C1 WORKS HIS PASSAGE! . 'fittg OT; Introducing Mr. Dawson, j "The Most Shot Uo Live Man Ja the War." (By United Press.) Loudon, Feb. 6. (By mail.) "A modern miracle, of physical endurance and surgery" is the way doctors de scribe the case of Private G. A. Dawson, JOth Yorkshire Regiment, probably the most shot up live man of the war. The Germans wasted enough shrap nel on Dawson's head to kill a dozen men. A few days after Dawson was hit my a shell inNorthern France, sur geons probed from a wound in his fore lead the following debris: A large jiicee of steel, many fragments of wood and part of his cap. For twenty davs Dawson remained unconscious, his face swollen and black. Surgeons and nurses snook their aeausi over him often but Dawson refused to die. Finally, having persisted in his liold on life until December 3, ho was removed to a hospital in Boulogne where French doctors applied the X Tay. What they saw prompted them to op erate New Years day. They extracted another fragment'of shell weighing al most three ounces. This missile had en tered Dawson's face just above the nose and penetrated downward to his cheek. It was taken out via the same Toute by which it entered and the opera tion was completely successful. A few days later Dawson was sent to London. Here in the King George Military Hospital he suffered another oicration. This time it was on bis left eye. The force -of the blow from the (brapnel had warped the eye into a SALMON: ITS Here are some observations on fresh water salmon and trout fishing. The first is, you cannot be taught to fish. Ton may go and see men fish. I may go out today and get a salmon to rise on a fly. I may go. tomorrow and not get a rise. I may use a live minnow or dead bait, such as a colic. The last-mentioned is a small fish about the eizo of minnow, but a different color, being brown on the back. I have area meu try tly finhing i1-. pools f r ealmou. J he eo'lie was the winning bait, 'tomorrow go to the same stream and the fly will be the winner. And why! The water that was high yesterday may be low to day. Therefore, the fly is the winner. As the water recedes it becomes cleur. Then the fly is the best lure. The sal mon is the ford of the fresh water fish. A great many fishermen think a salmon is hungry when he will rise to a fly. My friends, such is not the case. A salmon is lord of the fresh water when he comes in from the sea. In fact, he U master. He wants the right of way. All other fish have to give him a wide berth. A live colie or a minnow can wim by. He won't mind. A natural fly can float down the stream. But fix up a minnow or colic, bend its tail in a war that the bait will attract him, and be is yours. Bear in mind a salmon is not hungry not by any means. It is the gaudy appearance of the lure that makes salmon rise. He is on his honeymoon and tie is master of the river. I linve teen the natural or green wing fly jas over salmon. Yet I have seen sal WILSON'S PLEA BEINGS FORTH "TERRITORIALS'' (By United Press.) Beaver Falls, Feb. 2H. As an answer to the wido-spread plea for preparedness an orgauiza- tion wis under way here today -for a company of. men, all na- tive born Americans over 45, for duty at home in case their ser- vices are needed. They intend to call themselves "Territorials" as their duty will be in their own territory. ' The first company will be formed at New Brighton and other branches the orgauiza- tion will then be taken up in other valley towns,. The com- panies will not be identified with army organizations but will prepare to take up the work of tne younger men in case tney are called away. An entire regi- ment of "territorials" will be formed in the county. useless position. The surgeon carefully extracted the eye and put it back with the focus at the proper angle. "He's all fixed up now," the sur geons announced today. "He'll soon bo going back to the trenches." It probably will be months before Dawson will be able to re-join the army but it is his one desire to get revenge. He hails from the litle town of Bish op Auckland, Durham, where he joined the army during the first ton days of the war. It was five months iu the trenches for Dawson before he was hit. MANY MORS mon rise at my large trout flies. Now, my friends, you cannot be taught to an gle for salmon or trout. You must learn from your infancy. Don't deceive your self or bo deceived. I have knowu fish ermen to fish streamB with the finest flics that ever were tried. I saw a man try to fish the same stream with a fly, red woolen thread for a body, n feather from a cock's neck hackle, a few slight variations in the wing, yet he rose and killed a salmon that a gool many gaudy flies went over. And why? Because the salmon wus in the humor at that time. Don't iy he va-a hungry. There are no'hui.gry salmon coming from the tide. As I a-.id before, tut salmon was on his bondmuni. A trout is a wary fis'i. It rciu''es more skill to catch a tnrt than salmo1;. Ju fret, a salmon is a fool compared to a tm-.t. A trout takes a bait because he is hun gry. He will take the worm or minnow in the spring when the water is high. As summer advances the fly is bis fa vorite. Night fly fishing is not prac ticed in this country. The trout is one of the gamest fish in the world for his size. There- is no other fish to beat him, considering his size. He surpasses the nalmon. I believe the fiiiust trout streams in the world are here in t United States. There is one good stream near here, the Eaopus, in the Catskills. Also the stream in Fort Montgomery. Sad to say. I don 't think these streams are well supplied with fish. Trout rise because they are hungry; salmon be cause they are sports. M. J. Doyle, in Sporting Life. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON.

