tion had reached him he had consid

J. H. Koberg, owner of the Twedti-
eth Century Truck Farm, recently ap
plied to the state land board for pur
chase of the shore land adjoining his
place. The board apparently looked
favorably on the application and its
formal advertisement was authorised.
iAter, however, the board reverted
itself and offered only a short time
lease to Mr. Koberg, who wishes title
the land. In order that he may
proceed with an investment in im-
proving bis Iteach. lie declares that
he will not lie justified in an lnvoot-
ment in the besch, unless he can se
cure title or a long time lease on the
shore lands. The city council Mon
day night adopted a resolution urging
the state land board to grant bis
request. _______________
TALES OF INCONGRU
OUS VERACITY TOLD
erman who had taken him out, how
ever, finally started the line, and
when It waa near the boat it ap
peared that a fish nine feet long, with
a bead five feet across waa on the
book. The old ' flsbermman, announc
ing that it waa a big monk fish,
knocked it off with his huge gaff. In
side its mouth was a dog fish. When
it was removed a mutilated haddock
was found to have been the original
snare, enticed by the little monk fish.
H. G. Ball related adventures of
himself and Mr. Steele in not catch
ing fish in the Washington country
last summer. The two men caught
one trout, which later almost got
them In trouble. It was I the

at Sanctuary lakes, a private preserve
In Skamania county.
Mr. Steele, in order to keep the
stories rolling, told a few himself, as
be Introduced raconteurs. One of
these, which was vouched for by 8. E.
Bartmess, had to do with a huge
salmon that was hooked one day up
Hood river. The leviathan started
off down stream and the fisherman
followed. The fish looked back over
its shoulder, and instead of taking a
bend in ths stream ran out on dry
land, wbere it was clubbed to death.
Mr. Scobee, after the onslaught,
threw in the sponge, and asked the
judges to award the belt to someone
else.
Rev. Hutchinson, without parley,
announced that the unanimous verdict
of the judges had awarded the tkle
to Mr. Steele; that be had fallen lato
the pit which he had dug for some
other teller of talea on incongruous
veracity.
Leslie Butler, who for a number of
years has been one of the

supporters of the T. M. O. A. of the
state, urged that «others of the city
