They are all within an inch of two fect in length and weigh more than three and ome half pounds each. A 19% inch cutthroat trout was taken from Auk Lake the latter part of last week by Gunnar Ing- man. This is the best catch at the lake this season, as far as is known. > FRED DAHLQUIST LEAVES Fred Dahlquist, U. 8. Cadastral Bngineer with the U. S.
