Parkers (Or. & C.) The report from this station comes in the following garb: 

 "The best way to catch trout is on a string, and the best bait is silver or greenbacks- 

 The liest way to hunt salmon is in the spring of the year when they go up on the 

 hills to browse on fir buds, to take a good breech loading shot gun and shoot them 

 on the wing. I do not know much about catching chubs, but the best way to bait 

 for suckers is to use a bottle of chain lightning. It will get them every time. Our 

 ocal anglers have gone to Washington, D. C. The tallest ones are trying to get 

 nto Cleveland's cabinet, and the common sized ones will get into anything they 

 an. Their favorite grounds are around the Treasury building, as long as it lasts, 

 n conclusion I will say that there is no good fishing around here.
