DAaGErr's BOOMERANG When Congress
man Daggett 6rst went to Washington two
years ago he was charged sixteen dollars and
half for extra baggage at Omaha, This rilen
| the Congressman So that he vowed to make
life burden for every official On the U. +.
and C. P. Railroads. When he got to Wash
ington he began to ship tons and tons of Con
gressonal Globes over the lines which the U.
p. and G. P. Railroads are obliged to carry
free of charge, according to stipulation with
Uncle Sam made when he granted them 30
much of his bread public domain. He shipped
boxes Of these documents over the road ad-
dressed to himself and accompanied by his
big frank and the words, .,"Congressional
documents, free" During the first session he
sent seventeen tons of this class of matter
over the road and soon as he reached home
he sent it back again. Daggett's big boxes Of
''Pab, DAcs" soon became notorious on the
road and the face and figure of the Congress
man was also pretty well known. Wherever
he stepped he was sure to ask some of the
freight agents if they had seen any of my
free freight lately" He always made himself
known and was sure to add, You must han
dis those boxes gently, they contain the
speeches of some of the greatest men of the
nation. Ii You damage any of them I'll sus
the road for the fsil value" On election day
the boys got their revenge and every mothers
son of them voted and worked against Dag
Tbns, h., ho TTt,E D,S;s
located their voting places in Nevada in time
to get their work in on election day and they
raked DAggett fore and aft from sunrise until
shutdown. When it was known that he was
man on the line got drunk and for a couple of
days the road was utterly demoralized.
PRsrEcTloN TO FIsH-The APPEAL from
time to time has called upon the authorities to
enforce the fish law. Thousands Of fish per-
lsh annually in the Truckee because men build
dams unprovided with the fish ladders pre-
scribed by law. The officers Of the various
through which the river flows pay no
attention whatever to the law. A correspon-
dent of the Reno Go.ette writes as follows:
Editor Gasette: Would it not be advisable
for our Leglsia, urs this winter to amend the
Nevada game laws so to give residents of
Nevada the same benefit from Nevada tish rs
residents of California esjoyl Under the pres
cut law the catching of fish for market is pro- |
hibited after April 90 As the Truckee river
trout do not get west of Wadsworth until tbs |
middle or latter part of March, it eAly allows |
residents of the western part of the State
few days fishing, while in California the sea- |
son commences April the first, extending to
Nov. LIST. Under our present law We protect !
the fish while passing up tie river through our |
State to their spawning grounds in California,
nd amuse ourselves watching residents Of the |
after State take them in without even o thank |
you for our generosity in giving them a safe |
,scort to the California line. Perhaps it may
D. fair exchange-their sawdust for our fish |
but it looks as if the balance of trade is
gains. US. The season should at least be ex-
ended to the middle of May or June LIST, as
here are few if any spawning grounds in Ne
5ada. Our present law is decided failure,
iepriving US of nearly all fishing, and afford
NJ the fish very little protection
