Seattle, June 3 ? f Kxcluslve Dis
patch ) O. L. Dickeson. president
of the White Pass and Yukon Rail
road, is advertising for a competent
angler to work on salary. The food
supply has become a problem, so
he proposes to employ a man to
levy tribute on the near-by streams.
He estimates that a good angler can
catch enough mountain trout, brook
trout, rainbow trout, cut-throats,
steelheads and graylings in one day
to supply a fish course for 200 per
sons.
The fact that Mr. Ross, the dean
of the Isaac Walton school, has
lately made several successful fish
ing trips to Fish l.ake will be used
as an argument by his friends with
Mr. Dickeson.
It is thought that Mr Dickeson's
trip to Whltehorse is in response to
the telegram, and the result of Mr.
Dickeson's call upon Mr Ross is
awaited with great Interest
