PLAN A HATCHERY
FOR STRIPED
BASS.

The striped bass which was intro
6uced TO the California streams eighteen
years ago has become Of such impor-
tsnce as q food fish that the Federal
Bureau Of Fisheries and the State Com
mission are planning to establish hatch
cries TO increase the supply. While the
number OF striped bass has grown TO
large proportions. the demand for the
excellent food nsh has increased faster.
snd IN furtherance OF an important in
dustry the officials are preparing Tor
artificial propagation stations.
During the past week @. H. Lambson.
n charge OF the United States hatchery
stations IN California, and Charles A
Vcgelsang, Chief Deputy OF the Califor-
MA Fish Commission, have been quietly
carrying on Investigations at points
near the mouth Of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers TO ascertain from
tho fishermen and others who have
come in contact with these valuable
food fish the time and place the great
est number OF ripe spawn hsh are
found
A great many striped bass clubs have
been organized IN this State as soon as
s. was known that the striped bass was
e gamey fish; IN other words, he would
AFFORD e great deal OF sport IN his cap
ture with hook and line. Some Of the
most enthusiastic sportsmen claim that
tho fish are growing scarcer. and urge
as a remedy that close season be es-
ts sbnehed during their breeding period
The Fish Commissioners claim that a
close season is impracticable;s that II
the fish are growing scarce-with which
statement they do nor zgree-the better
plan would be TO establish hatchery,
and also raise the weight limit OF fish
tlat can be taken
They argue that IL is not a sports
mans proposition. but an economic one,
affecting a food supply OF the masses;
that II there are plenty OF fish for mar
ket purposes there will be plenty for
the anglers and sportsmen- They fur
ther point out that the spawning season
of the striped bass is at the period when
the run Of salmon is found in our
rivers.
So far as the observations Of Captain
Iambson and Mr.. Vogelsang have gone,
they are Of the opinion that the lower
reaches OF the San Joaquin River. some
where IN the vicinity OF Bouldin Island,

spawn producers at a proper degree OF
ripeness.

TO SAVE NIAGARA
MAYOR TEAGUE WRITES TO sEC-
 RETAHY TAFT.
Holms the American CtvaG Association Ia Protesting f0 Government Against COmmercfmEizatiOn
 of Falls.

At the suggestion of Secretary l.. L Gilbert of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association of Mont gemery, Mayor Teague yesterday wrote a letter of protest to Secretary of War VI. H. Taft against Che admission into the United States of electrical power from Canada that has been generated Rt Niagara Falls.
 Secretary Of War Taft, under the provisions of the Burton Act of Con- gress, ls required to set the amount Of electrical energy that may be admitted to this country from the Canadian side bf Niagara not to exceed & grand total of 500, ,000 horsepower. A hearing for this purpose is to be held by the War Secretary on November 20.
 The movement for the preservation of Niagara Falls in all it's wonder as a place of great scenic beauty has been led by, the American Civic Association of Philadelphia, which wrote Secre- tary Gilbert, suggesting that num- her of protests be sent from Alabama against the commercialization of Amer ica's greatest natural marvel, in all US beauty and majesty.
 It was in response to this suggestion carried on by a letter from Secretary Gilbert. that Mayor Teaeue wrote his protest to the War Secretary, which is in full as follows:
 s'Aaontgomery, Ala, Nov. 18th, 1906. 'sT4on. ". H. Taft, Secretary of War,
 Washington D. C.: l Dear Sir--My attention has been di- reeted to the efforts of the American Civic Association to preserve Niagara Fails from the encroachmentB of pri- vate corporations which are seeking to divert 6 large portion of It's waters for commercial purposes. I am earnestly of the opinion that the campaign con duced by this organization Is worthy one with a most commendable object, and 1t gives me pleasure to add our protest to the volume of adverse senti. ment with which the purpose of those individuals who would detrsct from the beauty and grandeur of this great na' tural wonder Is generally segarded.
 "Yours very truly,
 w. M. Teague,"
 Mayor"
 It Is stated that less than 50,0oo horsepower can be used on the Cana dian side of the Falls ,and that any thing over that quantity that may be generated at Niagara must ind con- sumption in this country.
