THE Hotel and Saloon Keepers Jour
nal, speaking of the nomination O,
Charles 8. Wolfe by the ProhibItionist.
OF Pennsylvania, says:
We should do everything in GU,
power to aid the Prohibitionists In con
Quoting Wolfe's campaign. The reason
Tor such action is that Wolfe's candi
dacy will create wide breach In thu
Republican party and cause 1t to take
steps TO crueh out all similar movements
originated by the Probibitionists in the
future. 1t is sure to prove
disastrous to the Republicans, and the
psrty's Representatives at Harrisburg
VIII not in the future be likely to feel
Kindly towards the people who caused
tneii defeat. Of course this condition
OF auairs Is to our advantage and should
oe accepted as a pointer to our future
guidance. We can aid the movement
N various ways.
AS the Prohibitionists have persis-
tently denied that they are assistant
Dem ocrats, they certainly cannot denv
that the saloon keepers are advised nv
their main organ to become assistant
Prohibitionists.

ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL of the util.
ity and endurance OF fl re- brick for stree,
pavements comes from Wheeling, Yves,
Virginia, where such pavements have
been laid since 1883, and where they
have been subjected to the severest test
they can be put to, which Is the heavies,

ments. So well pleased are the people
with the new pavements that additional
ones have been put down every year
since. The cost, no wever, Is about Forty
cents higher than is said to be the cost
In Steubenville, Ohio, but that depends
much upon the condition of the streets
where IL Ia laid. Those who live where
IL mas been tried say that the friedrich
pavement Is almost noiseless, wears
well, Is clean and, above all, economi.

Reading, Pa, to give it trial In front

way, does the Wilmington City Couacil

1t is amusing to note how the fishermen
blame the sea lions at the Golden Gate for
the destruction of fish. One of the largest
Gamers on the Sacramento, George w.
Hume, in explaining why the salmon are
scarce this year, says: We would be
very much obliged if the sea lions around
the Golden Gate were killed. They GER
tainly destroy an immense amount of fish
every season. Mr. Hume also said that
the number of fish in the river was con-
stantly diminishing and that, whereas, last
year 1000 men and ZOO boats were en-
gagged in the fishery, this year they are
idle.
1t does not seem to enter the head of the
Gamer that the 1900 fishermen can have
had any influence in the decrease of the
supply of fish. He blames the compare
lively harmless sea lion for everything.
The real reason why the fish are diminish
ing is that there are too many fishermen
and that the fishing is improperly and de-
structively done. The Sacramento is not
large enough to supply work for 1000 men,
especially when these men do not confine
themselves to legal methods. 1t is well
known that many fishermen violate the
law constantly. 1t is quite a common
thing for them to have sentries out to give
warning of the approach of " suspicious y
characters, in order that the Fishery Com
mission cannot effect surprise. An army
of fishermen operating with small-meshed
nets is what is diminishing the salmon
supply. The sea lions had been here per-
haps thousands of years before the fisher
men came, and when the fishermen came
our rivers swarmed with fish.-[S. +. Re

SCARCITY OF SALMON.
The Poorest Run Ever Known on tn
Sacramento.

Sacramento.
There is great scarcity of salmon on
the Sacramento riyer-and the same may be
said of the Columbia also-this spring. OF
course, while the river is so high, it could
not be expected that many would be caught
in this neighborhood, but the reports from
CORTLAND and below are very discouraging.
1t Is noticeable, however, that the fish
taken are larger than the catch generally
averages Prices rule high Sacramento
dealers having to pay seven cents per
pound for fish ION the hoof," as it were, or
about nine cents for the fish dressed, while
at this time last year large salmon could be
bought for 40 cents each. So few have
been caught i'll the lower river and bays
that the cannerieS are nearly Idle. George
w. Hume says the run of fish is the
smallest this year he ever knew. He thinks
the salmon have been steadily decreasing
in the river since 1881. In response 10 an
inquiry as to the cause. he remarked: Il
DOM know, but we would be very much
obliged if the sea lions around the Golden
Gate were killed. / do not know that they
are actually the cause of the destruction Of
the salmon fishery in the Sacramento, but
they certainly destroy an immense amount
of fish every season. There were 900
boats and 1000 men engaged in the fishing
on the Sacramento last year. This year,
although nearly month later in the sea-
son, these men and boats are mainly idle"
Another gentleman, being interviewed
by San Francisco reporter. had this to say
on the subject: :" | do not believe the run
this year will be good, as all indications
point the other way. 1t seems strange that
the Sacramento salmon should diminish
Il. 1, L., f.- al
The industry is one that ought to be
developed, and the Fish Commissioners
should investigate the causes leading to
such diminution and take steps to prevent
it. In my opinion the chief cause of the
decrease in the salmon run is due to the
bad condition of the hatcEing-bedS The
deposition of sediment in the hatcherieS
has caused a large destruction of fish.
There are several minor causes which con-
tribute to the destruction of the salmon. Ii
is a we'll known fact that unprincipled men,
contrary to the fishery laws, catch large
numbers of the fish out of season. The
Chinese are great offenders in this regard
and they are so crafty that it is difficult to
detect them. The means at the command
of the Fishery Commission are inadequate
to detect such violations of the law. A
third great cause of TIE destruction of sal
mon is the presence of the seals at the
entrance to the bay. There may be other
causes at work. causing the poor run of the
present season. The laws governing the
movements of migratory fish are peculiar.
and require years OF study to understand.
Some years the shoals may be large and the
next year poor run may follow, due to
some mysterious causes of weather, cur
rents, food and the like. But be this as it
may, something should be done to prevent
the salmon in the Sacramento from de-
creasing as far as other causes are con-
cerned.'

The Southern Pacific.

General Manager A. n. Towne, of the
Southern Pacific Company, gave the follow
ing details TO CaH reporter of what his
road is doing in opening up new lines of
travel. With reference to the California
Pacific he said +" Our people have now I'M
der consideration the various routes lead
ing up to the Lake Mendocino ana Hum
boldt country, and are discussing which
will be the most prat ticable route, whether
from Winters, from some point On the Cal
ifornia Pacific, or from some station on the
Northern Railway. This subject is under
consideration, and will be more closely
looked into just as soon as the chief engi-
neer can spare forces from the surveys now
going on from Los Angeles north to Santa
Barbara, and from Soledad to San Miguel,
where large forces of laborers are following
on close to the surveying parties.
q" We are hardly disposed to lay any more
rails above Raymond, on the way to the
Yosemite, at present, on account of the ne
cessity of using all available forces on the
Southern and Oregon extensions, which are
being pushed as rapidly as the heavy work
will permit, but surveys are being made on
the Yosemite branch, from Raymond to
Big Tree stations"
