Another Plea for the Trout.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: A few days
since, while visiting friends on the
American River. l learned through the
columns of newspaper of the move our
Fish Commissioners had made against
the trout destroyers on the Truckee.
They are $50 says the paper going to pre-
vent the lumber companies from Dump
ing any more sawdust in the river. This
is good news for those anglers who fire.
quent that locality, enjoying the grand
sport that famous stream affords.
These companies have used the river
to carry off their waste sawdust and other
refuse for years and it is high time for
them to be brought up with a short turn.
The action taken by our officials is COM
mendable, and will receive the hearty
support of the SportSmen of the entire
State. Since they have locked horns with
the law violaters on the Truckee, would it
not be in keeping with the proper spirit
TO extend their efforts toward suppressing
the evils existing in the American
River? It is not as aristocratic a stream
as the Truckee, but has in the past al
forded good sport to hundreds of the
States citizens.
Some weeks since the attention of our
Commissioners was called toward the
condition of the sAmerican River and
Silver Lake through your columns.
Shortly after that communication ap-
peared the slat screen lying un-
used was put in position, showing
conclusively the disposition of the own
ers of the canal to do something.
The coutrivance now in position is
totally unfit for the purpose, being con-
structed OF wooden stats about one and

one-half inches apart This would allow
nine-tenths of the fish to escape through
into the canal,
What is wanted is a permanent screen,
made of a solid frame covered with gal
vaniZed screen wire of one-quarter-lncn
mesh. Such screen would stop further
ingress of fish to the canal, and be one
step toward righting the injustice now
existing. 1t is a shame and disgrace to
allow the wauton destruction Of so many
food nsh in this manner. Ii one OF the
Commissioners will visit the locality he
will find abundance of evidence OF this
wholesale destruction. Many OF the
river residents are employed from LlIne
10 time by this corporatlon-the Deep
Gravel Mining and Water Company-and
are 10th to cause them any trouble.
After questioning the residents along
the banks of the river, | learned that hall
has not been told. Said resident few
days since:
SHOULD Commissioner happen here
while some of the many waste-gateS were
open, he would be astOniShed to find the
numbers Of fish thatsare LETT stranded in
the ditch. Then let him climb down the
side of the mountain, in the course of the
wash-way, and count if he could) the
fish destroyed by being dashed to pieces
on the rocks"

this season, allowing the fish to go by and
over the dam in the river. 1t frequently
happens that the water at this time of the
year is low, and when all turned into the
canal works disaster upon the fnny
tribe below the site of the dam. The
trout come up to the dam in the pool just
below it, remaining prey to the vandals
of the river, being scooped out with nets
by the bucket full.
We feel confident justice will in the end
prevail. We hope to see in the near tu-
ture suitable fish-ladder in the river at
the dam, a properly constructed tish-lad-
der at Silver Lake, and proper screen at
the head of the canal.
We need not look to the Deputy Fish
Commissioner for relief in this matter,
judging from his past actions. What conf
dence could be placed in an official who,
it is said, catches his trout with a seine "a
In conclusion, l can only say we have
waited patiently to see move on our
Commissioners part in this matter, and
consider it my duty again to bring this
subject before the sportsmen of the State,
hoping to see vigorous and speedy action
on the part of our public officials.

TECHNICAL WRONG.
Deputy Douglas Inquiry Into the {
PEOPLES Home Affairs.

Deputy Douglas Inquiry Into the Old
Peoples Home Affairs.
w. w. Douglas of the State Controllers
Office, who has been investigating the
accounts of the Old Peoples Home in
San Francisco, concluded his labors on
Saturday.
He went down there to look into the
alleged fraud on the State of collecting
the States allowance of 500 on indigents.
The allowance is only supposed TO be
paid the home for people who are unable
TO pay SIS month for their maintenance
in the institution.
The investigation was provoked by
some of the inmates of the home who
paid 81 900 or =, ,000 when they entered for
maintenance during their remaining
years OF life. These patients resented
being claosed IS paupers.
Before leaving the city on Saturday
evening Mr.. Douglas said to reporter:
Technically, maybe, the Managers of
the Old Peoples Home have defrauded
the State, but no one protited by it except
the inmates of the institution. l do not
say, you understand, that the home did
get more than it was entitled to. 1t
would be improper for me. to make any
such statement prior to reporting to the
Controller, but this much / may say: Ii
anything more than what was due was
secured the amount is small-less than
$1,000. There was no deliberate inten-
ton to misrepresent things. The con-
ductors of the home were simply mis-
taken as to what their institution was
entitled to. Even that point is not
settled. The question is, Can person
who has paid $1,000 for maintenance be
regarded as a pauper?' The home peo-
pie believed they were justified in re-
nearly every case tho inmates had moth
ing left, and the management thought
the institution was entitled to State aid
in such cases."

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 12O, 160 and 500 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions as above Indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than fron $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seellers that this is opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land ct SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this

pickeled eggs which have will be a
wonderful financial help during the win
ter. 1 have recommended this method
of increasing the profits of the poultry
yard in localities where the average year
ly rice Of eggs is low.
The pickle is very easily made. I
have a half-barrel which stands near
the casks, and is elevated above them.
put in fifteen or twenty pounds Of
active lime, and fill the barrel up with
water. I add, perhaps, four quarts of
salt. When the lime is slaked, the mix
ture is allowed to settle; when clear, [
find by the crust that is formed over the
water that strong solution is made.
The liquid is dipped off or may be run
off through tube into the casks. This
lime may be. used to make several solu-
tions if a lump of fresh lime is added
occasionally to keep up the strength. [
put sufficient quantity mo the casks
to cover the eggs ami they are then
about one-third full.
The eggs are carefully tested for cracks
by gently knocking them together.
When the casks are full sscloth is gen
tly spread ever the tops land quantity
of thick lime placed upon it. The pick
lie should cover the lime and cloth. The
eggs are taken up by scooping carefully
into them with wire basket, rinsed
