Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 1935 Where Dreams Come True NOT much has been said about the fishing near Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, probably because when visitors had finished "writing home" about the scenery, facilities for golf, tennis, and swimming, mountains to be climbed on foot or horse, the health-giving qualities Of the air, and the fun to be found there the year round, there were no suitable descriptive Words left for the fish. But many types of fighting fish abound in the nearby lakes (Old streams. Minnewanka, the take of Indian legends, frozen Over for a week after the opening of the fishing season, made a glorious start on the new seai by producing more than pounds of trout in two days. Bill Hall, of Banff, led the parade with two trout, the larger one a fisherman's dream tipping the scales at 40% pounds, and the other registering a more usual 20*4 pounds. He was out for only an hour and a quarter In the early afternoon from the time of the first cast until the second fish was landed, despite the fact that the pair put up 30 and 40-minute fights. Visitors have also made good catches this year. * On the same day sportsmen got eight fish averaging about 18 pounds each, and in two days another party of visitors caught 360 pounds- of lake trout, running from five to 25 pounds, with the average about 18 pounds. While catches like these are not at all uncommon in the West, it has been discovered fairly recently that trolling is not at all necessary to get the big ones. Visitors at the Canadian Pacific Railway hotels at Banff Springs and at Lake Louise, as well as at many bungalow camps throughout' the Rockies, learn . after their arrival that there* fine fishing ground} in jtbe near vicinity. YES, It's True That the Colborne Express is owned by an individual. It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported iri their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that alHhese various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff.
