a tribute to R. A. Knight of Fair—

“Connecticut is practically out of

HICKORY BLUFF
GOOD CATCHES
OF BLACKS ARE
. THE RULE NOW
Many fishing parties froth lllck-

success over the week-ends. and tho
blacklish are reported so voracious
that good catches are the rule 'rath-
or than the exception. Ono'angler.
who brought back a mess of more
than 00 pounds after a trip off the
Spindle. said that be was the first
time that he had seen b‘iackfisl; db
inquisitive as to follow a hooked
member up through the water.
George Schlichtlng, Jr.. proprietor
of the beach. who has never been
known to tell "fishy" fish stories,
says that a couple of greenhorns
went out recently. 'I‘hcy imagined
that their catch was not too good, as"
they brought back but 8 blacktish.
Some of them, however. weighed
more than three pounds each.
The blacks seem to bite‘equaliy
well on fiddlers or on clams. but
take the hook most readily during
the last couple of hours out and the
first couple in of the tide. Many of
the fish are still spawning and it
seems as though they are eating the
buruaclcs off the rocks.
t i O
From Illckory liluft' comes a real
fish story, which, froi luck of facts.
cannot be contradicts , 'I‘hc disciple
of Isaak Walton avers that he watch-
(d the minnows spawning by moon.
Ilirht during the high tides that fol-
lowed tho perigee a couple of weeks
ago.
“As soon as it was dark the min-
nows. about six inches long, came
right up to the edge of the water.
One could see the female fish swim-
ming along with the male right he.-
side her. The female would drop the
spawn in tin: shallow water. Anyone
who was quiet could watch them."

Finds Remains of Part
Of Stefansson’s No.
I’oie Party of 1914-—
Starved
NEW YORK. June 24. MT).—
.\notl1er mystery of the polar region
was solved yesterday. when II. A.
Snow. big game. hunter anti explor-
cr, just returned from a two-years
photographic exploration of the
Arctic regions, announced the dis-
covery of the remains of missing
meml'u-rs of \‘ilhjaliner Slcfnnsson's
North Pole expedition of 1914. on
Herald Island. .
Snow's discovery clears up the
eloven-yenr-old mystery of the fate
of the me members of the crew.
one of the two parties into which
the expedition was divided. who
quit, the. ice-locked and sinking
"Knrlukfif and started out on the
long trek back to civilization.
The first party. led by Stefano-
son, completed the long journey hf-
ter terrific hardships. The other
party, led by the. ship's doctor. was
never heard from and relief expe-
ditions found no trace of it.
Snow declared he came upon the
remains while taking pictures on
Herald Island. which is about sixty-
flvc miles from the spot were the
"Kin-ink" was lost. A half-com-
pleted camp attested their ineffect-
ual attempts to build a shelter. He
believes the entire party perished of
exposure and starvation a short time
after they reached the Island.
Identification of the party was
made positive. Snow said by rela-
tives of the men. to whom he
brought personal effects found on
the Island near the bodies.

the low which provides that no loan
may be made on adjusted service
cetrlficatos until after two years

munlties generally throughout. the
country should assist in protecting
the interests of the veterans.

ing of loans with incorporated banks
