County / saw an original idea put into
operation by two young hunters. In that
county there are number of ponds where
live blinds are used, and there are quite
number of cattle trained to serve the
hunters. There is one pond, however,
where cattle are of no use, because the APP
proaches to the water are soft and Doggy,
and will not bear up the weight OF a
yearling steer.
''rhese two hunters puzzled their brains
for several DAYS how they could get up
within shooting distance of the ponds
where the ducks were very thick. At last
they hit upon plan. They took q piece
of canvas the size of d steers side and with
a brush and several pots of mixed paints
they painted brindle and white steer
upon the canvas. This they cut out and
fastened upon frame and put hinge in
the neck of their blind. With this the two
started for the pond and walked along the
marsh with the blind held between them
and the ponds. One of the hunters bobbed
the dummy's head up and down like an OK
feeding, while the other operated the
frayed end of an inch rope like an OK
switching the flies from its side. When
close enough to the game they dropped
the blind to the ground and began to blaze
away, and great was the slaughter OF
ducks. Where such a clever substitute
can be made for live blind there is no use
in passing laws on that subject.

IN AID OF INCURABLES,
The Board of Supervisors Will
Be Asked to Donate
a Site.
Plan to Erect New Building for the
Kings Daughters Home for
InCurables.

Inc nature ana needs OF the King s
Daughters Home for Incurables, at 217
FRANCISCO street, will soon be brought to
the attention of the Board OF Supervisors
III the form OF statement of its history
and petition for the donation of a site
for the proposed new building.
The institution has outgrown its habita-
ton, which is crowded and in many re-
spects inadequate 10 the demands upon it.
y noble work has been done in an un-
ostentatious way since the incorporation
in 1890. Although the name would indi-
cate that all who went therein left hope
behind. such is far from the case. Many
have gone forth to lives of usefulness after
a few months Of the pleasant home atmos-
phere and the careful attention for which
the home is noted. One young lady who
entered the institution bearing with her a
certificate pronouncing her case incurable
is now earning her own livelihood.
Yet the majority of the cases are literally
incurable, and many an old person, friend
less and hampered by an ailment that
would last as long as life, has found COM

tary subscriptions, supplemented by the
sums paid by such Of the inmates or their
friends as are able to defray tneir expenses,
wholly or in part. Since State aid was
Withdrawn, through the economic meas
ures of the last Legislature, it has required
clever inanciering to make both ends
meet.
1t is proposed to erect building to cost
not less than $40 600 and which will ac-
commodate at least 100. a subscription
list has been started. The proceeds Of the
entertainment given by Miss Ida Diserens
| in October and that recently held by nine
little girls at the home of Mrs. A. Salts
formed a neat nucleus for the building
fund, and no inconsiderab bic addition will
be made by the contribution of 80 cents
which will be requested from every King
Daughter in the State during the year.
The plan of asking such contribution
from ali the Kings Daughters in the coun-
try, because OF the fact that this is the
only Home Tor Incurables under the aus
pices of that organization in the United
States, is being considered by the man
ayers.
The officers are: Mrs, ]. G. Clark, presi-
dent; Mrs. Z. NJ. Cofer, ce-president;
Mrs. Richard Brown, recording secretary ;
Mrs. J. B. Lowe, financial secretary; Mrs.
Fred Diserens, treasurer. Mrs. Belle Lem

WAR IN THE DUCK MARSH,
Secretary Lloyd Eaton Says the
Mallard Club Will Hold
Its Own.
Hopes Expressed That All Present
Difficulties Among the Clubs
May Be Adjusted

