THE FISH LAW.
It is Alleged TO Have Been Passed
By Ring.


There is going to be a hot fight
this session over the fish law. 1t is
claimed that it has the very opposite
effect from which it was intended.
The Wadsw orth Dispatch has the
following:
The fish law OF Nevada, as it
stands upon the statutes to>day, is an
al sur,lly and farce. 1t has no
merits and works Just opposite to
what the law makers intended it
should work. It Is of no protection
to the fish and there is no justice in
it to the fish or the people who fish
for livelihood or for pleasure
More than one of the Legislators
Of the fifteenth session informed the
writer that the Legislature was lob
bied in the interest of thepresent law
by men who made many nlisrepre-
sensations to accomplish their ends.
There were few men in the fifteen
tn session of the Nevada Legislature
who had enough practical knowl-
edge of the matter to vote lntelli-
gently upon the measure when it
came up before them for consldera-
ton.
The present law does not protect
the fish, was not made - protect the
fish, but was made in the interest of
hail a dozen SO call sportsmen Of the
upper Truckee who had pull !"
The pull" was strong enough to
drag Fish Commissioner Mills into
the fight, and to make him trade ev-
erything in the country round for
the nonsensical law which does not
protect.
Fish Commissioner Mills was ask
ed to come to WadsHorth and make
an Investigation He was offered
every available means to enable him
to look into the matter thoroughly
and Judge for himself If the evil
dence offered did not convince him
Of his error, no opposition would be
offered to any measure he might sug
gest or propose.
There is no fairness il a decision
adduced from the testimony Of one
side, aud that side sadly lacking in
practical knowledga and experience.
We court fair and impartial trial,
and this being granted, we are wills
ing to ABIDE by the decision.

MORTALITY Among a.sa and women.


Life tables have been compiled from
the mortality returns of various periods
Of time showing that ct birth the ex-
pectation of life covers more years In
the case Of the female than in that of
the male. These tables also show that
at succeeding ages the female lead 10
maintained. But the London Morning
Post has made n tabulation that will
interest others than scientists, statisti-
clans and life insurance agents, and
which, though the data are not very
extensive, goes to confirm the results
reached in the so-called stnnd,.rd life
tables That journal has compiled all
the eases of notable longevity recorded
in its own columns during the year 1902
OF l,l5l octogenarinns 046 are women
and only 505 are men Above so ut
nearly all ages the returns continue to
favor the women; and of six ccntena-
rians all but one are women. This does
not prove that women are happier than
men, but IL is q good indication that. es
a rule, they live longer. And, though
the most reasonable presumption Is that
this Is because they enjoy an castor lifc
than men, the average woman will
doubtless continue TO wish that she had

SINGULAR TRADITION.

Tho Bella Cooia story OF tho Noschiau
Dciuge.
Al the Northern Coast Indians, says
the Victoria Oh. CT Colonist. have a
tradition of n food which destroyed all
mankind except pair from which the
earth was again peopled Each tribe
gives the story local coloring, but the
plot OF the legend 10 much the same.
The Bella Coda tradition Is rs follows:
The Creator of the Universe, Mes-mes-
sa-la-nil, had great difficulty in the ar
rangcrnent of the land and water The
earth persisted In sinking out of sight.
at last hc hit upon plan which worked
very well. Talking a long line of twist
ed wnlrus hide he tied il around the dry
land and fastened the other end to the
corner OF the moon. Everything worked
well for long time, but at last the
spirit became very much offended at
the action Of mankind, and In a fit of
anger one day seized his great stone
knife and with mighty hack severed
the rope of twisted skin. Immediately
the land began to sink into the sea.
The angry waves rushed in torrents up
the valleys, and in n short time nothing
was visible except the peak of very
high mountain.
All monlSind persisted In the whelm.
ing waters with the exception of two,
man and his wife, who were out fish,
ing in big canoe. These two succeed
cd in reaching the top of tho mountain
and proceeded to mako themselves at
home. Here they remained for some
time until the anger of Mes-mes-sa-
la-nik cooled, which resulted in his
fishing up the severed throng and again
fastening IL To the moon From this
pair thus saved the earth was again
populated In later years an Indian
succeeded In reaching the top of this
mountain, and there saw the remains
OF the fishing gear and implements used
by the Bella Coda Noah.
