missioEers viii descend on him. Yet, the
M0Ggolians use them every day, and have
been using them for years.
They are used for catching sea bass or
sturgeon. The Chinese string 400 or so OF

as in every other, the Chinese are permitted
10 fish as they please with impunily.
How do | know that this fishing is still
going on? BY the fish received in this store
and others every day. They are ripped and
slashed up in such a way as TO render them
quite inferior from q mercantile standpoint.
These torn and ragged fish tell the story OF
how they are caught as accurately as though
l had seen them pulled out of the water
You see our hook, which is but the or
binary fish hook enlarged, comes within the
Jaw because they are invariably baited and
but so or 80 Of them stretched on single
line.
"Why don't the Fish Commissioners en-
force the law? Well, l have my own belief
on that subject, and SO have all the fisher
men and fsh-dealers.
"W are all glad 10 see THE CALL taking
up lie matter for US, and feel now that we
may soon have some relief, and that the
great slaughter of The fish may be sto ped"
A local fisherman who has Just returned
from Deer Creek, TehRma County, says the
Chinese fishermen there are using dyna-
mite and giant powder to kill fish. They
XIII many thousands Of all sorts of FISH in
this way, many Of them too young for the
market.
Everybody in the neighbnrhood knows
what is going on, but is afraid TO report
the Chinese for fear Of mourning their
hatred and consequent vengeance.

ITALIAN DRAGGERs.
They Are Helping the Chinese to Destro
the Young Fish.

They Are Helping the Chinese to Destroy
the Young Fish.
Not all of the Italian fishermen will join
the Fishermen's Political Club. Sixteen
boat crews, numbering in all 80 men, will
assuredly not become members of that
organization, though it is quite likely the
club Will have a good deal to do with these
Is and that they viii have more or less to
do with the club.
Italian fishermen claim that these 16
crews are engaged in illegal fishing. and it
is quite certain that if their calling is not
Illegal it should be.
These men are engaged in dragging the
bay in the vicinity of Angel Island. and
whether their operations are legal or Illegal
they are certainly thorn in the path of the
other Italian fishermen.
More than this their operations are very
destructive and should be put stop to at
once.
They fish for tomcod sole, founder. King
FISH. and catch pretty much everything that
swims in the bay. They use a seine with
meshes almost as small as those used by the
Chinese, and 10 young fish escape them.

The italians wiz Organize to Protect
Their Industry.
The lOng.suffering Caucasian fishermen
have al last determined TO go into politics.
For years they have strained every other
effort for the preservation Of the young fish
in San Francisco Bay, but in vain. Now
they mean TO seek relief at the polls.
Before the week is ended the Fishermen's
Political Club viii be organ lied with q
membership Of not less than 100. This will
be increased, II is expected, until all Of the
400 or 500 voting fishermen nave joined the
club.
There are nearly 1000 Caucasian fisher
men in this city, most Of them Italians, but
their number is largely interSpersed with
Greeks, SpaniaTds and Slayonians. How
ever, they are known as the Italian fisher
men, their boats ali anchor at Fishermen's
wharf. and the entire colony reside within
almost a stones throw Of their boats.
The Fishermen's Political Club will have
but one purpose, that Of fostering and pro-
teeting the Industry in which its members

handsomely for the privilege of catching
young fish. but the proceeds of the business
as conducted by them are enormous, and can
well stand the levy.
During all these years the Chinese have
been at their illegal business no white man
dared set trap or lay line that was not
strictly in accord with the law, He would
be arrested at once.
"The Chinese have been allowed the ex-
elusive privilege of fishing Illegally. 1t is

next to impossible to catch any there.

LIFE's GIFTS.

Life gifts, they were never distributed fair
There's some who get more and some less than their
share
Some gather the prizes as sure as they fall,
And others as surely get nothing at ALL
Some lie on their pallets of straw, and a sup
OF water is all they can drain from the cup;
While others on silken, soft couches recline.
And never drink anything weaker than wine.
Some carry gold watches and gold headed canes,
And some are in broadcloth and some are in jeans
And some who the requisite currency lack
Have never the stitch of a coat to their back.
To me it's no matter for all the day long,
With spinning of rhyme and the weaving OF song.
At work for the muses., contented and fain,
stand at the loom and never complain
The happiest man in the world, without doubt,
Is the one who has nothing worth troubling about;
His vision is clear and unclouded by cares
And he looks on the sunshiny side of affairs
He nurses no sorrow and harbors no woes,
And the mad race for riches he shuns as he goes,
And says, as he pleasantly looks on the whole;
''The things of this world not good for the soul
There once was a monarch that like to went DAFT
With the worries of state and the cares of his craft
And the doctors TO keep his old brains in repair,
Advised that a happy mans shoes he should wear.
They looked high and low and they looked far and
wide,
Into every bit part OF the kingdom they pried
And when on the happy fit fellow they came
He hadn't the sign of shoe to his name
Which leads me to think, and I'm free to declare,
Lifes gifts they were never distributed fair;
Some gather the prizes as sure as they fall,
And others as surely get nothing at all.
