shrimp fishing on the Sound a year ago
the demand for the product has so in
creased that it has been difficult to
keep the markets supplied. The
Sound shrimps are superior in every
way to the San Francisco article, and
there has been considerable demand
for them from that city. The
Mockingbird will be fully equipped

SOME funny things happen in Cali
fOrnia. One of the funniest is the ac-
ton Of the town trustees of San Lean
dro. San Leandro is in the midst of
the great flower and fruit gardens Of
Alameda County, and the many deli
cate blooms are the prowling grounds
of thousands OF stray bees. The recent
increases in number of beekeepers is
alarming, and formal complaints have
been lodged with the trustees about
the damage caused by bees when
sucking honey from their berry grounds
A struggle is now being made with an
ordinance that shall restrain the bees
from being guilty of vagrancy. The
town attorney is experiencing con-
siderable difficulty in framing rules
that the bees can be made to respect.
The suggestion that any one who find
stray bees on his premises shall be at
liberty to destroy them is not likely to
be acted upon, as the task of chasing
bees is not regarded with favor.
