CANON CITY'S HOME
PRODUCT FINDS FAVOR

In connection with the biscuit bak-
ing contest yesterday too much credit
cannot be given the Canon City Mill
ing company who furnished On-Time
flour for the occasion. On-Time flour
yesterday proved what has always
been claimed for 1t by the manage
ment, that is, that no flour can give
better results in baking biscuits and
pastry than On-Time flour, and 1t Is
also productive of good bread. The
Hard-to- Beat flour, made from Kansas
hard wheat, is especially adapted for
fine bread. No flour can give as strong
recommendation as that secured by
On-Time flour yesterday, when out OF
48 little cooks all with different re-
ceipts and instructions, not one pan
Of biscuits was failure.
The Canon City Milling company re-
tail and deliver flour and feed to all
parts Of the city and their products
are handled by all groceries.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-20

No sport more sensational exists, IN
the opinion of many persons, than
hunting big game of the ocean with
rod and reel. At times there are perils
to equal any met in the depths of
African forests. The reputed peaceful
ness of the angler art seems rather
imaginary when man engages IN an
all day battle with fish as weighty as
a small horse and takes chances of be-
ing killed by the sea monster 8
frenzied leap into his boat. A number
of fishermen have been killed while
fighting tarpon in the Mexican gulf,
and perilous adventures with the tuna
off the California coast are recorded.
Capsizes are frequent; sometimes
fouled line drags the angler under wa
ter and in tow of 300-pound fish.
One of the many varieties of incidental
dangers was illustrated the other day
in a dispatch from Santa Catalina ISL
and. the California tuna preserve,
stating that New York physician was
furiously attacked in his launch by
horde of seals hungry for his catch
of albicore, says the New York Tri-
bune.
1t is a modern recreation to go after
big fish with rod and line. Some years
ago it was thought impossible to catch
ocean giants in this way. Sportsmen
conceived the notion of using delicate
apparatus and applying artistic skill to
subdue the marine enemy, whose

strength, slowly Gibbs after hours of
combat. The secret is never to let
the fish rest and to "play' it from
the moment it is hooked Sometimes a
tuna, utterly exhausted after a long
struggle, dies from heart failure, just
like human athlete. There are fish
ing club rules limiting the weight of
the rod and the thickness of the line
so as to give the game a fighting
chance. After the victory the fish are
generally turned loose. The big game
is not edible as rule. Among the
few big game fishes are the tuna, am
berjack and barracuda. The tuna be-
longs to the marckerel tribe. A speci-
men weighing 1000 pounds has been
speared.
The tarpon is herring, and the re-
cord specimen weighed 385 pounds. No
fish in nature is credited with such
athletic feats as the tarpon. 1t leaps
a straight dozen feet into the air and
hurls itself sideways for a distance of
thirty feet, almost eclipsing the aerial
flight of the flying fish, which is its
prey. If the silver bodied giant, TAX
ing a eatapult leap, ever lands in a
boat the fishermen are lucky to gain
the water without fractured limbs.
The tuna season is on at Santa Cata-
lima island between April and July,
when the flying fish, on which the big
maekerel feed, are in evidence. The
fisherman trolls from rOwboat hitch
ed to a power launch. His rod and
line are worth perhaps $3.50. There

Even granting that the workers could peaceably and orderly appropriate for their own whatever they needed to appease their wants, Is 1t to be supposed that, when they had used up the material at hand, they would be in any better position to fight the light of life?

sOCIALIsTIC LOGIC.

William D. Haywood, undesirable citizen." had a number of novel sug- gestions to make Sunday night, such as men Of his party are likely .o spring at any unpsychologcal mos ment. Not content with condemning Taft and Bryan and necessarily Roosc- welt who Is responsible, like a god father for his unchristan cognomen, he went on to explain how the social sts would do away with the present officers of our government generally, though how that is consistent with the fact that he himself was all but nom
 mated for the highest officer in the power of the people of this nation 10 confer, 1t is not easy to see. Incl dentally, our much -wronged and much complaining friend showed that he did not believe there should be any let mp of political discussions even on Sunday.
 The method by which Tho Undesir- able one came to the conclusion that our present political leaders of both parties arc far from being worthy of any faith was not difficult one. Were any of them asked what should be done by the starving working man would not say: Turn the country over the socialism" Therefore, they are not fit leaders of mon. Mir. Hay woods own descriptions of the ono and only panacea for such an econ omic situation, is an interesting one, to say the least.

The fire depart ment would be made over into sani- tary corps to save thousands of lives by cleaning up the city. And finally the people, he said would have per- feet right to beg, borrow or steal. but not to starve, since to starve Is to commit suicide and that is against the law.
 To thoughtfully consider the unruy situation that Mir. Haywood would bring to pass, must suggest to any req sonable- minded man the futility of i;.

THE sAvlN ROCK EPISODE.

This is no time to anticipate the ac- ton of the court which will tomorrow have all of the facts laid before 1t in connection with the shooting match which occurred Sunday as a conse- quence of state police interference with the enforcement of the liquor laws. There is every reason to believe that the borough court is equal to a just weighing of the evidence and thus to an adequate protection of the borough itself against lawlessness
 The newspaper accounts agree In sev- eral important details and on that ac- count the future usefulness of the state police Is brought under consideration so far as this particular enterprise sheds light upon 1t. The proprietors of the hotel where the shooting occurred and the state policemen agree that when the latter asked to be served with drinks contrary to the law they were refused. In other words, these state po- licemen were unable to collect the evil dence needed to cause an arrest for violation of the law Hay they been content with this failure on their part to establish lawessness and gone about their business 1t is inconceivable that rough house could have followed n- ciudng the pulling and shooting of pis- tos The spectacle of state policemen undertaking their lawful errand with guns in their pockets Is not such as tc encourage ones faith In that depart ment of the state government and it's view of It's responsibility.
 There is no place in the state of Con Inectiout where unusual Judgment should be exercised on Sunday as at savin Rock, the playground and recrea- ton spot of thousands of people who seek the cool breezes of the shore and an escape from the heat of the con gested quarters of the city. The strict regime of the country town cannot be enforced there and 1t should not be un- dertaken in the absence of rowdyism and disorderly conduct The conduct of the Sunday crowds at the shore Is each year better. The spirit that would ex- ercise all of the arts of Sherlock Holmes in order to ferret out possi- be violation of the laws, which under no circumstances constitutes shock to society as whole when thus cunning ly entrapped, may illustrate the power of modern methods of police search, but 1t has no understanding of the character of the average light hearted American crowd The savin Rock shooting match points unerringly to the need there Is for a more intelligent study of the needs of the people of New Haven and the others who seek the shore for peaceful and proper pur- poses.
