SOME DECKED IN JEWELS
Veteran Angler Tell Soma Choice
Fluhlnf Gossip and Clrea Tip on
Where the Tront and Salmon
Are lilting Jt Now.
BY W. K. BACKUS.
A fishing rrcl I a smsll circular
contrivance that fit the end of rod
ami l.i med to wind the line on. At
first glance It would seem that almost
anything that would hold the neces
sary amount of line, and turn eaatljr,
would answer the purpose, but not so.
There are at leant 140 different kinds
and sixes of fishing reel, all with a
rerlaln tvU and method of winding In
the unlucky fish. Including several pat
terns of automatic reels, which do their
awn winding umetlmee.
Home Have Jewel Hearings.
Tteela are made of almost any ma
terial brass, rubber, nickel, aluminum,
steel, gunmetal, German silver and
some of coin silver with real Jewel
bearings. Home are single action,
others quadruple multiplying-, while In
the automatic reels the action closely
resembles a condensed alarm clock.
The point Is. Which Is the best type
for actual fishing?
Tou pick up a fine new reel, with
Its shining- rubber plates and polished,
nickel bands, and give the handle a
twirl. It spins beautifully. It's true,
but how much good will that high
speed whirl do you oa a brushy trout
tresoiT
After considerable experience with
all sorts of reels, I am convinced that
the narrow spool, single-acting reel Is
the best type for all-around trout fish
ing. Ita spool being narrow and deep,
you ran wind In the line without giv
ing It any attention, and on account
of Its large diameter It will retrieve
the line Just as fast aa the average
multiplier.
Most single-action reela are of very
simple and sturdy construction. In
many patterns there are but two parte,
the frame and the spool, the latter
being held In place by a single large
rrew. There Is absolutely nothing for
the line to catch on but the small
winding handle, and It huge the spool
so closely that It la seldom In the way.
Aatomatle Reel 'et Were eery.
A reel of this type, fitted with a
strong, simple click, which, by the way,
should be used all the time, will give
you the greatest amount of service,
with the least trouble.
Many anglers are strong supporters
of the automatic reel for trout fishing.
As I have never actually used one, I
cannot speak from experience, but will
say that I never Intend to. Any time
that a fish Is too fast for my rod and
fingers, he le entiled to a clean get
away, and with my best wishes.
In fly fishing, the rod and the line
are the most Important factors. All
that Is required of the reel Is to take
rare of the line, and a reel such as I
hare described will do this admirably.
In bait casting, however, the order Is
reversed, and here the reel Is the key
stone. For this style of fishing a quadruple
multiplying reel, with a fairly wide,
free running spool and a raised balance
handle, la the proper thing. This Is
the standard type of reel used by bait
rasters all over the country. In our
vicinity, bass fishing Is not nearly so
popular as trout fishing, and for that
reason comparatively few of these east
ing reels are used here. Soma of the
finer grades of casting reels are works
of art. A firm In Kentucky ha been
building fine base reels for over to
years, and their best reel, made of hard
rolled silver with Jewelled bearings. Is
not alone a thing of beauty, but will
stand a generation of hard uee.
Price l anally la Modest.
Fly reels are usually quite modest In
price, but I recently saw one of F.ng
llHh make, built of aluminum alloy,
with a removable spool and adjustable
click, which. If bought at retail In this
country would not leave the purchaser
much change out of a l?0 bill.
Almost every day, during the salmon
fishing season at Oregon City, some
kind of hard luck story came floating
down from the falls. Always there
was some poor fellow who came to
grief, and came bark minus part of his
tackle, with a hasy Idea a to how large
salmon really get
But It remained for the saddest event
of all to happen last week. Dick
Colea has been one of the most per
sistent fishermen thl year, and he haa
but one object In view. He wanted to
get Just one really large salmon. Dur
ing the season he captured a number
of good fish. Including one weighing
20 pounds, but these didn't count. He
wanted a real fish.
Bis; Oat Cassee m4 Ooea.
Wednesday was his I2d trip for the
season. lie rowed carefully to the
deadline, anchored bis boat In Just the
right spot, let hi whirling spoon sink
Just the proper distance, and proceeded
to wait. It waa a warm, sunny day,
and Coles sat dosing away, wondering
how many more trips he could make to
the falls this seaaon, when suddenly
there came a tremendous pull from un
der water, then a crack Ilka a pistol
shot, and he came to Just In time to see
his broken Una and half his rod disap
pear In the blue depths. The long ex
pected big one had com and gone.
Now Coles Is offering a rewaTd for any
one rapturing a 16-pound salmon that
has 0 yards of perfectly good trolling
line attached.
Salmon fishing, by the way, la hold
ing out quite well. The flsh'are not
nearly so numerous as In the early
season, but a careful fisherman can still
get a good day'a sport at the falls and
will be able to until the middle of
June.
Of all the trout fishermen who make
rrgular weekly trips, Archie Tlbbetts
Is about the most consistent when It
comes to bringing home a good catch,
a week ago Monday ha brought In the
first basket of tha season. (0 fish that
ranged from 10 to 10 inches long. Of
course, all his fishing frlende Insisted
on knowing where the dsn came from,
some of them even threatening bodily
Injury If he failed to come through
with the Information.
Tlbbetta admits that the fish were
caught on a tributary of tho Cowltts
Itlver. but says It's such a hard trip
that few people would care to meke
It. So there you are.
Cpper Clear Creek. Just across from
Eatacada, has been yielding some good
catches of late. A party of four Port
land anglera Journeyed there last Mon

