spawning beds. Doubtless there will be a rush of anglers to Point Reyes to- morrow-that is unless the rainstorm shall continue over Sunday, in which case fishing of any description would be out of the question.
 Last Sunday four fish were caught at Point Reyes and the Hon. Dr. Watt was fortunate enough to land a twelve pounder at a place called the big rock pool.
 Messrs. Cooper and Walker angled in the tide waters of Sonoma Creek. Cooper caught a fve-pounder and also a beau- tfful rainbow trout of about one pound in weight

 The first game warden ever appointed for Monterey County has just been named by Ihe County Board of Super yisors and will assume the duties of his office at once. With the appointment goes curious provision, and one which makes the affair unique in county annals. The new warden takes office with the under standing that should the board at any time consider him a superfiuous official and request his resignation he will hand 1t in.
 The game laws have always been kept in this county and no trouble was had over them until recently, but during the past year so many complaints have reached the County Supervisors from per sons who allege that young fish have been taken from the streams and game killed out of season. that the board deemed it advisable to appoint warden for at least a short period. E. H. Godat is the new warden, and he will hereafter devote his time to keeping intact in Mon terey County the California game laws
 It is hoped that San Mateo County will also appoint warden. It is certainly in need of one.

ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE. The Work of Demolishing the Old Woodward Stables Rapidly
 Progressing.
ANOTHER

The work of demolishing the old Wood ward Stables at Fourteenth and Mission streets preparatory to the erection of hospital by the Market-street Railway system for the employees of the road is rapidly progressing and now but a small portion of the old landmark remains to tell the life tale of thirty years ago when it's present site and for miles around was nothing but wilderness. With the tear ing down of this building will fade the last recollection of Woodward's Gardens, and the old balloon cars which people in those days thought it a treat to ride in, coming from miles around to rattle over the dusty Mission road in the bobtail
 Just what shape and what proportions the new building will assume when com pleted is not as yet definitely known, as the final contract for Its construction has not been awarded.
 The hospital when completed will be op- erated on the same system as that adopted by lodges in caring for their sick members. An employe of the road when taken sick will be sent to the hospital and there doctored and nursed, receiving every attention, in fact, that modern in- stitution of this character affords to it's members for the small sum of fifty cents a month

The following communication from the
 Stanford University will interest amateur athletes:
 STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb; A. There is plenty of activity on the track, but as yet little systematic work is being done. Things need direction and it Is here that the trackmen and a goodIy number of new ones are out and working along slowly.

 The distance squad is particularly large It Is led by Everett Smith. Williams. Steele; Dave Coolidge and II. Rose are doing good work Under the advice of Luther Cary, the Princeton crackerjack, these men have been doing less severe training. Work in the other of the hurdles, in which Dole. Morgan and Culver have been doing little something.
 In baseball the team is experiencing slump. Fewer men coming out for practice and the right kind of spirit is not being put into the play. A number of good men who donned suits the first of the season, having despaired Of making places on the team so well decided does the makeup seem, have ceased to ap- pear the diamond. Practice under these conditions is slow and unsystematic and the work in consequence still crude.
 The weakness of the Varsity was shown Tuesday when the Alumni nine defeated 1t on its own grounds by score of Il to 3. The collegians could not run bases and were al, most sure to be caught out before they had reached the. third bag. In batting little that is encouraging was done. Krug, of the Cali fornia Markets, practically had the Stanford at critical times was another characteristic Of the game put up by the Varsity Strohn however, was not behind the bat was Cap tain Loughead out.

James W. Kerr Addresses the Com ing Convention at Wash
 in Ofon

Q
 On March the National Pure Food and Drug Congress will meet in the city of Washington and an invitation was sent to James w. Kerr, president of the Man ufacturers' and Producers Association, to attend. The local board was very de- srous of having it's chief officer represent it at the congress-, but his business and the ShortneSS of the notice made this i'm possible, so he prepared a letter which he has sent to be read before the national gathering. In it he says:
 The State of California takes more promi- nent position as a food producing State than the number of it's population would indicate. It takes first place in the production of beet olives and olive oils its honey and it's various dairy products are ever increasing resources Of therefore, that the subject which brings you together should be considered of paramount inn portance by our people
 After briefly re ewing the aims of the association and what it has accomplished and detailed account of the recent troubles growing out of the shipment to i under the name of pure California brandy" and the protection to the stuff by the Federal authorities at Washing ton, MT. Kerr says:
 It must be apparent to all that laws which are powerful to protect fraudulent manu- lecturers from State authorities. and yet so Ieepie m cheeklng tne consummatlon or crime. or protecting honest people, must be in themselves defective and l would ask this Congress to endeaVor to secure for State off cers some control over manufacturers in United States bonded warehouses; so that when such frauds and irregularities occur, if they do not have the power to confiscate and condemn as with outside manufacturers, they can at least the detention of the goods in warehouse or in transit until such time as their true character can be investigated. I re- gret very much that should meet with the most effective opposition to work at the hands of the Federal authorities, and trust that you will be able to impress upon them the fact that the honor of nation is not en- tirely bound up in the character of money we shall pay to bondholders.

 This is a considerable change from the usual line up of these teams. For the CyclerS FollanSDee has heretofore always played behind the bat, and they will miss the invincible Monahan at short, who was laid off owing to injuries. The Bay C1tys will put their ambidextrous pitcher, Me Gllvray in as backStop in this game, and their regular catcher. Tommy Hall, said by experts to be the best all-round player in the league, will go out to left garden, as his hand is badly swollen from the last game and he cannot catch behind the plate. With Meme in form again and Commary able to play, the same old stone wall infield will be there, and this prom ises to be one of the warmest games Of the season.

The in vitations are unique, consisting of small canvas pouch, presumably for tobacco, highly decorated with likeneSseS of various prominent members. The programme will consist of a high-class vaudeville enter tainment, interspersed literally with re- treatments both solid and liquid.
 Harry Monahan, the crack shortstop of the Olympic Cyclers nine, will not play in to-morrows game with the Bay Citys, owing to confused eye. Harry told Fred Butz that he got it from a foul tip while playing behind the bat in practice. Jimmy Coffroth, on inquiry, was informed that a fall from a wheel was the cause. Butz and Coffroth met compared notes, be- came suspicious at the varied stories and started an investigation. Something about Tuesday night, the Chutes, lady and two ruffians was the combined result of their research. But the lady says Harry Is a hero, so there you are.

The local team was very con fident, and justified the expectations of it's supporters at least during the first half when the score stood ' to in its favor. A change, however, took place when play was resumed and the Oakland team carried off the game with a final score of 15 to Il points in its favor. Zeihn and Menzies played well and secured 10 points on clever goals, while Deby proved yers, and Oliver made out of the Il points for his team.
