AS TO TROUT FISHING

The close season Tor trout III California ought to
be readusted to fit the habits of the fish in the
several rivers. On the Klamath the fish are best
and strongest in the winter and carly spring months
In the middle OF. summer they ge, roldy and dis
eased. They not fit to be eaten at that season.
The Late Henry Vrooman of Oakland used to
fish on the Klamath all through the month of Feb
ruary with snow on the ground, and the trout were
in magnificent condition. dead game fighters and no
easy prey.
In the Sierra streams, on the other hand there is
rarely any fishing worth while before July and
OH the little Sacramento fly fishing in an ordinary
year opens about June l. Then if I had my way
all the coast streams within a hundred miles of
San Francisco would be closed for five years to
give the flngerngs chance to grow. 1t is rare
to find fish than six inches long in any of
these streams now. They should have rest
The Klamath trout are SO big and 1usty that
their geological classification became the cause of
cruel war between Fish Commissioner Stone and
Al Cumming. Al Cumming swears they are steel
heads. General Stone-nlay the lamp of his nose

On the Klamath it is all bottom fishing, because
this angry stream is the big muddy OF California
and its waters are turbid every day in the year.
On one special reach of the river not more than
hundred yards long have caught as many as
a hundred big fish in the course OF day. Bottom
fishing in rushing torrent destroys quantities OF
tackle There are hundreds of dollars worth of
hooks, lines and leaders snagged on the bottom OF

Berlin, Feb. Z. = Chancellor Won
Bethmann. Hollweg today sent to the
reichstag the following communica-
tion regarding the German-American
tariff agreement:
"The American government has de-
clared that the livestock question ia
withdrawn wholly from the negotia-

tied enjoyment of Germany's conven-
tional tariff be conceded to the United
States.
"It further agrees that the aovan-
tages of the American minimum tariff
shall be extended unrestrictedly to
Germany after March 81.
"That the customs administrative
features of the existing tariff arrange
ment shall remain in force.
"That this extension of the mini.
mum tariff to Germany secures to her
treatment in accordance with the most
favored nation clause.
"That the American customs admin.
istrative regulation shall be applied tc
Germanegoods in friendly and con.
ciliatory spirit.
"That the present agreement re.
specting the labelling of wines shall

Paris, Feb. THE fall of the river
Seine was more rapid today. The ap
pearance of the city is approaching the
normal, but the subways system is still
imperative. Water remains in the
tubes, which, after they have been
emptied, must be cleaned and disinfect-
ed. The progress toward the restora-
tion of the lighting, telephone and tel
egraph lines is slow. The work of dis
infection and other precautions against
an epidemic Of typhoid has been SO
thorough that some Of the newspapers
predict that Paris will not only es-
cape contagion but will emerge from
the food cleaner than before.
The superintendent of sewers re-
ports that from the examinations
which he has been able to make, few
of the sewer mains burst, the ruptures
occurring in the branch pipes leading
into buildings.
Despite the attempts of some of the
opposition papers to make it appear
that dissensions prevail among the
various relief organizations, investiga-
tion indicates that all are cooperating
with zeal. Foreign contributions to
the relief fund today reached total Of
about $500, 900.

Syndicate Will Plant Big Tract Near
Capital City.
Salem-One hundred and sixty-fve
acres of raw land have been purchased
by syndicate of Salem business men
in the center of one of the best fruit
districts in the vicinity Of Salem, the
Rosedale district, and it will be set out
at once with Italian prunes. The
trees have been ordered for so acres of
the purchase, and they will be planted
at once.
The land is located seven or eight
miles south of Salem, and will be trav-
ersed by the Oregon Electric when
that line is extended on to Albany.
The purchase was made of Arthur Ed
wards by Charles McNary, DR.. T. C.
Smith. Harry E. Albert and Frank
Durbin, an attorney, dentest, 9
banker and hop grower and buyer.
1t is the first time that group of men
have entered the prune business in sc
systematic way in this vicinity.
The whole tract is not to be set out
at once. The best methods will be
adopted and studied with a view tc
making money. Other improvements
will be put on the tract, including 6
unique summer home, which may be
occupied from time to time by one OF
more of the families of the men who
are the proprietors of the model or.
chard. 1t will be a plantation fol
farmers and prune growers in Marion
and Polk counties to emulate, and as ar
educational feature alone it will be 6
valuable asset to the prune growing in
dustry in those counties.

ADJOURN IN DEADLOCK.
Miners andl Operators Unable to
Reach Agreement.


Toledo. o., Feb. Unable to eff
feet an organization because of the
deadlock on the admission of miners
delegates from Illinois, the joint wage
conference of the bituminous coal oper-
ators and miners of Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania adjourned tonight sine
die.
No provision was made for another
meeting. The adjournment it is de-
clared, does not mean necessarily q
suspension of work at the expiration
of the present contract, April /.
This would affect all bituminous dis
tricts controlled by the United Nine
workers, as they decreed at their In
dianapolis convention that no district
should sign wage scale until the
scales for all districts were negotiated.
Both sides have declared, however,
that they will not recede on the Illinois
proposition.
Some plan may be worked out to get
the miners and operators together
again before April L. 1t may be call
for another convention or the selection
of representative scale committee.
A meeting of the executive boards
of the miners was called for tomorrow.
The night session lasted only short
time.
As no one had anything to say, the
futility of continuing the session was
expressed by President Lewis. His
suggestion for dividing the responsible.
ity for adjournment was followed. A
delegate from the miners moved to ad.
journ and one from the operators sec.
onded it.
