THEY WANT FISH.
They Will Blow Up Dam But What

They Will Blow Up Dam But What
They VIII Have Them.
For the past three years the citizens of
FL Dorado county have been asking the
State Board of Fish Commissioners to have
a ladder put in the South Fork of the
American river, so that fish can get over
the Natoma dam. Their appeal has been
always answered by the Commissioners
saying they would attend to itimmediatelv. it
but so far nothing has been done. The
South Fork is the main branch of the
American river and in early days was the
best trout, perch and salmon stream in the
State. The mining throughout FL Dorado
county for some years was so heavy and
the wafer so filled with debris that the fish
were all driven out. Since that section has
abandoned mining and the people conf
menced following agricultural and horti-
cultural pursuits. the river has again be-
come clear, and the citizens are crying for
food fish, which are cut off by the Natoma
Gompany's dam, which extends across the
stream at Salmon Falls. The dam is said
to be constructed in violation of State law.
and cuts of whole section from the bene-
fits of food fish.
The Placerville Observer of Tuesday in
commenting upon this tact says: Com
plants come to us that the dam of the
Natoma Ditch Company obstructs the
passage of fish up the American river.
This is an outrage that should not be
tolerated. There seems TO be law pro-
hibiting such obstruction, and the question
now is, whose duty is it to see that the law
is executed? Pains have been taken, at
great expense, TO stock the streams with
fish, and it is not fair that such Instructions
should be allowed to exist without proper
ladders being provided 20 allow fish to pass
up and down stream at will The Fish
Commissioners, District Attorney, or who
ever have the power, should take action in
this matter at once, and prevent trouble, as
the plan of blowing up the dam with giant
powder has been suggested. Il is hoped,
however, that it will not be necessary to
resort to this desperate remedy"

The bulldog is much more easy to train
and control than is generally supposed. l
am convinced that he possesses quite as
much brain power as any of the larger
dogs. His appearance is very much against
his character for gentleness, and this has
caused people to shun and avoid him. so
that his disposition, however pleasant it
may have been originally, has been made
cross and savage by the treatment which
he has received, though he is even now
much less ferocious than he is believed to
be. No dog is capable of greater affection
than he, or shows more gratitude for any
kindness. Pure high-bred dogs Of any
kind are hard to train, for the reason that
they are too high spirited. The mongrels
of the street can be much more easily
trained, because they can be much more
easily ontrolled.-Cor. CHICAGO Journal.

HILLSIDE swAnIPs.
Oregon Highlands Fraudulently Reported
as of the Swamnv Kind

WASHINGTON, December 27th.-The Secretary
of the Interior to-day rendered decision in
the case of the State of Oregon vs. the United
states, in which is involved about 90 500 acres
OF land in the Lakeview, Or, Land District
comprising what is known as swamp land List
No. 8. 1t appears from the records that these
lands Injured to the State as swamp lands under
the Act of September Is, 1880 as extended by
the Act of March i2 1860. Prior to their certifi-
cation the greater part OF these lands were sold
by the State to various parties in large bodies
upon the reports of special agents of the Depart
ment. Certification was finally made, and sub
sequently it was reported to the Department
that the reports OF Special Agent ADkeny and
State Agent whitaker were false and frsudu-
lent, and that large part of the lands described
IN these reports as swamps were really high and
dry.
An investigation was ordered, and Special
Agent ShackelfOrd was directed to make a per
sonal examination. His report shows that of
90S00 acres comprising list No. 5 over 81 900
acres can i'll nowise be classed as swamp, and
that OF this latter amount over 10000 acres are
situated on hills or steep mountains or sage
brush deserts. This report was duly verified,
and an oral hearing ordered, in which the
State was represented By counsel.
The Secretary reviews in detail the evidence
and the law applicable to the case, and finds
tnat the certifieation by Secretary Teller was
procured by fraud, and that had he TELLER
known the facts in the case, as have since been
developed, the certification would never have
been made. The Secretary orders the certitica-
tion set aside, and directs the Commissioner OF
the General Land Office to prepare another list
which shall contain only lands known to be
swamp.
AS to the other lands an investigation is or
dered, and such lands in the list as are found to
be not swamp are ordered to be restored to the
public domain, subject to any rights which may
have attached to them under the laws.

Rivetinr stnrenine.