Work on the electrification of the Southern Pacific 's west side line from Whiteson to Corvallis is to begin at once, according to announcement to day of Ealph E. Moody, general at torney for the company. Delay up to this time has been caused solely by the negotiations before the Cor vallis city council regarding fran chises and the affairs of the old Port land, Eugene & Eastern Tailway, taken over by the Southern Pacific. Mr. Moody said the company has acceded to all the termts imposed by the Cor vallis city council and that the city council has in turn acceded to the re quests of the company whereby no old contract bond put up by the P., E. & E., is canceled. It was upon this contract bond that the whole negotiations nearly split. With no street railway plan figuring in its own scheme of operation, the Southern Pacific was eonfronled with the proposition of being obliged to carry out the original street railway franchises of the P., E. k E., for which the bond was put up. Threats were made by a former city council to bring suit to forclose and declare this bond forfeited. The air was cleared several months ago when Assi-stant General Manager D. W. Campbell presented a new proposition to the new council, promising to start actual construction work as soon as the old complications wore straightened out. The ordinance has now been finally signed and work will begin as soon as Mr. t.ampbelj rc turns from an extended sojourn in Sao Francisco. Dallas Observer. QUILL PUSHERS ORGANIZE Messrs. N. C.

SUMMER HOTEL BURNED The Wilhoit Springs Hotel and two cottages at the resort, located 0 miles above Mplalla, were burned to the ground between 8 and B o'clock Mon day morning with a loss of approxi mately $8,000. There wus no insurance either on the buildings or any of the furnishings. Tho cause of the fire has not. been definitely settled. The hotel, which contained 40 rooms, was built between 45 and 00 years ago by John Wilhoit and was owned by the Wilhoit Mineral Springs company, it. S. McLaren and hiB brother, Frank W. McLaren, who control tho property, were at the Springs when t.io fire oc curred. The hotel is closed during the winter and only one patron was there. Frank McLaren and the patron lett the build ing after breakfast and a few minutes after H o'clock saw fire break out. They tried to extinguish the blaze with chem ical extinguisheds but their efforts were useless. WOODBURN CLEARING HOUSE HAD BIG DAY SATURDAY The heaviest egg receipts iu the short time the clearing home has been in operation were last Saturday when nearly 800 dozen were received. People of this vicinity are beginning to realize the benefits of this insti tution, as not only hogs, veal eggs and Kiultry have been offered in lib eral quantities, but potatoes, tieaiis and onions have also been pre sented. At present the association has one order for 250 sacks of potatoes and 50 socks of No. 1 onions and is en deavoring to fill the sumo if the growers will sell ttt the price offered by tho purchaser. Egg Circle members are being reg istered daily and it is hoped before long that all egg producers of this en tire section will become members. This is the only proper method of sell 'nR eggs as it pays the producer the extra money for the quantity of hi eggs. Borne have asked the question as to what percentage of eggs ore Circle eggs. Circlo eggs aro eggs that will weigh two ounces each. This, of course, depends upon the king of hens, but already some Circlo members have as high as 75 per cent of the total, others only 50 per cent being Circle eggs. But even then the extra two eents per dozen makes consid erable difference in their returns. There have been rumors that the clearing bouse was not paying as much m the stores, but thee rumors are false and someone has been mis informed, as the mcrehanta them selves operate the clearing houso and it would be useless to operate unless the prices were juat as much as the store! pay. Anyone having other produce than the jtmes now being regularly pur chased would do well to talk with the manager and secure prices before selling elsewhere. Woodbura Indepen dent. STAYTON NEWS E. C.
