COD FISHING FOR SPORT.
A Ten OF Fifteen-Poundcr Makes q Good
Fight Before Ho Is Landed.

Fight Before Ho Is Landed.
OF course, the idea strikes one rs
rather tame, but when followed under
the right conditions youwill find excite
ment lurking around on all sides, as we'll
as underneath. Shoal water fish, when
taken with hook and line, act much
livelier than when they are in deep
water, SO that ten or fiftcen-pounder
makes considerable fight before he is
landed, says Forest and Stream.
In the outfit, any kind of boat not
likely to drown you SYill do, linen tautog
lines, with rather small sized bass hooks.
two on each line, with respectively
twenty-four and thirty-inch snoods,
sinlSer weighing three or four ounces.
In bait, fresh menhaden, herring, small
fish, lobster or clans. Start in the
evening, soon after daylight has gone
and as soon as the moon is well up. Go
from one-third to thirds as far from
the shore us you would fish in the day
time. Keep the hooks about three feet
from the bottom In from FIVE to ten
fathoms of water. There is weird ex-
element in this kind OF fishing found in
no other. You hear the distant cry of
the bittcrn and night heron, notice the
phosphorescent trail made by some
stray shark or big fish as he plunges
by, watch the long ground swell, until
it seems as if it were really alive, and,
with the swash of the sea on shore, you
by this time have mighty sharp bite
from cod, and he does not all resemble
log as you pull, but tries his best to
get away until landed.
During the fishing o spine dogfsh or
SO investigates; then comes peculiar
kind of bite, and as you look over, there
is something alongside that reminds you
Of the mouth of an old-fashioned carpet
bag with nails on end stuck around the
edge; this is a goose or bellows fish,
whose use, as yet, has not been found
out. Now you think you have got fast
to the bottom, but soon find it is skate
about four feet across which comes up
slowly in circles, having by prowling
around got hook in one Of his numer-
GUS outer edges. Then, by fishing about
halfway to the bottom, you can catch
quantities OF frost fish or whiting. Cod
fish are more numerous inshore, and bite
better during the night than in the day.
time. If, after you are through fishing,
you still wish for moro excitement, Just
catch seq wrong. or, rather, let it
catch you right, as you land on tho
beach, and you will get enough in the
next few seconds to last well into the
morning.

PRETTY CHEEKS.
They Arc Not Always Easy 20 Get, but
Nature Can BE Helped.

They Are Not Always Easy 20 Get, but
Nature Can BE Helped.
Pretty cheeks are rare finishing
touch, an otherwise handsome face be-
ing often spoiled by high cheek bones
and thin or habby checks, says the
Metropolitan. The high cheek bones
can scarcely be softened unless the
checks are made firm and plump. Con-
trivances worn in the mouth for filing
out the cheeks have been resorted to-,
but scarcely without great discomfort;
and the only reasonable way of accom-
plishing the desired result is to take on
moro flesh and to study carefully the
dressing of the hair.
In some instances, however, there
will be a supcrfluity of flesh where it Is
not wanted, while the checks persist in
remaining thin. A firm, round cheek,
with aslight dinple showing with every
smile, is a most attractive charm, and
the sister of a young gentleman who
had pencil accidently thrust through
one check in boyhood, leaving an in
dentation that was aquite natural look
ing dimplc, was wont to remark that
she really wished 1t had happened to
her, as she would have thrust a pencil
through the other cheek and felt album
dainty repaid by her increase of beauty.
But her enthusiasm did not reach the
point of decorating both cheeks herself.
Bathing the cheeks two or three times
day with weak ammonia water in
which a small piece Of alum has been
dissolved tends to make the flesh firm
and smooth. The common practice of
pressing one check into the pillow while
sleeping is very injurious to beauty Of
outline, and 1t also produces wrinkles.

The Spsakersaio.

Bynum, Of Indiana, came out
with a card Withdrawing from the
speakership contest recently. In his
card he says; II never pressed my
candidacy, and consented to only
use my name until it became evil
dent the contest was narrowed
down between Mills and Crisp.
shall heartily support Mills. While
none of the candidates are strong
tariff reformers, none so promi-
nently represents the position of
the party on this question as Mills.
He is known to the people as a
prominent figure in the house on
this question, and his defeat would
in a great measure be accepted as
sln abandonment of the issue. The
tariff is the issue upon which we
must win in 1892, and there should
be no semblance Of wagering or
hating at this critical period. I'm
less the party stands firmly and
aggressively in favor Of this issue
the farmers Of the northwest, who
gave Us such sweeping victories in
80, will become discouraged and
may abandon the hope Of success
through the organization Of our
party"
Ex-Speaker Carlisle, now a u 5.
senator, is out in a letter Of the
same tenor, endorsing Mills. Mr..
Carlisle says: upon the tariff
question we are practically united,
while upon the silver question, and
perhaps upon some others, there
are wide and honest differences Of
opinion among members Of our own
party which can only be reconciled
by patient deliberations"
Mills, it appears, has the best of
it, but while Bynum and Carlisle
are occupying the attention of the
public lauding him, Crisp, of Geor-
gia, should not be lost sight of, as
in the last congress he was lead
ing figure and displayed great ability
AS a parliamentarian.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1891
Minneapolis gets the Convention.

