The best fishing joke of the season is
on one of Bar Harbor's Well known
fishermen who one day this week dis
covered what he thought We're salmon
in Duck brook stream. The aforesaid
fisherman got his fishing gear ready
and began to fish. but they didn't take
the hook very well. and he gave up
after while and came home where he
reported his find to the fish wardens
and told them that the salmon were
escaping over the dams at Eagle lake
and going down Duck brook. The fish
wardenS procured a team and num-
| Der of dip nets and started for the
brook with the intention of recaptur-
| ing the fish and putting them back
| into Eagle lake again, but when they
! arrived at the scene of action great
was their surprise to find that the fish
| that they had taken all the trouble to
| capture We're only aleWiVes. Since that
| time, strange to say. this fisherman
has not taken any great pleasure in
discussing salmon fishing.

The War Tax.

The War Tax.
The war tax goes into effect Friday,
and as the full provisions OF the bill were
printed in last weeks CALIFORNIAN the
readers OF this paper are we'll posted on
its requirements. The internal revenue
collector for this district has sent the
CALIFORNIAN the following notice:
Proprietary and documentary stamps
for the payment of stamp taxes under
the war revenue act will be on sale July
1st. Orders for these stamps, which
may be sent to James A. Wood, Collector,
Portsmouth, N. H., should state kind
and denomination desired, and must be
accompanied by a cashiers check on
Boston or New York, or money order on
Portsmouth, N. H."
The banks and druggists have already
sent for these stamps but have as yet
received no stamps. OF course there
will be some confusion for a few days,
especially il the stamps do not come on
time, but it Is believed that in very
short time there will be no trouble in
helping pay Tor the war by this kind of a
tax. In many places the government
will use for awhile regular postage
stamps surcharged II. R."

A Time to Laugh.

There's time for everything under the
sun. We say this on the best authority.
We also have the best authority for say
ing that there will be several times to
laugh on Friday and Saturday evenings,
July and 8, at the Howe Opera House,
when Hank White and the Olo Minstrels
will entertain a large number of their
friends.
Melodious minstrelsy will prevail.
The excellent musical and dramatic
ability Of which St. Johusbury can justly
boast will be drawn on to considerable
extent for these performances; and then
that well.known minstrel, Hank White,
who has convulsed many an audience,
will bring of his special talent for the
general amusement.
The first part features promise to be
finer than anything of the kind ever pre-
sented here. The combination of soloists
aud chorus singers ladies and gentlemen)
with the St. Johnsbury Orchestral Club,
in the rendition of bright and breezy
music selected especially for these per-
formances, insures something decidedly
enjoyable.
Then there will be several other spe-
cialties that will provide fun for all and
make WEAKNESS utterly impossible.
The "Trooping of the Colors," at the
close, will delight all. we are sure.
Admission rs and 35 cents. Tickets
can be had at Bingham's and Randall's
on and after next Monday.
1t must not be forgotten that the net
proceeds of this minstrel entertainment
will be used for the benefit of the Chora
Union. Make the net proceeds large.
