SAVE THE SALMON. Superintendent Woodbury Talks About the Close Season, He Will Fight the Proposition to Set the Season Back to the Middle of September. J. G-. Wbodbury, Superintendent of Hatcheries and the Restoration of Fishes and Secretary of the State Board of Fish Commissioners, is iv the city, and will appear before the Senate Committee on Fish and Game Laws to-day to tight the proposition to have the close salmon sea son extend from the middle of Septem ber to the Ist of November of each year. There is before the Legislature a peti tion bearing about 5,000 signatures pray ing that this change bo made, and the matter will be considered by the commit tee to-day. Mr. Woodbury was interviewed by a Record-Union reporter last evening with reference to his mission. "We have no one here to defend us," he said, "with the exception of myself. I telegraphed to J. D. Redding and Ramon Wilson, but I am afraid they cannot get here in time. But I will do the best I can in the matter. This move to have the close salmon season commence in the middle of September WILL BE A DISASTROUS ONE, If successful, to the salmon supply of Cal ifornia. And, strange to ssiy, the can nery people are the ones who are backing it. They are only cutting their owii throats. Their argument is that after the middle of September the salmon are not good to eat, and they are willing that tho season should then be closed. If this is true, then why should we perpetuate that kind of salmon? They also claim that by closing the season at the end of Au gust many fishermen and others are thrown out of work. But if their peti tion goes through, and the close season is changed, it will only be a short time when they will have no work to do at all. The salmon will bo depleted." Coutinuing.iMr. Woodbury said that he •was willing to accede to the canneries and fishermen the month of September, but he would insist upon August being the close st-ason. He also wanted tho month of April included. WHY IT SHOULD BE. "The spawning time at the Govern ment hatchery on the MeCloud Hirer for the great run of salmon in the lato sum mer and fall is principally during tho month of September," he said; "it usually opens about tho 2.Sth of August and continues until the latter part of September. '•The vital points of the question in con sidering the timo for the dosQ season are: At what time should the close season be gin at tho fishing grounds on the lower Sacramento EUver, and how long should it last in order that enough breeding salmon from the groat run during the months of August and September may reach the United States hatchery on the Mcdood River, during the month of September, to furnish sufficient eggs for the artificial hatching of young tisi» for distribution on the nursery grounds to maintain the supply of mature salmon for food, which the rivers for nursery grounds and ihe ocean for feed till the salmon are matured, are capable of pro ducing? NOW AND THEN. "Ten yours ago, daring the administra tion of B. B. Redding, s. R. Thoekmor ton and J. D. Far well as Fish Commis sioners, as many as 14,000,000 of salmon eggs were taken daring the month of Sep tember from the fall run of salmon. The close season at that time was during the month of August. The close season is now, and luis been for some years since, during IJiu month of September. Tho Government hatchery on ihe MeCloud River renewed its operations in 1888. The number of eggs taken In September, 1888, | was only about 1,500,000; and in 1889, only about 1,100,000 eggs; or, averaging for the two years. le>s than one-tenth as many eggs as were taken ten years ago, j when the close season was during the j month of August. This is a loss of 90 | per <-ent. "For what cause, or by whose agency the close season was changed from the j month of August to the month of Sep- I tember, Ido not know. It was certainly a very disastrous change, If the interests of the salmon were considered. "Muring the last Legislature, in 18S8, a bill was introduced by some one— from Solano County, I believe—to change the present close season for salmon from the month of September to the month of | October. If tain bill had become a law, the dose season would have been pushed entirely beyond the season of the great run of salmon. "Give them an inch and they will take an ell," if they can get it. It is of the utmost importance that the close season should be placed back again to tho month of August. If more sain ion do not reach tho McCloud River during the month of September than have arrived there during the past two years, .serious consequences will happen to the salmon industry of