PLANTING FISH IN CALIFORNIA STREAMS SOUTHERN WATERS RAPIDLY BE- COMING FAMOUS AS PARA- DISE FOR ANGLERS 36,000,000 YOUNG SALMON WERE TURNED LOOSE FROM THE SISSON HATCHERY LAST YEAR Sportsmen in Anaheim who periodically visit Little Bear Valley for the sake of its fishing will be interested in knowing that it is the intention of the state game commission to make that region one of the most famous fishing grounds in the world by protection and propagation. A number of private hatcheries are being put in by lessees, and Supt. Culver is this week inspecting them. Deputy Malone, in charge of fish and game work in San Bernardino county, reported to the commissioner that the lesses had informed him of their plan to "strip" wild fish in the streams tributary to Little Bear Lake, below these dams. This is illegal, and in order to see that no interference with the public's rights in natural propagation of trout comes about through any misunderstanding, the commissioner called in the expert, Culver, who has been inspecting the power companies' fishways and cleaning devises in Kern river, those having been damaged somewhat by slush ice requiring a replacement in spots. GREAT BRITAIN PAYS THE PRICE Great Britain is fighting for peace at any price. In doing this she is paying a price for restoration of peace unparalleled and even unapproached in the history of war. In the voting of an additional credit of $2,100,000,000, which Premier Asquith assured members would only serve to carry on the war until the end of May, it is possible to see the hard set of the bulldog's jaws on the proposition that, when the price of peace is war, the price must be paid. The price Great Britain is paying, or, rather, the price she must continue paying long after the war ends, almost staggers belief. The total credits voted since the war began, including the $2,100,000,000 voted last week, is $10,410,000,000. Before the war began, the total wealth of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was estimated at $80,000,000,000. The war debt, as far as now contracted, is more than 12½% of the total wealth of the nation. But the new war debt falls far short of representing all of the national debt of Great Britain. Before the war that debt was, approximately, $3,500,000,000. That debt had been funded at low interest rates, from 2 to 2½ per cent. But the new loans have been and can be floated only at much higher rates. The one being floated in this country is at 5 per cent. The interest and sinking fund charges the country must carry for a generation or more will be the most previous tax burden ever borne by a nation. Before the beginning of the war the United Kingdom was administered at an annual expenditure of $917,929,000. As government was being run before the war, expenditure was keeping pace with revenue. In 1912-13 expenditure did not fall $1,000,000 below revenue. One obvious duty in such an emergency will be drastic surgical treatment of a chamber of commerce posing an economic cage and German trade in them "more independent and commercial guard to the supply of stuffs, raw materials products, and enable with greater energy interests in the world. The character of a fish for such a union is should provide for a brief term of duration nations are to regular policy according and will act as a union of commercial countries. "In order possible," says the two governments must agree as to off iff which is to be used negotiations. This listed most succession of a common rule. The resolution gives the belief that mutt make it possible for to bring all their ec full development, in summing power of th their plan to "strip" wild fish in the streams tributary to Little Bear Lake, below these dams. This is illegal, and in order to see that no interference with the public's rights in natural propagation of trout comes about through any misunderstanding, the commissioner called in the expert, Culver, who has been inspecting the power companies' fishways and cleaning devises in Kern river, those having been damaged somewhat by slush ice, requiring a replacement in spots. "Without any desire whatever to interfere with anyone desiring to enter in to the trout farming business, of which this commission approves most heartily, we must insist upon absolute adherence to the law," stated Commissioner Connel last week. "The law providing for protecting the breeders in their natural reproductive runs is for everybody's benefit, likewise that enforcing strict inspection of all eggs brought in from outside the state. A large shipment from Colorado, recently imported, was rejected because the eggs were literally alive with fungus. Once let that get out in our streams and the splendid trout fishing that is rapidly making California famous the world over among anglers would soon be a thing of the past." Trout have become wonderfully plentiful in Little Bear Valley under the fish and game commission's protection and propagation program. The original plantings made in the Little Bear Creek have stocked the lake, it being the nature of the rainbow trout to run to the big waters and there attain a greater growth than in the streams, besides taking on the silvery scales and the red flesh that betray its kinship to the salmon. Commissioner Connell is now about to enter upon the expenditure of a goodly sum, $30,000, in benefiting Southern California fishing by artificial propagation upon a hard-headed business basis, and part of the protection program is to lend every possible encouragement to the natural efforts of the fish to reproduce themselves by the spring runs. To this end the fish and game commission in Northern California is blasting out certain obstructions in some of the headwaters of the larger rivers under an enabling act passed by the late legislature. The southern commissioner long has had the hope of eventually building up a salmon run in some of the splendid Southern California streams WASHINGTON AND NEUTRALITY President Wilson's attempt to preserve