Why Not Try Fish Culture

Through the efforts of deputy
game Warden Harbaugh quite a
number of persons in and near
Lewiston are making application
to the U. S. fish commission at
Washington for enough eastern
brook trout to stock all the small
streams in Nezperce and Asotin
counties. All that is required
after the application is made is
for the applicant to meet the fish
at the railroad and plant them in
the streams selected. The west
ern trout is a migratory fish and
goes from place to place but the
eastern trout stays in the stream
where it is planted. Expert
ments made with these fish have
proved very satisfactory and it
is stated that the trout soon
reach from Il to b pounds IN
weight and in lakes often reach
20 pounds in size. We believe it
would be good scheme to
secure some of these fish to stock
Idaho county streams as in a
couple years after placed in the
streams they would provide ex-
cellent sport for local fishermen.
If no streams are handy plenty
of small ponds could be con-
structed on the mountain by
building small dams across creeks
and flooding a few acres of waste
land and in these ponds the fish
would do fully as we'll as in the
creeks while the owner could
have the fish ready for catch
ing at a moments notice. It
is worth giving a trial at least.

Two residents Of Ilo, one a
justice of the peace, were shot
and wounded by a Dago rail-
roader in a saloon as a result of
a row precipitated over the two
men singing Everybody Works
but Father" It seems that a
bunch of the railroaders had
come to town and got pretty full
and when the two citizens, Frank
Gales and Charles Swendich,
entered the saloon and commenc-
ed singing the popular song the
drunken Dagoes, who could not
understand anything but
father" thought they were
making fun of the holy father
and started a row. One was
knocked down and as the fight
spread onto the street one Dago
drew a gun and fired, breaking
Swendich's left arm and Gales
collar bone and put a hole
through his hat. The trouble
caused quite an excitement and
it is quite probable the wounded
men will be more careful where
they air their abilities next time.

The breaking of a dam from

caused a flood of water to strike

SILvEIRA NOT ON BOARD.
Prinz Fredrik Hendrix Arrives Without
Havana Banker-May Be on Red Liner.

it was believed Manuel Silvera, the Cuban
banker, who, It is said. is embezzler of
81, 600, ,O00 had taken passage from Puerto Ca
bello, Venezuela, arrived here yesterday, but
Silvera not on board. There was report
that he was among the passengers, but the
Pinkerton detective agency, which is watching
for silveira IN the interests of J. NJ. Ceballos
& Co., of this city. whose funds the missing
man is charged with misappropriating, said
last night that 1t had heard nothing Of his
arrival
Silveira was known to have sailed on the
steamer Carmelina. from Curacao for Puerto
Cabello, on October 8. and it was nothing more
than conjecture that he had there boarded
the PrinZ Fredrik Hendrix for New York
Close watch is being kept for the arrival of
the Red D steamer Philadelphia, due in this
port from Venezuela tomorrow While there is
no definite information that Siveira is on board
the Pinkertons apparently think 1t worth while
to be on the pier when the Philadelphia arrives

Silveira left Havana with $500 600 Mr. Sherman
safd was greatly exaggerated. He said that Sill
veira did owe, perhaps, that much money a
part of which ]. NJ Ceballos & Co. would prob
ably have to meet.

Steamship El Dorado Brings Ell

In the face of one of the fercest storms that

work to a close when FL Vale cast off her tow

two hours sleep day since October II. when

at half a million dollars Twice on the trip Ell

On October IL. with this rudder she started

even then steering was the slowest kind of work
The voyage would have been difficult under ordi-

heavy seas FL Dorado managed TO hold her tow
for several days without a mishap. At times
however, she was forced to slow down to almost
no speed but she still clung to the tow lines
The first dangerous mishap occurred late on
