FISH VS.. DUCK.
Carp and Catfish Said to be Destroying
the Canvasback's Food,

Carp and Catfish Said to be Destroying
the Canvasback's Food.
Up to ten years ago there was good can
vasback shooting on any of the deep lakes
and ponds near this city, but since then
this variety of wildfowl has been growing
scarce. AS all experienced sportsmen are
aware, the canvasbacks are deep-water
feeders, and the reason their flesh has such
better flavor than that of other ducks is
that their food is of a richer and more nu-
tritious quality. The canvasback's favor
lite food is roots and bulbs that grow at the
bottom of the lakes, and especially the wild
celery.
a SUNDAY UNION reporter had an inter-
esting conversation the other day with
William Kimber, one of the most expert
enced and successful wildfowl hunters in
this vicinity, and being asked his opinion
as to the cause of the scarcity OF canvas
backs, he replied that ne was convinced the
carp and catfish knew more about it than
they were likely to tell.
What can fishes have to do with
ducks ?" asked the reporter.
well" replied Mr.. Kimber, they have
this much TO do with 1.-THE carp are mud
feeders, as you know, and l have caught
bushels of them filled with the soft and
juicy bulb that the canvasbacks feed upon.
| am satisfied that the wonderful increase
of carp and catfish in all our sloughs and
lakes has largely cut off the canvasbacks'
favorite food supply, and they have simply
gone elsewhere in search of something bet
ter suited to their epicurean tastes than the
young grass that other ducks feed on
Mr.. Kimber may be right in his coDject-
ure, and it is to be hoped that in the course
of time the carp may develop delicacy of
favor-owing to the quality of their food
that they do not now possess.

two boats carried that night. And, as if
that was not enough, stoppages were made
every few miles down the river to take on
passengers. At one point number of
horses were taken on board, and one house
was passed, where man, his sister-in-law
and her five children were on the roof. The
man held pistol. and declared he
WOULD HAVE SHOT THE PILOT
If they had not stopped. The view from
the boat was dreary enough-nothing but
vast expanse of water as far as the eye
could reach. Toward night the storm be-
gan again, and it did not contribute to the
comfort of the passengers, most of whom
were already worn out, when some one
came in the cabin with the remark that it
would be fearful night for an accident.
Upon entering the bay it was so rough
one could with difficulty walk across the
cabin floor. The Captain of the Sierra Ne
vada said he had crossed the bay great
many times, but never saw it SO rough be-
fore. We arrived at our haven of refuge
without accident.
In the morning, while standing on the
deck of the boat, | had my first near view
of an ocean steamer and l then realized
the powers of the storm king-when such
a combination of wood and iron could be
tossed about like toy in the hands of the
winds and waves. There were
MANY AMUSING SCENES
During the flood. especially one, in which
@. Lagos and G. were the actors. They
started out for a boat-ride, and as Chris.
Lagos claimed to be good sailor, they rig
ged out their boat with mutton-leg sail
All went very well until they attempted to
cross the open space before mentioned,
when, the boat getting beyond their con-
troll, capsized, landing them in water almost
up to their necks, Lagos being drawn by
the force of the current nearly under the
old 0ctagon Church, near which they hap
pened to be. The old church proved
haven of refuge to good many persons
during the food. So our would be sailors
were picked up, their boat righted, and
then sent on their way rejoicing.
When thinking over the sights and
sad and others comical, the
almost miraculous escapes of some, the
heroism and selfshness of others-it seems
like troubled dream. But it was real
enough twenty eight years ago.

APPoRTIoNED AS FOLLOWS:
Alleged Crookedness at Folsom.

A report comes from Folsom to the effect
that somebody there is likely to get into
trouble. The story is that some days ago q
mall borrowed horse and cart to so a
short distance, bit went on 10 Mud Springs
Ell Dorado county. Somebody advised the
owner to swear out a warrant for tue mans
arrest for grand larceny, and in the abb
sence of Constable Macomber man known
as Humboldt" Hawk was deputized by
the Justice of the Peace to make the
arrest.
According to report Hawk went TO Mud
Springs, arrested the man and took him 10
Folsom, where the prisoner was locked up
over night. The next day he>was iber-
ated. He went away, but has since re-
turned, and is said to have told several
persons that he paid $50 for his release.
The matter will probably be brought to
the District Attorneys notice and an in
yestigation follow.

EXPANDING THE Chest.


bly as he could. This was to be done each
morning number of times upon arising
from bed. l took particular interest in this
suggestion, as | was very fat-chested ana
stoop- shouidered boy at the time, and was
verv much ashamed of ii. | will say,
though, that l was most persevering and
patient youngster and that is something you
don't often see in q child, when it comes
down TO exertion. Unknown to my par
ents or my playmates, went through my
calesthenics each morning for half an hour
or more 1t was not long before my perse-
verence was rewarded by perceptibie
bullying out of my chest and straighten-
ing up of my frame. Ny parents noticed
it, and were elated. The boys at school
noticed il, and called me chicken breast.
But kept at it even more vigorously, and
continue to go through the same move
ments to this day.
You probably know, or have read, that
ordinarily a person only uses half-the
upper half-of his or her lungs in breath
ing. The other half simply goes to waste
and disease if not developed. Hence the
theory for taking full mutations and work
ing the arms vigorously upon arising each
morning, at which time they receive the
most benefit. In this manner the lowest
depths of the lungs are kept healthy, are
not liable TO disease, and add wonderfully
to ones vitality.
CURING CONSUMPTION.
"But l think l can interest you con-
siderabIy more by telling you what have
done in the way Of developing others than
by reciting my own experience. Since

molding and developing of human frames
