or ten ounces, built short, stocky and
powerful, is better. It must be able
to handle long line, which means a
heavy line, one practically of light
salmon size. AS the angler fishes
close to the surface of the water there
will be much line submerged in his
casting, and his rod must be powerful
in order to lift it-as must his wrist
be also. Once the fish is hooked and
free in that boiling torrent, the rod
has asked of it all that any rod can
give. 1t must, in effect, to be most
efficient, be of just as much weight
as one can handle single-handed, with
the heavy line.
The steelhead will follow the
fancy of fresh-water trout in its own
selection of flies, In habits some
what like the freshrun salmon, it still
rather favors the freshwater trout;
and it is not customary to angle for it
with the gaudy flies that alone serve
in salmon angling In summer even
ings the local anglers favor gray
hackles, brown hackles, or some mod
est fly of that description. Number
one hook is a favored size for that
river.
1t is to be understood that the
strain on the tackle is extreme, and
the hook must be large enough not
to tear out of the fish's mouth. At
times in the evening the coachman is
found effective. Most anglers during
the day will change flies as they do
on any trout stream. The usual un-
certainty as to what the steelhead act
ually is going to want is before you
al the time. At the time of the
writer's visit, in July, the gray hackle
was per haps the best fly in use.
In water like this it is naturally
some time before a fish can be sub
dued after it is hooked. The angler
will have a fight on his hands every
minute of the time-he may rest as
sured of that. He will have rushing
tactics-moring and sulking some
times, if the water permits; but his
fish, being smaller than a genuine
salmon, will rush more, leap more
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-23

and be more active. Again, 1t will
make extremely long runs-I have
never seen any trout take off so much
line at one run as the steelhead does.
1t was my fortune to see this steel
head angling at its best in the COM
pany Of some friends Of Ashland and
Medford on one midsummer day. Our
party, more or less unsuccessful dur
ing the heated hours, was augmented
in the evening by an auto-load of eX-
perts from Medford led by the prose-
cutting attorney of that town, pow
erful man, weighing more than two
hundred pounds. His chosen fishing
companion was the editor Of one Of
the daily papers, man Of medium
height and weight. These two quite
often fished together. They would
lock hands and wade out along the
edge of some ridge of rapids, in the
effort to get out line enough to reach
over the lying ground of the steel
heads, which experience had taught
them was in the deep white water far
out in the middle Of the stream,
where the broken rocks afforded the
fish a chance to hold their own
against the current.
Time andagain, as these two hardy
souls slipped and slid on their way
out to the middle of the river, we ex-
pected to see them go down; but they
proved their ability to fish in those
conditions. Such angling would be a
physical impossibility for any salmon
angler accustomed only to boatwork,
or for any trout angler used only to
gentler streams. It was the most ex-
citing angling have ever seen during
a life more or less passed in wander
ing.
OF course in this sort of fishing the
shoes are hobnailed heavily. Beyond
that, the angler does not wear very
much Of a costume Waders would
be out of the question-to be carried
down in breast-high waders would
mean death for any swimmer in that
stream. Stripped to overalls and un-
dershirt and wading shoes, these men
go into battle.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-23

These experienced anglers were
much disappointed because we found
no fish during the day of more than
six pounds weight. They purposed
journey twenty or thirty miles high
er up the river the following day,
where they knew water that held
abundance of ten and twelve pound
fish. That's the camel" explained
one of them. when you get one OF
those fellows you will know you have
had a fight"
In play on the rod when actually
hooked the steelhead is combination
of all the artfulness, courage and
strength that exist in fish makeup,
He will rush like muskellunge, tug
like black bass, sulk or rush like a
salmon, and leap like trout. A
favorite maneuver on his part seems
to be sullen shaking of the head
you feel continuous series of short,
savage jerks at the line as he tries to
get line enough for a burst out into
the heavy water, where he knows the
current against his side will give him
added leverage against the rod.
He will always fight remote from
the angler-fifty, sixty, seventy-five
feet; so that in the dim light of even
ing, when the sport is best, it is often
difficult to see clearly what the fish
is doing, even when he jumps-only
out at the end of that tense strand
OF silk one feels something savage,
fearless, courageous. Take this feel
ing with that inspired by the roaring
river, and the angler is not always
sure whether he is the pursued or the
pursuer.
Thousands Of men have killed their
salmon skillfully, comfortably and
enjoyably; but you must number in
less than hundreds the fly-fishermen
who have ever killed their steelheads,
fair and square, heel and toe, pull
devil, pull baker, midstream casting,
waist-deep.

Black Maria.

