IMPORTING PHEASANTS.
The English Ring-Neck Variety t.
Be Brought From New Jersey.

The State Board of Fish and Game
Commissioners met yesterday and con-
sidered proposition made by the Fresno
County Sportsmens Association. The
secretary of the organization wrote that
the members are very much interested
in the propagation of all kinds of game
birds in that county and are DESTROYS of
increasing within its borders the game
fowls of other lands. The State has
placed many Monaghan pheasants in the
county, which the sportsmen are guard
ing with jealousy. Now the members
wish to add the English ring-necked
pheasant, which has proved to be such a
success in New Jersey. The offer was
twenty-five or thirty of these birds If the
commission would stand one-half of the
expense. The Commissioners considered
that the proposition was a good one, as
they had desired to bring these birds into
the State but the limited fund at the
disposal of the commission and the great
expense 1t is being put to in importing the
Monaghan pheasant from the Orient
would not permit. The steamer Coptic,
which arrived Thursday, brought an
other lot of Monaghan pheasants from
Shanghai China. They came from the
commissions agent, F. H. Haskell, who
is now in China selecting pheasants for
the hills and valleys of California The
new arrivals are in good condition and
will at once be liberated in the hills near
lone, Amador County, and near York
Vile, Mendocino County, one-half to each
section.

The stewards of the Pacific Coast

the public's money has been lost the last
big steal at Ingleslde termed a steeple-
chase was givena thorough overhauling. 1t

were down on Colonel Bartlett and Sill

the owner of Lord Chesterfield, was also
ruled off. ]. Coyle, considered the inter-
locutor in the game, had the same SEN

STEELHEAD FISHING.
Anglers Are Waiting Another Heavy
Rain at Point Reeves.

The anglers are not meeting with much
success, as the water in the lagoons IS
too low and clear, conditions which are
not favorable to sport. A good rain is
needed to food the creeks, when the an
nual February run of steelheads will be
welcomed. During the last storm the
fishes made a mad rush for the head
waters Of the rivers and creeks, where
they soon became the property of the
country lads, who are handy with fish
spear. The killing of one female fish
means loss of 5000 fry to the stream
whence the fish is taken. Anglers who
spend thousands of dollars yearly among
the hotels and the stables of country
towns which are within easy reach Of
fishing streams are not very liable to
return if they find that there are no
trout to be caught. To slaughter breed
ing fishes is the surest way of DESTROYING
a good trout stream
The following poetic effusion from q To-
cal bard, entitled The Steelhead," will
be read with much interest by the an
glers who visit Point Reyes:
A plump and gamey fish we
When first we come in from the sea,
And rest a while in tidal waters
Ere we ascend to breeding quarters
While waiting here to go up stream
The banks with different anglers TEEN.
There's Honest john with big chunks of roe
Who causes deal of woe;
Snake em-out'' Frank. with his shirt of
leather,
The truth to tell, which he can't do,
He captures of us quite a few.
And Michael the SCRIBE skilful with rod as
Takes many Of us home to his little den.
Charles Kate and Precht sling spoons with
And at that game are two of the best.
The spoon fools US from morning till night,
And we. poor souls. can't help but to bite.
Then Otto. with Dckie boy and sugar-cured
quite often proves our mortal foe.
Sweet-voiced Ben with millions OF dies
Our patience very sorely tries.
Doc W. with his shiney pate,
Who fishes with science and scorns to use bait
There's June Bug" too, with his ''maiI'
friend.
AL Louis and others without end.
All in all our rest proves not of the best.
At last there comes a welcome rain
And soon we head up stream again;
We travel miles above North Bend
And still troubles do not end;
The fish laws should protect,
When the poacher wants fish to eat or sell
He says game laws can go to -!
And then with ruthless tread
He walks all our spawning-bed
At night with lantern and wicked leer
He captures us with his cruel spear.
We have rest by day or night
And soon are in a sorry plight;
We look as though we'd been the rack
And now they call us the Razor Back
Our fins and tails are worn to shred
Oh, that we were back in old oceans bedt
At last our labors come to an end
And tail foremost we the stream descend:
A few of us only reach the white House. SO
dear.
And from there TO the ocean they say is quite
clear.
We are safe again home.
Though a hard chase we've been led,
And there ends the song of the Point Reyes
steelhead.

WAITER FOR WEST SIDE.
Recent Leak Suggests the Necessity
of Another Main.

At meeting of the water board yester-
terday Secretary Gaulfeld was directed
to draw new checks in place Of those
issued on the Germania bank and which
were not paid when the bank closed
The face value of the checks was $21024.
A petition for a water main on Park ave
nue., between University and Sherburne
avenues, was referred to the president,
and superintendent.
A four-inch service main was ordered
laid to connect with st Thomas college.
Superintendent Starkey reported that the
leak in the main which supplies the West
Side with water had been located 1t
was found to be near the joint of ball
Joint and while temporarily 1t was re-
paired with q plug and calking a cast
ing vail have to bc made and put on to
make the repair permanent. Superinten-
dent Starkey brought before the board
the necessity of having another main
connected with the West Side. 1t has
been recommended that the second main
for the Sixth ward be secured by contn-
uing the main from the foot of Chestnut
street across the river. Owing to the
trouble and expense in repairs whenever
a leak occurs in a main underneath
the water, President Wolterstorff has
suggested that the new main to the West
Side be carried underneath the Waba-
sha street structure The matter will
be discussed and probably acted upon at
the next meeting Of the board.
