ANGLERS WE'RE FOOLED.
False Reports From Russian River
Caught a Number of Gullibles.

The recent report from the Russian
River that good steelhead fishing awaited
the anglers of this city has proven to be
a very false rurnor. However, q number
Of enthusiastic anglers rushed to Duncans
Mills last Saturday and Sunday antfcipat-
ing royal sport and also the pleasure of
surprising their friends with fresh run
fishes" on their return home But the
gullibles who ravenously bit at the false
reports that were dispatched last week
from Russian River returned, of course,
sadder and wiser men.
OF the fifteen trollers who fshed dill
gently on Saturday and Sunday, not a
single man hooked a fish or saw a scale;
in fact there was not a fish TO be caught,
as the large steelheads assembled the
stream during the freShet of a few weeks
ago, leaving only.a few struggling young
sters of three. or four pounds in weight,
which are now. working up the river in
quest of the eggs of the larger fishes. "A
few spent fishes were taken last week by
Messrs. Cross and Wilson, and their cap
ture gave rise to the report that-a fresh
run Of steelheads was on the way. =.
The outlook for steelhead fishing on
Russian River this season is, indeed, very
poor Still, if there should be among the
angling fraternity any member who is de-
sirous of an outing, the trip to Duncans
Mills is assuredly pleasant because of the
many changes of beautiful scenery en-
route. The boating on the river is very
enjoyable allowing that pleasure seeker
is provided with his own boat, otherwise
he must pay handsomely for hired craft.

the transaction of business in connec-
ton with the absorption of the Valley
road and for the acquiring of proper
terminal facilities. 1t is said that when
Vice President Morton appears on the
scene something definite will occur
In the meanwhile the officials are look

oughly familiarize themselves with all the
details of the Santa Fe's new acquisi-
rion. AS one of them puts it,. Things
will become very warm here in the course
of five months" but whether this applies
to the weather or to railroad affairs has
not been made clear.

Of the contemplated amendment.
Resolved, Secondly, that we do favor the
exemptions of all such schools from taxation

1t was apropos of an appeal made by DR..
9. W. White. president of the Southern
Sacramento during the past few days in
the interest of the amendment to the con-
stitution introduced by Cobb of San Fran
cisco, eXempting schools and colleges from
taxation.
DR.. White, in an address, stated that
the bill had been reported back to both
houses without recommendation by the

associates in Washington, have decided
to go to Montreal, and will leave on this

appreciates it. When the news of their
countrymen' outbreak against the Amer

as to the result of their visit, but their
fears in that regard have proven ground
less, and they will leave with a deep

the Occidental. In conversation Rivera
said that it was their intention to confer
in Montreal with their self-exiled COM
panions and Agoncillo and endeavor to
prevail upon them to return to Wash
fngton for the purpose of carrying out
the mission for which they were origi-
nally sent. They are quite positive that
after calm reasoning the others will see