California. CHANGE IT BACK. "By changing the close season for sal mon back again to the month of August, it can easily be determined if the run of salmon has lessened during the past ten years. If as many salmon do not arrive there during August and September as did ten years ago, or if an Insufficient number got up during that period from which to secure the number of eggs nec essary for artificial reproduction, then it ■will be imperative to include part or the ■whole month of September in the close season, in addition to the month of August." Before closing tho interview*, Mr. Woodbury showed the reporter a copy of a letter received by him from George B. Williams, Superintendent of the McCloud River station which bears on the subject materially. Following is an extract from it: St'PKRINTENPEXT WILLIAMS' OPINION. Two years of experience in charge of this station on the McCloud lias convinced mo that unliss M>me action is taken by tlie Eegialatarc ami those Interested in the propagation of s;ilmon as a l'ood fish, to include the month. or August aa well ns that of September in the (!"«■ stuMin, not many years will elapMi vrheu this valuable food listi will become almost ex tinct. On account of the high water we are liable to Jinvc at this point during tho sjirin^ and late full runs it is impracticable to secure and spawn I)y artificial methods the part :it lish; but theAuKiist run eomesM a tiiiu> when it can be handled successfully. In order to al low this run to reach the headwaters of the Sacramento River and Its tributaries, the months of August and Beptember should be reserved to allow !i ireo passage Of salmon. I draw my conclusions from the feet tluit In previous years, when there wiis no fishing ■with seines In the Sacramento to speak of, thou sands of salmon collected here during the lat ter part of August and during the month of September, and we found no difficulty In se curing all the eggs we could handle, 14.000, --000 on baling been taken In one season. From the August run in ISSS but 1,565,f>00 egga wens secured, and in 18S9 1,105,000 were taken. In 1888 die season's take was Increased to 5.604,600, by securing ova from the late run In October and November. Hut this was something unusual, and could not have been accomplished hnd it not been that the rains did not set in until December of that year. An attempt was made In 1889 to take the late run, but rains, in October caused the Z-'.n load to become very high, and rucks and dams were washed out. allowing the parent lish to ascend the river and small creeks tibove the station. Ii is very hard to decide how Ion? it takes the salmon to reach their spawning grounds after they leave the seining grounds of the lower Sacramento, but as near as we can tell from two to three weeks. .*. AMUSEMENTS. The Stoen-Wood Novelty and Mystery Company gave its third performance at the Metropolitan Theater last night. Mr. Wood presented a varied and clever pro gramme of modern magic and ventrilo quism, and "Edna"' repeated her "flight in the air." The oftener this beautiful mechanical trick is seen the more puzzling it appears. Certainly nothing neater has been given here in that line, and it is infinitely superior to Herman's black-backgrounu performance, which created so much interest here a few years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Stoen gave a mind reading and second-sight entertainment, in which Mr. Steen very plainly tokl the audience that ho communicated to the blindfolded lady i\ll the information she announces; that he does so despite any watching by the committee or the audi ence, and that in every word he utters there is a key which the "medium" understands. But he did not claim that her announcements of birth dates, names thought of, etc, are explainable in alike manner. Her performance is altogether wonderful, ana even as a trick is surprising and of profound interest. The committee last evening consisted of Messrs. Boysen, Cooper, Peterson, Wissman, Hammer and Zeirner, and it confessed Its inability to delect tho method of the operators in their work. To-night a change of programme. BALLOT REFORM. A Senate Committee Investigating tho Australian System. There was a largo numl>er of Legisla tive Committees in session last night at the Capitol, but those which had matters of more than ordinary interest before them failed to arrive at definite results. The Senate Conimitteo on Elections held a long and interesting session. The chief subject considered was ballot re form, in regard to which there are several bills before tho committee. Senator Ostrom has one. Senator Longford ha;s