Some years ago writer in the Eng fish Notes and Queries, writing about the name Black Maria" as applied to prison vans, quoted from periodical, presumably English, named the Mill lion, as follows.
 During the old colonial days Maria Lee, a negress. kept a sailors board ing house in Boston. She was a wom- an of gigantic size and prodigious strength and was of great assistance to the authorities in keeping the peace, as the entire lawless clement of that locality stood in awe of her. When ever an unusually troublesome person was to be taken to the station house the services of Black Maria, as she was called, were likely to be required. It is said that she once took at one time and without assistance three riot ous sailors to the lookup. Sc frequent ly was her help required that the ex- pression Send for Black Maria came to mean Take the disordcriy person to Jail! It is easy to see how the name became fixed to the prison van"

Careful Management in the Issue of
 Supplies.

The great number of acquisitions annually sent in from the post offices Of the country for the numerous ar ticles needed, amounting during the past year to something like 500 .000, demanded system and method for successful operation. This was not by the establishment of the central distributing office plan which pro vides offices selected with reference to their railroad or other mail trans portation, facilities for the territory to be supplied, embracing several counties, and to which the offices within this territory were to be tribu- tary. These depots are kept stocked under general acquisitions submitted at schedule periods to the Depart ment and shipped thereto from the Department or the contractor, usual Iy by freight in bulk, thus saving the long and expensive. mail hauls for merly necessary. These third and fourth class postmasters thus deal directly with their distributing cen ters instead of writing directly to the Department for every trifling need, and they ordinarily receive their sup plies within 24 hours, whereas by the old method, days and weeks were often necessary. Another advantage of this system is the supervision which these distributing offices can exercise over the character and amount of supplies to be furnished. Being in close touch, any tendency to over stocking or waste, so common by the old method is easily checked and prevented Distributing offices have taken on their added duties without increased force, and reports from the service generally indicate that the local supply points are both popular and practicable.
 The inauguration of the new sys- tenn has lessened the clerical force formerly required and may be ex- pected to produce still further eco- monies in that direction. The order ly and systematic method by which the stock is now kept in the Depart ment and by which articles called for upon acquisitions. can be readily assembled and checked of. time sav- ed, and errors avoided, Is part of this system and adds considerably to its general success The Department is gratified that present methods are so satisfactory, that vexatious delays no longer exist, but that all are striv- ing earnestly to do their part towards making their share of public duty &C., ceptable to the people whom they serve.

GREAT PROGRESS
 IS ACHIEVED IN | POSTAL SERVICE
Statistics Show Tremendous Volume of Business Accom-
 plished in Department.

The Division of Supplies is now one
 of the efficient organized forces of the Post Office department. It was not
 so, however, until the advent of this
 Administration. when the manage
 ment of this particular branch of the
 service passed into the hands of the
 present Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, of whose Bureau this Divi- sion is an important part. It deals directly with the postmasters | throughout the country, and it's duties are to see that they are properly and
 promptly supplied with the means of
 conducting the public business, the blanks, books. forms and various SUD- plies which the service requires.
 The 55,009 post offices in the United States naturally require an l enormous amount Of supplies with which to conduct the business of the i government. For instance, there will be required this year for the service 6sO,000 miles of twine, weighing D. 100000 pounds, enough to encircle the globe 27 times and which would fill 60 big freight cars; IS 900 gallons of ink and mucilage: more than a billion facing slips; and all other forms of supplies in corresponding magnitude. This Division alone has 1 90 tons of material in the way of SUD-
 plies in transit every working day of the year, practically all postal SUD- plies being now sent by freight, at an
 annual saving of approximately @ l quarter of a million dollars. When
 it is considered that the purchase
 control, and issue of all these SUD-
 plies is centered in the Department
 at Washington for the more effective supervision which such a vast busi-
 ness demands, in order that judicious economy may be considered in con-
 tract and purchase and discoverable
 waste checked in issue, it will be seer
 that, properly interpreted, this means
 unremitting attention and vigilance | on every hand, so t-lat all possible benefits may be secured from these
 wise and necessary provisions.
 Wasteful Extravagance Checked.
 Under the old custom which years
 of precedent had firmly established | it was the practice to honor all re- quisitions for supplies irrespective o1 character or amount. The conse- quence was that the government was annually put to an expense exceeding by many thousands of dollars the
 amount actually needed for the uses
 9f the service. This practice and the loose methods of business manage. | ment which were a part of this old system, were severely condemned ir

Airships and Altitude.

There are two ways of measuring altitude in a flying machine. One is by triangulation from the ground. which is an involved operation. reQuir- ing the services of several trained ex-' perts in the calculation of angles from different points on a measured dis, tance on the earth's surface. The sec ond and usual way is by means of a paragraph, which is a form of aneroid barometer that records altitude by means of atmospheric pressure. The latter method Is not as exact as the former, but is more expeditions and is approximately correct.
