W. L. Puyster, of Los Angeles, re
puted to be the world’s champion
fisherman, who goes South tomor
row on the S. S. Aleutian, en route
home, stopped off at Montana creek
for 28 days and,for 28 days, fished
without let-up with exception of bed
time. It is reported the ardent fol
lower of Isaac, remained on the
stream every night until mid-night,
at which hour he had to be dragged
away from the bubbling water.
In his own words he states there
is no place in the world that can
ecpial the fishing in Alaska and ha
is coming back again next June for
a stay»xpf two or three months.
Mr. Puyster became so excited, it
is reported, when he was told of the
Ptarmigan creek and Russian river, j
inear Seward, that he could hardly j
j contain himslf. He hoped this morn
ling that the Aleutian would be a
couple of days late in order that he
might get a shance to unreel his tas
•kle in these streams. \

Boys like the polished banisters to
slide down.
j Many people appoint the museum ;
as their meeting place. I
