Tens of thousands of ducks were
feeding out in Lake Koshkonong this
week and thousands of Canadian geese
were there too. They kept shy of the
shore line and the hunters kept shy of
the game wardens and so no one was ar
rested In the mean time the spring
shooting bills seem to be enjoying dose
of morphine in the hands of the Fish
and Game committee at Madison. Down
in Illinois the hunters report great sport.
Wisconsin sportsmen who are opposing
spring shooting in this state will please
keep out of Illinois as knowledge of their
presence there has an effect on Koshko
nong sportsmen very like holding a red
rag in front of an enraged BUILT. At

/ ish Laws That Affect Rock County.

Fish Laws That Affect Rock County.
In answer to several inquiries relative
to the fish laws governing the catches in
Rock river, the following extract from
the Fish and Game Laws is printed:
1t was found that in Section oh of
Chapter 4S9. laws of 1905, that there
shall be no closed season on any game
fish in Rock river whore it flows through
Dane, Jefferson and Rock counties.
Several exceptions were noted. No
black bass less than eight inches in
length can be taken and must, If caught
be removed from the hook without in
jury and deposited in the stream from
which it was captured. No seines are to
be drawn over spawning beds of game
fish during the spawning season which
extends from March l to May Is.
Set lines nets and seines are forbid
den.
Many people not being familiar with
these laws have complained that men
were fishing regularly in the river and
they feared when they were able to cast
line the fish would be gone. The
anxiety of such persons will probably be
relieved after reading this article.

Now is Best limo 10 Take

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers OF a large New
York daily paper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
tion, which any one can easily pre-
pare at home:
Fluid Extract Dsndelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce (;
Compound Syrup Sarsparilla, three
ounces
Mix by shaking we'll in Il bottle,
and take teaspoonfnl after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and. be
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less 10 take. This pleasant mixture,
II taken regularly for few days, is
said 70 overcome almost any case of
Rheumatism. Tie pain and yelling,
il any. diminishes with each dose,
until permanent results are obtained,
and without injuring the stomach.
While there are many so-called kheu-
matism rsn 51ies patei medicines,
etc, some Of which DO give relief few
really give permanent results, aud the
above will. no doubt, be greatly ap-
preoisteo by many sufferers here at
this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of this
neighborhood eiicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers If asked to.

PARCELS POST PROSPECTS.
Effect Of Proposed Innovation on Mail
Order Busress.


Order Busiress.
According 10 a STAFF correspondent
Of the New York Globe. Postmaster
General Meyer intends ne~ winter
to propose to congress the establish
ment OF a parcels post system such
as obtains in England. This innova-
ton has been advocated by many per-
sons for years, but It has been defeat
ed by the interests OF 'he express
companies represented IN congress,
particularly in the senate. There Is
now said to be considerable opposition
on account OF the fear that the estab-
lishment OF this service, whereby par
GELS weighing several pounds are to be
sent through the mails at nominal
rate, will injure local merchants be-
cause OF making mail order trade
more easy.
On this point the Globes Washing.
ton correspondent says:
when the time comes Postmaster
General Meyer with the backing Of
the president, is expected TO come out
with arguments intended to refute the
idea that the small storekeeper would
be hurt by a parcels post officials
who have looked into the matter say
that the parcels post would help the
small dealer instead Of hurting him,
and that instead OF being compelled
TO keep stocks Of certain goods he
could act as an agent for big houses
on commission, obtaining his goods
quickly and at low transportation cost
by mail OF course, the examples set
by foreign countries will be cited. II
will be pointed out, undoubtedly, that
nearly every other civilized country
has better facilities for carrying par.
cells by mail than this country.
AS Is we'll known, one can mail an
eleven pound package and send It
through the mail 10 almost any place
outside the United States and its pos
sessions. The reports on the English
parcels post system afford arguments
which it IS entirely likely the post
Office department VIII avail itself Of.
There one can send q parcel weighing

