ROOSEVELT TROUT
GOLDEN SPECIMEN
Volcano Creek Fish to Be
PrOpagated.
MAY FLOURISH ELSEWHERE
Mt. Whitney Military Reservation May
Be Extended in Order to Protect
Presidents Piscatorial Namesake.

President Roosevelt has had a fish
one Of the handsomest inhabitants OF
the creeks and rivers Of the whole coun-
try-named in his honor. The first is a
golden trout. a foot in length, a para
gon of strength and beauty. having its
habitat in one small creek. tributary
TO Kern river. in the California Sierras.
Found in Volcano Creek.
The little stream where the Roosevelt
trout is found is known as Volcano
creek. There is something appropriate
in the very name.
Steps will be taken to propagate the
fish. for it is believed it will flourish in
the waters of mountain streams in var
ious sections of the country. Experts
are convinced that in the Adirondacks,
for example it would be delighted.
Salmo roosevelt (to give to- the fish
its proper scientific name) is a golden
trout When il jumps out OF the water
in the sunshine. it looks as II IL were
literally made Of gold. On the back 1t is
of light yellowish olive color, but the
lower sides and belly are a bright golden
yellow. and along the middle OF each
side runs a rosy band. The gills are
rosy and so likewise are the fins. except
the back fin. which. as well as the tail,
are olive and yellow mottled with black
spots.
Tried Hatching Eggs.
In May OF last year the Bureau Of
Fisheries attempted 20 establish a tenn
porary Matching station on Volcano
creek, 10 take eggs Of the Roosevelt
trout but the spawning season was
practically over before the necessary
apparatus could be installed. and so the
enterprise was postponed for the time
being. Two hundred and siXty-four of
the trout were captured alive and car
ried on pack animals 10 Lone Pine.
whence they were shipped in care OF a
special messenger. TO Portland. Owing
TO a mishap. the entire lot was lost on
the trip, but the FISH are hardy and
stand transportation well. so that there
ought to be no difficulty in shipping
them even to distant points. where they
may be wanted for breeding.
For the protection of the fish. the
President has been asked 10 extend the
limits of the Mt. Whitney military reser-
walton so as to include the whole Of
Volcano creek If this is done. any re
quisite regulations in regard to fishing
can be enforced

ANOTHER SENSATION.
Boise Authorities Fear Because OF
Powder Robberies.

Another sensation, which many as
sert has connection with the Steunen-
berg murder case, was brought out
Saturday at Boise, Idaho. During the
evening the powder house of the East
man-Teller Hardware company was
broken into and considerable quantl-
ty of No. / giant powder taken. The
robbers did not break open the door,
but dug a hole through the back wall,
replacing the stones after taking the
powder. 1t is reported 400 pounds
were taken, but the company does not
think it nearly SO much. The powder
house of the Idaho Hardware and
Plumbing company was also broken
open. but members Of the company re-
fuse to state whether anything was
taken. An attempt was also made TO
open the house Of the Carlson-Lusk
company. Theft of the powder gives
rise to no little apprehension. The
suggestiveness of the theft is empha-
sized by knowledge of the fact that
MANY of the worst characters of the

MOROCCO TROUBLES
fRANCE,,AND GERMANY PROBABLY
WILL AGREE TO AGREE.
1t Is Said Both Sides Would Make Con-
cessions as to Reforms in Morocco
Paris EIated over First Ballot Be-
fore TribunaI-Most of Europe on
Side of France.

Algeciras, March 5.-One Of the dele
gates having a most vital interest in
the conference on Moroccan reforms,
says that a settlement of the contrO-
versy between France and Germany
now seemed possible, but he declined
to make known the lines the arrange
msnt would take. However, the trend
of recent events has indicated that If
any settlement is reached, it would
likely be because France would make
concessions with refernce to the bank
question, and Germany in return would
adopt a less Incorporating attitude
concerning the police.
The voting at Algeciras Saturday on
the proposition of Sir Arthur Nichol-
son, chief of the British delegation, to
proceed to the immediate discussion Of
the Moroccan police question gives
great satisfaction in Paris, chiefly be-
cause France has ranged with her

Germany is among the small minority

themselves with sufficient precision to

nails give the division in the form of a

being France, Great Britain, Russia,
Spain, Portugal, the United States,
Italy and Holland, and the negative