"It Made for Me!" He Shoots,
Trembling, and He Refuses to
Return Alone.
NEW YORK, June V There Is a
legend In the vicinity of Mornlngslde
Park that the ghost of a soldier who
was murdered In his tent Just before
the battle of Harlem Heights every now
and then makes a personally conducted
tour of the park. Many have vowed
that they bave seen the ghost and then
have signed the pledge. Others who
assert they have seen the nocturnal vis
itor have refused to swear off, saytng
they didn't see what difference It made.
Early the other morning I'ollceman
Cy Terwllllger. of the West On Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth-street station,
was on fixed poet at One Hundred and
Nineteenth etreet and Mornlngslde av
enue. Two blocks north Policeman Ed
ward Potter was obligingly holding a
team of horses while the driver lighted
his pipe. Terwllllger and Potter are
total abstainers.
As the driver lighted his pipe Potter
heard a yell and saw Terwllllger, cap
In hand, approaching him at a clip that
would have diecouraged Mercury. When
he reached the wagon he stopped and
leaned against a wheel and tremblingly
asked:
"Did you see thatT"
"No; what waa HT" asked Potter.
"The ghost. He came out of a base
ment near my post, made for me and
as he waa about to grab me sank Into
the ground!"
Potter was about to whtstla for as
sistance when the horses, which had
become very nervous, bolted. Potter
looked down the street, expecting to
see the Revolutionary spirit. Terwllll
ger waa still trembling and wiping per
spiration from his forehead when
Rergeant Hammel appeared. He asked
Terwllllger what he waa doing off
post Potter told him. aa the other was
so agitated he couldn't speak.
"You ought to change the brand," ob
served Hammel.
Thla brought Terwllllger around. He
swore by all the ghosts that he never
drank a drop, and he refused to return
to his post without the sergeant as
guard. Hammell accompanied him. Ter
wllllger pleaded not to be left alone
till his relief came, so the sergeant
stayed within call till the posts were
changed. The "ghost" did not walk
again, ao far aa Is known. Terwllllger
Is going to apply for a transfer to a
precinct that Is not noted for ghosts,
and he wants a day Job.

