Arthur g. Frye. son Of George r. Frye
and grandson Of Hon. Arthur A. Denny,
died yesterday morning at his fathers
home, SD Pike street, in his cath year,
having been born September .. 1863. He
had been attending to his fathers real
estate business, but having an ambition to
learn useful vocation went to the Vulcan
Iron Works several months ago to learn
the trade OF machinist.
About three weeks ago his right hand
was crushed In some machinery quite
badly and he was laid mp In consequence.
Ten days ago fever and Inflammation set
In and he gradually got worse till his
death yesterday morning at O'Clock. II
Il thought that the injury to his hand
contributed to his death, though the
opinion has also been expressed that con-
gestion OF the brain was the immediate
cause Of il.
Arthur Frye was OF studious makeup,
and had been working also to take course
1t Stanford university in California. Those
who knew HIM closely speak in the highest
terms Of him. declaring that he was with.
out single bad habit and that he was in
every respect an exemplary young man.
This death 10 rendered particularly sad BY
the fact that il is the first In the circle Of
the children and grand children of Hon.
A. A. Denny. The funeral will be private
and will come of at 2 p. m. today from his
fathers residence. Interment will take
place at the Masonic cemetery. Relatives
and immediate friends are invited to be

Every mail d.!cges Collector Saunders
With q pile of applications and petitions
for appointments in the customs service.
From present indications more than two
thirds Of the Democratic voters Of tho
state want Office or else they know par
ticuIar friends who are nxious TO serve
the government Mr.. Saunders stated
that he would not make many changes in
the force until he had an opportunity to
fsmiliarize himself with the Office From the
manner Of his conversation il would seem
that he does not contemplate full change
Of the force before September. He viii
not make more than two appointments
before July Is, and these positions are
special deputy and auditor.
Walter Bowen appears to stand the hest
chance Of being appointed special deputy.
He has lived in Port Townsend ten years
and half Of that period he was secretary Of
the county central committee and has
been . member Of the state central COM
mittee for four years. During Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration be Was one OF
the chief deputies in the custom house and
il thoroughly familiar with the duties Of
the Office. Since 1850 he has been city
treasurer. and is regarded as thorough
business man, capable and Efficient He
has strong Endorsements from all parts Of
the state.
Although Mr.. Saunders has evinced no
preference il is generally conceded that
Charles Esplin, jr.. stands the best show
to Be deputy collector at Seattle. He has
some very creditabie Endorsements from .
large majority Of the business firms in Sc
attic. The old line Democracy, too, are
standing by young Esplin.
The Kid committee Is making supreme
effort to obtain recognition at the hands of
the new collector by pushing the candi-
dacy Of Heifnsr. Heifner's backing il
liable TO break his own neck. The men
who are favorable to his candidacy do not
seem 70 exercise judicious political fore
sight. They have antagonixed the moro
solid and substantial elements Of the
Democratic party. W. II. Whittlesey's
chances are not even considered for the
Office.
The Tacoma candidates are oil playing
still-hunt game. Mr.. Steeb stands high in
Mr.. Saunders estimation. yet there are
two or three other applicants who have
much better endorsements. 1t can be
safely stated, however. that the man who
has Hugh Wallace's endorsement will be
collector of customs at Tacoma. Rumor
has it that Mr.. Wallace has already noted
his preference, and the candidacy of
whom will be announced soon. It 10 said
there are more than fifty applicants in
that city for inspectors Of customs.
Changes in supports viii not be made
much before August l.
Mr.. Saunders left for Tacoma tonight
where he will meet some Of the state
Democracy. He says that the first quail
ficstions to be considered in applicants
are sobriety. honesty, efficiency and
capability; after that comes Democratic
influence.

Fishing IN the Lake.

A Baraga correspondent OF the Chi
cago Record gives the following inter-
esting pointers about fish and fishing
in this part of the country:
saw an able article in the Record
of April 20, entitled "Waste of Fish in
Michigan Waters" but connot agree
to oil views taken, as different sections
have not the same fish or time for TAX
ing them,
Trout in the Upper Peninsula spawn
from Oct. l to Nov. 1. A few are
caught in September. Whitefish
spawn from Nov. to Dec. 25, and all
fishing on spawning grounds should be
prohibited from Oct. to Jan. under
heavy penalties or,they will be violated.
Again, it Is not fair that all fishing
should close Nov. l, because those not
on spawning grounds should not be
made to suffer for those who wantonly
destroy the spawning fish. know
some sections where it would ruin all
established fisheries. The season for
catching brook trout should close
sooner, as they are preparing to spawn
during August. The fish wardens
should have more power and be under
control of the fish commission. As it
is, the county supervisors can allow
any and all kinds of fishing by refusing
to vote an appropriation for the fish
warden. L have known some counties
to refuse to pay anything and other
counties to make the amount so small
that no competent person would accept
the position of warden. Again in re-
gard to size and weight of whitefish
and trout taken. How are we to ass ort
them after they are in the nets? As
soon as our nets are lifted there is a
mass of struggling fish, and not until
they die can we pick the small ones
out. As the law now is, I think less
than 10 per cent are under one pound
weight, What we need is no fishing
on spawning grounds and "a revision of
the laws SO as to give fish wardens
better opportunities to enforce the
laws. Dip nets should have larger
meshes, as many young whitefish are
taken by them.
