CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
Good Salmon Fishing on the Nc
Cloud River,

1t is not often that anglers report taking
salmon in any of the coast rivers by means
Of fly or spoon, and the former especially.
Yesterday salmon Of 27b pounds in
weight was on exhibition in the window
Of Golcher Bros, on Market street, and.
needless to say, the denizen of the river
attracted quite gathering of people, many
Of whom doubted very much il the king
of fresh-water fishes was captured by an
angler lure.
Mr.. Golcher received the fish yesterday
morning and a letter from the lucky
angler. stating that it was canght on the
McCloud River by him on salmon fly,
and that it took exactly one hour aud
twenty minutes to haul it with a twelve
foot split bamboo rob, the weight of which
was fourteen ounces. Mr.. Wheeler winds
up his letter by stating that he captured
two smaller fish, the larger of which scaled
IL pounds.
This speaks well for the McCloud River,
and proves that salmon can be caught if a
fly is put to them in the proper way.

BERKELEY.

The local discussion with reference to
establishing direct ferry from the water
front at West Berkeley to San Francisco.
to compete with the Southern Pacific from
Oakland pier, has aroused the latter. and
Superintendent Fillmore and A. D. Wilder
have just completed a survey of the land
at the West End, having in view the esta b.
lshment of a direct ferry themselves as q
checkmate move. The travel to Berkeley
is now sufficiently large to warrant such
action from financial point of view. The
Southern Pacific has franchise from the
city and county for an electric line on San
Pablo avenue, from University avenue to
Lorln, where it will connect with the COM
pany's Telegraph-avenue line from Oak
land to the State University grounds. The
track has been partially laid from Dwight
way south, and the Improvement of the
street will force the company to complete
it to the south boundary line Of the town
within the next few months. This line
will be the feeder to the direct ferry pro-
posed.

Fair Credit.

Whatever may be thought of the pecu-
liar tenets of the Mormon Church, it must
be admitted that there is something to be
admired in the devotion of its members to
the system which has brought them from
many nations and united them in one
faith in the valleys of Utah. The thou
sands of Latter-oay Saints, as they call
themselves, who are now in this city,
having come from the extreme limits Of
the territory, and some from adjoining
states and territories, exhibit an attach
ment to their religion which ought to
gain the respect OF other people even
though it might be classed as fanaticism.
The scenes at the Tabernacle and As
sembly Hall during the conference were
remarkable. Both buildings were packed
to their utmost capacity yesterday, even
the aisles and every standing place being
occupied with eager worshippers, and
crowds clustering round the doorways.
The mass OF humanity in the Tabernacle
was rare sight as religious assembly,
and no one who looked upon it as the SER
vices were in progress could doubt the
sincerity of that vast audience.
The building itself is unique. The
great organ is magnificent in proportions
and III tone. The choir is worthy Of all
praise for the excellence of its rendition
of choice and sometimes classical music.
The speakers exhibit an earnestness that
is impressive, and while aiming at none
of the tricks or graces OF oratory convey
their ideas in forcible if simple language
and enchain the attention of their hearers.
Since the submission to the laws of
the land has been made by the Mormon
people, no one who is not intolerant de-
sires to see them hindered in the free ex-
ercise of their religion; and the industry,
integrity and general good qualities of
the majority of Them are becoming recog-
nized in quarters where previously there
was 70 patience with them or their prac-
tees.
AHlS 10 gredt oCcds1oH Will Iue Mor-
mon church. The temple now completed
has been forty years in construction, the
work on it having been Kindred from a
variety of causes. 1t is credit to any
people as work of art, and its cost,
beauty and solidity are a monument to
the sincerity, patience and devotion OF
the peculiar people who have made the
colonization OF these once desert wastes a
practical part of their religious system.
We congratulate the Mormons on the sue
cess which has attended these efforts, and
recognize the buildings they have erected
as valuable part of the material wealth
and attractions of this city and territory.
