FISHING Time IN THE PASIG

Friday morning Fillipinos
sharing cells and other fl sh in the
Pasig near the old captain of the
port building by the aid of fish
snares caught the largest eel ever
seen on the water front. 1t was
fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all
the ships ligh ers moored in the
stream were thronged WITH
hundreds of Filipinos with snares
and spears trying to catch the fish
that in myriads were swimming
near the surface of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost I'M
animously in their statement to the
effect that at this time of the year
the bottom of the river gets hot
and that the fish have to leave the
depths of the stream and flash back
and forth on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to
have great many adherents was
to the effect that at this time every
year there was a change in the
character Of the water, this change
acting on the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an
old pilot who has witnessed the
phenomenon for many years. -

that he attributes the decrease in
the number of deaths to the
educational campaign that those
interested in the fight against the

is general tendency on the part of
the people to heed the warming

Herrara, the Spanish historian,
says that Pizarrc when he landed
in South America owed his lie,
and those of his companions to the
fact that one of the party fell off
his horse by accident. The natives
had succeeded in cutting off the
retreat of the Spaniards to- their
ships, when one of the riders was
thrown. The Indians were so
astonished at the dissolution of
partnership that they took flight
at once. They had supposed horse

GREAT WORK OF BUILDING
HIGH LINE is UNDER WAY

Ground has been broken for the
new high line through the Meadow
Valley wash, for which the con-
tracts were let some weeks ago.
At the present time this is the most
extensive railroad work being
carried on in the west, as it in
wolves an expenditure of over &c.
600, 900 for contract work alone,
not including the heavy cost of
surveys and preliminary work.
What is known as the Brown outfit,
part of the Utah Construction COM
pany, have established their camp
at Aetna, some four miles below
Caliente, and active work was be
gun on Thursday.
A number of sub-contracts
have been let by the Utah Con-
struction company for a part of
their work and these small con-
tractors are now establishing
camps and will be in full operation
the coming week. twenty-five car
loads of equipment, including
horses, scrapers, steam shovels
and camp equipment, have arrived
during the past few days for the
Utah Construction company, and
laborers quarry men and rockmen
are arriving daily. A special
passenger coach is being run daily
from Salt Lake to bring in work
men, and it is expected that another
car will soon be put on from Los
Angeles to this point. In ex.
tensive work of this kind consider.
able time is necessary to establish
camps. particularly in a country
as rugged as Meadow valley. Thes G
camps, however, are now being
laid out and workmen are being
rushed to the different points.
Within the next thirty days from
$500 to 1000 men will be EN-
ployed at this end. A very large
force of miners will be necessary
as the work is principally through
rock, and q number of tunnels carry.
ing from 200 to 1,1O0feet in length
will be necessary. At the present
time Caliente is one of the boom
towns of the state and will continue
to be so for months to come.
Not in years has such general
activity been shown as at the
present time. With the coming
rush of miners and laborers for
the new high line of the Salt Lake
route it has created demand for
houses and accommodation such
as has but once before been known
in the history of the town.-Las