TRADE UNIONS THREATENED
IlrltUh Paper Snggents Making Aa
eociatlons Responsible.
LONDON. June 1. (PpeelaL) Much
is being written with regard to the
present labor unrest, and there Is, of
course, the attendant amount of free
advice offered to the Government as
to the best way of dealing with It. The
Dally Graphic which mentions that I
commercial Interests throughout the
country are alive to the fact that the
solo remedy for this state of affairs
rests in the repeal of the Trade Dis
putes Act. offers the opinion that so
long as trade unions are exempt from
liability for their actions, and so long
aa peaceful picketing enables them to
force their will on loyal workers, so
long will the country remain In danger
of having the modern blackmail strike
at any moment sprung upon It.
When trade unions are made legally
responsible for the acte of their offi
cials, and when their funds are put at
stake, there will be an Immediate end
to the strike without notice. Agree
ments between masters and men at
present not worth the paper on which
they are written will become as bind
ing as contracts are binding upon every
individual who enters Into one.

that Is to take place on the Fourth of
July at Las Vckss, when Jack Johnson
proceeds to demolish the hopes of that
courageoua white , hope, the Colorado
fireman, will be In San Francisco on
Monday next.
That, at least. Is the word that has
come to Jl-nmy Coffroth. Curley wrote
t'offroth Last week that he would be In
San Francleco on the date mentioned.
"If you are roing to be out of town."
wrote Curley, "be sure to let me know
where and I will coma to see you."
Evidently Curley Is in dire need of
ColTroth'o services. The Sunshine pro
moter hasn't a thing in the world so
far as the HKhtlng game Is concerned
for June and July, and the chances are
that he might be Induced to promote
the fight or at least lend his good name
to the enterprise.
Flakt .eede Sapeert.
And the Johnson-Flynn fight Is In
dire need of support. Tbe papers over
the country are not taking hold of tha
match as the promoters would like to
see and something must be done.
Judging from conditions, and you
don't hear very much gossip about the
fight, there will not be a baker's doten
attend from San Francisco or California,
so far as that Is concerned.
The match, or course, must draw
chiefly from the state of New Mexico,
but to make It a big whirlwind affair,
Curley needs to have his card mentioned
more frequently In the papers.
The bout Is entitled to be called
championship contest, since there Is a
championship concerned, but aside from
that, there Isn't much excuse for
boosting. ,
Speaking frankly, Flynn doesn't look
to have one chance In a million against
tha big black. Tou can't figure it any
other way and that sort of thing
doesn't encourage Interest In the bout.
Tha Banta Fe Railroad, which haa a

I notice also that the Governor of
New Mexico Injected himself Into the

prohibiting prise fights. The account
stated there was not murn of a chance

the slight Injuries he suffered against
Willie Ritchie have entirely disap
peared. There Is no question that Rivers will
be granted more or a chance because or

who will affect to believe that Wolg&st

whip hand in order to Influence the bet.

saw the four-round scrap will not sub
scribe to any such doctrine.
Wolgaat showed us his best and
while there are all sorts of arguments
as to his condition, certainly on the day
of the right Wolgaat waa not at his
best. Terhsps he needed to have this
right to put him Into shape, but the
betting wll be done largely on what
happened then and not what i may
think.
Ritchie, who Is now in New Tork, Is
making hay while the sun shines by
talking ot what ha did to Wolgaat.
Naturally, the San Franciscan Insists
that Wolgast Is as good as ever, and
lust as naturally he is claiming that
Wolgast is dodging him.
Or course Wolgast could hardly af
ford to take on a man or Ritchie's cali
ber before his Important battle on the
Fourth or July, but, no matter who la
the winner, that man must eventually
hook up with the San Franciscan.
Billy Nolan was In Ban Francisco the
other day, and filled our ears with the
talk of how well Abe Attell la getting
along In tha mountains and what a
difference that kind of life has made In
the former featherweight champion.
Nolan says that Attell has practic
ally been assured of a return bout w ith
Kllbsne In Los Angeles In September,
or sooner. In the meantime he will In
sist upon Abe taking Ufa quietly, and
finally will have the fighter work three
or four weeks In the gymnasium to get