No little interest is manifested in SPORT
ing circles regarding the present contro-
versy between the Ibis Club and it's oppo-
nents. THE CALL has published the par
ticulars of this interesting dispute from
time to time.
Lloyd Eaton, secretary OF the Mallard
Club, believes that the public ought TO pro-
test against the doings of the Ibis Club, an
organization incorporated under the laws
OF Colorado. He said: Here are three men
attempting to establish system of game
preserves all over the State. They fasten
on to lands which are valueless for any
other than hunting purposes and which,
tons who never paid cent for them.
Once these clubs get hold of these
tracts by paying ridicuIously small,
so metlmes even nominal, rental, they
try TO bar out every one else, even
though the tracts may measure miles in
extent and be composed altogether OF
marsh land. Before long something will
surely be done to prevent this Wholesale
gobbling up of bird-hunting lands.'
Lloyd Eaton, secretary of the Mallard
Club, when asked for an expression of his
views, said the facts had been so thor
oughly canvassed that he had little to add.
However" he continued, ''you may
put me down as saying that IN spite
of the injunctions and prescriptions and
prohibitions OF every kind and nature,
our club intends to hold its own. We
have never bothered the Ibis people, but
they have bothered US in the most intoler-
able fashion. Why, don't you know,
when one of our members starts in shoot
ing anywhere near what they seem to
consider their dominions they send some
of their keepers over to spoil his shooting
'.Yes, sir" went on Mr.. Eaton, warming
up with his subject, tine oUher day I was
shooting somewhere beyond the Cordelia
Clubs quarters, when one of the Ibis
Clubs keepers came to the pond where |
was and rowed out to the middle. I told
him to get out, that he was spelling my
shooting. His only answer was to run an
tie his boat to it. Then he lit up q big
pipe that was strong enough to drive any
body. let alone duck, far from the place
when | saw that my game was spoiled

She Cares for Cats.

A lady who lives near the Jardin des
Plantes, or old Partisan Zoo, is provi-
dence TO the stray cats of her neighbour
hood. She feeds daily hundred at the
Bercy wine market, where they are al
lowed to live in the cellars. This lady be-
lieves in the transmigration of souls, and
says she feels as if she were formerly in
carnate in a woman who hated animals.
Her extreme sensibility to their sufferings
is, she also feels, the punishment melted to
her. She has in an clubhouse number of
mutilated and sick cats that she rescued.
Another lady attends to the cats in the
PalalS de Justice, the central markets, the
Prefecture Of Police and the Sorbonne.
There are thirty cats at the Palais de JUS
lice. They are in the habit of being regu-
larry fed.-Galignani' Messenger.

Ibis men were shooting and started in
to shoot with them. They told td n me to get
they would call their dogs off, meaning
the keeper. They got a little huffy, and
grumbled some, but | was game.
When l got back to where | had been the
keeper was gone, but the ducks were all
scared away.
What we are fighting and what we in
tend to fight to a finish, said Mr.. Eaton
in conclusion, sis not the Ibis Club nor
any other club in particular, but the false
and unjust principle that any club or per-
son can be able to get death-grip upon
marsh lands to the exclusion of peaceable
hunters who desire only to modest no one
and be unmolested in return. The men,
bers of our club are enthusiastic in their
conviction that the courts will decide in
our favor. In the meantime the best course
would seem to be the strictest adherence
to the rules of courtesy on both sides, with
the distinct understanding that our side
is going to hold its own"

GRABBED PRINCIPAL TIES,
How the Northern Pacific
Filched Mineral
Lands.
Mr.. Merrill Will Assist Senator Ford
to Frame a Law Governing
Our Property.