A recent invention is a machine for
riveting stovepipe In the old way, each
of the six or nine rivets in piece of pipe
was drawn and driven separately By The
use Of this riveting machine, says the
Chicago journal Of Commerce, all the rivets
are drawn by one drop of the hammer.
and all are set by one drop of the hammer.
One man with this machine can turn out
from 900 to 1000 joints of pipe per day.
The pipe is formed on a cylinder connected
with the riyeting machine, and this makes
it uniform in size and leaves the lap smooth
and free from buckles. There Is. we
believe no machine of this description in
the market, and it is said the invention
will mark new cara in the manufacture
OF stovepipe. 1t is easily operated, there
is no complicated machinery about il. and
1t does the work perfectly.

Objections Urged to the Present Method

WASHINGTON, December 27th. - Chairman
Blanchard, of the House River and Harbol

alton of the river and harbor bill soon after
the reassembling of Congress, but Blanchard
has no hope of getting his bill through The
opposition which was developed during the

pressed the committee as something formidable
and the members do not believe it can be
passed.
Some consideration has been given to the
subject of passing a bill appropriating small
sums to be used at the discretion of the secre
tary of War for the preservation of work already
begun, and Mr.. Blanchard has made somethine
of canvass of the House to ascertain If th(
proposition would be received with favor He
finds, however, that the members interested
wanted a lump sum so large that the bill coulC
not get through if formulated and he has abou
given up hope in this direction.
The senators are rather more favorable to
lump appropriation than en itemized bill. Nont

The Target City in China.

Several noble Kentuckians have rashly
wagered their money on a dispute As to.
which city of the Celestial Empire has
the greatest population, and ask that the
Enquii er shall decide the bet. Of course
the race is simply between Canton and
Peking, but it is far from easy to settle
even that. The censuses put forth by the
Chinese Government are notoriously open
to suspicion, and even these are GROUPED as
to provinces and not as to cities All sta
tistics as to the latter are but little better
than guesses. Lippincott's "Gazeteer"
--latest edition. gives Canton 100000, and
says that Peking's population is estimated
at 100000, but adds, "this is undoubtedly
far in excess of the fact" MARTINS

Russians and Americans at War Over
the Ownership of Goose.

ST. PAUL. December 27th.-A special from
Sioux City says: A serious riot occurred this
morning near Trip. Oak, between Russian
Mennonites and an American. A public sale
was held at the farm of a Russian named Sink,
and an American farmer named Merchant pur-
chased dozen chickens When ready to start
home he found two chickens missing, and com
plaiued to Sink, who told him to take something
of equal value. He caught a goose and started
home, but was overtaken by a party of eight
Russians, who claimed the goose as their
property. A wraDgle ensued that attracted
others to the scene, and soon a general fight
was in progress in which some twenty
men were engaged. with the Russians as the sg-
gressors. Two brothers named Johnson, who
were passing, joined in the melee with knives.
A russian named Mayer was stabbed, and he
in turn split Charles JohnsOn's head open with
yoke, infiicting a fatal injury. The same
weapon broke the arm OF George Johnson, and
knives were used to slash up three other aus
slams badly, but not fatally.
The Americans found the force opposing them
too strong. and withdrew from the field. The
wounded Russians were taken care of by their
companions, and nothing can be learned from
them owing to their clannish customs. The
affair has created intense excitement in the
neighborhood, where the majority of the set
tiers are Russians.

AN OLD MATTER.
Attempt to Have .pain Refund an lille.
gally Imposed Fine.

WASHINGTON. December 9th. : Secretary
Bayard' attention was called tonight by YOUR
correspondent to dispatch from Philadelphia
giving an account of outrsges perpetrated by
Spanish officials at Porto Rico on the American
brigatine Joseia, and of the Captain being COM
PEELED to pay an Illegal fine OF 81, 600 which was
not refunded when the error was shown. After
reading the dispatch the Secretary said sOh.
that is a comparatively old case, and one on
which the State Department and Spanish a,,.
thoriiies have been corresponding for over a
month. The Department investigated the case
and II is satisfied the owners and officers OF the
Josefa were wronged ard that the fine should
never have been imposed or collected The
Spanish authorities have been requested to re-
fund the fine, and no answer has vet been re-
eefved. The trouble down there is that the
law provides that one-half of fine shall 20 10
the officials collecting it. OF course that leads
TO fines being imposed that are not warranted
and then trouble occuTs when the officials are
asked to refund it,
The Secretary denied emphatically that he
had requested or intended to request that the
Galena and Yantie be sent to Porto Rico He
could see no use for such action until the Span.
ish authorities declined to refund the fine.
