NOTES FROM COUNTIES

 bow weighed eight pounds. 



BENTON COUNTY. 



P. Archibold, George Tripp, Eoy 

 and Ed Bier returned recently from

C. C. Bryan, of Corvallis, reports 

 the fishing in the streams in this 

 county particularly good at this 

 time. Anglers are now finding the 

 fishing better in Marys River than 

 ever before, due to the fact that a 

 fishway was installed at the Fischer 

 dam last year. Some of the trout 

 caught were fifteen inches in length, 

 chub being used for bait.

 that locality who has not seen a pair
