OLD SCHONCHIN.
He Was One of the Chiefs Whom Free
mont Did Not Know.


Old Sehonehin, the venerable Modoc
chief, who died recently on the klamath
reservation, was indeed chief of that tribe
when Fremont had little scrimmage with
them in 1876. but the acquaintance thus
formed, though warm, was too brief for
Fremont to learn the name of the chief of
the tribe. There are just few things FIRE.
mont did not do and did not know, and
this is one of them. Old Sconchin was an
able and wise Indian. He early realized
the power of the whites and the fdtilty If
fighting them. After he made treaty with
Judge Roseborough OF Yreka. the Indian
agent of that district. in 1856 be endeavored
to prevent any trouble between the Modocs
and the whites. Captain Jack and John
Sconchin, brother of the old chief, were
the leaders of the little handful that fought
the cee brated war of the lava beds. Old
SchOnchln remained on the reservation and
had influence enough to keep more than
half of the tribe there and peaceable They
are there yet, while the lava-bed crowd
were sent back to Indian Territory end

Joseph and others, whose names are

local questions continually coming up which
are not even remotely related to national
issues. A man may stand squarely on the
Republican national platform and yet adyo-
cate municipal policy that would be ruin
Gus to the people. 1t may at the present
time be said Of the Non-Partisan convention
that it is more than meeting expectations.
1t has made some unexceptionable nomina-
tions and is carefully avoiding mistakes. 1t
is unreasonable to expect a convention
which proposes to select the best men who
can be induced to accept nominations to
perfect a ticket in one or two sessions.
There is plenty of time. and even if the
convention meets and adjourns without
making single nomination it does not fol-
low that nothing has been done. The right
men may have been found.

ALASKA FISHERIES.
Steps VIII BE Taken to Protect the
Salmon.

steps VIII BE Taken to Protect
Salmon.
Seattle Telegraph.
Max Praent, who is on his way to Alaska
as special agent Of the Treasury Depart
ment, in charge of the fisheries of the Terri
tory, was seen last evening at the Grand
Hotel. Two years ago he was removed
from the position of collector of customs
for Alaska, as he says. by the Vaccinations
of an opium ring. After settling his ac-
counts to the satisfaction of the depart
ment be preceded to Washington and
succeeded in yindicating himself before
Secretary Foster, and was appointed to his
present Office as aproOf of confidence. The
law under which he is fish commissioner
was enacted by Congress March 2, 1889, but
an appointment hereunder has not preyi-
Ously been made.
He is strongly Of the opinion that the
salmon fisheries, to which his special atten-
ton will be directed, are far more valuable
TO the United States than the seal fishery
Last year the pack was zoe, 600 cases, valued
at S3,225, eco. Heretofore many of the
streams up which the salmon run to spawn
have been actually blockaded by devices for
Salmon-catcDlng. sometimes dam being
raised to prevent them entering. The law of
March 2, 1880, prohibits such Of these as are
distractions, 1t being the object TO con-
serve the fisheries for all time. Reasonable
measures taken by the fishermen TO procure
catch are not contemplated as contrary to
the spirit of the law.
Besides the wealth Of salmon, Mr.. Pracht
thinks highly Of the black cod banks, Of
which there are several of the shores of the
peninsula running out southwesterly from
Alaska. He claims they are as prolific and
even richer than the famous banks off New
fOundland. In few years, on account OF
the slow failure Of these banks, the Alaska
commodity must come to be of great COM
mereial value. There are three firms of San
Francisco who have been sending vessels
north with good results. The banks are
about fifty fathoms under water and the
catch is made with hand lines the men fish,
ing over the sides Of the vessels and in
dories, two men to each dory. They are
fetched and salted down in the hold, taken
TO San Francisco and there sun-dred. For
the 1rst couple of years the fish were
rusty" on account OF faulty curing, but
now the secrets Of proper curing have been
found, with the most beneficial results.
He also spoke Of the inadaptabilty of the
Oregon code, which is the law of Alaska, 10
the customs anu conditions of that Terri
tory. While the code is supposed to govern
only where applicable, experience shows It's
almost total unfitness. To rectify this con-
diton OF affairs a new code is to be prepared
especially for Alaska, which will be most
iOyously received

THE 100000 SACK.

