Local fishermen spotted a group of about 25 hikers from the Seattle Mountaineers on the LOCATED SECOND & RAILROAD PAIR e North Fork of the Skokomish. The mountaineers had hiked overland and were eating lunch in the cold drizzle. During the last snowfall, Jackie Gearhart was returning home from grocery shopping in Shelton when her truck got stuck on the Dalby Road hill.. Jackie left the truck and walked home. When her husband Bob retrieved the truck later in the evening, the groceries were gone. In the short time the truck had been on the roadside someone had lifted two week's supply of food. On a recent Sunday morning Dex McCulloch took Seattle friends Bill and Sue Clevenger on a short drift for steelhead before the fiver got too muddy. All went e icans The Republican State Central Committee of Washington met last Saturday morning at the Greenwood Inn to elect officers for a two-year term.

Would you believe there's still another chapter to add to the trouble-plagued Jerry Meachams' story? There's a bit of good news, too, though. First the good news, they moved into their newly refurbished home which fire destroyed late last year, a week ago last Sunday. Now the bad news. They didn't have time to me well until they were loading the boat in the truck to go home. Dex happened to look up and saw a huge alder rolling down river with one end headed for the truck. Dex was able to back the truck out of the way but the river dropped the tree across the road. The truck was trapped with an immovable log in front and a rapidly rising river lapping at the rear wheels. A power saw was located and the saw teeth were barely chewing bark when the high water eased the log out from under the saw and back into the river. Undaunted by their near-loss of truck and boat, Dex and the Clevengers headed for the powerhouse hole where Dex hooked a lO-pound steelhead on his second cast. Fritz Dalby came out to the Canal last week to do some fishing from his sloop. He was rewarded with a suntan and two salmon. get all their possessions moved in one day and before they could get back someone took a 20-horse Johnson outboard motor, their boat trailer lights, one large bike, one small bike and one large trike and one small trike.
