(i. Vogt, J. E. Robertson, Judge Derby, K. W. Sinclair, J. B. Hunt. J. H. Fredricy, A. F. Adams, K. L. Mc Clain. E. A. Haker, W. L. Clark and Dr. F. D. Wilson. The fishermen struck camp in the woods, where Mr. Vogt, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Haker prepared an excellent picnic dinner. Despite the cold of the day, several of the fishermen caught a nice number of trout, frolicking in the water like young ducks at sport. Mr. Fredricy went diving, and suffered for awhile from water on the ear. Mr. Hunt was slightly injured by sitting down with sledge hammer impact on a boulder. Mr. Vogt did not cast a hook. "Lament in rhyme, lament in prose, Wi' salt tears trickling down your nose Our Ilardie's fate is at a close 1'oor Skeeter's dead." The above was written with apologies to "Bobbie" Burns, but the words of the tuneful Scot are recalled by the death of a devoted "dumb brute' and the mood in which it is written is sim ilar to that of Burnt.wben be inscribed the lines on the death of his favorite ewe, "Maihe." "Skeeter," little brown dog.known to many of the people of Hood River, for eight years has been the companion of the family of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moe, and one of the boosts at the Gla cier office, where he wss the favorite of every one. There is gloom at the office Monday morning, when it was learned that Skeeter had passed into that unknown bourne, from which cats may come, but from whence not even the best dog ever ventures back. The roily, polly brown "Skeeter" will lie missed. It wss his daily habit to visit the office and lie stretched out in a corner. He was rather reserved in his manner, but when he once became acquainted with any one, he was always ready to beg fur a tid bit. when hungry. It is prob able that his end was hsstened by too much rich food. The world is rapidly growing better -at any rate it is bound to smell bet- tnr 1 k lntat mnvpmpnt rif tihitun- thropy and public spirit is announced officially by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-1 road company. It is for the "hog iragrant. nenceiorin an pigs wnose fortune or misfortune it may be to be routed over the Baltimore & Ohio are to have barber and shower bath ser vice, just as passengers on the best limited trains are getting it. Hitherto, as may be generally known, pigs, no matter whether the aristo cratic Roland China or the more Demo cratic Berkshire, have traveled with less comfort than many tramps, and they have been just as unbathed. But, having done much to give human pass engers luxury, the railroad has decided that it is only fair that something should be done for the hog. Horses, cattle and sheep are also to reap the advantages of the modern de luxe ser vice in stock cars a la i'ullman. Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Heilbronner and Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Duncan and little daughter, Dorothy, spent the lutter part of last week on the West Fork and Lake Branch fishing. Mr. Duncan landed a 28 inch steelhead. He says the fishing on the Lake Branch is fine. Thomas W. Lawson and his secretary accompanied Bert Stranahan, of the Fashion Stable, on a fishing trip on the West Fork last Friday.

Bishop landed a thirty-seven and a half pound Chinook salmon below the Pacific Power & Light Co. 's dum lust week. 'I he tail of the big fish, thrown across Mr. Bishop's shoulders, dragged the ground.
