SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE GALE

WASHINGTON. May 16-The con-
ferees on the fortifieations appropria-
ton bill are trying to cut out several
important items affecting California
Senator Perkins. chairman OF the SEN
ate conferees. IS doing his best TO keep
them in the bill, but one item. making
an appropriation for fortfncatious at
San Pedro. is almost certain TO be
dropped out
Senator Flint secured the passage OF
this item in the senate against the re-
port of the war department. WHICH was
a remarkable feat. and he is trying
hard TO keep it in the bill.
Officers OF the department who have
been questioned on the subject have
told the eonferees that there is no need
of fortifications at San. Pedro
cut viii also be made in the fortifi-
cation appropriations for Puget sound,
but the san Francisco and San Diego
items are safe. The bill provides
enough money to complete the defensss
Of San Francisco. including the sub-
marine mine system.

POTTER VALLEY HAS
A PLAGUE OF EELS
Employees of Power Company
Remove Mass of Wiggling
Things From Canal
Electricians Slaughter Enemies
of Young Trout to Facilitate
Their Removal
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL

UKIAH. MAY 16.-While plaques os
all kinds have been chronicled from
time TO time by the press IL remains
for Mendocino TO experience a plague
never before heard Of in the civilized
world-that of eels-
There is a large canal at the power
house of the Snow Mountain water and
power company in Potter valley. con-
structed to carry off the water after It
has been used in generating power.
This canal is about sixteen feet wide
and eight feet deep and for some dis
tance after leaving the plant is cement
lined
Myriads of eeIs have been running
up this canal since the rains ceased
and the number has increased daily
until they actually became a plague
and for time il was feared they would
interfere with the working of the
power plant
The eels worked their way into the
plant and located in immense numbers
under one OF the dynamos which was
not being used. until the mass OF wig
Cling eeis were FIVE feet deep.
When the outlet Of the canal became
contested the employees took pitchforks
and removed a mass of eels and filled
four horse wagon. Finally the cleo
tricians sunk a piece OF meshed wire
netting into the canal where the eels
congregated and this was connected
with the power house, When the wire
was well covered with eels q heavy
voltage OF electricity was turned on.
resulting in q great slaughter. The
cells were then gathered up. carted
away and buried. The performances
was repeated as often as the wire was
covered and in this way the plague
is being minimized.
The fish commission has approved or
this method of determination as the
eels are exceedingly destructive to
young trout There were more trout
than ever known in the river this
season and il is believed that the
great run of eels is due TO this fact.