neutrality is an easy task compared with that which confronted Washington. At the outset of the French revolution all Americans sympathized with the struggle for liberty, owing to gratitude and to the belief that their victory had inspired their former ally. An old treaty granted rights similar to those which permit the Appam to remain in our waters now and pledged America to help France defend the West Indies. Conditions had abrogated the treaty, but French sympathizers strictly interpreted it and insisted on its fulfillment. Letters published long afterwards showed that Washington, earlier than any other leader in Europe or America, had forseen the reign of terror and the war with England. But more important than this he saw the future needs of the United States, then impoverished and otherwise weakened by the revolution. The mass of the people knew nothing of the duties of an independent nation. They were accustomed to fighting their enemies and helping their friends. They hated England and loved France. The very audacity of Genet, the French minister, in making incendiary speeches demanding American assistance, fitting out privateers in our waters and recruiting regiments to attack the English, aroused public enthusiasm. England stupidly increased Washington's burdens by an order in council that sinking fund charges the country must carry for a generation or more will be the most grevious tax burden ever borne by a nation. Before the beginning of the war the United Kingdom was administered at an annual expenditure of $917,929,000. As government was being run before the war, expenditure was keeping pace with revenue. In 1912-13 expenditure did not fall $1,000,000 below revenue. One obvious duty in such an emergency will be drastic surgical economy. Excrescences and parasites must be cut off and out of the body politic. Sinecures must be abolished and perquisites wiped out. Even then, taxes must be greatly increased, and if, as is likely, they are made to fall mainly on the rich, they may lead to the breaking up of great landed estates. The war itself still seems undecisive of anything. But at the end we may see that it was decisive of many things. The resolution gives the belief that mutually make it possible for to bring all their economic full development, in suming power of them er the cost of production, and win increasing share in merce. "It is easy that the monarchy and fire shall favor each matter to the greatest patible with a due protection of home interest for differences in production. Thorough ciliation of these difficulties for such purpose between the two countries must gradually be whenever possible, so that the resolution recieits it to be desired that union of the central recognized in the present other states, and that most favored nations be excluded at the time.

To this end the fish and game commission in Northern California is blasting out certain obstructions in some of the headwaters of the larger rivers under an enabling act passed by the late legislature. The southern commissioner long has had the hope of eventually building up a salmon run in some of the splendid Southern California streams such as the Ventura and Santa Ynez, in each of which 25,000 salmon were placed last fall. It will take four years for this experiment to bear fruit, as the fish will not return until after that interval, if at all. Almost 36,000,000 artificially propagated salmon were planted in California last year from the Sisson hatchery, salmon being a fish in which every consumer of foodstuffs in the state is interested, whether he pays a hunting and fishing license toward keeping down the price by keeping up the supply or not. It is planned to extend the hatchery operations and set a new high-water mark this year. All California is to have the heaviest plantings in the state's history. Superintendent of Hatcheries Shebley has moved his office to San Francisco, and Col. Lambson, formerly in charge of the Federal fisheries bureau work at Baird, on the McCloud river, is to conduct the Pride of California, the biggest hatchery in the world, at Sisson. General Crozier says it will need $400,000,000 to equip a government armor 'making plant and 750,000 men to run it. Why is it that men in the government service always are so careless with the way they use figures? And here is another man who is careless with figures.

Increase of du TRADE COMBINATIONS ARE BEING FORMED European Nations Preparing to Control the World's Business American producers and manufactures are deeply interested in the movement on foot among the warring nations of Europe to control trade after the close of the war. There has already been much discussion of the preparations on foot in England. A recent development was the unanimous adoption of a resolution by the chamber of commerce of Vienna proposing an economic union of Austrian and German trade interests to render them "more independent of their political and commercial opponents in regard to the supply of necessary foodstuffs, raw materials, and industrial products, and enable them to defend with greater energy their commercial interests in the world market." The character of a treaty providing for such a union is thus outlined: it should provide for the longest possible term of duration. The contracting nations are to regulate their commercial policy according to a unified plan and will act as a unit in the negotiation of commercial treaties with other countries. "In order to make this possible," says the resolution, "the two governments must first come to an agreement as to the customs tariff which is to be used as a basis for negotiations. This will be accomplished most successfully by the adoption of a common tariff system." The resolution gives expression to the belief that mutual support should make it possible for the two nations to bring all their economic powers to full development, increasing the consuming power of the population, low- THE GAZETTE has a large and bona-fide circulation.

