It is a noticeable fact that through out the season of '88 the salmon catch every Mondav has been beyond that of any other night of the week. It is thought that wheu the board of equalization get through with the city assessment roll, the list will be 5WU.UUU in advance of what it was last year. W.

Co. have made a uniform rate of 86.50 per ton on wheat from all points on Snake river to Portland which, under present con ditions, would be about SG.80 to As toria. Forest fires have been agreeably unusual so far this season, but on Sunday and yesterday huge volumes of dense blue smoke were seen rising in various directions to the north aud east. The case against M. Furgeson for larceny of a gil net from a boat of the Eagle cannery was dismissed for want of evidence, wherefore judge May taxed the costs to the prose cutor, which were paid.

Jewett, with a cargo of over 700, 000 feet of lumber from the Gardiner mills, passed over the bar there with the greatest safety. This is the largest cargo of lumber ever sent out of any harbor between the Columbia and SanFrancisco. From April 9th to July 2Gth, there were za.&ia cases ot salmon received at San Francisco; for the correspond ing period of last year 11,273 cases were received; of the 23,818 cases, 3,550 were from Rogue river, 4,463 from Alaska and 755 from Puget Sound. The rest was from the Co lumbia river. " Chas. Verry and Chas. Pets fishing for the Fishermen's Packing Co., V, Miller and Nicholas Jerry, fishing for Morgan & Co., and J. W. Johnson and John Cragg fishing for J. G. Megler were arrested Saturday night for fishing after sunsot that night. They all plead guilty yesterday and paid a fine of 870 for each boat. The Victoria, B. 0., Standard says: "We are are credibly informed that the Rivers Inlet Packing company are employing ninety-one men, and the run of salmon is so groat that oleven boats have been laid up on account of the cannery not being able to handle all the fish. All the other cannerys are doing fairly as well." .. Don't forget it. What? The de lightful excursion and basket picnic to Gray's river on the staunch steamer Clara Parker, to-day. A beautiful grove, splendid fishing, swings, croquet playing, delightful ride on the Columbia and Gray's river, and other good things are in store for thosowhogo. The steamer will leuve Main street dock at 730 a. m. sharp. Tickets only 50 cents. Visitors unfamiliar with our odd ways, stop in front of the foundation for the Kinney-Fulton-Dement build ing, ana want to know "what are those men dumping all that rock into the river for?" When told that there is $rf,0UU worth of piling there and that a stately brick will ere long rise put of the rippling waves, they look mcreauious, and ask to be shown the exact site of the fort erected by the Astor party. W. H. Holcomb, manager of the O. R. & N. Co., writes to the business men of Westen: "You can assure your enstomers at every point that the (J. B. & N. Co. have purchased two sieam tugs lor use on the Colum bia river bar, and that the wheat rates from all points where you are buying will be no hicher from each one of these places to the sea by way of Portland than they are to the sea oy way ot Tacoma.

In a few seconds there was a deafening explosion, Bnd hastening back he found that the vulcanizer had burst, ripped a hole through the roof, smashed a window and knocked things around gener ally. He has cause for congratula tion that he wasn't there when the celebration began. A vulcanizer that is loaded and feeling good is as bad as a celluloid billiard ball when it gets going.

This new inven tion represents a man of "sports manlike" appearance, standing with gun in hand ready to fire at the first intruder. The arm holding the gun is made to move by clockwork, which is inclosed in a strong iron box at its feet, and at a proper elevation it fires a shot louder than an ordinary gun. After the report the arm lowers. The mechanism can be regulated at the owners pleasure by a regulator like a clock, and only requires to be wound np once a day.

