INVESTIGATING DAMAGE.
Official Intimates That the q. P.
Will Sue Citv.

s. j. Peterson, claim agent Of the
Union Pacific, was here last Monday
gathering data in regard to the dam.
age by fire to property in the vicinity
of the City mills ruins. The amount
of damage to these properties has not
been settled yet.
A number o. rumors were circu-
lated freely Yesterday concerning the
outcome Of the City mills fire. These
undoubtedly got their origin from the
presence of Mr.. Peterson and a U. P.
water service man. One rumor was
to the effect that these men were
here testing the water pressure
to ascertain whether the city water
service was adequate to the demand
made upon it at this fire. The Union
Pacific owns the Pacific hotel build
ings and the water service man was
testing the hotel hose, hence the
rumor. A Union Pacific official Is
credited with dropping the remark
that iithe railroad is compelled to pay
the damages to the properties near the
mill, the city eventually will pay for
it in taxes, intimating that suit will
be brought against the city by the
railroad.

FISH CAR NO. 2.
Distributing Black Bass in Dickinson
County.


Distributing car No, 2, Of the U.
S. fish commission is here delivering
breeding fish, mostly black bass, to
those who have made application to
the commissioner. Captain W. E.
Smith is in charge of the car and is
assisted by a messenger, assistant
messenger, laborer and cook. The
car is a model for conveniences. 1t
is supplied with an engine which
pumps air into the fish tanks, kit
chen, lockers, berths, wash rooms,
Offices, etc.
The government has five Of these
cars on the road all the time and they
travel in all parts Of the country.
Fish Of all the useful species are sup.
piled to the cars from thirty.eigh.
fish hatcheries located in different
sections.
The men who are in charge Of car
No. 2 say that many people have a
mistaken idea in regard to the dis
tribution OF these fish. Those desir-
ing fish for breeding purposes and for
stocking preserves must make appli-
cation TO the U. S. fish commissioner
and have their application endorsed
by the member Of congress from the
district in which the applicant resides.

New-York tribune., 1901-05-25

Volumes have been written each Of the
sports briefly treated in this little book. and
Mr. Paret is far from putting 1t forward as
anything but collection of lessons for begin
ners. made simple. direct and as ele-
mentary as possible. He has discerned in the
great library OF sporting treatises lack Of
guidance specially adapted for women, which
he has attempted to supply. "Women's faults
are not always mems faults he observes truly.
and he has aimed to give his instruction from
this point of view Within the limits he has
set for himself 1t would have been impossible
to impart more than few Of the necessary ele
mentary hints for beginners on the variety of
subjects treated. It must be said that while
Mr.. Paret has not gone deeply into the
quirements of the sports he discusses, he has
succeeded in giving much useful advice and
has written in a suggestive and attractive man.
that makes his book of real value. Giving
little. he has made almost everything he does
give significant. He treats OF golf. lawn tennis,
catboat sailing, swimming bicycling. basketball
and physical exercise and development in gen.
eral. He has also added chapter mems
sports from woman's viewpoint" for the poor
woman who has not the courage to confess her
ignorance on the field or whose escort has not
the patience TO explain.
Mr.. Paret is careful to inculcate moderation
in all things, especially in the more active
sports, such lawn tennis While this is
Of the best forms Of physical exercise no
woman ought TO play tennis much until she IS
thoroughly satisfied that her heart is in no way
affected" Nor tournament play be much
recommended for women, since a long match
in hot weather is often a severe strain. So too.
in bicycling is moderation a necessity as are
properly adjusted saddle and handlebars AMI
in every sport a loose free costume; though II ls
only with a certain hopelessness that Mr Paret
discountenances the use of corsets. Basketball
Is one Of the most valuable games for young
women, being almost the only one Of the team
games played by men that is available for them
most profitable things for young college women
to learn, though one of the most difficult: and
IT is sad to learn that experienced teachers of
the game have found that the spirit of mutual
assistance. Of sticking together" is one Of the
qualities most notably lacY,n in the sex:
They learn the individual plays quickly and
soon become proficient in handling the ball: but
the idea of not trying for difficult goal ones
self when a nearby team mate would have
better chance of scoring if the ball were passed
TO her, seems absolutely new to most young col
lege girls.
The hints contained in the chapters on sailing
will be found particularly useful to women who
have not been much considered in this branch
of sport; and the chapter on physical develop
ment has many points Of value judiciously and
temperately put
