THE ROOSEVELT TROUT.
Lives in Volcano Creek and is
Game.

A new species of golden trout, which is
attracting widespread interest among the
officials Of the United States fish commits
sion, has been named for President Roose-
welt in recognition Of his active interest in
fish and game protection.
The Roosevelt trout is said to be the most
beautiful of all trout, the brilliancy and
richness Of its coloring not being equaled in
any other known species. AS a game fish
this specimen, as might be expected, is one
Of the best. 1t will rise to any kind Of a
lure and at any time of day. This fish,
when hooked. puts up the gamest kind of
fight.
The Roosevelt trout is small fish, the
largest one caught as yet being IN inches
in length and ten ounces In weight. 1t Is q
native Of large stream called Volcano
creek, located in the Kern river region Of
the southern part Of the Sierra Nevada
mountains.
In July. 1904, party under the direction
Of Barton w. Evermann Of the bureau Of
fisheries, QUILTED at Redstone Park, CAL,
and started for Volcano creek to study fish,
They found these golden trout in great
numbers along. the entire length Of the
stream, and many specimens were secured.
The fish is said to be native Of Volcano
creek and seldom If ever ventures out into
the Kern river. At least none has ever
been seen there.
About two years ago q party visited Vol
cano creek and in one day caught between
GOO and TOO trout Many other parties camp
there during the year and catch thousands
of the trout.
In order that adequate protection be af-
forded the Roosevelt trout, 1t has been rec
commended that the limits of the Mount
Whitney military reservation be extended
SO as to include the whole Of Volcano
creek. With this done, fishing within the
reservation limits may be prohibited for a
certain period. after which 1t may be per-
mitted under certain restrictions to be
made by the fish commissioners. II these
regulations are adopted, 1t is believed that
the Roosevelt trout will thrive and multi
ply.

TO ELIMINATE BACK STAMP.
Experiment to Be Tried by the Post
Office Department.

An important and interesting experiment
Is being tried by the Post ONCE Depart
ment, with view not only to the saving
of expense. but to the economizing Of time.
1t Is the elimination Of the use OF what
technically is known as the back stamp on
letters. This Is the stamp which indicates
to the recipient Of a letter the precise time
of its arrival in the delivering Office from
the sending point. For about six months
the experiment has been made in the Chi
cago post Office, with very satisfactory re-
suits. The services Of about thirty clerks
have been saved and the time Of the de-
livery Of letter mail to the recipients, from
TIE hour Of its arrival in the Chicago Of
fee, has been reduced from twenty minutes
to two hours. 1t is proposed now to try
the experiment in Washington, New York.
Boston, Jersey City and perhaps in some
other large post offices. If 1t should be as
successful as 1t has been in the Chicago
office the use of the back stamp probably
will be eliminated entirely.
The idea thus Of saving time and expense
is that Of First Assistant Postmaster Gem
eral Frank H. Hitchcock, and It was at his
instance that the pending experiments were
made Thus far mot a complaint has been
received from the Chicago Office about the
leaving or of the back stamp. Post office
officials realize the Importance Of the stamp
at times, but the belief among them Is
growing that the value of the saving of
time and expense in its elimination far out
weighs that Of IT. use.

CAUSE OF THE DELAY
MASTER BUILDERS UNABLE TO
LOCATE ARBITRATOR.

The reports that have been in circulation
to the effect that general strike of the
building trades may be ordered tomorrow
are largely overdrawn, according to a lead
Ing member Of the Master Builders Asso-
citation. who was seen today by a Star re-
porter. 1t is said the causes which 1t was
thought might have brought about such
result will have ceased to exist by noon to-
morrow.
At that hour committee comprising
three members Of the Master Builders As
ISOLATION and the same number of repre-
sentatives of the building trades will hold
a joint meeting. and induce the master
plumbers to name at once the two men,
bers of the arbitration board who are to
represent their side Of the controversy with
the journeymen plumbers
This will, 1t is said, ,obviate any further
difficulty, and the arbitrators will get to-
gether and attempt to settle the vexed
question which has been the cause of all
the trouble in the building trades. and there
will be no continuance Of the strike, as has
been reported.
The delay thus far on the part of the
master plumbers has been due to their ina
bility to reach an attorney who was de-
cided upon by the Master Plumbers AssO-
citation as one of its arbitrator. This law
yer is on a tour distant from this city, and
as he has been constantly on the move the
master plumbers have been unable to reach
him by telegraph. Messages have been sent
to several points along the supposed line
of his trip, but as yet none of them has
apparently reached him, or II they have he
has not responded to them.
Statement by Mr.. Marshall.
Mr.. James L. Marshall, president of the
Master Builders Association, informed a
Star reporter this afternoon that at the
meeting to be held at noon tomorrow an
effort would be made to induce the master
plumbers to select some attorney who is in
the city, provided they have not in the
meantime heard from the lawyer who is on
his travels This will. it is said calm the
troubled waters.
member of the journeymen's union said
the plumbers are anxious to get back to
work after so many weeks idleness owing
to theNlockout For this reason they will
not tolerate any prolonged delay if they
can help it. Consequently they are clamor-
ing for speedy meeting of the board of
arbitration and the master builders have
promised to help them bring about that
result.
Late this afternoon the statement was
made on good authority that the master
plumbers will name their members of the
arbitration board before noon tomorrow
and that If they cannot receive a positive
reply from the attorney who is abroad,
some other lawyer will be substituted, and
second member will be selected from the
attorneys now in the city.

25,OOO miles q year. He spends 600 full

days of eight hours each in the year. In

who have been pegging along for this time

In the executive departments Baltimore

extra half-hour makes a great difference
to these people. who probably constitute
about 10 per cent Of the regular daily COM

not envy them, though myself am used to
