Spsugli late chairman of the populist state central committee, has experienced a radical change of opinion. Ho now declares that there should be a general fusion of free silver populists, domo- iats and republicans, instead of "middle of the road" policy. His let ter to to Uiat effect was published in the Hiilmn Post last week, and in ac cordance with those views a new pop ulist conveotion bus been called for Lane county, to place a union ticket io the field. grants from the United States." The paper is a four column folio, set fou teen ems measure, and on the first page is contained the organ 10 laws of Oregon territory with amendments, The Oregon Spectator was the product of a printing association with VV.

Com plaint comes to this office that parties in the vicinity of Bunker Hill have been killing deer in violation of the stale game law. We are not informed as to who the parties are, but thev should remember that the killing of deer at this time is a violation of the statutes and punishable by a heavy penalty. It is the duly every person know mg of the violation or the game law to report the same In the proper authorities, whose duty it is to see that the guilty parties do not go unpun ished. A word to the wise is sulllciot. Salmon Chinas Cash. From two to seven tons of salmon are being hipped from this place each day to down-river canneries. The price paid is 4 cents per pound, which moans the distribution or considerable money among the laborers of this vicinity. Besides that which is shipped down the river, a large amount is also sent to Portland fioin St. Helens and along the slough and the Columbia directly tribntary to this place. Why not a cold storage establishment here in stead of shipping tho fish off to other places where the principal profit is madef Rkoatta Meeting. At a meeting lield last Monday evening to further consider the proposition of having a regatta here this summer the special com mil tee previously appointed re Itorted a considerable sum already sub scribed. Another special committee was appointed to confer with the Port land and Astoria yacht clubs in regard to the matter. While it ia true the amount subscribed, as reported by the committee, is considerably abort of what it should bo, the principal short age is in public spirit. The regatta could be made a success it people only thought so, and to that end en list their services. Ilia Name ii Pants. The story comes from Stockton that a comely young Miss of 22 summers and winters appeared at the county olork's office recently and applied for a marnaae li cense, produced 12 from the depths of lier bloomers in payment thereof and immediately led to the altar a timid youth named Fred Pants, thereby completing a pair of pants, says the Merced Sun. It is the earnest wish of all that these psnts will not bag at the knees or wear out in the place most used, and that life will bold nothing but Joy and prosperity for the young lady who has the nerve to so aggressively use nur loap year prerog atives. ' Prrby Scott Dead. The steamers Telophon! and Bailey Galzert were carrying their flags at half mast last Tuesday, and upou inquiry it whs learned that Psrry Scott, brother of Captain U. B. Scott, was dead. Perry Scott has for many years been engaged as engineer on river steamers in tbis district. He was a native of Ohio, and at the time of the breaking out of the civil war, was master meobanio of the Erie railroad. He resigned this position to eulist in the service of the government and for a long time was chief engineer on a gun boat. After the olose of the war Perry and U. B. Scott came to Oregon and built the first successful light draught steamer that ever plied tho Willamettee river. It was the Ohio, now known as the Salem, having in later years been re built by William Keid. Later on they built other steamers among thorn be ing the Telephone, Fleetwood, Flyer and City of Salem. The life of Perry Scott has been one of activity. The First Newspaper. A few days ago a gentleman handed us a copy of the first number of tho first newspaper ever printed in Oregon. It waa volume 1, number 1 of the Oregon Spectator, published at Oregon City, bearing date February 6, 1840, with W. G. T'Vault, editor. It ii Indoed an interesting specimen of pioneer days and many curious iucidenta are nar rated in its columns. Among other things, on the editorial page ia found a lengthy article, in which the editor makes his journalistic bow to the pub lic and points with pride to the time when Orogon will be a part of the United States; also that a large major ity of the citizens of Oregon are "emi- Fine wool man's.

His witnesses wore Johu Campbell and P. Peck. It is now thought the fUhermens' strike will be ended by tbe first of May. It is slso generally believed the fishermen will be successful in their efforts to maintain a fair price for their labor. Strikes are not generally con ducive to the publio good, but it must be admitted that there are times wben extreme measures appear to be the only remedy. And in applying these extreme measures no property should be destroyed or statute violated. Mod eration ia the great remedy for these social eruptions, without which great injury is often inflioted upon innocent peopto, , Poor Outlook for Salmon. Astoria, April 22. Tbe opinion is growing steadily among canners and fishermen that, in case a settlement of the strike is brought about, tbe effect on general business will not be appre ciable, owing to the great scarcity of salmon. Those of tbe fishermen who have cast their nets, iu order to sooure salmon for home consumption, have not aucoeeciea in catching more than three or tour fish, and B. A. Seaborn. thellwaoo cannoryman and trapowner, says that the Baker's bay traps are not calohing any more salmon than the residents of Ilwaco are able to dispose of among their families. The scarcity of fish may be the means of hastening a settlement of the strike, as it ia considered a fore gone conclusion that the total paok for 1891) will not exoeed zou.Uuu cases of spring fish, even granting that all the canneries arc in operation by May 1. The activity continues at the var- ions packing eaUblishments, and Al though tbe canners' are outwardly firm in thoir position, it will not cause much surpriso if the harbor is covered with flying boats by May 1 or 2.
