nnmo wns In dnngor of exter

n toothsomo bite, and tho pres

which resulted Inmensurcs of

delicious member of tho llsh

which saved It from tho In
roads of flshennon. At that
tlmo Volcano creek was far
removed from human hnbltn

inaccessible to nil but
knowing ones.
Despite this fnct tho friends
of thoso versed In tho forest
lore visited Volcnno creek nnd
nlded in doplotlng tho stock
of Rooscvolt Golden Trout,
until tho huo nnd cry wns
raised by Cnllfornlnns.

Trout, for tho llsh possess that wariness
which Is common among tho mombors of
tho finny world In mountain iitreams. Ilowovor,