Within are the hatching troughs which aro about two feet wide and sixteen feet long. They are placed two together, four lengths of them reaching the length of the building. There are Bix rows of them, making a total of forty-eight Each row will accommodate 1,000, 000 of eggs, making a total of 0,000, 000 in the room. It is the intention of Professor Stone to Btretch a tent 60x30 feet, in which will be placed five rows of these troughs with an accommodation ot 5,000,000 ot eggs. In the house and tsnt there' will be placed 11,000,000 eggs' at the proper time. As the warm dayB of summer draw near the salmon commence to travel from the ocean to the mountain streams, in whose cold and shallow waters they may deposit their spawn. The female, finding a suitable place in the gravel, deposits her eggs. She is followed by the male fish, who ex udes his milt over the eggs, impreg nating them. One-quarter of a mile above the hatchery these fish meet with a barrier which is interposed by the hand of man to prevent them go ing beyond. This barrier is con structed of two-inch scantlings placed at an interval of about two inches apart and slanting with the stream at an angle of forty-five degrees. Where it crosses the river there is n small island dividing the rack, as it is' called, into two sections. Here at this rack is seen one of the most interest ing sights that was ever the fortune of the writer to behold. Before ar riving at the spot one can see the caudal fins of the salmon appearing above the surface, and in many places can be seen the backs of the largest ones projecting from out the water. Boards have been laid along the rack, and, walking upon these, you look down and see nothing but a mass of fish. Iu sdme places they are piled up one above another to the depth of four or five feet They are quite tameand remain almost in the same position while yon view them. In their vain efforts to get further up the stream, tney run against the rack with their no3es, and nearly every one of them presents a bruised ap pearance. In many cases they force their noses between the scantlings of the rack, bruising their heads as tar back as the eyes, which seem in some cases to be entirely out The Scone beggars description, and must be seen to be appreciated. Professor Stone estimates that there are about .825,000 worth of salmon who are checked in their course. They will not return down stream, and thus they remain awaiting the time for spawning. Crossing the river and ascending to the summit of the bluff mentioned above, one looks down into the river below, and sees under neath him three large dark spots of salmon, one directly underneath, another in the center of the stream, aud the other close to the farther shore. They are thickest at the upper end, and gradually taper down to one at the lower end. Their appearance may be compared to a flock of geese in reversed position. The whole scene may be likened to an army drawn up in battle array. You have the center and right and left wings. On asking professor Stone how many fish there were there, he replied there were about 6,000 in view. The salmon are already beginning to put on a spotted appearance, the colors of the female growing darker, and those of the male assuming a brighter tint. In the early davs of August they will become ripe, then the stripping process will commence. A few days since Professor Stone caused a few to be caught, but it was found. that they were not yet- mature. A practiced eye can, by the appear ance ot the nsh, tell when thev are ready to have their eggs taken from them. When mature they are caught in nets. The males and females are assorted. Some may think this is a difficult process, but they can be readily told apart by the expert. The female is first caught; a hand is placed on her head and ono around her tail. She is held over a large pan and a gentle movement of the finger along her abdomen causes her rapidly to give up the eggs, after which she is returned to the water. A male is then caught and subjected to the same operation, exuding his milt over the eggs. Then they aro stirred up in order to make the impregnation as complete as possible. They are then taken to the hatchery where they are placed in open wire cages two feet in length, covered with asphaltum. They are then placed into the hatching troughs, resting on small cleats which are put in to prevent them from touching the bottom. These troughs are ako subjeoted to a coating of asphaltum. Asphaltum is used in order to prevent the gVbwth of fungi, which has a deadly effect upon the eggs. Everything is now ready for the water, which is turned into the flume also treated with a coat of asphaltum. When it arrives nt the, .northwest corner ot the superinten dents house it pours into a large fil tering vat, where it is filtered through flannel cloths stretched on wooden, frames' which are' placed in grooves along the side of the vat From this vat it again emerges into the flume by which it is conveyed to the hatch ery building. -In this building it runs through another filtering" vat before running into the troughs, In the troughs are placed at each end of every wire basket two pieces of zinc two or three inches apart. The first one is pushed clear down to the bottom, while the second is pushed down within an inch or two of the bottom. The water coming in rises above andflows over the first and under the second, continuing nnder the cage. This keeps up a gentle cir culation amongst the eggs. Running the full length of the troughs, the water issues into a transverse trough at the end and is carried away. The length of time required for the eggs to hatch varies with the temper ature. In a temperature of 60 degrees it requires about fifty days.- - A colder temperature requires more time, and a warmer one less. It is expected -to put into the river thisfaUS.UUO,uoooriu.uoo,ooo young salmon, provided no ill luck i3 had. It is understood that about four years are required for. Balmon to ma ture. In reply io the question whether any benefit is derived from these hatcheries or not it may be stated that in California it is shown that the number of canneries has more than trebled. Fish hatching for the purpose of supplying food has at length become popular. 4 PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. E. D. McKee and family are in in the city. , Miss Lottie Goodell has returned from Seattle. Miss Lou Root ot Seattle is visit ing friends in the city. Mr. S. R. Frazier has been ap pointed city editor ot tne uregojiian. Al Reed, of Gardiner, is in the citv. getting a crew to run his cannery this season. Capt Johnson arrived safely at his Alaska destination with, the Polar Bear June 19th. . ., A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more persons die from dis eases of the Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the onset you must not with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without your attention is dangeroua.'and may lose you your life. As Boon as you feel that something is wrontr with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, db tain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. .Their Combined Assets.
