Fishing Not Very Good.

According to the reports of those
who were fishing yesterday the fes-
tive trout are not so anxious to take
the bait as they were earlier in the
season. Those who confined their et.
forts to the river apparently had
about as good success as those who
tried Birch, Mckay or Meacham
creeks. One party of fishermen who
went out Friday and tried the north
fork of Mckay had fair success, but
not as good as usual for that stream
at this season.

communication written in answer to a
demand for a retraction of statements
made before the white squadron" of
the Elks at Stockton has been sent by
Mayor Clinton L. White to Alexander
Brown, chairman of the state board
of equalizers.
White not only repeats his assertion
that the solid three in the state
equalizers unjustly increased the as
sessments in southern California, but
backs 1T up by declaring that by so
doing the equalizers saved the rail-
roads thousands of dollars.
White affirms that a moderate in
crease would have been just, but the
extraordinary increase without a cor
responding raise in the assessments of
the railroads was equivalent to lower
ing the assessments of the railroads.
