lines and you must have the majority with you to accomplish much. 
When I find a man who does not respond to good treatment, I will get

I think a very important duty of a deputy warden is to push the 
improvements on streams and lakes in his district by stocking and

All the creeks are high and the weather rather cool and the fish-

warmer. The John Day and Deschutes Rivers are high and muddy. 
Hood River is rather high, but clear, and quite a good many steelheads 
are being caught.
