CAPTAIN SAMUEL j. RUDDEII.
One of the best-known officials of the
Custom-House of this port is Samuel j.
Rudde II, who is in charge of the Chinese
Bureau. Mr. Ruddell passed the civil
service examination here in 1885, his per-
centage being 95 Early in 1886 he was ap-
pointed an Inspector. He was faithful in
the discharge of his duties and his abili-
ties were quickly recognized by the Col
lector and Surveyor of the Port, who
recommended him to the Secretary of the
Treasury, by whom ne was appointed
Special Deputy Collector in October, 1886.
With Deputy Surveyor Varney Gaskill, the
effective "Hawkshaw" of the Custom
house, he boards all the. passenger-carry-
ing vessels arriving from foreign ports.
Captain Ruddelrs father was member
of the well-known Ruddell family, bankers
and linen manufactures of the North of Ire
land. His parents brought him to this
State when he was an infant and lie was
educated at the Lincoln School here. After
his fathers death in 1880, he studied for
three years with view to entering the
academy at West Point. His mother be-
coming very i'll he gave up the idea and de-
termined to remain here with her. She
died in 1888.
Ruddel joined the N. G. c. during the
July riots of 1878, becoming private of
Company of the Third Regiment. Four
months afterward he was appointed First
Sergeant Of the company, being then only
Is years of age. He remained with the
company until the regiment was mustered
out of the service, and in February, 1885. he
Joined the newly organized cadet company
and was elected First Lieutenant. In July,
1886, he was elected Captain of the newly
organized Company FL, which position he
still fills.
He was charter member of Institute
No of the Young Mems Institute, and in
1889 was elected a Grand Director, receiving
ftat IF II not ., ,,at, AnIn rot
and nearly the total votes of the delegates
to the council. He is rs years of age, a
bachelor, and as modest, and .unassuming as
he is good looking.

Horace Briggs, the dog specialist and al
legged exchange editor of weekly sporting
journal, goes after 1.-THE SpOrtsman's Pro-
tective Association" in this wise:
Tie organization styled the Sportsman's Pro-
teclive Association of California has issued a
pamphlet. the central idea of which Is to dis
courage the formation aud maintenance of clubs
OF sportsmen which shall lease or acquire by
purchase aud preserve suitable tracts OF ground
water upon which 10 hunt The pamphlel is a
rehash of what has been said from time TO time by
one or two rather thOughtess and nc0nsi derato
spOftsman's journals. There is no argument IN
IL and the sentiment is rot. The Protective
Association has neither sympathy nor sup
port at the hands OF sport Smen generally. It's
animus Is unworthy, its methods are questona-
bic, and IL is altogether good thing TO lei alone
severely.
The association which the writer refers
to is composed of the leading SportSmen of
this city. 1t was organized about eighteen
months ago and has to-day five hundred
members. which in itself speaks well for
this comparatively young society. Branches
are being formed in interior towns and only
those who cater to the monopolist and
land-grabber oppose this rapidly growing,
powerful organization of sportsmen.
Although this is the close season for feath-
cred game, there have been dozens of NAL
lard ducks sold within the past few weeks
in some of the Clay-street markets. The
birds are not protected by the law, conse-
quentiy the game-dealers cannot be held re-
sponSible.

Poor Fishing at Glen ElIen-AngliDg In
the Sierras.
Anglers always look forward to the month
ofJuly as the best Of the year for trout-fsh-
ing; but unfortunately for the fraternity,
the adjacent streams are empty of fish, and
the devotees of 1.-The gentle art must travel
into the Sierras to procure anything like
good sport. Some people who are interested
in private enlerprises-th is, the stocking
of waters with fish, which is the property
of The State-have beer spreading false re-
ports of the good fishing which is to be had
in a few of the Interior streams.
One of the preserved" sports has, through
the medium of a weekly sporting journal,
stated that splendid trout-hshing is now to
be had in Sonoma Creek in the vicinity of
Glen Ellen. The following letter from an
angler who is resident Of Glen Ellen will
be of interest to anglers who contemplate
visit to that stream:
i am sorry to state that the fishing is exceed
iDgly poor This season. have not had days
good sport this year. The fish which lave
been caught were very small and anglers are
leaving every day, disguised with their luck.
We have IA hatchery here, but II seems TO be OF
very little use, at least so far as the Geu Ellen
Creek is concerned.
The Reno (Nev) journal is informed
upon unquestiODable authority that several
of the saw-mills on the Truckee are dump
ing their saw-dust and other debris into the
river in direct violation of the law, both Of
Nevada and California. Some Nevada
State citizens have been to heavy expense
stocking the river with fish, and they feel
by no means disposed to submit quietly to
their destruction by the vandalism of either
Nevada or the neighbOring State, and un-
less the thing is discontinued at once trou-
BILE will commence.
Reports from the McCloud and Shovel
Greek rivers, in Siskiyou County, state that
the streams will be in splendid condition
for trOut-fShing about the latter part of
July. Owing to the excessive fall of snow
on the mountains last winter the rivers are
very full this year, and the best fishing is
looked for in August Reports Of a similar
