ANGLERS CATCH
STRIPED BASS.

The anglers who recently returned from
Eel River state that trout and salmon
fishing is now first class and that excel
lent sport will continue until the arriv al
of heavy rains.
John Gallagher, the veteran angler, who
has whipped every stream in this State
that ontains trout worthy of a place in
an anglers basket, is profuse in his
praises OF the Eel River. He says that the
small steelheads that average three
quarters of pound in weight take fly
readily and fight like little demons. The
large steelheads and quinEat salmon are
caught by means of trolling, yet OCCASION
ally n fuli-grown steelhead will rise to
fy.
Just previous to Mr.. Gallagher's de-
parture from the happy fishing grounds
Ee hooked a sixteen and half pound
steelhead on number ten fly and landed
his prize after enjoying a hrst-class ex-
perience in playing large fish on light
tackle. He says the battle royal lasted
three-quarters OF an hour.
Al Wilson and r. Mcfarland have at
last discovered the feeding grounds of the
striped bass, but they do not propose to
make known the fishing grounos until
they will have an ample sutficiency of
sport. Mcfarland says that the bass
angler grand sport. 1t is rumored that
the trolling grounds are somewhere in
San Pablo Bay.
If heavy rains should fall between now
and Decem ber /, local anglers will enjoy
some frst-class sport fishing for steel
heads in the Paper mill and Sonoma
creeks.

In the san Francisco market quotations Tues
day the price ranged from So 30 per dozen for
mauards 10 II 30 ior teal, thus making an av-
erage OF - 90 per dozen. Twenty-eight hun
ored pounds would probably mean some thing
over thousand ducks, and at the liberal ng-
ures given would bring in the san Francisco
market S275 or more. This is pretty good Tor
less than weeks work.
The Australian press is congratulating
itself upon the fact that when its cltlZs rs

Woods and Semler, and they took him to
the Sonoma Pickle Works on Battery

They wanted $400 for a half interest in
the business, and after some talk, Cowan
agreed 10 pay $500. They went before a
notary and an agreement was drawn up
and signed, Cowan paying over the
money.
Cowan wanted to go back to the factory,
but Woods and Semler prevented him,
and instructed him TO call next day at a
store on Seventh street, near Mission.
He did so, and found two empty pickle
barrels and one about half full. He made
inquiries and found that Woods and Sem
ler had nothing to do with the Sonoma
Pickle Works. Since then he has been
trying to get back his money, but without
success.
