OUT AT TROUT LAKE
Goldendale Agriculturist

     There are few people at Trout Lake at present, but with the first hot August days a big hiatus is expected, as that place is too well known and popular for people to forget it. It is a place to which people turn for rest and quietude; it is not crowded, cool, and just the place for Nature lovers. Fishing has not been so good in years. Anyone can catch the gamey trout, and the true angler is happy for the fish "rise" to the fly - and a basketful results. Any morning you may see boys and girls in carts and buggies hieing to the cheese factory. No one now makes butter, but everyone sells cream. It is less trouble and it pays better. Mr. Arnie, the old cheese maker, delivers milk to the campers at five cents a quart, and cream at 25 cents. He makes no cheese this year. The factory turns out excellent cream cheese. The plant is located near Stadleman's on Trout creek. By the way, the shadow grows larger on Mount Adams. We are anxious for a field glass that we may study it and try to find out what is happening up there, for when we climbed up over the rugged and ribbed old mountain we remember coasting down across that spot, and of course we take an interest in our old friend Mount Adams' doings.
