latter days of the Stanford legislators are
at hand. Boxes are being nailed up, sacks
have been secured and there is nothing left
to do but pass the General Appropriation
and County Government bills and adjourn
a d1ournment canhot come any TOO soon for
the men who have the key to the waste-bas-

of a bill which is to come up tomorrow,
ag ainst which the Gamers are lobbying.

salmon fishery in the State. They have
already made the best of California fishes

for when the Gamers are done. a member
of the California delegation states that the
sixteen faithful members of that patriotic
body are pledged to defeat the bill.