FRENCH FEAR INCOME TAX
National Loans Will Probably Be
Kseanpt IVom Levy.
PARIS. June 1. (Special.) The Na
tional tear or that bugbear, an Income
tlx. talked about ror years and never
yet imposed since the first revolution,
will probably produce a unique state of
things financial In this country. The
government. In obedience to the pres
sure of public opinion, has decided that
when. If ever, the long-discussed meae.
ura of the Income tax becomes law.
French Rentes and French colonial
loans guaranteed by the state already
Issued will be by law exempt ror all
time rrorn the tax. Further Issues of
such stock may or may not be sub
ject to the Impost.
This decision Is due to prslseworthy
seal for consistency In slate finan
cial methods. The laws authorising
state loans specified before an Income
tax waa thought of that the Interest
on the cspltal borrowed should be paid
net end tree of all duty. Now that an
Income tax Is proposed. It Is contended
thst it would be a breach of trust to
levy such a tsx. or sny tax, upon the
dividends of French state loans, al
though at tl time that undertaking
waa entered into by the French state
the Income tax had not been heard or
thought or.
Hut. however blameless "the motives,
the decision must creste an extrsordl
nary financial situation In this coun
try, such ss Is known In no other. It
Is obvious that Investors msy escape
Income tax altogether on their capltul
by lending It to the French state. The
result will be prosperity and high quo
tations for French national credits, but
where will the Treasury come In? It la
argued that capitalists will always re
serve part or their attention to funda
bringing In over 3 per cent, but If
large masses of cspltal are Invested In
Rentes, and thus escape Income tsx,
the Treasury, to recoup Itself, will have
to raise the rte of taxation on other
securities again and agsln. with ths
result of driving buyers back to Rentes,
which, even st quotstions sbove par,
may eventually bring in more revenue
than 4S per cent stock If the latter
be heavily taxed. Thus the Treasury
will be In a great measure powerless to
squeese any Income tax at all out of
capital Invested In tbe money market:
but al the same time the Income tax Is
to supersede the present tenant's house
tax. and the Minister of Finance, with
a constantly Increasing budget, must
find ways and means somewhere. It
looks aa If the measure must weigh
beavlly upon all capital Invested In
other forms of property. In trade, and
tn business. A vhopowner obvlounly
will be unable to escape Income tax by
selling his shop snd Investing his ail
in Rentes. Altogether the prospect Is
pleassnt for the state's creditors, but
gloomy for owners of all other kinds
of property then Rentes.

ROMAN CEMENT WAS GOOD
Far Holler Than Any Modern Prod
net, l-".iirlll Kxpert Declares.
London Correspondence,
Twenty square reet or the Roman
wall at Caerwent has been demolished
by a natural movement or tha soil. An
accident or this kind seems to be the
only thing that In the natural cours
or events can really damage a Roman
wall, or which there are several hun
dred miles still standing In England.
An expert at the Iondon museum says
that the secret or their permanence is
the cement.
"We do not know the method of It
composition, but It Is far sounder than
any modern cement," he declares. "In
deed when some part of such a wall haa
to be dislodged It Is necessary to use
dynamite.
"All we know is that pounded tile Is
a considerable element In the cement.
For tho rest, Roman walls are built
with stone snd tile from a conorete bot
tom. "The finest specimen In England Is
the wall which crosses Northumberland
from about Newcastle to Carlisle, keep
ing along the rldgea of a series of
small hills which fall sheer to the north.
The facing of this wall la still In ad
mirable preservation In most part, snd
where tho hewn stone haa broken sway
you can see the Interior mass of rubble
and cement whl'-h form the stuffing.
"The damage to tho Caerwent wall
seems to have been the breaking away
of a length of the facing. One may
nractlcally say that Roman walls air
absolutely enduring, except for tha slip
ping of the subsoil. Nothing toucne
the cement; it Is harder than the stone
Itseir as a rule. Hut when the subsoil
gets moist and loosens, disasters to
the walls are natural accidents.
