FISHING FOR TUNA
PAsTIME on - FAoIFlo ooAsr
An Exclusive Club az Avalon Of which
only Pisoatoriai Experts Can Become
Members,

In order to hear really big fish stories
one should visit Avalon, tile pictur-
esQue summer resort on Catalina is
land, Off the southern coast of Califor-
min. The excitements Of life here are
divided between playing golf and
catching tuna.
1t IS difficult to tell which is the more
laborious occupation. The golf links
are said to be the best and therefore.
the most difficult, and the tuna is hard
TO catch. IL Is very gamey, deep-wa-
ter fish which attalns great size, ana to
catch one Is n great honor, usually well
earned. They are good to eat, ana en-
thusiastic fishermen enjoy catching
them, but the chief incentive lies In
the fact that a tuna caught ia accord
ance with the rules is the only creden-
tails that admit a manor woman-to
coveted membership in the Tuna
Club. The fish must be caught with
the rod and reel after the approved
fashion, and at the end Of each season
q prize Is given to the member who
has taken the largest one. The club
winds up the season with a big ban
quet and has a great jubilation over
the seasons sport.
The largest tuna ever caught weighed
260 pounds. and the smallest weighed
forty pounds.
The usual method employed is to en-
plOy two men with a launch and a
skin. After the fish has been hooked
the fisherman jumps into the skih with
an Oarsman whose business it is to fol-
low the fish in his mad rushes in or
der to prevent the breaking of the line,
which is not Of large size. The task
Of firing out such a big fish is a long
one, and the record of the club shows
that it has required in one case four
teen hours. A Colorado fisherman
who has played a mountain trout can
perhaps imagine the amount of endur-
ance and pluck needed by the fisher
man who hooks a tuna. OF course a
big fish often gets away after being
played for several hours. The fact
that the cost Of the two men with their
boats is 81 per day is an indication of
the expensiveness Of this sport.
Wealthy men do not, however, appear
to mind this. One gentleman reported
that his 2OO-pound una finally cost
him $40 a pound, or $1,000. 1t took this
gentleman three years to catch his fish
and he came across the United States
each year until he succeeded.
These are some Of A~avalOn's fish
stories, and there are others"

The need of some device which will

Who Are Entitled to Vote.

The following, taken from the Code,
shows who are entitled to vote in this
State. It will be well to keep this
section of the law in your scrap-book
for reference. Chapter 8, Section l6,
Of the Code, says
The male citizens Of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held
within the magistcrlal districts Of the
counties in which they respectively re-
side, but no person who is a minor, or
Of unsound mind, or pauper, or who IS
under conviction of treason, felony or
bribery in an election, or who has not
been resident of the State for one year,
and of the county in which he offers to
vote for GO days next preceding such
election. and who is not at the time Of
the election an actual bona fde resident
of the district in which he offers to vote,
shall be permitted to vote at such cleo
ton. while such disability continues,
and no person in the military, marine or
naval service of the United States shall
be deemed resident of the State by
reason of his being stationed therein 4;
nor shall any person in the employ Of
any incorporated company Of this State,
be deemed a resident Of any county, or
of any district therein. by reason Of
being employed in said county or dis
trict.

A GENTLE HINT.

We have mailed to a number of oul
subscribers this week a statement Of
account. We hope that every one who
receives a statement will promptly re-
NIT the amount due. At the small
sum of a dollar year for subscription
We can't afford to spend much money
collecting.
We wish all subscribers who are in
arrears, whether they have received a
bill or not, to pay up, A bill of a
dollar or few dollars is insignificant
of itself, but thousand of them mean
much in the aggregate.
Subscribers of the Independent
whose names were transferred to the
REGISTERS list are again reminded
that their year is up, and prompt pay
meat will please the printer.
Let everybody pay up.