Why should the president and his sec- The resolution gives expression to the belief that mutual support should make it possible for the two nations to bring all their economic powers to full development, increasing the consuming power of the population, lower the cost of production, specialize industry, and win for themselves an increasing share in international commerce. "It is especially desirable that the monarchy and the German empire shall favor each other in tariff matters to the greatest extent compatible with a due regard for the protection of home industries, allowing for differences in the conditions of production. Through careful reconciliation of these differences the necessity for such protection (that is, between the two contracting powers) must gradually be lessened, and whenever possible, set aside." Finally, the resolution recites: "Especially is it to be desired that the commercial union of the central powers shall be recognized in the peace treaties with other states, and that every claim to most favored nation treatment shall be excluded at the outset." The proposal to exclude claims of other countries to any benefits under this commercial union, on account of the most favored nation treatment, is particularly significant as marking a step in the direction of the American policy of interpreting commercial treaties. In Europe, a treaty extending benefits to a particular nation, ipso facto, extends them to all others, under the most favored nation clause. The American interpretation of such treaties requires that for a third party to enjoy similar benefits it must make similar concessions. It was under the European interpretation that the treaty which Austria effected with Prussia in 1853, reducing import duties, resulted so disastrously for the former because it gave England equal benefit in the Austrian market, without any quid pro quo. Furthermore, the resolution indicates the disposition of Austria to double up with Germany for commercial team work. The two countries must be allies in commerce, with peace declared, as they are now in war. These are the combinations which chemicals and other products of infant American industries created by the blockade of German exports. Increase of the revenue from the income tax either by raising the rate or reducing the exemption. Mr. Wilson also has been giving his attention to the question of the establishment of a tariff commission which is being urged anew by republicans and progressives as a means of removing the tariff from politics. INTER-CITY RELAY RACE An inter-city relay race between the high school athletics of San Diego and Los Angeles, the course to be from Los Angeles to San Diego, is a feature suggested for the San Diego exposition athletic program. The proposer of the scheme is George James, one of the foremost Pacific coast athletes, who has served as a member of the registration committee of the Pacific Athletic Association and who, for the last five years, has represented the far western association at the annual meetings of the Amateur Athletic Union. According to James' plan, each boy is to run one mile. That the inter-city relays are feasible was proved when a Sacramento to San Francisco relay was run as a feature of the last Portola festival. The runners were stationed all along the route and a fleet of automobiles was utilized in picking up the runners as they finished, and for carrying their clothes and other necessaries. This race will be on the state highway and the runners will pass through Anaheim. WANTS TO LAY MORE PIPE State Railroad Commissioner Loveland presided Wednesday morning at a hearing of the petition of the Southern Counties Gas company to lay additional pipe lines in Orange county. The petition was fought by attorneys for the West Coast Gas company, which operates in the territory to which the petitioner desires access. Residents of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach are taking considerable interest in the affair, as it is to those municipalities that the new lines will be laid, if the petition is granted. According to F. R. Balm, reasons, however, will not suffice. A curious public it likely to look for more hidden contributing causes. Even cursory persusal of the extensive correspondence on the subject of military policy, now made public, encounters several obscure points. Why should the president and his secretary of war be interchanging lengthy epistles to explain their position to one another when their offices are separated only across the street, and they are supposed to be constantly in intimate touch through personal conference? Has the president become so inaccessible to his own cabinet ministers that they must write formal letters in order to command his attention? Also noticeable is the absence, in the resignation and in its acceptance, of those polite expressions of regret and assurance of fond remembrance and deep appreciation of past association and mutual service. There is scarcely so much as the exchange of verbal bouquets and the "God bless you" that accompanied the Bryan exit from the official family. In a word, the final severance of relations in the case of Mr. Bryan, looks like the culmination of a long series of intolerable positions in which these gentlemen found themselves as the result of the president's treatment of them. It must be his self-styled one track mind, which cannot run smoothly with any other mind that has an individuality of its own. While the president will, of course, succeed in reconstructing his cabinet, the break emphasizes the utter lack of team work, essential to administrative efficiency and successful steering of the ship of state. MOTHER SEEKS TO ANNUL HER DAUGHTER'S MARRIAGE Thinks a