ROD AND REEL.

Grand Sport Is Now to Be Had In
Russian Rlver-FIne Catches.
If the lovers of angling who fancy troll
ing for steeiheads desire anything like
sport this winter, they should journey i'm :
mediately to Russian River, where the
fishing is now about as good as it will be
this year. Notwithstanding that the net
fishermen are shipping from Duncans
Mills large numbers OF the so-called
salmon TO this City.
The railroad is patronized extensively
by the angling fraternity of this City, still
it will transport fish over its line which
are taken by illegal means, and the rev.
enues derived by the company from such
shipments is not to be compared with the
financial support it receives from anglers
and sportsmen. With few exceptions the
nets used for the capture of steelheads by
the fishermen who reside in the vicinity
of Duncans Mills are not of legal size, but
the Fish Commissioners say that their
treasury is empty, and consequently they
cannot afford 10 deputize an officer to
make arrests, and thus the matter stands
The Supervisors OF Soroma County
some time ago repealed an ordinance
which prohibited the capture OF steel
heads at the mouth of the river by means
OF uelS WHICH SlTeLCn from DdnK TO Dank,
and as result few fish can now be seen
in the streams that empty into the river:
The meters, it appears. are not satisfied
with the law as it reads relative 10 the
size of the meshes of nets that is permits
sible. Latest reports from Duncans Mills
state that the fishes are being caught in
nets the meshes of which are much
smaller than the law allows, yet some
steelheads escape the lines, as may be
seen by the following, which is a copy of
letter received yesterday at this office:
DUNcANs Mills Jan. Is, 1897.
Spof ting Editor Call: The fishing OF the last
few days mas been very good, and If it does not
rain some grand sport will be had while the
river is in its present fine condition. Cross and
Wilson caught five yesterday evening, Crack
nell caught two and several were hooked and
lost have just learned that the boys are
having great sport this morning near the
mouth of Austin Creek. Butler, Gallagher
and Judge Evans are in the swim to-day. But
Ter shipped three fish to the anglers head
quarters, on Suffer street, to-day. The spoon
is doing the work. Yours truly,
G. W. MORGAN.
In all probability there will be rush OF
anglers to 1.-The fishing banks" to-day, as
the weather conditions cannot be relied
upon; the first rain will destroy the sport.
The Golcher Bros. have received some
beautiful grilse rods and leaders which
anglers who are DESTROYS of having
the best quality of goods should see. Tue
rods in construction are something SINH
lar TO the tournament rods.
A few fish were caught during the week
at Point Reyes, but it is safe to say that
anglers will not have real good sport until
netting at the mouth of the creek is
stopped.
An angler who returned yesterday from
Alvarado mad two nice fish which he
caught in slough within mile of the
town.

room to show him his new revolver, one
of the cheap 22-caliber order. As he ap'
preached the owner of the weapon ex-
claimed Nov prepare to die, and MS
remark was followed by an explosion and

only damage to Devricco's head was a
scalp wound above and back OF the

He is well posted on cycling matters all

large advance orders for 1897, and with
the absence of cheap wheels and mush-

business is in a healthy condition.

Capt. George Chauncey Boardman

day night astonished tho mem bers of his
command by announcing that he had ten
dered his resignation and that it had been
forwarded to Brigadier- General Warfield.
Captain Boardman, who is general agent
of one Of the large insurance companies of
this City. expressed his deep regret to be
forced to take the step he had, but stated
that the nature of his business was such
that it was impossible for him to devote to
the corps the time required. and rather
than neglect his duties as guardsman he
had concluded to retire and allow some
one who had the time to assume the COM
mau6 OF the corps.
The announcement was q complete sur
prise to the signal men and it was init
mated that the fact of the captain
having been married last October
might possibly have something to do with
the resignation; but that intimation was
silenced when it was announced that Mrs.
Boardman was opposed to his retirement
from the service.
Captain Boardman has been connected
with the National Guard since 1885. He
was private of the Cadet Company, Second
Artillery, January %, 1885; corporal of the
same company March /, 1886, and SER
geant of the company Novem Der l, 1886.
He was honorably discharged October, 20,
1887. On the following day he enlisted as
a private in the Signal Corps of the First
Infantry. and on the 1st of April was
transferred to the Brigade Signal Corps.
May q, 1889, he was elected sergeant of
the corps. and on the Sd of August he be-
came first lieutenant of the Signal Corps
of the Second Brigade. On the retirement
OF Captain A. A. Hanks he took command.
Since the organization of the Signal
Corps he has been an enthusiast in the
work, and ever since he has been in COM
mand he worked hard and faithfully TO
bring it up to its present efficiency. So
high a reputation has this company at
this time thatamong National guard smen
it is known as the ''crackerjack company"
There is not a member of the corps but
feels sorry to part with the captain, who
has won their esteem and highest respect.