Anthracnose. or black spot, is
doing as much damage to the orchards
Of Josephine county as is the scale or
any of the other pests. The anthrac-
rose is fungus, the spores of which
ripen in the fall. These spores are
carried from tree to tree by birds, in.
scots, wind and other means and
LODGING on the bark Immediately be.
gin to grow and multiply in countless
Numbers. They can readily he killed
by spraying if this is done in Novem.
Der and the first part of December be-
fore they have become firmly rooted.
Where the disease has become firmly
established on tree it is a more diff.
cult matter to eradicate it. but il can
be done If the dead bark is thoroughly
scraped off before the spraying is
done.
The anthracnose has been completely
eradicated from the orchards of Hood
River and the big commercial Or
chsrds Of jackson county are free
from it, only the small farm orchards
that have been uncared for showing
the pest. Here in Josephine county
almost every orchard is affected more
or less with anthracnose, and most Of
the fruit trees 10 Grants Pass are
reeking with this deadly pest. This
pest is as contagious as is the scale
and it is difficult and expensive
work for one orchardist to keep his
trees free from it while his neighbors
trees are infested with il. Spraying
for this disease should have been be-
gun not later than November lst or as
early as the fruit has been picked.
The progressive orchardists have al
ready sprayed their trees this fall or
will soon do 80, but as Josephine
county now has no fruit inspector to
enforce the law and compel the care
less and indifferent tree owners to
spray their trees little headway 10
likely to be made this year In eradi-
eating the snthracnose from this Sec
tion Of Rogue River Valley. Spray.
ing later this winter will hold the
pest in check and keep up the vitality
Of the trees 30 that next fall 1t will b !
IN easier matter to clear the tree Of
the disease.

that is admirably adapted for that

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March 3.-City Clerk
Fred Baldwin will start his deputies
to work Monday morning assessing city
property. Last year this work was
put off until June / and a number OF
errors were caused by the rush in
which the business was attended to.
The building occupied by the Peoples
bank on the west side of Pine avenue,
between Second and Third streets has
been purchased for S65, 900 by the Land
and improvement company. The
property was recently secured by the
Peoples bank at the same figure, but
was disposed of because of the con-
solidation of that institution with the
First National bank, as told in yes
terday mornings Herald.
Attorney ]. e. Daily has filed de-
murrer to the complaint in the case
of Mrs. J. Phillips against the Long
Beach Hotel company and the archi-
tects, which grew out of the death
of Mrs. Phillips husband in the Bixby
disaster. The demurrer will be argued
next Friday. 1t is based upon the
point that the relation of the hotel
company and the architect is not
specifically defined.
Three carloads of steel for the new
First Methodist church to be built at
Fifth street and Pacific avenue arrived
yesterday This is the first of the ma
terial to be received. The total cost
of the steel and iron to be used in the
edifice will be $4,000.
When Frank Frace, who had been
a tenant in Elliot Messengers home,
returned to the house Friday night to
get a few articles which had been left

ben sentenced Monday.

GREAT TRAP SHOOTER
WILL COMPETE AGAIN

Fred Gilbert, the wizard of Spirit
lake, for years champion trap shot of
the world, is convalescing after a pro-
tracted illness at Hot Springs.
His condition for the past year has
inspired predictions that Gilbert, who
swept all before him in 1903-4-5, with
performances which marked new era
in trap shooting, would never regain
his once marvellous form.
Unless he should suffer a relapse it
is announced that he will shoot over
the Chicago traps early next month,
preliminary to the interstate associa-
tion tournaments, which begin at Rich
mond, Va, May $40, closing with the
Pacific coast handicap at Spokane in
September.
Carrying off the highest honors in
1904 with phenomenal scores, Gilbert
eclipsed himself in 1905 by breaking 500
out of 600 targets in three days shoot
at Des Moines, and then breaking 5S8
out of 900 at st. Joseph, Mo-, an actual
record of only 20 misses in 1900 targets
shot at during six consecutive days.
Whether this performance can ever
be duplicated or approached by the
former champion is a question, the re-
ply to which is scheduled as one of the
interesting trap shooting events of the
coming season.
