Fishing Is Good In North End.

Fishing up in the north end of the county is good right now. The Kankakee river and other streams up there have been frozen over so long that the fish are famishing for air and all one need do to get all the fish he wants is to cut a hole in the ice. The fish flock to the air hole in schools and they can be dished up in wagon loads. They are mostly carp, however, and they are peddled around for five cents per .pound, thus greatly lessening the high cost of living in that region.
