is not the slightest danger that any
damage will be done to river towns this

the north are almost entirely clear of
snow, and without this source of supply
the spring swell will be puny affair.

THE SEAL MONOPOLY.

The proclamation Of the president for
bidding the catching Of seals in
Behriug sea except by persons author
lied by the United States government,
has renewed attention to the monopoly
of the seal fisheries in Alaskan waters
enjoyed by the Alaska Commercial
company. The action OF the president
in giving the protection OF the govern
ment, to this monopoly cannot fairly
subject him to any criticism, since he
has simply done what was required by
an act of congress passed and approved
near the close OF the last admin
istration. Whatever views the
president may entertain in the
matter the law gave him no dis
cretion, but imperatively required
him to warn all persons to keep aloof
from the Behring sea seal fisheries who
have not the authority of the United
States to go there. And the govern
ment is under contract giving to the
Alaska Commercial company the ex-
elusive privilege of catching fur seals
in the waters surrounding Alaska, this
agreement, entered into several years
ago, having another year to run.
The importance of this action is the
international considerations involved.
1t renews the claim of the United States
to exclusive dominion over the waters
of Behrlng sea, which has been held to
be in direct conflict with the preten-
sions of the government in the contro-
versy regarding the fisheries OF Canada,
and which has not been conceded by
other governments. The opinion largely
prevails in this country, also, that the
claim cannot be maintained. More
over, it is matter OF record that the
United States more than seventy years
ago resented like claim on the part of
American seamen to navigate those
seas. In view of these consideration S
| it is very questionable whether the
proclamation of the president will be
respected by the people of other coun-
tries who may desire to hunt fur seals
| in the forbidden waters, and there
have already been intlmations from
the Canadian press that the fishermen
| OF the Dominion will not be deferred by
the proclamation from entering Behr-
| ing sea. In the event of their going
into these waters the United States will
be compelled to seize the offending YES
sells, as was done in several instances
two years ago, and the effect of this
might be to produce serious interna'
tional controversy. The proclamation
operates equally against American sea-
men, and such as have made prepara-
tions to cruise in Behring sea in search
of fur seals will suffer very considera'
BILE pecuniary loss.
Regulations that will give such protec
tion to the seal fisheries as will prevent
their destruction are doubtless to be de
sired, but in order to do this it was moi
necessary for the government to sur
render these fisheries into the hands o.
a monopoly, which, like all monopolies
has abused its privileges. There is q
very good reason to believe that the
contract will not be renewed, but mean
time the reopening of the Alaska sea
fisheries this summer is likely to b,
productive of some interesting Incl
dents in that quarter.

The Board of Supervisors spent the
day yesterday in examining the County
Hospital, going through all the wards in
detail. The Board was very much pleased
with the indications of good management
apparent everywhere.
On the return of the members to the
board room, the following business was
transacted:
The petition of George W. Frink, rela-
tive to the assessment of the Wolfskill
tract, was received and ordered referred
to the County Assessor.
The opinion of the District Attorney in
the matter of the claim of George D.
Whitcomb for rebate of taxes was read
and fled, it being to the effect that the
Board has no jurisdiction in the matter.
1t was agreed to send a telegram to Mr..
Damron at Sacramento asking him to
withdraw the bill repeating Section 167
of the County Government bill, it being
the opinion OF the Board that said bill,
introduced by Mr.. Damron, is unjust to
the taxpayers of this county.
On motion of Mr.. Rowan, Road Over
seer w. g. Bell, Of the Ell Monte district,
was instructed to remove posts and other
obstructiops in the old road between the
Mission and Ell Monte.
The deed of M. w. einnott was pre-
sented to the Board and ordered re.
corded and the land therein described
declared public highway.
The Board then adjourned to meet to-
day at 10 10 A. NJ. at the depot to go to

ranging the roads. The Board will meet

EDITORS HERALD-It can readily be
seen that the lukewarm interest OF the
Legislature in the business of the session
is largely attributable to the fact that the
Southern members feel the little impor-
tance attached to measures that benefit
one-half the State only. A bill for branch
insane asylum in Mendocino county is
one of the samples. Why has no bill for
a brancn OF that institution been passed
for the South end? there being two al
