BOXING ATHLETICS

grounds have been transformed INTO
forms and cities, our children's chill
dren will still hear morning and eYen-
ing the ker-wunk, ker-weehoo or the
valley quail.
Dr. f. C. Royer one OF Los Angeles
most enthusiastic disciples of the
famous Ike and the inventor OF the
South Coast minnow, has recently re-
turned from a trip up the main branch
of the San Gabriel river, where he ex-
perimented with his brook trout
edition of the South Coast minnoW.
DR.. Roger reports that the fish rose
readily to the bait and believes that
before long it will be carried by every
fisherman who carries creel.
But poor results have rewarded those
who during the week have hlshed
either at Catalina or the beaches. Ihere
is at present an unheard of scarcity or
bait at the island, and when there Is no
live bait there are no fish.
J. T. Dendinger and w. Patterson
have gone into the hills near Acton,
where 1t is reported that a couple or
bucks have been fattening awaiting
the arrivals of the local nimrods.
A. e. Benedict of Beverly has re-
Malibu ranch, with a nice forked horn
buck as the result of a short hunt.
Benedict reports that while does are
very plentiful, bucks are at present ex-
ceedingly scarce in the Malibu country.
Better shooting is, however, looked for
ward to during the next few weeks.
Charley King and Ross Stanley of
Harper and Reynolds leave today for a
two weeks deer hunting expedition into
the Sespe country.
William Larrisen of the w. H Hoe
gee company has returned from Camp
Badly and reports that but few good
catches of mountain trout have been
made during the past few weeks.
p. e. Peterson has received a COM
munication from B. c. Hinman OF Los
Angeles, who is at present In the state
of Washington, telling of the latter 8
record catches of mountain trout and
salmon. Hinman says that never be-
fore has he caught as many or as large
fish as in the streams OF the north
western state.
Salmon are at present running in
enormous quantities in the rivers and
sounds of the state of washington
The following from Seattle paper
which are now infesting the northern
waters:
BELLINGHAM, Wash, Aug. 13.-
Sockeye salmon are running In a man
ner which promises to surpass the rec
ord year of 1901. The waters OF the
gulf and Puget sound, from the mouth
of the Fraser river to the Pacific en-
trance of the Strait of Fuca, are alive
with fish, and the decline which was
feared yesterday appears to be many
days in the distance.
Last night and this afternoon every
cannery received all the fish that could
be packed by operating night and day.
The pack can only be measured by the
endurance of the workers, the ma
chimes never stopping. as one worker
drops from WEAKNESS after spending
eighteen or twenty hours on "the line"
another takes his place, and every hour
of the day or night sees $4,000 sockeye
salmon cleaned, packed, cooked and
sealed in tins.
Receipts at Bellingham, Anacortes
and Blaine for the twenty-four hours
ending at noon today totaled 705,0OO
fish, and many traps were not even
lifted, the cannerles having all that
could be taken care Of 1t Is estimated
that 100000 salmon were in the traps
before noon today.
The price of sockeyes has fallen and
trapmen, purse seiners and gill-netters
are now receiving but 20 cents per fish.
At the beginning of the run 80 cents
was paid. Purse seiners on the salmon
banl-s are making fortunes. hauls of
1000 to 5000 fish not being uncommon,
and doben hauls can be made In a
day. The number caught is only linn
tied by the capacity of the canneries
to pack. as they are brought in long
lines of scows towed by tugs.