Westward the course Of Empire
takes its way The action of the
national republican committee last
Monday in naming Minneapolis as
the place for holding their nomi-
mating convention in 1892 is a
striking indication that the polit-
ical as well as the commercial cen-
ter of the United States is rapidly
drifting westward.
Well may political parties con-
slider the power Of the west In
four short years six new states, with
eighteen electoral votes, have been
added to the Union. And when
the new apportionment Of congress
7ional representation is made, it
will be found that the west has
gained more than double that num-
Der in congress. Another thing
The politicians would do well to
considerable fact that the men Of
the vigorous young west are far diff
terent from those Of the efiete east.
The men Of the west are far more
Independent than those Of the east.
Passion and prejudice is not the
criterion Of their ballot. Their in
terests, and justice, is their princi-
pie in voting.
Following is the result of the
balloting,

Notice of Application to cut Timber.

Notice is hereby given that in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
rules and regulations prescribed by
the Hon. Secretary Of the Interior
on May 9Th, 1891, at the expiration
Of twenty-one days from the first
publication Of this notice, the un-
dersigned, E L Whitney, whose
postolfice address is Fry, Kootenai
county, Idaho, will make written
application to the Hon. Secretary
of the Interior for authority to cut
and remove timber for merchandise
and sale from the following unsur-
veyed and unappropriated public
lands Of the United States, situated
in Kootenai county, Idaho, and
described as follows:
Beginning at the point where the
trail crosses Second creek, tribu-
tary Of the Kootenai river, about
three miles above Bonner's Ferry
and on thenorth side Of Kootenai
river, and running thence east one
mile along the foot hills; thence
south one-half mile to the Kootenai
river; thence easterly along the
course Of said river about three
miles to the mouth Of the Moya
creek; thence up and along the
course of said creek for a distance
Of three miles; thence west for a
distance Of four miles or therea-
bouts to Second creek; thence down
said creek to place of beginnin;
containing about seven thousand
five hundred acres Of land, and
there being upon this tract about
ten million feet of pine timber and
about four million feet of fir and
tamarack timber.
The land in this tract is rough,
broken and mountainous. The
soil is sandy, rocky, barren and I'M
fit for cultivation and agricultural
purposes, and is non-mineral in
character. The purpose for which
the timber is to be cut and used is
for the manufacture Of lumber,
shingles and other merehantable
lumber, to be used for mining,
building, and other useful and ben
eficial purposes.

4 Cldlll 10 bIle mineral lanuS Wltnln
the bounds of their grants. Thoi1
claim has already been sustained
by the supreme court of the states
of Montana and North Dakota,
based upon a decision of the SUI
prepae court of the United States.
Should these rulings become the
law of the land some OF the finest
mining properties along the line Of
the n P. Railway would be taken
from the honest prospectors and
miners and become the property of
that corporation 1t would matter
not how many thousand dollars had
been expended to develop the mine,
if the mine was of any valne the
corporation would gobble it up.
We read in a Montana exchange
recently Of q miner who had ex-
pended over $4,000 on a claim
which he had been working for a
number of years, and when he made
application for patent his papers
were returned from Washington, re-
jected on the ground that the land
belonged to the N. P. Railway.
This law is wrong in spirit, and
an attempt to enforce it and take
the mines from the honest pros
pectors would create civil war.
The honest miners will never per-
NIT it. The recent mining congress
at Denver adopted the following
resolutions on the subject:
WHEREAS, The supreme court Of
the United S4ates has declared that
the exception Of mineral lands from
grants in acts Of congress should
be considered to apply to such
lands as were at the time of the
grant known to be so valuable for
their minerals as to justify expend-
iture for their extraction; and
WHEREAS, This dictum of the
supreme court, if it should become
a law, would invest the Pacific rail
way companies holding grants of
land from the government with a
number of. the best mines discov-
cred within the limits of said grants
by prospectors and miners who
have located thereon in good faith
and developed and held therein in
the honest belief that said grants
were limited to- agricultural lands
only, as declared in the acts of con-
gress making them.
Resolved, That this congress pro
tests against any construction Of
the statutes Of the United States
which will result in such system
of wholesale confscation and con
sequent enrichment of the great
combinations already enjoying the
bounty Of the government, and calls
upon the representatives of the peo-
pie In congress assembled to take
such prompt and immediate action
as may be within the constitutional
prerogative to destroy the threat
ened danger.
Resolved, That the alien act, so
far as it operates to exclude foreign
capital from investment in mining
lands in territories is false in prin-
ciple and pernicious in effect and
demands instant repeal.
Major Roman and five Koote-
mai chiefs passed through town en-