another, and mere are still others. The bills all ditl'er more or less in their de tails, but tho main feature of each i.s based on the Australian ballot system. Judge James G. Ifaguire, of Ban Fran cisco, appeared before tho conimitteo last night and explained the workings of the- Australian system, at tho same time dis cussing the various inodications thereof, and amendments contained in the bills under consideration. The committee was in session until a late hour without having arrived at any definite conclusion regarding the kind of bill to bo reported. It will probably de cide upon a committee substitute for them all, embracing some of tho features of each. COLUSA NIGHT. The Opponents of Glenn County Swoop Down on the Capiiol. An Animated Conimitteo Meeting-, But tho Chairman Betnsetf to Work All Xight. Tho atmosphere of Colusa pervaded rill the corridors and many of tho committee rooms in tho Capitol building last night. Reporters, searching for advance legisla tive tips, would no sooner poke their heads into a committee-room than they would cither see a-t'olusa, statesman or granger addressing the committee, or hear some Senator or Assemblyman from another county declaiming vehemently on a Colusa subject. The Assembly Committee on Elections was engaged at the north end of the build ing in taking testimony in the Campbell- Eakle contested election case; at tho south end of the building editor Green, of the iS'ini, was explaining to the Senate Committee on Irrigation the merits or de merits of certain bills before that body affecting irrigation interests generally, and those of Colusa particularly. .Near the center of the Capitol the large room of Department Two of the Supreme Court was rili<-d with Colusa County peo ple, chiefiy farmers, who had come to testify before the Senate Committee on Counties and County Boundaries against tin- proposed division of that county. These horny-handed sons of toil were marshaled under the leadership of Gen eral John Boggs, with A. 11. Rose and L. F. Moulton us Field Marshals. One afnr another the representatives of the bucolic districts of Colusa were called up by Mr. Boggs and required to tell the committee how long they had lived there and why they were opposed to a division of the county. After about fifty gentlemen had thus freed their minds, tiie members of the <•'immitt.ee began to weary of tho mo notony, and Chairman Camp bell, of So lano. suggested that all hands go to bed and resume the subject at 9 o'clock in the morning. But Mr. Boggs had not got through, lie had been reserving his heavy artillery with which to t>ut on the finishing touches—to give the coup dc grace, as it were, to the lusty young Glenn county giant that had been for so long a time worrying tho good people of the southern half of < oiusa. So lie called up Colonel L. F. Moulton, who told of his thirty-livoiniU-s ot' levee along the Sacramento riVer, and how he did not want it cut in two by a county boundary line. Again the chairman called a halt, and the Glenn County representatives present said they would admit that all Of Mr. Boggs' forces present were antj-dlvision ists. But Mr. Boggs pleaded fora few minutes for Mr. Rose to speak, and Chairman Campbell said (it was then 10 o'clock) ho Mould give him just ten minutes. And Mr. Rose took tho full time. Then Mr. Boggs asked to be allowed to address the committee, but the Solano Senator declared he would not listen to another word. Be was tired —worn out, in fact—and if Mr. Boggs or any other Colusaite wanted to be heard be would have to come before the committee the next morning and do his talking. Mr. Campbell th*»n adjourned his com mittee until v o'clock this morning. .PUSHING MATCH. Hall ana Mi-lluffU Enornco In a Very Novel' pDOtest. The t'omique Theater was packed last night, the attraction being a glove con test between H;ill,the local colored cham pion, and Pat Mcllugh, a -white importa tion from San Francisco. >«"either of the men displayed any science in "the art of self-defense or gentlemanly attack," and for ten rounds the audience was greatly unused by the endeavors of each lo hyp notize the other. After the tenth it became exciting. In the sucfeeding round McHngh shoved Hall through the ropes and off the stage into the audience As Hall did not get back into the ring inside of the prescribed ten seconds, a great howl went up from the white man's adherents that th" tight be given to their man, and when the referee showed signs of wavering, the crowd broke into the ring. It required the ef forts of half a dozen police oiiiecrs to re store order, after which the referee or dered