THAT Fish 7 nv.

As The Optic said some time ago,
the bin for a fish hatchery In New
Mexico was prepared and introduced
by Delegate Rodey at the request OF
Game Warden Page Otero. This bill
provided for the establishment OF
such hatchery at Trout Springs on the
GallInas.
The Santa Fe New Mexican has al.
ways felt entirely capable Of bestow'
Ing Its advice upon providence, upon
| kings and presidents and any other
old potentate, and the congress OF the
| United states has grown afraid to en-.
act any legislation without first Sc
curing the opinion OF the New Mexi
can on 1t.
In It's usual cocksure manner the
New Mexican tells what should bs
done in the matter OF a fish hatchery
The New Mexican says It should b.
located on the Pecos and when tha'

Delegate Andrews has succeeded II

cry on the Gallinas Incorporated II
an omnibus bill. Pressure Ia beint
brought upon the delegate from Santa
Fe and elsewhere. mostly from SAINTS
re, however, to secure a change Q
location from the Gallinas to the re

every man In San Miguel county ex
poets Delegate Andrews to use his ut

Trout Springs Ii an ideal place TO

on Otero 1t Is y much better place
than can be found In the Pecos.
the Pecos Is accessible to other point
in the territory as the New Mexican
claims. the Gallinas Is much NOR
accessible. There Isn't an advantag'
that can be argued for the Peco
that cannot be urged with still NOR
force for the Gallinas.

the RATS siLL.

Few newspaper articles Of the past
month or two have caused more gen.
eral attention In the press than the
interview with President Arthur /.
Hadley OF Yale on the Hepburn rail-
road rate bill. President
Hadley's position. II will be remem'
befed, II peculiar. He does not agree
with President Roosevelt as to the
wisdom Of the bill, hut he believes that
because the president Is backed BY
an overwhelming mass Of public sen.
timent, that under leadership less
than his might become dangerous. the
bill should pass. He believes Il would
be injurious Tor all this newly-awak.
ened moral public sentiment to be
baked and thus become h~ysterical
and perniclous. He doesn't believe
the president Il always right and he
doesn't believe the people are always
right, but he thinks 1t better for
Americans 10 do as Englishmen have
eften done--try a piece of legislation
and n II falls, admit II and try for
something better.
If the bin should fail now, the
large majority OF the people Of the
United tSates would believe, Presi
ident Hadley holds. that the wheels
OF legislation has been blocked b,
selfish private interests. This woul'
injure the railroads more than the
Hepburn bill could possibly injure
them. In fact, President Hadley be
lieves that the shippers will be the
ones injured. II any one. by the at
tempts 10 enforce the bill. These AT
tempts. however, to limit the right Of
appeal will, he believes. be illusory.

ten days, without experiencing any storm
worth mentioning, when we reached
Honolulu, beautiful city of $4,000 in
habitants on the southern border of the
Oahu Island, two thousand miles from
Frisco. Here at the docks is coaling

night to fill the bunkers of our vessel,
during which time we were camped in
Honolulu in the U. S. government corral,
place used for quartering the soldiers,
live stock and other property of the army.

del Pillar and consisted of 10000 men, with
very poor equipment for war. You VIII o
are unfamiliar with the situation cannot
imagine how hard 1t IS to battle with the
insurgents. They were great on the
bluff, and had the idea that when they
killed few American soldiers the balance
of the army would lay down its arms and
give up in dispair. They went barefooted
and knew every nook and corner of the
jungles. In hundreds of towns they
would fortify themselves and prepare to
battle with the U. S. soldiers, but when
we advanced into the town they skee-
daddled like streak of creased lightning
and were lost from US in the mountains
and jungles and not a man could be found.
With our large army equipment it was ut
terly useless for us to undertake to follow
them. The insurgents equipment, how
ever, was merely nothing, consisting only
of bolos, rifles and a small haversack
which carried their ammunition and several
days rations. They could trail around
the paths In the mountains like a razor
back pig and live on almost nothing. We
occupied the towns principally and put
them under marshal law.
The average Filipino is as unreliable as
southern negro. Some times in the in
terror we would be routing the insurgents
and come upon a male native working
his rice field. An interpreter always ac-
companied us he would proceed to inquire
of the native if he had seen the insurgents
pass and in which direction they were
going. He was always a goody- goody
kind Of fellow, in fact, "much-amego,"
which meant that the was very friendly
to US, and would quit his work and make
US think that he was going to pilot us to
place where we would capture the whole
army. When in reality he would steer US
directly away from them or lead US into
trap to be slaughtered. This kind OF
plotting generally subjected him to what
is known as the "water cure, /" which was
tying the Filipino hand and foot and lay
ing him on the ground flat on his back.
A large bamboo joint was pushed into his
throat and water poured into him until he
swelled up like acroaking frog. In many
instances they would die rather than tell
the truth about the movements of their
soldiers. The water cureis horrifying to-
say the least, and always, with the ex-
ception Of one time, managed to get out
Of taking an active part in this cruel
affair.
Every nation has its drink and the Fill

DO NOT RIDE ASTRIDE.

A lady ought to always have beauty,
But when she loses her pride
So the dear old Confederate said,
Is when she rides astride.
A lady ought to always have honor,
And her honor should be her pride !;
Be.able to carry the banner,
By never riding astride.
A lady should always have respect,
For our dear old grandmother e
pride,
Who void sigh with deepest regret
To see a lady riding astride.

By being content with ancient

And wear her old time dresses,
And let the men wear the breaches.