Girl of Thirteen Is Too Young To Become a Wife Love on a ranch, which culminated in the elopement and marriage of a girl said to be less than 13 years old, was brought to light by the filing of a suit for annulment of the marriage in the superior court. The girl in question is Francisca Martinez Castro, who is alleged to Prussia in 1853, reducing import duties, resulted so disastrously for the former because it gave England equal benefit in the Austrian market, without any quid pro quo. Furthermore, the resolution indicates the disposition of Austria to double up with Germany for commercial team work. The two countries must be allies in commerce; with peace declared, as they are now in war. These are the combinations which American producers must meet. Armed with what? The Underwood tariff law and a democratic administration? No! With a republican commonsense administration, and a scientifically drawn protective tariff law. WILSON WANTS HIGHER TARIFF President Wilson has decided to propose a revision of the existing tariff law by the present congress. Mr. Wilson concedes the advisability of revising the taric upward, as demanded by the republicans ever since the country began to feel the grip of hard times following the enactment of the Underwood law embodying the democratic conception of downward revision. The president, however, does not intend to permit revision as far upward as his opponents desire. He is not committed at present to a complete revision of the tariff. He contemplates proposing changes in only a few schedules. It is not unlikely that the principal amendments recommended will be the following: Retention of a duty on sugar, which under the existing law goes upon the free list on May 1, next. Restoration of a duty on raw wool, which under the existing law is admitted free. Increase of duties on dyestuffs, a hearing of the petition of the Southern Counties Gas company to lay additional pipe lines in Orange county. The petition was fought by attorneys for the West Coast Gas company, which operates in the territory to which the petitioner desires access. Residents of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach are taking considerable interest in the affair, as it is to those municipalities that the new lines will be laid, if the petition is granted. According to F. R. Bain, president of the Southern Counties Gas company, delegations from the beach cities have frequently requested that company to supply their wants. These delegates, Mr. Bain stated, allege the service maintained at present is unsatisfactory, and are heartily in accord with the petition for permission to lay the new lines. "When pressure grew strong," said Mr. Bain, "we went to the West Coast Gas company and offered to buy its system at a price considebarly greater than it was worth. The company refused. I understand the municipalities have issued bonds to cover the installation of complete distributing systems and we do not anticipate any great difficulty in securing permission to serve them." THE CABINET UPHEAVAL The abrupt retirement of Secretary of war Garrison from the cabinet board naturally causes surprise and wonder as to what it is all about. On the surface it would seem to be the result of a disagreement between the president and his war secretary on the question of the preparedness program stimulated by the dissatisfaction of Mr. Garrison with the acquiescence of the president in distasteful Philippine legislation. These impelling THINKS A GIRL OF THIRTEEN IS TOO Young To Become a Wife Love on a ranch, which culminated in the elopement and marriage of a girl said to be less than 13 years old, was brought to light by the filing of a suit for annulment of the marriage in the superior court. The girl in question is Francisca Martinez Castro, who is alleged to have eloped Nov. 12 with Tranquillino Castro. According to the complaint, the couple were married in Santa Ana Nov. 12, 1915. She probably is the youngest bride who ever figured in the local courts if the allegations in the complaint are sustained. A peculiar angle to the case is that it is the mother of the bride and not the bride herself, who seeks the ennulment. The plaintiff is Mrs. Felippa Ortiz, mother of the girl. She asks that the marriage be annuled and that her daughter be ordered into her custody. According to Charles M. Ackerman, attorney for Mrs. Ortiz, the latter lives on a ranch between Cudahy station and Huntington Beach. Castro, who is said to be 22 years old, worked on a neighboring ranch. The young couple are said to be living together, apparently happy. The complaint recites that when the couple eloped to Santa Ana the groom gave the name of Francisco Castro and the girl as Frances Martinez.

No temporary question arising from our foreign relations will be the republican paramount. The recent debate in congress shows that our relations with Europe are not the subject of party division there. They will not be in the country at large, and the party that tries to force such an issue will be justly rebuked. Nor is it likely that the party will abandon the Sherman act and take up with the persistently advocated state socialism scheme of trust regulation to which Mr. Perkins is so devoted. The war has raised two issues which demand attention. One is the protection of the American home market against a flood of foreign products. It would be folly to intrust that protection to a party which solemnly declares "it to be a fundamental principle that the Federal government, under the constitution, has no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue''. We cannot ask officials to commit perjury, which democrats would have to do it if they dealt with the situation as it must be dealt with.
