mt.
McKinley for Alaska.
Introduced to a rally of builders,
architects, labor and civic leaders and
realtors as "the greatest btiUdor in
the notion today," Ickes In an un
scheduled address said he merely
helped CArry out a public works pro
gram of some $500,000,000 "to thc
end we might get business going "
He declared cooperation between
employer and labor Is a short cu,t
that will solve most building prob
lems. "You have talked cooperation here
tonight," he said. "I believe In this
sort of cooperation but we must also
have the cooperation of the public.
"Publlo money Is being spent. We
must have honest work, honest con
struction by contractora, honest work
for an honest days pay by labor."
Joe Wharton, who releases these
reliable fishing bulletins for the
Grants Pass Chamber of Commerce,
comes up with a
lulu this week.
Joe describes how
to do some "nig
ger fishing," as
he terms It, and
for nlmrods who
don't have much
luck with fltea It
should be Just
the thing.
He writes, "If

a few cans of sweet corn any brand
will do If It Is rich and creamy,
Remove the tops and empty the con
tents overboard. The kernels sink
slowly while a milky hue permeates
the water in an ever-widening circle
from the boat.
"Light your pipe, cigar or cigarette,
or what have you. and. with a cold
bottle within reach, relax for an hour
on the cushioned reclining chair
with which every boat used for lake
fishing should be equipped. Looking
Into deep water you will soon see
fish congregating, attracted from a
wide area by the cream of corn. When
they have gathered in sufficient
numbers to suit your fancy, throw
a few handfulle of "feed" eggs and
you will be gratified to see the
trout dart "greedily at them, vtelng
with one another to see which will

"When you hate accustomed