Thomas G. Merrill of Helena, chairman
Of the Montana State Com mission to look
after the mineral lands within the North
ern Pacific grant and see that the railroad
did not grab them, is at the Palace.
He has come to confer with Senator
Ford and others of the California Miners
Association in regard to the drafting OF
law here.
The Montana State Commission was
formed, so Chairman Merrill said, to ex-
anime and classify the lands, acting in
conjunction with the United States Com
missioners appointed by Congress to act in
each of the three districts OF Montana.
Each of these commissions consists of
three men.
One of the districts has Helena for its
center, another MissouIa and the other
BoZeman.
Within these three districts, said Chairman
Merrill, is the Northern Pacific grant, and
within the odd sections there are about H.,
100000 acres OF land which would be the rail-
ways unless found to be mineral, always eX-
cepting coal and iron, which of right would go
to the road.
have examined and classified over IL 100000
acres.
The State Commission was appointed TO
assist the three United States Commissions as
far possible. We are saving large areas of
mineral land, and the combined commissions
are doing much good.
When first called attention to the need of a
State Commission the Northern Pacific Rail-
road had already selected and had certified to
them for patents from United States officials
more than 2,000, 600 acres OF mineral land in
which there were thousands OF mining prop
critics on which work had been prosecuted.
Many of these were developed mines and
very valuable. OF course the Northern Pacific
will not get any portion of this 1000, 900 acres
now, nor will 1t get great deal more that it
had expected to get and would undoubtedly
have secured were it not for the work we have
| done to forestau the road.
| L understand that in California now the
Miners Association and others are interested
| in the passage of law such as that
| giving our commission work in Montana. 1t is
| for this purpose that I have come 10 confer
with Senator Ford and others here. Any aid
that can give shall gladly render.
Chairman Merrill will be here till Satur.
day.

ABDUCTION OF SING FoNG
The Girl Restored to Her Parents-Hel
Abductor Arrested.

Abductor Arrested.
Sing Fong, Is years old, daughter of Gee
Pom Chung, 712 Commercial street, was
abducted last Monday night by Lee Lang
Toy.
Diligent inquiry was made by the dis
tressed father to ascertain the place where
his daughter was detained, and yesterday
he secured hint that the girl and her alb
ductor We're in the basement at 833 Sacra-
mento street. Sergeant McManus of the
Chinatown squad was called and forcibly
entering a back room of the basement
found the girl and Lee Lang Toy. There
was no furniture in the room. A few
boards and blanket constituted the outfit.
Some food was found, consisting mainly of
candy and cake.
The girl was restored to her father and
her abductor arrested. he gave his age as
80 years, and said that the girl had S1OO
of his money.
The sergeant asked her about the money
and she denied having that or any other
sum. The prisoner then asserted tnat she
bad a gold watch belonging to him, but
she denied all knowledge of the timepiece.
When Sergeant McManus took hold of
the girl to lead her away from the base
ment, Lee Lang Toy used force to detain
her, claiming that he had married her.
The sergeant subdued him and de-
manded his marriage license, which the
abductor could not produce.
According to the girls statement to her
father, she was decoyed or enticed to the
basement by Lee Lang Toy.

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
Editor Joe Mccullough and ex-Gov-
ernor Francis Drawing Down Divi-
dends From Inyo Mines.


dends From Inyo Mines.
G. T. Rives, superintendent of the Rem
ard Gold Mining Company of Inyo County,
in which st. Louis men are interested, is
at the Grand. The property is near indie
pendence and but mile and half from
the Carson and Colorado Railroad.
"We have just completed new ten
stamp mill, wire rope suspension tram
way and several buildings" said Mr..
Rives. "a ledge of high-grade ore has
been opened and the property is paying
well now. We have already made several
shipments of gold and concentrates to this
City. Our working force varies from ff-
teen to twenty men.
considering that this property was not
purchased till May, think we have made
d remarkable showing with it.
Some of the best-known men of st.
Louis are interested in the mine. Among
them are: Ex- Governor Francis, the mill
lionaire Pierre Choteau, Editor Joseph
Mccullough of the Globe-Democrat, Il. L.
Allen, a leading attorney, and Professor
". B. Potter of Washington University
formerly president of the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers.
''Inyo County is new yet as regards
mining development, but it has many rich
prospects aside from developed mines. and
| look for a great deal of development
there during the next year or two. The
mines we are working are in the Inyo
Range, opposite the Sierra Nevadas"
MIR. RiYes will be here several days.
