FISHING IN FORMOoA.
Their Rods superb. but Their Hooks
Are without Barbs

Three OF us, two Americans and one
Japanese. started out in jinrikishas
from Taipeh. the modern capital Of
FormOSa. or Taiwan. to 90 to the house
of a wealthy gentleman about eight
miles UP the river which runs through
the valley of Taipeh. The way led
through a beautiful and fertile country,
the valley covered with the second crop
Of rice and the hills with the famous
FormoSa tea shrub. After luncheon
and after .photographing some head
hunting savages we found there we
proposed to fish for salmon trout at an
altitude less than $50 feet above sea
level and in latitude about n degrees
40 minutes north, practically in the
tropics. The temperature of the stream
was about 70 degrees or higher and the
water was well aerated. This stream.
from 60 to 100 yards wide, is clear and
full of rapids and rifles.
We used Japanese tackle-horsehair
line and horsehair leader, the latter
consisting of one strand only; bamboo
rod and most delicate palmer tied on
a small barbless hook. The rod is de-
cidedly good and, weight for weight,
is stronger and better caster than
our jointed rod. 1t rarely weighs over
four ounces (mine weighed about two),
but the line is practically worthless for
casting as we understand the term
The ny is perfect, but the hook lacks
strength, and the fish when hooked
may easily detach himself in a current
or an eddy or by fouling the line. We
all know how it is done from our expe-
rience with pin hook and thread in
the brooks at home.
The Japanese, however, have another
method of fishing which may be as new
to some of our readers as it was to me.
It is quite successful. They catch one
fish in any way they can and then
fasten the line securely through it's
upper jaw, passing it through the roof
of the mouth and out at the top of the
upper jaw we'll in front of the eyes
and then attach through the body Of
the fish not far in front of the tail q
horsehair to which is tied a three
pronged barbless hook; which trails in
line with the fish and few inches be-
hind while it is slowly worked up the
stream by the fisherman. The theory
is that other fishes seeing the captive
movingsalong as though feeding or per-
haps spawning, will pursue it and be-
come impaled on the hooks. InARoint
of fact that does happen, as / saw a
Chinaman take two fine trout in this
manner.
Our success with the flies was poor.
We got thirteen or fourteen fingerlings,
but we saw the fish we wished to iden-
tify caught in fairly good numbers by
the Chinese fishing with decoys.-For-
est and Stream.

THE MARKET REPORT
Great Operations in Grain Send the Prices
Upward-May Wheat Is
Boosted 2 Cents.

Chicago, Feb. A.
There was another speculative cy-
clone in the grain pits on change at
opening today. The twist which was
given to wheat landed the May price
nearly 2 cents higher on first trades.
Almost lis great whirl occurred in
corn, where the May price was lifted
IL cents. May oats bad sudden adj
vance of ] cent.
A somewhat steadier tone then de-
veloped, while trading became COM
paratively quiet. AS the day advanced
prices gradually settled under a heavy
load of liquidation. A resumption OF
activity occurred late in the day on
fresh rumors of war. Some of the
early short sellers endeavored to buy
their wheat back, but offerings We're
small. Prices again started upward,
and had nearly regained the high
prices at the close.
AS before, the great force was not
due to fresh news of natural infiu-
Cnces. The speculative situation is
ngesreG-enormous lines held by big
people and the effort of previous short
sellers to get out keep SHOOTING prices
high
The almost complete lack of mois-
ture is the feature of the weather map
this morning There is a trace OF snow
at Chicago and a few traces in the
Ohio valley. There is absolutely no
precipitation in the southwest, where
it is so much needed. The tempera-
lures are low.
Northwest wheat receipts were 237
cars. against 345 same day last year
Local grain receipts were 20 cars OF
wheat. 240 corn, 10 oats.

A certain element in the state i

A certain element in the state is
seeking to discredit Mr.. Luse of
Superior in his candidacy for the
supreme bench, on the ground that
he is supported by a certain wing
of the Republican party. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Mr.. Luse has held but two political
offices, that of member Of the assem-
bly, and that of assistant attorney
general of the state. He has entire
ly eschewed politics since he retired
from that Office in the summer of
1895. His opponent on the other
hand is high in the councils Of the
present administration, and was a
delegate to the Republican state
convention of 1902, being a member
of the resolutions committee. He
has received preferment at the
hands of the present executive in the
position of member of the board of
university regents.

Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
