"lflshcrmnn's Luck" ns Experienced by llasclion, Dcitzcr, Eck and
Moulton Work Started on the Sew County lsridge Tlio until
olle Cemetery to be Enlarged Saw Mill to bo Ke-ltuilt
at Hoadlcys Hawley Minister Uecelves an Appoint
ment of Honor Personal Mention, Etc.
With overcoats, and flshlnR rods, and
well stockqd cans of bait,
With "grub" a-plenty close at hand, for
hungry folks won't wait,
And all the other things you know wo
call "et cetcr-a,"
Four Hawley llshermen set forth at early
dawn of day. ....
They smiled, they feasted, wet their feet,
and also wet their lines,
And possibly their throats they wet, whllo
resting 'neath the pines:
Tho only cloud that marred their sport or
'sturbed their happy dream
Was when they cast the dying trout back
in the rushing stream.
HE ghost of Walton, the old-
time English poet and fish
erman who didn't know
any better than to spell his
front name "I-z-aa-k,"
must havo been hovering over Haw
ley In the early part of this week,
for on Monday his disciples, or at
least four of them, were abroad In
quest of Fish and Pun. Tho wind
was not exactly in the east, rather
south of east, and fishermen all
realize that
When the wind is in the south
It blows tho bait in the llsh's mouth.
Bright and early they were "on the
job" well supplied with necessary
bait, grub and patience. Three of
the four went out to South Sterling
out whero Brock Lesher catches
big ones. The three were J. A. Bas
chon, the genial and obliging pro
prietor of Hotel Koiiler, Gus Deitzer
and Henry Eck. When they "round
ed up" for tho day and compared
notes It was found that Baschon had
to his credit 20, Deitzer 18 and Eck
16. The trout ran from 8 to 10 in
ches in length, and were a fine lot of
fish.
The fourth fisherman was W. C.
Moulton, who cast his lines nearer
home in the waters of the chatter
ing Wangum. In his basket were
14 handsome follows, just as fine
specimens as the Indians over took
from its foaming current more than
a century ago.
While on this subject it seems well
to introduce another matter right on
the line of fish and fishing, especial
ly on tho line, (or string, if you like
the word hotter), of trout fishing.
Mr. Baschon said that as under the
law all trout under six inches long
must be returned to the stream, the
result of tho day's sport was disastr
ous to tho fish. Trout under six
Inches long don't know anything
about tho fish and game laws, and
they are just as hungry as their larg
er brothers and sisters. When they
grab the bait tho fellow with the
pole doesn't know how long they
are, so out they come, hooked
through tho eye, perhaps, and in
variably so badly wounded that they
are practically dead when returned
to the stream. Mr. Baschon con
tends that this law that demands
their return is a bad law and should
bo repealed right away suddenly, and
in its placo should be substituted a
law limiting the number of fish that
may be taken In a day, and that num
ber must bo composed of large and
small, long and short, and actually
prohibiting the return of any trout
to the waters from which they have
heen hooked. Ho believes that the
result would not be so destructive
to the trout as Is the present law.
Mr. Baschon's suggestion, coming as
it does from a practical sportsman,
who most naturally wants to con
serve game fish, looks good to the
writer of this, who likes to eat fresh
fish, who used to find pleasure In
catching pickerel and tho "easier"
species of tho finny tribe, but who
never was skillful and sly enough to
catch trout, and who nowadays is
too busy writing fish stories to And
time to go after tho real article.
t t
At Work on tho
New County Bridge.
Across Main street on both en
trances of the Middle Creok bridge
wire fences havo been stretched as
taut as the head to a big bass drum,
and right in the centre of each fence
is a big Ted banner, tho signal of
danger, as well as tho banner of the
Socialistic party. Pcdestrlanism
over that bridge has been provided
for on tho east side, but it will bo
some time ere the wire fences will bo
taken down and wagon traffic will bo
resumed. Workmen are busily en
gaged taking down tho old bridge,
and ns they remove bolts, nuts, and
heavy braces and stringer pieces, the
onlooker Is Impressed with tho truth
of the good old theory of "every man
to his trade." Great Scott! How
terribly some of us would get our
fingers pinched if wo should tackle a
job like that.
Tho new bridge will bo much
wider than the old structure, and
when It Is completed will bo a credit
both to county as well as town. It
will afford ample room for auto
mobiles to pass, while pedestrians
will havo wide promenades on either
side well protected from autos and
teams.
t t
W. J. Cobb's Saw Mill
To bo Re-Built.
W. J. Cobb, who for the past ten
years has been dplng extensive lum
bering for tho Pennsylvania Coal Co.,
with mills at various points in the
vicinity of Hawley, has a force of
men at work rebuilding the saw mill
at Hoadleys that was destroyed by
Are one night last fall. This mill
was at one time one of the most Im
portant of his entire system, yet
when It went up in flames it was
not supposed that it would bo re
built. However, it appears there is
considerable lumber in that vicinity
yet to be sawn, and a.' the mill is lo
cated on a railroad switch, It was
found to bo very expedient to re
build it.
t t
Hawley Catholic Cemetery
To He Enlarged.
On last Sunday evening members
of the congregation of St. Philo
mena's It. C. church held an import
ant meeting for the purpose of con
sidering options on a new cemetery,
as the congested condition of the
old cemetery, which has been used
for the past sixty years, demanded
Instant action. At the meeting three
sites .were considered. A vote was
taken with the result that It was
decided to tako five acres of land
adjoining tho present cemetery. A
commltteo of five men was appointed
to negotiate for tho purchaso of the
Ave acres, to report at tho next meet
ing. That committee met the own
ers of tho desired land on Tuesday,
and undoubtedly the enlargement
will bo favorably reported as a re
sult of such meeting.
t t
Hawley Minister Receives
An Honorary Appointment.
Rev. Donald MacKellar. of the M,
E. church, has been appointed Grand
Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
of Pennsylvania. And thus the lit
tle, bustling town under the hills
continues to receive honors. As to
Rev. MacKollar's appointment, it is
of an honorary nature entirely, and
there is no emoluments connected
with It. Therefor. If any of tho Haw
ley congregation think of cutting out
their regular subscription because
"tho preacher won't need it now."
our advice Is the ono word that
Dickens mado famous in his living
character of Weller "don't."

