Get busy! Get happy! 
Those two great qualities—vigor and cheer¬ 
fulness—stand out in American life. In less 
than a hundied years this American energy 
and optimism have populated hostile plains, 
reared skyscrapers, founded fortunes and 
made America the hope of the whole world. 
Anything that inspires these qualities in 
American men—anything that encourages 
wholesome cheer and generates useful 
energy is sure to be hailed with delight.

HI 
SES 
middle of the afternoon came the Spoilers of 
the Sea. Three snub-nosed, thick-set vessels, 
piled high with nets, owned by firms of fish deal¬ 
ers, manned by foreigners, came butting down 
the coast. They set their nets close to the shore 
and ran a quarter of a mile out to sea, sweeping 
in everything that came in their way. One of 
the boats must have scooped out a couple of 
tons of vellow-tail and white sea-bass, to be 
sold to the dealers at perhaps five or ten cents 
a pound, and to the people at twenty cents, 
thirty cents, whatever the dealers choose to ask 
for them. 
Those were the fish that would have spawned 
around the kelp-beds and gravel-banks of Cata¬ 
lina this spring and summer, providing a new 
supply of food for millions of people. Those 
were the fish that would have given good sport 
to thousands of Californians seeking their rec¬ 
reation in this ideal island. Those were the 
fish upon whose continuance and propagation the 
living of the Catalina boatmen—three times as 
many as the foreign net-haulers, must depend. 
What kind of a democracy is it that permits 
these Spoilers of the Sea to carry on their work 
of ruin? 
An hour after the nets were hauled, there 
was not a fish, large or small, along the shore 
of the island. Those that were not caught were 
scared away. At the time of the present writ¬ 
ing, three days later, they have not come back. 
Some year they will never come back; the 
spawning beds will be deserted; the Catalina 
fishing will be killed. 
For what? Not to benefit the people at large, 
for they have to pay the market-man’s price for 
sea food. Not to enrich even the foreign net- 
haulers, for they get only meagre wages. But 
simply to add to the profits of a few firms of 
fish-dealers, Spoilers of the Sea. 
How long will California permit this waste¬ 
ful work to go on? A bill is now before the 
Legislature to protect the fish within the three- 
mile limit from this destructive netting. It is a 
bill in the interest of all the state. It is a bill 
to save one of the great assets of California. 
The sooner it is passed by the legislature and 
signed by the Governor, the better it will be for 
everybody. 
Yes, it will be better even for the men with 
the nets. It will change them from Spoilers of 
the Sea, to legitimate market-fishermen.

NEW FLY CASTING REEL 
The new Pflueger-Golden-West fly-casting 
reel, brought out by the Enterprise Mfg. Com¬ 
pany of Akron, is something that anglers, once 
having seen, will purchase. It is of the finest 
quality, material and skilled workmanship and 
the makers claim that they have concentrated 
in this reel all the individual merits of other 
fly-casting reels. The price of the reel ranges 
from $5.25 to $7.25, according to the size. 
A MEMORY OF NESSMUK 
The new Marble knife described in a recent 
issue of Forest and Stream, has been named by 
the manufacturers, the “Woodcraft” hunting 
ki.ife, which brings to mind good old Ness- 
muk and his book of the same title. How 
Nessmuk would have rejoiced over this knife, 
and what nice things he would have said about 
it! The Marble Company has also revived the 
double-bitted camp axe, first made famous by 
Nessmuk. Both tools are in great demand and 
their sale this season something above the ordinary. 
LIKES THE MONTHLY 
Columbus, Ohio. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Your favor at hand explaining my subscription. 
While I would rather have had the weekly and 
paid the difference, I am not at all disappointed 
and think the monthly is a much better journal 
and surely ought to be appreciated by any one 
who is fortunate enough to get a copy. 
Wishing you continued success, 
M. A. BRIDGE.

Editor Forest and Stream: 
I have been a subscriber to your valuable 
paper many years and I heartily approve of the 
change you have made to the monthly. Think 
it far more attractive and much better reading 
than the weekly edition was.

the bill now. JOHN C. HARRIS.
