BUFFALO BILLS GREAT WORK

his Wild West work as follows:

part, make long journeys 10 inc
''banks,'' where, in the shallow
water, away out at sea, hundreds of
miles from any coast line, the
choicest and largest fish consort.
These fishing vessels, by their very
cut and build, are not only staunch
and strongly rugged, but are as
swift and have lines as fine as a
racing yacht. They have sharp,
high bows, always carry plenty OF
canvas and keep it up without a
reef till the wind reaches the We
locity of half-a-gale. These fisher
men never take in sail until as
rule something carries away" and
the lea decks are awash. The yes
sells are called "bankers,' and
sail for cod and halibut, to DO
found often in the region where the
ice foes float along the coast of
Labrador and Newfoundland.
Ali they are brave men, these
fishermen. They care not for tho
warnings of the signal service OF
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-28

the approach of Storm
and they never set aside
a day on which they are
to start because of wind
or tempest.
All the fishing is done
in small rowboats called
dories. They are fiat
bottomed and they are
peculiar to Gloucester.
Their length is from
eighteen to twenty feet.
A good sized schooner
carries ten or twelve
dories, dashed down to
the deck in two nests,
piled upon each other
like saucers.
When the fl s h n g
grounds are reached the
crew are told off to
man the dories and lay
out the travis. The
trawl is a long warp of
stout line sunk at either
end by heavy weights to
the sea s bottom and
buoyed with perpendicu-
lar lines at each end to
show its position. On
the main fishing line,
which lies at the bot
tom, are fastened at
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-28

short intervals thousands Of fshhooks The
dory starts out at one end of the warp, runs
the line over roller from its bow, and after
leaving it down for several hours it is hauled
on board in the same manner and the men
pick off the fish and rebait the hooks. There
is no small boat SO safe at sea as the Glou-

cester dory. L have heard fish
ermen say they would sooner
be in a "down East" dory
during a gale of wind than on
an Atlantic liner.
M ANY lives are lost on these
M fishing grounds chiefly
for the reason that fog cuts off
the men who are tending the
lines from the schooner to
which they belong. Sometimes
they are picked up, however,
by another schooner, and when
they get back to Gloucester it
has been found that a man
alive and well has seen news of
his own death by flag flying
at half-mast on his own vessel.
Another cause of the tragedies
which are SO frequent among
the fishermen is that they gen
orally do most of their work in
the direct path of the great
ocean greyhounds, and many a
dory is run down and no one
ever hears of it again. Also

FUND
FOR CHERRY AID

Mayor d. C. Mcdonald yesterday
sent a letter %inclosing a draft for
$22S.15 to Cherry for the benefit
of the sufferers through the mine
horror of that grief stricken town:
the result of the appeal to the peo-
pie of the district which was started
by the White Pine News.
1t is a far off cry from Ely to
Cherry, but the American people are
always ready to bark to the call for
aid; and the American people in ELY
are no different from the American
people wherever else they may be.
1t was only necessary that they be
told of the distress of the widows
and orphans in the little mining town
to open their purses and pour the
contents into the fund of the UNI
fortunates.
The people of Ely were told of the
desolation of the homes in Cherry
through the dispatches in the White
Pine News, and the paper went a lit
tie further and sounded the call of
distress, and kept telling of it until
action was taken. No petitions were
circulated through the town. 1t was
up to the people themselves, and
the Northern hotel and the Veteran
saloon took it upon themselves to
raise a fund in Ely, while the Cop
per National bank did likewise in
East Ely.
The amount raised was not a
great deal, but if every town in the
country of the same size as Ely does
as we'll there should be no lack of

Cherry. Above all the fund, and the
manner in which it was raised, shows
the kindly feeling of the people
here, and the expression of senti-
ment would have been the same were
the afflicted locality a mercantile
center instead of a little mining
community. The sentiments are ex-
pressed in the letter of the mayor
which is as follows.
Ely, New, Dec. 1, 1909.
To the Mayor and Relief Committee
of Cherry, Illinois.
Gentlemen:-In behalf of the citi-
zens of the city of Ely and East Ely,
| enclose you a check for two hun
dred and twenty-eight dollars and
fifteen cents ($22S.15), as an ex-
preston of our sympathy for the
widows and orphans who have lost
their husbands and fathers, and for
the heroes who sacrificed their lives
to save their comrades in the fright
full disaster at Cherry, Ill.
Trusting that our government will
take immediate steps to prevent as
far as possible the occurrence OF
these accidents SO fatal to human
life in the coal mines of country.
Yours in sympathy,

Mayor of Ely.

says the Courier Journal, and paid
a visit to the local pant not long ago.
He walked through the building un-
accompanied, and in n of the cor
ridors found a wrinkled faced
weather beaten old Irishman stand
ing on a truck, his arms folded and
his short pipe lit, putting away like a
good fellow.
Mr.Cudahy said nothing, but kept
on in his little tour of inspection.
After completing it, he returned the
way he had come and found the old
man still standing in the pose des-
cribed, his pipe going like the ex-
haust of a morton boat. He was APP
parently meditating upon things in
general, for he seemed to take no
interest in the progress of the truck.
What are you doing?" inquired
Mr.. Cudahy gently, not wishing to
rouse the dreamer too suddenly.

TACKLING A HARD GAME.

"A drink of the average bar whis-
key" declared the congressman
from Kentucky in pure food law de-
bate, would make a jack rabbit sit
up and spit in a bull dogs face"
1t looks to us as if there had been
some average whiskey" in circula-
ton among the gentlemen who have
seemingly set about putting stumb-
ling blocks in the way of the Ely
Goldfield railroad. Either that or
the fact that they are dealing with
experienced western railroad men,
and good ones, has escaped their con-
~sideration. There are no amateurs
in the crowd they are tackling, head
ed by John Ryan, a mature gentle
man who happens to know all the
tricks of the game and with millions
back of him, to direct as he sees fit,
would nevertheless shut down every
pound of railroad steam he controls
and burn the survey notes and plans
of every foot of new railway he may
have ever contemplated rather than
yield a single penny in tribute.
With John Ryan at the helm, all
who may have interest in the Ely
Goldield railroad, one way or an
other, directly or indirectly, prop
erty owner, shipper or traveller, may
look with absolute confidence for a
square deal. In return, this mans
history in the west tets. John Ryan
will have a square deal for himself
and those he represents. To pro-
coed in any other way with him is to
deliberately prepare for defeat,
horse, foot and dragon. Our adj
vice is to leave him alone. The jack
rabbit may tackle the bull dog, but
what the bull dog will do to the jack
rabbit thereafter is a matter for the
ron to tell about. Trained rail-
road men are engaged In this game,
which is a big one, involving trans
continental lines. And they have
more than one survey, which leads
to the satisfactory thought that no
matter what Ely may or may not do,
the district as a whole will still ben
fit from the construction of the Ely
Goldfeld road.
