SPIRITED COMPETITION.
New Firms Seek TO secure Contraets
for the Building of
Warshtpa.

The monopoly of constructing war
ships of the largest type. hitherto ea-
joyed by three concerns in this cora-
try. promises to be invaded by four or
FIVE firms, which have expressed
great desire to make proposals for fhe
construction Of the vessels. bids for
which will be opened on December G.
The three firms winch have always
bid upon this work are the Union iron
works. Of San Francisco: the Tra;rp
Building and Dry Dock company. of
Philadelphia, and the Newport Nrr's
(ys.) Shipbuilding company II naw
appears that these firms will have rs
rivals the Fore River Shirbuldirg
company. of Weymouth, s,tass.; Toma-
send e. Downey. OF New York: The
New York Shipbuilding company. of
New York city; the Trigg Engine and
Shipbuilding company, of Richmond.
Va, and the Risdon iron works. OF
San Francisco. The appearance Of
the latter firm in the list OF comyet-
itors is something of a surprise. II
will make It interesting for the Urion

petitors in the race for naval con-
tracts covering large ships on the Pa

If a Bass Bites.
Game Warden Fullerton Tells What to do in
That Case.

Game Warden Fullerton has ruled that
If bass swallows hook during the
closed season the angler may keep the
tish on reporting its capture to the game
warden. He says 1t is not the sportsman's
fault if the fish bites the hook and swaI-
lows it. If the fish does not swallow the
hook, it is to be returned to the water.
The state fish hatchery is now supply
ing lakes and streams with millions of
small fish and spawn, the winter having
been very favorable for the propagation
Of the young. Fishermen say that angle
worms, IN the spring, are much more eff
fective bait than the fly commonly used
in trout fishing.
Up to the last of June the bass will
be found along shore among the reeds
IN the shallow water, where they spawn
ahSA IeSA III luC SuuSillut. LdCC III Lie
season they glide into the deeper waters
after minnows.
Srhe distinctions to be made between
the different kinds of bass are proving
very interesting to anglers. The law
says specifically that black, gray or Os-
wego bass shall not be hooked before
June /. The crappie Is held by many to
be a species of bass, though it is known
as the "strawberry bass Rock bass are
not defined but are generally conceded
to be bass, though many consider them
kind of sunish. The gray bass, to which
the lsw refers, are the genuine small
mouth bass. The Oswego bass are of the
big mouth family, but both are common
ly called black bass. These are the fish
which cannot be caught before June l.
Again, while no person is permitted
to sell or have in his possession bass or
brook trout previous to January, 1902,
a person Is allowed to catch not more
than tifty per day.

Government Telegraphs and Phones.

Government Telegraphs and Phones.
1t is reported that Canada is about to
follow the example of Great Britain and
undertake the control of the telegraph
and telephone service within her borders.
Great Britain purchased her telegraph
lines in 1870, thus creating an addition
to the national debt. Much money has
been spent in improving the service and
the interest on the debt amounts to
something like $1,4OO,OOO a year. The
receipts of the system in 1899 were near
ly S15,0oO,oO0 and the expense OF the
service were nearly $1,000,000 in excess
of that amount. This deficit is better
understood when 1t is explained that
83,929,999 messages were sent, for the
$15,000,O00. The price of service is re-
markably low as compared with rates in
tlis country. An increase of 2 cents
message on the above rates would have
afforded a profit above all expenses.
Germany owns her telegraph system,
which covers 87,513 miles and employs
336,434 miles of wire. The profits of
operation in 1899 amounted to 39,765,-
026 marks, or nearly $10,000,000. In
Germany the government has adopted a
policy of making the service pay for it
self. France operates hel postal and
telegraph service under one control.
The joint profits of the service in 1899,
were nearly s1O,ooo.0oO. There are
many arguments for as well as against
national control of such communications
and Canada will have an opportunity to
demonstrate the practicabillty of the
plan in sparsely settled country.
