  but 
  few 
  places 
  favorable 
  for 
  a

   Two 
  small 
  streams, 
  the 
  ifoyo 
  and 
  the 
  Giialala, 
  flowing 
  from 
  the 
  

   mountain 
  range, 
  enter 
  the 
  Pacitic

  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  county. 
  

   Small 
  settlements 
  near 
  the 
  outlets 
  of 
  these 
  streams 
  are 
  the 
  homes 
  of 
  a 
  

   few 
  men 
  who 
  fish 
  for 
  steelhead 
  trout.
