Brooks Appliance is a new 
scientific discovery with auto¬ 
matic air cushions that draws

and never slips, always light 
and cool and conforms to every 
movement of the body without 
chafing or hurting. I make it 
to your measure and send it to 
you on a strict guarantee of 
satisfaction or money refund¬ 
ed and I have put my price so 
low lhatanybody, rich or poor, 
canbuy'it. Remember, I make 
it to your order—send it to you 
—you wear it—and if it doesn't satisfy you, you send it back to 
me and I will refund your money. The banks or any responsi¬ 
ble citizen in Marshall will tell you that is the way I do busi¬ 
ness—always absolutely on the square and I have sold to thou¬ 
sands of people this way for the past 3U years. Remember, 1 
use no salves, no harness, no lies, no fakes. I just give you a 
straight business deal at a reasonable price,

due time. The man's face was covered with 
sweat and his clothes with blood. The bear was 
a young male, weighing (without entrails) 157 
pounds; no great weight for a strong man on 
level ground, but a heavy burden for a log- 
strewn trail, partly through water and every¬ 
where brush covered. The hide was a beautiful 
one, and the meat was sweet and palatable. 
Fishermen passing up and down the little river 
must of necessity come close to our cabin; that 
is, the steep hills compel them to travel through 
the narrow valley and across private property. 
These men and boys are all native lovers, 
whether they know it or not, for they are not 
very well paid by the comparatively few small 
fishes which they capture. They surely find 
something else in the waters, or they would not 
come again and again. They are almost invari¬ 
ably pleasant and willing talkers, ready to report 
their ‘ luck ’ and to tell about their bait, and 
even to open the creels for inspection, especially 
when there happens to be something handsome 
inside. 
Angle worms and salmon eggs are the most 
usual lures for trout. Flies are exceptional, as 
would be expected in a densely forested region. 
It is common to employ a small, bright whirling 
spoon or shiner to attract the attention of the 
fish. The average trout size is not large; per¬ 
haps just about the same as on the Atlantic slope, 
but a trout is a trout, and every fisherman loves 
him, regardless of his inches or his ounces. 
There are several sorts of trout on the Pacific 
coast, including some (or many) hybrids. Cer¬ 
tain of the salt water forms follow the salmon 
into the streams in autumn and remain there all 
winter, affording fine sport to anglers in the 
spring. 
The salmon of the Pacific (five species) be¬ 
long to a different genus from the salmon of 
the Atlantic. All the salmon of the Pacific, it 
is said, ascend the streams but once. After 
spawning, they perish. 
My personal knowledge of salmon is confined 
to a short and partial acquaintance with two 
species; the two which enter our stream every 
autumn. In respect to one of them there is 
good reason to say that all die soon after spawn¬ 
ing, as none are ever seen going down stream. 
But in respect to the other (the so-called “silver” 
salmon) the case is not so clear, for it is not 
uncommon to see them drifting tail foremost 
toward the sea. 
The trained observers who state that all the 
Pacific salmon ascend the rivers but once are 
probably correct, but the behavior of the silver 
salmon suggests interesting possibilities. It is 
not impossible that this species shows some¬ 
thing of an ancestral trait; something of the 
habit of returning to salt water. Time after 
time I have detected a silver salmon descending 
the stream. Taking note of its behavior and 
speed' I have gone down to a lower point of 
observation, there to await its coming with a 
certainty of seeing it. 
That these spent fish actually reach salt water 
is pretty certain, as they are reported in the bay. 
But that they live is not certain. They are iden¬ 
tified by their bruised and used-up appearance, 
and it is quite probable that they soon perish and 
become food for the gulls.
