The monster, which was almost 10 feet in length, was found floating upside down. Examination revealed that a stick had become lodged in its intestines. The sturgeon excited the interest of a large crowd of holi dayers staying at lake hotels and cameras of every description were used to photograph the monster. Observers stated that sturgeon use the upper reaches of the lake as a breeding ground, and that Indians frequently capture them. Sturgeon meat is considered a rare delicacy, and it was reported that Frank Barnes, manager of the lake transportation company, would either hold it in cold storage or sell it to a Vancouver cafe.

Dominoes Put Chill on Hoop Game With Valleys No word has been received from Victoria Dominoes in response to an offer made by the management of the Valleys, Chilliwack's pro vincial Senior basketball title holders, for an exhibition game here. The offer provided that the game be played in Chilliwack last Saturday night, but Dominoes had previously scheduled a game with University of Washington Grads. As Dominoes start a playoff series for the Dominion hoop crown with Winnipeg St. Andrews tonight, it appears that the proposed exhibition game is definitely "out" without even so much as word to that effect from the provincial Senior A champs. Residents Along Luck a Kuck Creating Bird THE great diversity of environment in the eighty acre area which is being set aside as a bird sanctuary by residents along the banks of Luck a kuck at Sardis makes the vicinity an attractive spot for a great variety of man's feathered friends.

The stream, marshland, ponds, old alders, older evergreens, maples, orchards, ornamental evergreens, shrubbery, gardens and fields all have particular attractions for certain species. The stream itself, never frozen in winter or stagnant in summer, is possibly the greatest single attraction the birds have. All birds must have drinking water available and many enjoy bathing in the shallow edges of the stream. The open water attracts the ducks in easier handling a wonderful "roader" and money saving from the word That's the Pontiac story and it means a whale of a lot to you, if you're out for all that's new and. better at a price you want to pay.

LYTTON Clothiers Defeat United, Add Cup Tie Mug to Loop Title Pickard and Stade added the Fox and Spencer cup to their collection of silverware Good Friday by vir tue of a 1 0 victory over Charlie Fowler's United eleven in a soccer cup tie final. The win showed the superiority of the clothiers over other teams in the league as they had won the league championship earlier in the season. The clothiers were full value for their win, adapting themselves to the speedy conditions of the ground and darting passes in and out of the United defense. The game was featured by the remarkable work of goalies Tour nier and McFaul, who both went through a series of hi jinks and acrobatics to pull off some sensa tional saves.

The goal came after a scramble in the red shirts' goal, the ball rebounding to Cece Blakeburn, who calmly lifted it over the mass of arms and legs near the United goalmouth and planted the ball far out of McFaul's reach. The game, however, was marred by a severe leg injury to Bud Thompson when he collided with "Ossie" Osborne and had to be assisted from the field. He returned but was forced to become a passenger on the right wing, and then Johnny Lewis lost his effectiveness by dropping back to cen ter half, where he appeared lost. The accident removed any hopes that United might tie up the game as Thompson had carried the mail throughout the game up to the time of his injury. Phil Swift had the finest chance of scoring during the game but drove a penalty shot wide of the goal.

The players of both elevens played heads up football but Thompson was head and shoulders above his squad, while Pickard and Stade looked a well drilled machine that was worthy of the honors they captured during the season. Paradise zen and when feed is scarce buffle heads, mallards, teal, wood ducks and other species are constant visitors in the winter and early spring. Last spring the wood ducks were particularly interesting. Three pair of these most beautiful of all wild ducks nested near the sanctuary. After being regular morning and evening visitors along the stream for some time, they became only occasional callers during their nesting season.

Then one day at noon, mother wood duck brought her flock from somewhere through the garden and down to the stream. Eighteen downy little fellows seemed almost too large a family for a medium sized duck, but she was a very capable mother and displayed great skill in luring the dog away from her flock. Later she called them together at the river but after two days they disappeared as mysteriously as they had come. It is hoped at least some of the brood will return again another season. Although wood ducks are protected by law at all times no doubt a little added protection will increase the numbers of these beautiful birds.

Mallards and teal occasionally nest along the stream and it is hoped that by giving continued protection in the sanctuary an increasing number of ducks will be attracted. Canada geese are occasional visitors to the stream as they rest on their migration. The marsh areas and ponds attract snipe, bittern, great blue heron and king fisher. Killdeer plover make known their where abouts as they spring into the air and if their nest is near they induce you to follow them by feigning a broken wing. Their nests are mere depressions in the ground and they rely on the camouflage coloring of their eggs to avert detection, In the dead stumps or trunks of the old alders the wood peckers, the flicker, the lewis and the downy wood peckers all find room for their homes.

The tree swallows and wrens are neighbors. Swifts and night hawks are always out to show their power of speed and control on evening flights. Blackbirds are among the early arrivals In the spring. Their chorus of song as they arrive in great flocks drowns out all else for a time. When nesting season comes they become the protectors of the sanctuary and drive out all crows and hawks which come near.

For the most part they nest in the dense young evergreens and rushes or dense leafy shrubs along the INSTANT EASE Vrom PICKING UP STICKS Leslie barber Bumped into Frank Foss, the late Czar of local baseball, in Seattle over the weekend Frank, it seems, dropped 20 feet down an elevator shaft in the Puget Sound town six weeks ago, broke his back, and is just out of hospital he won't be able to work for a year the man who helped put Athletic park over during the first two years of its existence has sold his business interests in Nanaimo and has his eyes trained on a ball park proposition at Mount Vernon, Wash. a little thing he has been dabbling with for two or three years which reminds us that Jack Smith, the husky manager of C.

In other words, if you're looking for some place to invest spare capital at a nice rate of interest, don't put it in a basketball team, even if that team does happen to be one of British Columbia's top five squads. stream.

This year two pair of beautiful red winged black birds nested and raised their families in the area. When the young can fly the black birds take them to the fields and feed them as they sit on the fences. Here the adult birds do great work in driving off crows as it is about the time the young pheasant broods are hatching. Into the gardens the humming birds come by the dozens to visit the honeysuckle, the pink chestnut or other bright flowers and almost every year a nest or two is located on the lower limb of some tree. Their eggs are as diminutive as they, and their nest is an example of fine craftsmanship.

The yellow warblers seem to find their favorite Insects on the spruce and make the old oaks their playground.

Fishing along the river was poor, most nimrods found, but Roy found a small amount of roe an attractive bait. Steelhead are being caught in the Vedder and fishing is fair at the mouths of creeks emptying into the Fraser.