the "i-outosf to proceed. \ From now on it degenerated into a pushing match, ouch contestant exerting himself to shove the other off the stage. McHngh was the best pusher, and in the tiltcenth round landed Hall out into the audience again. Then there was another howl and din. When the referee could make himself heard he declared the "contest" a draw. BRIEF NOTES. The authorities have been unable to find any trace of Dunlap, the convict who recently escaped from the Folsoin Peni tentiary. John Murray was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant char-ring him with disturbing the peace. The com plaining witness is Murray's wife. John Mullen, who for nearly twenty years was Roadmaster for the Southern Pacific Company between this city and Calistoga. died on his ranch near \ allejo last Wednesday. He was a native of Ire land, and 57 years of age. Bkadycrotijte cured headaches for T. D. Tinsley, Macon, Ga. SACRAMEOTO DAILY RECOBD-UyiOy, THTBSDAY, JAXTJAEY 29, 1891.—SIX PAGES. "JUSTICE" LOVEJOY. Something of Interest About His Ca reer on the Bench, He Was Not a Resident of Folsom— Xobody Knew He Was a Candidate. The good citizens of Folsom are some what exercised over the erroneous state ment that Thomas Lovejoy, who was arrested at that place, Tuesday, for grand larceny, was a Justice of the Peace of Folsom. Neither Lovejoy nor Kelly, the man who claims that "his Honor" robbed him, are residents of Folsom, but of Mis- sissippi Township. A resident of Folsom, in writing of the affair to the Record-Union* says; "Be it said to the credit of the citizens of Missis- sippi Township that they were not aware that Lovejoy was a candidate for Justice of the Peace of that township until after tho election was over. In fact, he was the only candidate. He 11ECEIVED THREE VOTES And that was all. There was no opposi tion. Mississippi Township is really en titled to two Justices of the Peace, but none aro ever elected, all of the business being done at Folsom. On several occa sions somebody has been elected Justice of the Peace of that township for a joke— parties putting the name ol some friend on their tickets—but no one has evef qualified. Folsom is so near, and the '.acilities'better, that the suits are always brought here. '"Lovejoy," continues the correspond ent, "could get no one to go on his bonds cither in his township or in Folsom. But lie found somebody in Sacramento who evidently DID NOT KNOW HIM As well as wo up here, for they went on his bonds for him. Lovejoy's first act ;.iu c getting into office was to have somo Inoffensive Chinaman arrested, but no Folsom officer would servo his papers, and be was obligee! to swear in some wil ling tool. Folsom is willing to bear her just share of the county's disgrace, but does not wish to bear any more." Justice Lovejoy was brought down from his township yesterday by Deputy Constable Alter, and taken before Justice of the Peace Starr, of this city. Lovejoy announced that ho hail retained Charles T. Jones as his attorney, and that the lat ter would not be ready to go on with the examination for a couple of days. Justice Starr set the examination for February 7th, and fixed Lovejoy's bail at $1,000. After passing a few hours in the County Jail "liU Honor" secured bail, his bonds men being Frank Rhonda and C. Fiske. DISAGREEABLE AND DEVASTATING. Sergeant Unrwlck Dilates Upon tho Prevailing Norther. Tho Signal Service reports in this city yesterday show a high, dry, disagreeable and devastating northerly wind; it reached a maximum velocity (on numer ous occasions) of 34 miles per hour; the dust llew in all directions and in every conceivable crack and cranny that was visible, soiling goods of all descrip tions, kinds and character. The barometer is lowest in California and highest in Oregon and" Washington. The readings at 5 a. m. and 0 p. >i. in this city of that Instrument were 29.82 and 29.97 inches, showing a slight rise, and a decrease in the velocity of the wind. Tho temperature at 5 a. m. and 5 p. m. was 48° and 57°, while tho highest and lowest was 00° and 44 U. The highest and lowest one year ago yesterday was 58° and ob D, and one year ago to-day 57° and 42°. There was a snow-storm yesterday east of the Rocky Mountains, from Cheyenne and Denver to North Platte, at the'same lime a rain-storm was prevailing through out Iowa; a rather remarkable occurrence for this month and in that State. AFTER THE SOIREE. A Colored Woman C.'hni"ges her Hus- bund With Battery. Mrs. Clara Williams, a colored lady, living on N street between Fifth and Sixth, intends to make her husband ex plain what right, if any, ho had to