The connection between the appearance
Of S1000O0 sack to fight the Geary act
with and an expression of opinion on the
part OF the Stock Report that the Geary act
is uncOn stitutional is at present matter OF
conjecture. The 100000 sack has not yet
been raised, and the Chinese Six Com
panies have the reputation of being shrewd
enough not to throw money away. The
public meantime will bear in mind the as
sertion of the Report that the patrons OF a
newspaper have no concern as to its morals.
The continued existence of the Report de-.
ponds on its ability to make the people be-
lieve that they are not concerned as TO the
character of a newspaper they take into
their homes

THE JEFF DAVIS SURVEY.
Document That Is OF Considerable In
terest Now.


There is an old public document Of con-
siderable local interest displayed in q
window Of Fifth-street bookstore. 1t is a
volume containing the reports of engineers
sent out by Jefferson Davis. Secretary OF
War, in 1856, to make typographical sur
vey and run lines for the most practicable
route for a railway from the Mississippi
River TO the Pacific Coast.
The report on q line from San Diego to
Yuma is of special interest. 1t gives the
most feasible route as that up the San
Diego River, Mission Valley, Ell Cajon,
Santa Ysabel. through Warmers Pass
and On to the desert. The maximum
grade is fixed at 107 feet per mile
The description of the country is also
highly interesting as compared with its
condition of development ar present. An
other feature OF the old volume Is a trans
lation from the old Spanish archives at
Tucson. 1t is petition from Manuel Bar
aqua, Francisco Castor and Antonio Romero,
dated November "a, 1777. and addressed TO
the Mexican comandante, pleading for

Columbus's idea of the World.

Columbus believed the solid part OF
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance By the, sunset road
between the East indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution aud sue
cess OF his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed between
his own Europe and the land OF dia-
monds, gold, and spices; the difficulty
and peril OF the passage veto be brayed
in the far regions OF the antarctic pole
in order to sail iron our continental
Europe to the oriental Indies, BY the
western way, he would perhaps have
shrunk back in alarm and dread. Gen.

HOY a Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh. water
fishes live gives them chance to see a
great distance only in the horizontal
direction, aud the proper adjustment Of
the eye would make, under usual con-
ditions, the optical axis take this direc-
ton. To me it seems impossible to ex-
plain the constant revolution Of the eye
ball on any other hypothesis except that
gwen, viz: That the optical axis ex-
tends forward instead Of sidewise.
When . fish wishes to eat anything,
either Mt the bottom Of the pond or at
the surface OF the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are instantly adjusted in
line with the body, 50. as to bring the
image Of the particle desired upon the
posterior portion OF the retina. In this
case they lose their usual horizontal
position.
III fish wishes to turn to the right or
left in the water, says Professor Apgar
in the American Angler, the first move
ment is that Of the eyes in unison in the
direction Of the turning. This would
be entirely unnecessary If the apparent
axis was the axis Of most distinct vision,
as one OF the eyes would see all that was
to be seen on the side Of the turning.
After this movement Of the eyes the
body turns enough to bring the eyes into
their normal position, then there is again
movement Of the eyes and next move
ment of the body. This causes a peculiar
jerking motion Of the eyebahs during
the whole time Of the turning OF thu
body.

Umbrellas In Turkey.

In many Eastern countries an umbrella
lisa mark Of distinction, and its use Is
confined to people OF rank. Turkey is
one or the few Asiatic countries where
the UMBRELLAS in common use, and car
ried as protection from rain. In most
places its use is that of parasol. Says
an Eastern traveller: "Arriving at Con-
stantinople from countries further to the
east, where the umbrella is considered .
badge of high rank, was much aston
ished to find 1t in common use in rainy
weather. However, soon learned that
traces OF the same superstition existed.
One rainy morning had occasion to
walk along the road which faces the
Bosphorus. One OF the buildings
passed is favorite palace Of the Sultan.
in which he was then residing. As
approached the gate with my umbrella
over my head, one of the sentinels
stationed there accosted me in threat.
ening manner. Not understanding what
he said, went on, whereupon he ran at
me with his fixed bayonet leveled. At
that moment friendly Turk, who was
walking behind me, snatched my um.
brella with violence from my hand and
thrlst me forward. Then the soldier
returned to his station, and allowed me
to proceed in peace. On returning my
umbrella the Turk explained that every
one is obliged to take down his um-.
breIla on passing the actual residence OF
the Sultan. No matter how heavy che
rain, each person passing the palace must
lower the umbrella, and not elevate it
again until fully past the building"
