No One Entitled 60 Catch Fish Out of
Season on His Own Grounds.
The full bench Of the supreme court
has held in the case of the Common
wealth vs.. Richard z. Follett, that pub
lie statutes, chapter 81, section 81, pro-
hibit an owner of land, on a stream not
navigable, from taking trout from the
stream with a net on his own land, as
well rs they prohibit other persons
from doing SO. The defendants excep-
lions are therefore overruled. The de-
PENDANT, says the Boston Transcript,
Ia the owner of a trout hatchery ut
Sheffield. He owned the trout he caught
il the net, and took them in that part of
the brook under his control for the pur-
pose Of stripping them for their spawn.
They were then to be turned back into
the brook alive. The defendant con-
tended that Hoxie trout, the species
which he engaged in propagating, had
become SO tame as to become his abso-
lutte property, wherever they might be
found in open stream. This PROPOSE
ton, the court held, is not tenable, as
"such fish are not of the class Of ami
mails which, without combining them in
private waters, can become the abso-
Lutte property Of anybody"

1t is understood, although the
officials of the road are reticent
about the matter, says the Walla
Walla Statesman, that should the
o. r. & N. extend its road from
Dayton to Covcllo that the w. &
G. r. will also branch out in that
direction, probably as far as Lew
iston, Idaho. The trade of the
rich agricultural region east OF
Dayton is a bone of contention be-
tween the rival roads, which will
probably end before fall in both
roads having lines in that part OF
the country.
The intimation that the w. &
G. r. cOntemplates branching to
Lewiston seems to partially fulfil
the predictions of the Statesman
made some time ago that, accord
ing to the survey of tho Burling-
ton route, it was highly probable
that that line would strike Lewis
ton, thence go on to Dayton, where
the w. & c. II. would DO utilized
to the Columbia and SO on to the
coast. 1t is with this end in view,
possibly, that this extension will
be made, which, if carried out, will
place Walla Walla on main line
of one of the great transcOntinen-
tai route.

BANANAS IN A BLIZZARD.

Combination Which Excited the Risiblli-

Two Italians were trudging down the
street-car tracks under the South side
elevated road in Chicago during the
snow were swept by them by the wind,
20 that half the time they were invisible
or only dimly outlined two blocks
away. The tracks were covered faster
than the sweepers could clear them
and the cars had time of it in getting
along. Each Italian had huge basket
of bananas on his head, protected from
the unfriendly elements by a piece Of
oilcloth, and trudged along in the teeth
OF the blast as serenely as if he were un-
der the skies of Italy, and the bowling
Northwestern was q summer zephyr from

An employee Of the street car compa-
ny, strapping big fellow with seven
league boots on, faced about for a mo-
ment to let his back stand the brunt of
the storm for awhile, and in doing so
caught sight Of the two banana mer-
chants. Immediately his half-frozen
features relaxed into broad grin, and,
turning to the other men who were
at work with him, he shouted:
''Say, boys! look at them Eyetalians
with their banans. l guess we amt

after q few moments returned to their
work much relieved by this little di-

The free and unlimited coinage
of silver has been one of the main
demands of the Knights Of Labor
since the Atlanta session of the
general assembly in 1889. 1t has
been REINFORCED specifically since
that time at Denver in 1890, at
Toledo in 1891, and at st. Louis
in 1892, and every legislative COM
,nittee has since made free silver,
land and transportation their chief
care when making platforms for
the order.

No More Silver Bonanzas.

The bonanza silver mines, not
only of Colorado, but of Montana
and the world are worked out.
There are no known bonanzas to-
day. The surface of the earth has
been secured. The rich, high
grade deposits have been practical
ly exhausted, and the maximum
production Of the world has been
reached. While further search
may result in occasional "rich
Strikes" the big production of the
future must be from low grade
ores and new process Of reduction.
If the free coinage of silver were
established in this country March
A, 1897, it would not increase the
production of silver 500, 900 ounces
per year for three or four years.
This, because the properties are
unknown that could increase their
output. And to put such proper
ties as are known but yet unde-
veloped into shipping condition
would require the expenditure OF
all or more than they could pro-
duce within the time mentioned.
The gradual but constant decline
in the price of silver since 1873
and 1891 has kept capital from
seeking further investments in sill
yer properties, and checked search
for same by prospectors. The OPP
perfume discoveries Of gold in the
the last few years has diverted at
tention to that metal, with the re-
suit that the production has in
creased year by year. There are
at present more men employed at
gold and silver mining and its kim
dred industries than ever before
in the history of this country.
