"OVERRUN" BY DEER

A Glass of People Who Chafe Under
Wise Restrictive Laws.
The Grass Valley JTdingS says that a
rough-and-ready rancher reports deer
more numerous about his place than ever
known before, their tracks covering the
ground in places as numerously as hog
tracks. The deer, he says, are very de-
structive, having practically robbed him
of his entire clover crop this year, loss
likewise reported by other farmers. The
farmer and his neighbors naturally do
not like the close season law in this con-
nection. The law covers a period of two
years from the date of its passage and was
Il compromise for a siX-year close season
advocated and earnestly claimed by a
large number of legislators and their
constituents.
Stories of this kind are frequently told
by mountain and foothill ranchers, but
they are generally persons who think
deer is good for nothing but to be killed.
This talk about deer being as numerous
about farms as hogs or sheep is pure
twaddle. A year ago it was hard work to
find deer, and even If the two-year close
season law is being Observed-which it is
not-the increase ia the deer tribe would
not have amounted to much in one sea-
son.
The sight of deer track in an alfalfa
field or vineyard is generally enough to
excite the average mountaiueer to such a
pitch that he win declare his place is
overrun with them.

A WOMAN IN BLACK.
She Appears to be Haunted by Hale

She Appears to be Haunted by Haley,
the Slayer of Allen.
On Thursday night a woman, who was
evidently under the influence of some
thing more than mere excitement, went
to the central Office of the Telephone
Company and called up the Police
Station. The call was answered by Night
Clerk Clark, who was somewhat startled
by the story the woman had to tell.
She said she was relative of Haley,
the man who is wanted for the murder of
Robert Allen, but whose whereabouts
have for so many months been mystery
to the police, and knew where he had
been all this time-in short, that she her
self had shielded him from arrest.
She further stated that Haley was at or
near Fresno, but was to have left there
on that day Thursday. She asked Off
Ger Clark if he would guarantee her pro-
lection If she would go to the Police
Station and make her statement more
fully, and ne promised he would.
After waiting for some time, and the
woman not making her appearance, he
asked the central office operator what
sort of joke the latter was trying to play
on him.
The operator replied that there was no
joke about it-that woman in black had
come to the central Office, accompanied
by messenger boy, and told her story
over the wire.
Captain Lee was called and informed of
what had taken place, and after investi-
eating the affair he came to the conclu-
sion that the mysterious woman in black
had been talking through her hat. At
Fisk's messenger-service office she had
declared that Haley was in hiding in that
very place.

EVADING THE Law.
Upper Sacramento Fishermen WI
Need q ittIe & Aftantinn

Upper Sacramento Fishermen Who
Need Little Attention.
The Red Bluff Sentinel gives quite a
long account of catching salmon in the
Sacramento River at Tehama, in which it
says the seine used at one camp is 225 feet
long and 20 feet deep. They catch as
many as $50 fish at one haul, which fish
are sent TO Marysville, Sacramento and
other points, the shipments averaging
about two tons day. Some of those fish
that have been sent TO this market, SAYS
the Marysville Democrat, are too small to
have been caught in regulation net,
with meshes of seven and half inches,
which indicates a violation of the law be-
yond doubt.
Then, the law does not permit seine TO
be cast in such a way as to cover more
lhan one-third otthe stream, and ifthe 225
feet mentioned is drawn regularly, there
= another violation. Will the.Tehama
Iolks look TO these points and see that the
law is strictly enforced, as the fishermen
viii bear watching.
Again, it is doubtful whether the fish
caught so far up the river are fit to eat.
Some that come TO Sacramento are af-
iicted with sores, and the flesh is of a
pale, almost milky color.

ALCOHOL AND DISEASE.


1t Is Productive of Mental and Physical
degradation.
DIR. Lewis D. Mason, of the Inebriate
asylum, Fort Hamilton, n. Y, discuss
ing the etiology of dipsomania and the
heredity of alcoholic inebriety, deter
mines as facts that alcoholism in pro-
genitors will produce physical and
mental degradation in their descend
ants, with the disorders that arise from
defective nerve organization; and all
grades of mental weakening, from
slight enfeeblement of intellect to in
sanity and complete ldiocy; and that
the laws regulating these changes are
similar to those that govern congenital
degenerative changes from other
causes The offspring of the confirmed
drunkard will inherit either the orig
inal vice or "some of it's countless
protean transformations" In another
paper-on pathological changes in
chronic alcoholism-Dr. Mason exhibits
alcohol as modifying the serum and the
anatomical elements Of the blood, be-
sides being an irritant and directly pro-
ducing modification and degeneration
of tissue, and therefore as being more
evidently a disease-producing agent.
Contrasting the little progress that has
been made in the study of the pathology
of chronic alcoholism and of the dis.
eases incident to alcoholism with the
great advance that has been achieved
in knowledge of microbic diseases, he
adds: "Alcohol has not any microbe,
but the grand total of it's mortality will
exceed the combined effect of all the
bacteria that have ever passed the mi
croscopic field or developed in the cult
ure-tube of the bacteriologist. The
subject is now, however, beginning to
receive some of the attention it de-
serves. Popular Science Monthly.