Hawley Coal Company
Building New Chutes.
The Hawley Coal Company Is im

we do, and they are Hawleyltes, sure
thing! But they will remove to that
town one of these days, for work on
the now shop up there is progressing
quite rapidly, the foundation being
about one-half done. A change in
location has been made from the site
of tho old excelsior factory to tho
foundation whero years ago George
W. Hall and his son Arthur made

St. Phllomcna Choir Give
An Operatic Rehearsal.
St. Phllomena's Choir and Sunday
school teachers are getting very
much in earnest over their forth
coming opera. An entertainment
and rehearsal was held at Bowers'
hall recently. The opera Is said to
be of a high order, and those who
have opportunity of judging of its
merits are very much pleased. Af
ter tho entertainment and rehearsal
dancing followed.
t t
Two Dignitaries of
Famous Pnupack River.
You never would suspect that
Fred Schalm had a bungalow up on
the Paupack river If you were only
to observe his modest demeanor as
he pursues his vocation at his custom
tailor shop on River street. But
he has a bungalow, all right, and,
what is more, when he is entertain
ing his friends therein he is known
as tho "King of tho Paupack."
Tho other dignitary is Lewis Gels
ler, who has a motor boat on the
famous old river and ho is known as
"Captain." AVhen the "King," the
"Captain," and the "Colonel" from
Scranton cluster in that section of
old Wayne it makes some of the rest
of wo common people rather hanker
after dignity and a title.
t t
Mr. Bebbler is Going
Back to "Bucktown."
After spending some little time jn
Wayne county as an engineer for
tho Paupack Company, whose oper
ations in preparing for the big lake
have become locally famous, Mr. Beb
bler will next Sunday return to his
home in Dunmore whore he will re
sumo his previous occupation as an
engineer on the Erie railroad. Mr.
Bebbler has made many friends in
Hawley who all regret that he has
not decided to become a permanent
resident of "dear old Wayne.
Miss Anna White to
Spend Summer Abroad.
Miss Anna u. White, daughter or
Mr. Fred. C. White, of the Hawley
Glass company, left Hawley on Wed
nesday for a tour abroad. She will
be gone all of the Summer, and,
leaving as she does in tho midst of
a cold and inhospitable May she will
more assuredly welcome the sunny
skies of old England, bonnlo Franco
and glorious Spain as in turn she
visits those countries. Miss White
has been abroad on previous seasons,
and she may very properly be classed
as an experienced traveller.
