and the other to a former convict.
What makes The wealth of the mana
gers of the fisheries is, above all. the
herrings. Had the Japanese been com
PEELED 10 give up abruptly the fishing
of the Sakhalien salmon the conse.
quenees would have been very unfor-
tunate, but the loss of the right of her
ring fishing would have been almost
disastrous to them, and The stroke to
the japanese industries would have
been real calamity. In such case the
most important Hakodate firms. and
even those of the whole of the Yeso
Island, would be ruined, and the whole
of Japan would suffer very grave
economic crisis.
1t can be said that from their ar
rival in the Sakhalien Island the Jap
anese viii modify entirely its charac-
ter and its aspect. These little men,
merry and Industrious. form striking
contrast with the natives and convicts
around them and one hears people
who laugh heartily in that convict
laden atmosphere. 1t is amusing TO
see the Japanese fishermen, who cour-
aseously run TO and fro with naked
legs in the icy streams of the sakhalien
seas rs they sing some popular chorus
They are not well paid, but japanese
have few needs. and know how toflive
comfortably with little money. All the
managers of the fisheries turn their
attention 10 the herring. and only n
few occupy themselves with whales.
The whales which appear near the
coasts of the island are small and are
seen in great numbers in the Bay of
korsakovsk. As the Japanese fisher
men, numerous as they are, cannot
properly cope with the fishing of the
herring, great numhes of natives are
engaged as extra hands, and the man
ayers Of the fisheries find this adyan-
tageous. for the natives are easily ex-
plotted or duped. and it is not expen-
siye to feed them. As general rule
they are paid in kind. receiving a small
part of the fish they have caught, some
rice. clothing some thread and needles.
With the promise of glass of rice
brandy they are willing TO work for
many hours. 1t occurs frequently that
these poor creatures are cruelty de-
ceived, for when they have finished
their task they get nothing. Ii is the
employer conviet who takes the fish
away and drinks the eau-de-vie, and
the poor wretch must think himself
lucky if he does not receive blows in

A FAMous ENGINE.

Not long ago Il little old fashioned
switch engine was haulded down tie
main line Of Western railroad to be
thrown into the scrap pile. Dingy,
rusty, worn out. not worth repairing
further. it was yet of sufficient impor-
tance to attract TO station platforms
hundreds of men and women who had
not forgotten the record of Engine 81,
of the Alton" and wanted a last look
at the old machine.
Just third of n century ago "9I"
was the most famous locomotive in
the world. To the bounds of civiiiza-
iton, wherever the telegraph and the
daily news reached, 1t was talked
about, praised, spoken of with the
pride which all the world feels in one
of mans creations which has done a
wonderful thing. And a wonderful
thing "9T" had done for, stopping only
for water. 1t had run for three con-
secntiye hours at speed approximate
ing mile minute, and had even run
long stretches of the way at the then
undreamed of speed of a mile in ifty-
seven seconds.
Chat was in October, 1871. The
engine was in the roundhouse at
Bloomington, Ill. On the previous
night word had reached bloomington
that a great fire was in progress in
Chicago. Early in the morning a
telegram came to the Bloomington
fire department from the mayor of the
burning city. asking for aid. The fire
department called up railway official
and asked for special train.
So '97" was fired up. rolled out to
the main line, coupled to a coach and
fiat car. and sent to Il team track.
There all the fire fighting apparatus
that could be spared was run ON the
fiat car and fastened securely. the fire
men found places in the coach. and

easily away on what was to be the
most famous run Of its life.

| The fish and game law of the Ter
| ritory Will have TO be remodeled by
the next Legislature in order TO make
| it little more liberal As it stands
now John Stroehle and several other
sportsmen are technical violators of it.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Stroehle
and several others Were fishing below
| the city. Mr.. Stroehle was armed with
a fish spear with which he intended
to Violate the law, but lie never got
the chance
While he was wading about in the
water looking for victim monster
| fish rushed by and AR. Stroelile hurled
| his spear and missed The water was
not very deep. and Mr.. Stroehle
| seized the fish by the tail and held on.
Just then n small boy with pitch
fork came splashing through the water
and set mp n claim TO the fish Said
he: Il been chasin' that blamed fish
all afternoon and had him run down
when you ketched him. You couldn't
| never "a done it If he'd been fresh"
The violent and successful seizure of
thai fish by the tail is as technical
violation of the law as If Mr.. Stroehle
had used dynamite, for. according to
the statutes. fish may be taken only
with "a hook and line" Stroehle was
provided with none of these lawful
means of catching fish.
The same day Deputy Sheriff Wayne
Davis was fishing at the same place.
He had hook and line and it was
very nice and expensive line. too nice
TO be spoiled by exposure to wet wealth.
er. Mr.. Davis also had pitchfork.
with which he jabbed at fish, with
the result that the tines of the fork
straddled him and held him down
against the sand until Mr.. Davis could
insert his fingers in the gills and ex-
tract him from the water. Though
the fish was not actually .punctured by
the fork, still here was a violation of
the law. for the hook and line had
played no part in the capture. If Mr.
Davis, after catching the fish had in
serted the hook in his mouth. the form
of the statute would have been COM
piled with.
Soon after that Mr.. Davis caught an
other fish by the simple process of fall
ing on him. The law is silent regard
ing this method OF catching fish. ~out
the act might be brought under the
head of cruelty to animals. The dep
uty sheriff weighs something like $50
pounds.-Arizona Republican.
