CURLY BILL PASSES AWAY.
Noted California Stage Driver Dies at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.--William Ger
hardt, aged 76, the famous pioneer
stage driver, who received the nick
name of Curly Bill" from Mark
Twain during the palmy days Of Viz
ginIa City, New, has just died from
heart failure. In the palmy days OF
the Comstock when such men as John
Mackay, James G. Fair and others
were laying the foundations of their
fortunes, there was no more widely
known whip" than "Curly Bill" Be-
fore the Central Pacific was built he
drove stage coaches for the California
Stage Company between Sacramento
and Nevada City, Cal, Reno and Car
son and Virginia City, New. He was a
side partner of Hank Monk, another
driver made famous by Mark Twain
and Horace Greedy.

entists have made myriads Of meas-
urements OF the stature OF man. ana
some Of them are quoted by Fleet sur
geon Williams In the annual report on
the health OF the navy just issued.
TO begin with. the boy when born IN
about half an inch taller than the girl.
This difference is maintained until
near the age OF 10. when. In this coun-
try and America. the average girl is

AT the period OF full development the
mans average height. compared with
the woman's average IL as ie to is.
Both men and women maintain their
maximum height until the age OF 80
years, when they begin to grow shorter.
until at 80 they have lost three inches.
The reason for this dwindling Is at
tributed TO the shrinking OF the softl
parts between the bones and to the
stoop gradually acquired by old peo-
pie.

BARBER LAW Is NOT VOID.
Supreme Court Of Oregon Says Meas
ura Ia Constitutional

uFG ~ NVUSttNhhtoHNh
The supreme court OF oregon has re-
versed the decision of Judge George
OF Multnomah county in what is known
as the famous barber case brought by
the board OF barber examiners against
III. l.. Briggs. The defendant was con-
victed for conducting barber shop
in violation OF the existing law regu-
lating the trade or calling of barber,
and providing for the licensing OF per-
sons carrying on such trade.
Judgment was arrested by trial
court holding the act unconstitutional.
The law is held constitutional in the
higher court. because when II comes
from the legislature a law must be
complete, but there are many matters
relating to methods of procedure which
the legislature may have properly del
egated to some ministerial board or
officer and prescribing the qualifica-
tions of persons woh shall be licensed
to follow or engage in the practice of
a given trade or profession is one OF
them.
Therefore It is held that power was
not vested In the board to Issue and
withhold licenses arbitrarily and at
their pleasure, and that the legislature
did not vest in another body the power
to create or in any way change the
law such as should be done by the law
making body. except to create neces-
sary rules and bylaws"

HEAVENS! MOST OF US ARE
CERTAINLY DEGENERATES

Chicago. Aug. ALT one has dozen
marks of degcneracy he might as well
prepare for the iunatIc asylum and II
he has as many as Is the chances are
that he win spend the majority OF his
days behind prison bars, according to
Professor Frederick Starr OF the unia
versity OF Chicago. Professor Starr
says that he never has found a per.
feet man. or perfect woman either
for that matter. and he declares that
anyone who has as many as dozen
marks OF degeneracy IL hopeless
case.
The Chicago anthropologIs, was dis
cusslng marks OF degeneracy 10 his
class In elementary anlhropology at
the university when he gave out n list
OF marks that should designate one as
a degenerate.
His list included parting the hair In
the middle or on the right side. bald
ness, gray hairs before the age OF %.
stub nose. bat ears. small lobes on the
ears. recedlng chin. protruding lips.
left handedness. cross eyes. fondnesa
for jewelry for hand year by men. red
hair for most people tthe professor
said that the Irish were entitled TO the
privilege OF having red hair without
being degeneratesl, blonde hair Tex
cept with the swedes). teeth wide
apart. pigeon toes knock knees and
many similar blemIshes which are
booked BY the Midway sage as marks
Of degeneracy.

ity, but when it is thick and firm the
quality is excellent All of the fish
delivered yesterday were thick-bellied.
and cold storage man said he had
never seen finer salmon.
..The salmon win unquestionably be
of first-class quality right up to the
end OF the season." said the dealer to
whom the press representative talked.
The muddy water kept the fish out
side, and the season has been generally
backward. 1t is my opinion that first
class fish win continue to run after
August is. 1t win be observed that the
salmon are not yet ready to proceed
to the spawning grounds. The eggs In
the fish are far from developed. and In
almost every respect the salmon re-
semble those usually taken in May
and June. Ordinarily at this time Of
the year the spawn is quite ripe but
this season 1t is not nearly developed.
This is the very best indication that
the quality of the fish will continue
good until after the close of the sea-
son. Indeed, / believe the salmon will
be first-class this year until Septem-
Der 10 or 15."
II the present supply of salmon
should hold out until the end Of the
season the gillnetters viii fare very
well. They have done much better
thus far than the trapmen and seiners.
but are, of course. behind in their earn
ings as compared with those of last
year. A few weeks of good fishing
will net them considerable money how
ever, and the outlook at present Is quite
favorable. The seiners still have a
chance to catch up, after the very
worst kind Of luck.
Every indication Justines the preulc-
ton that there is going to be a record
rush at the end of the season. The
hatchery run is bound to come within
short time. and it will last for two
weeks or more. When it does make
its appearance the canneries and cold
storages will doubtless be blocked.
There has been no decrease in the
price Of fish thus far. Six cents a
pound is being paid for the large fish
and 5 cents for smaller fish. The
salmon are unusually large and the
higher price is being realized for the
biggest portion of the catches of the
gillnetters.

RUN OF FISH
IS IMPROVED
Receipts Of Salmon Yesterday We're
Satisfactory TO Packers and
Fishermen Alike.
QUALITY WAS NEVER BETTER
Hatchery Run Has Not Yet Put
in an Appearance, but is
Expected to Arrive
Shortly.

There was a decided Improvement
in the run of salmon yesterday. and
receipts were gratifyingly heavy. The
packing houses were not blocked, but
the inside forces were kept busily en-
gagged during the day. The receipts
were Just about great enough to justi-
fy uninterrupted operations, and pack
ers and fishermen were highly pleased.
Last evening hundreds of boats
could be seen sailing in northeasterly
direction from the city. Looking in
the direction of Grays river one could
see many white sails. and some wonder
was expressed that all the boats should
be bound in that direction. Fishermen
stated that the fish were all above the
city, explaining the action of the fish,
ermen. The lower harbor receipts,
heretofore excellent. fell off yesterday.
and there was corresponding increase
from up-river points.
above the city made good hauls for the
first time during the season. They had
experienced long streak of hard luck,
but things are evidently coming their
way at last Practically all of the fish
received were sent down from points
above Astoria, and the gillnetters like
wise made their big hauls above.
1t was stated yesterday that "tules"
had made their appearance in the river,
and 1t was argued from this that the
quality of fish would deteriorate from
this time forward. A representative
of The Astorian visited several of the
canneries and cold-storages and was
unable to find single "tule" in more
than 100 tons of fish. All of the pack
ers and cold-storage men assured him
that they had not received any ''tules"
as yet. One of the best-posted cold
storage men, discussing the fishing sit
uation, said:
"The absence of 'tules' is proof posi-
tive that a big run of fish is coming.
The tules' always come before the
heavy run enters the river. and their
absence thus far indicates that the
present improved supply is not the run
for which we have SO anxiously been
waiting. We have had no tules' yet;
the salmon are all fine chinooks."
The fish which are being taken at
present are wonderfully fine in quality.
A sure sign of fine fish is the condition
of the salmon's belly. When 1t is thin
and soft the fish is not of good quail