dic tate to her as to where she should go, and forcibly attempt to take her to his house. Mrs. Williams and her husband attend the same church and go to tho so cials given in the basement of the African M. E. Church, on Seventh street between Gand H. After the festivities are over, the wife goes to her home, and Mr. Williams hies himself in an opposite direction to his domicile. The two live apart, but have not boon divorced. Several evenings ago, according to the story told by Mrs. Williams, see had started from the church for home when her husband approached her and de manded that she accompany him to his house. She refused, and, she claims, he caught hold of her and attempted to drag her. lie afterwards released his grasp ana allowed her to go as she pleased. Mrs. Williams considers that her hus band was altogether too violent towards her, and she has sworn to a complaint charging him with the crime of battery. «t» They are st!U Laboring to Establish the EOxiy-CSoslßg System. S. 11. Thompson, Chairman of the com mittee appointed by tho Clerks' Early- Closing Union, to canvass among the clothing merchants, received a letter yesterday signed "A K-street Clothing Dealer," who stated that he did not pro pose to dose-his store because one Ze mansky, who conducted a second-hand establishment on X street, had refused to sign the agreement. Mr. Thompson called on Zemaasky, who stated that he traded only in second-hand articles, and that if any dealer in new clothing ob .!• eted to his (Zemaaaky) keeping open after 6 o'clock, ho wouid close up and start a fruit stand. The <:i:ivassing committees have been informed that a number of clerks, who ought to be in sympathy with the early closing movement, are endeavoring to induce certain merchants who signed the agreement, to admit customers into their stores after (i o'clock. Tlioir re quests have not been complied with, how ever by tht. dealers. TRAVELING EXPENSES. Commissioners of an Insane Asylum Advised by the Attorney-General. Attorney-General Hart rendered an opinion yesterday on the question as to whether or not the Commissioners of the Southern California State Asylum for In srme, are entitled to draw from the gen eral fund money expended by them in traveling. Ho says: "My idea is that when the general ap propriation bill was passed two years ago, provision for the payment of "these Commissioners was overlooked; and al though these bills are just and should bo paid, there is a deficiency, and the claims should be sent to the Legislature for the purpose of submitting to it the question whether or not a bill should be passed aft a deficiency bill, providing for the pay ment of these Commissioners and I ad vise that that course be taken." BELLIGERENT LITIGANTS. A Lively Chase on I Streef from a Jus tice's Court. "I'll pull every hair out of her head," muttered Sarah Ann St. Clair, as she ran out of Justice Henry's Court yesterday afternoon and turned up I street toward Seventh, in which direction Mrs. Plettig was hastening. Mrs. Plettig had just preceded Mrs. St Clair up I street, and THE CLERKS. judging from the pace she set, she an ticipated a chase from Mrs. St. Clair. The ladies were plaintiff and defendant respectively in a suit for %l\ —Mrs. St. C'hur occupying the position of plaintiff and Mrs. Plettig defendant. They were not ready to go on with the case, so it was continued. What the row was about nobody seemed to know. But as soon as tho case was continued both made a bolt for tho street as described above. Mrs. St. Clair overtook tho enemy at Seventh street, and pushed her ofl' the sidewalk. She was about to follow up her advantage, when Mrs. Plettig again took to her heels, this time with more speed than before, and soon distanced her pursuer. Lawyer Brown's "Speculation." A couple of months ago, Mrs. Eliza Clark erected upon her premises on Ninth street, between E and F, a build ing, tho oaves of which protruded over property adjoining, which belonged to J. A. Lefavor.' The latter brought suit and recovered §114 damages. The woman refused to pay the money, her property was ordered sold, and Jay Brown bought it for the face of the judgment. He now brings suit against Mrs. < 'lark to recover possession of the property; also sIUO dam ages, rent at the rate of fft) per month, and costs of suit. The property is prob ably worth several thousands of dollars. Police Court. The taking of testimony in the exami nation case of M. Oppenheim, charged with threats against tho life of his wife and father-in-law, was conclude! in the Police Court yesterday, and the Court took the case under advisement until to day.
