MEMBERS WANT CLERKS.
There is EuCh 0ppofition, However,
to Increasing the salary.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 9,--'Che dis
cussion in the house Of representa-
tives over the question Of clerks for
members is one which arouses more
feeling than most debates upon
legislation of national consequence,
There has been a movement in
several congresses to secure clerks
for members, bur It was successfully
combatted BY economists, as their
colleagues term them, antil the
beginning Of the present congress
Then law was PASSED which per
mitted members to draw Hoi more
than 500 a month during the 5cS-
sions, upor certifying to the clerk
Of the house that they had eSpcnd-
ed the sum applied for, for clerical
assistance
Even this innovation met with
considerable opposition, although
it did not give members of the
house the same advantage which
senators have for several years
enjoyed, as each senator has for
his assistant a clerk who is carried
on the rolls at 81 200 per anuum,
unless the senator is chairman Of
an important committee, when his
clerk, as clerk OF the commit tee,
receives greater compensation.
The attempt in the house yester-
day to place members on the same
plane with senators in the matter
Of clerkshipo, was bitterly opposed,
particularly from the Democratic
side, but may be passed when there
Is quorum in the house,
There is no doubt in the minds of
those familiar with the work Of
congressman that for most of them
clerk is an indispensable factor,
while congress is actually in session,
as there is much work of purely
clerical and routine nature which
every member is called upon to DO
for his constituents,
Later in the day the house, in
committee Of the whole, by a vote
Of l24 to 80, voted to place indiyid-
ual clerks Of members on the annual
salary roll at the rate of 800 per
month, These clerks now get 500
per month during the session of the
house,

Natives of Alaska have for years declared
that living mastodons exist in the northern
part Of the territory. These stories were
partially confirmed by the large number OF
tusks, bones, and ia some cases nearly
whole skeletons Of the animal found on the
surface Of the ground or protruding from
1t. Certain tribes OF Alaska Indians, whose
homes are far northward, assert that they
have frequently seen live mAstodons with.

quented of the several beauty spots
in the Honolulu park system is en-
closed in a most unsightly and OBJ
jectionable way. The fence is a
time-wo and rickety affair, home
ly and useless. 1t should be put
away and replaced by neat stone
coping. The cost would be slight,
the park would look more like
what it is designed to be and its
attractiveness would be doubled.
The present fence was perhaps
necessary years ago when live
stock wandered down town,
but Honolulu is now be-
yond this stage. 1t would
be well, also, for the Board of Edu-
cation to reduce very materially the
height of the wall which now hides
the grounds of the new high school
from public view. There would
then be exposed as feast for the
eyes of residents and visitors one
of the most charming bits of land
scape the Islands affords. Both
these improvements should be
made without delay.

in and killed it.
This land locked bay of San Diego

Is favorite home for the black sea

called. Catching these fish il excellent

Of q window sash cord, large hook Of

tackle needed for this sport
The baited hook is dropped 10 the
bottom in 80 feet or more Of water A
vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks
itself Then the fun begins. The long
line plays out with the rapidly of a
whale line when the harpoon strikes
home. The jewish tires more quickly

Of the rowboat begins to take up the

he darts again and stops The slack is
pulled in again. The efforts Of the fish
become less vigorous The line is made

warned to look out The fish begins to
run away. The line tightens This time
it does not play out, The fish, feeling
the weight of the boat, strives hard to
get away from it.
Faster and faster goes the boat as
the captive fish tows it seaward until
the bow is pulled down almost beneath
the waves, and it is sometimes necessary
to put out the oars and attempt TO re-
tard the dangerous progress. By degrees
the fish gets tired coping with such
heavy odds and finally allows itself to
be drawn alongside the boat, A blow
