A raincoat or at least a water

An umbrella would be ideal, but

After all, I have aeen a time
when a spare pair of hands
would come In handy tn help
land some of these fish. Tha holi
day and this weekend was not
one of the times, however, for
moat of us. Fishermen from this
area scattered to all parts of the
country In search ol the illusive
trout and his kin, but very few
could produce very much in the
way of evidence to the contrary
that a nice quiet weekend wasn t
spent at homa mowing the lawn
or fixing the back fence.
With fingers crossed, a good
number decided to try DIA
MOND LAKE, Just In case they
might be wrong. There were to
my knowledge about one half
dozen limits and the fish caught
averaged about two per fisher
man. Most of the fish caught
wore on bait, either single or
cluster eggs. Trolling Just didn't
work in any of the many variet
ies. Tha opening of the UMPQUA
RIVER found a goodly number
of fishermen and all kinds of
conflicting stories as to the type
of lure used. Some of the best
fish I saw were caught on flies.
In the same party a limit was
caught on Tandem spinner and
files with an occasional switch
to eggs. Some steelheada were

THE NORTH FORK OF THE

a little high and roilly, had the
holiday spirit and the visitors
were rewarded with some nice
fish, mostly on cluster eggs.
THE KLAMATH RIVER

on Sunday In a blaze of glory.
Some of the nicest fish of the

on flies. Don t forget to keep
the KLAMATH RIVER on your

California Puts 'Do-Pass on
Horse Racing 'Breakage Bill
By T. M. BRIGHT
SACRAMENTO. June 4 (UP)
A state horse-racing bill propos
ing a $500,000 increase In state
revenue from tracks and a bet
ter "break" for the bettor was
reported out with a "do pass"
recommendation Tuesday night
by the senate governmental effi
ciency committee.
The measure was the result of
weeks of committee hearings
and, in general, followed some
of Governor Culbert Olson's
recommendations in a message
to the legislature Tuesday.
Of the greatest interest to
horse-players, was the com
mittee's suggestion that "break

Coach Firing
SALINAS, Calif., June 4 (JF)
A citizen's committee, appointed
to investigate the ouster of
Coach Marlon (Tiny) Hall from
his position at Salinas Union
high school, said his dismissal
was based on "trivial and petty
reasons," which, in themselves,
"did not Justify" the school
board's action.
Coach Hall, who won football,
basketball and track champion
ships for the school this year.
lost his position after he was
not recommended for reappoint
ment by Principal A. M. Davis.
The board upheld Davis who
said Hall had "failed to cooper
ate." For two days after that action
students paraded the streets in
protest.
The citizens' committee report
today vindicated Hall "of any
offense of consequence.'
Hall, who coached here three
years, is a graduate of Univer
sity of Oregon, where he played
on the Webfoot football line for
several seasons. Before coming
to Salinas he coached at the
