In addition to the already large trade there in cord wood, shingles, snd gsoeral merchandise, there haa been paid oat there of late about $1600 week for salmon which haa bean shipped to tho down river canneries. This my not teem very large but it i aotual oath and all remains at home, a those engaged in fishing spend tbslr money, as a rule, with the local merchants. Tbs amount of money handled in Rainier, buying fish, alone, greatly stimulates trade and inoreaeea tbe commerce of lha town in many ways. Wa bava been informed that a large amount of salmon now being put up is to fill contracts for China and Japan. Loos LooKiRO Up. Ixcs are com manding a muoh better price Just now than for many montha past. Quality, of course, cut soma figure, but the general tendency la upward. Mr. Wieat, of Stella, Waab., sold a large raft In Portland Monday for It par thousand, and contracted tho nest lot at I4.50. Tbia is the price for first-class saw timber. , Tbe reason for tba in creased price and increased demand i that there hae been very few logs put in tbe past yeai and tbe supply is almost exhausted. Consequently, mill that have large order to fill are contracting at an advanced price. Under xlstinr condition the supply of log would in a comparatively short time become exhauated, nance tne advance in the prior will, have a tend ancy to stimulate loggers, snd It would not bs surprising to near oi many camps starting up vary soon.

Proposed tJaloa Paolfle Connection by the Nebalem Valley Aoate. A rticlss of Incorporation of the Oolnmhls A Eastern Railroad Company were filed with th county clerk of Multnomah auuatjr Tuesday aftarnoon by Ouionai R. w. Hltchsll, Hsarjr C. Orady sad 0. W. Johnson. Tba capital stock U placed at 1900,000, divided Into 1)000 sharsa ef 8100 each. Th company proposes to construct a railroad from a point tn Clateep county, at or near tba laoutb of tba Columbia river. through tha valley of tba NehsUm, then throuifh OJumbia. Woihlngton, Multno mah, Clackamas, Marlon, Linn, Harnay, and Creok counties, to a point near the Hnak river at Ontario, er nsar Owyhee. II practicable, the oompany will purchase tbe Astoria A South Coast railroad, run nlng from Young's bay to 8eanlile, and con nect It with tha proposed Una. Branch lines will b built wherever and whenever necessity demands. Tba oompspy will also engage In tha manufacture of lumber, quarrying of rock, mining of coal, and In tha opsrstton af ferries. Tha proposed Una will pass through a rich country, especially from Astoria to Portland, as undrvelop I coal mines are everywhere In th Kehalem valley. This sell ems embodies tbe plans of tha 8c Uo- neld Una from Portland to Astoria, on which soma grading was dona In 1802. It Is sntlrely different In It featurea from the Una which tba Union Paclflo Intended to build. Tha latter, a company com posed of R. W. Baxter and tha Union Pact Bo offldal Intended to build, was practically a consolidation of all in terests, it being proposed to give Astoria rail connection with Portland by a connec tion with the Northern Paclflo at Gobi, and to tap tha Nebalem by branch lines. go rue railroad men claimed that this schema would not be a profitable one as tba company could not meet river compe tition. They advocated a Una through tha NehsUm valley such as tbe new company intends to build, wltb extensions In other directions. From tbe article of incorporation, It would appear that tha new company Is in corporated for tba object of building a line to a connection wltb the union racinc. which would give that company eommut- eation with Portland and the sea Indepen dent of tbe Oregon Railway and Navigation Oompany. Aa proposed, tba Una will run directly from Astoria to Ontario, a town In Malhaer county, located oa tba line of ine Union Pactflo. 40 miles from Huntington, where the Union terminate. It remains to ba seen whether tha road is to be built for that purpose. Son. In Oregon' raaltaartary. A visitor at the penlti-rtlary tbe other day, eays th Ralam Statesman, waa sur prised to see aixty-fonr prisoners stand np to be photographed atona time. That lot mesne lust so many comparatively new ar rivals, because the pictures are taken as soon after their arrival there as there are enongb to pay T. O. Hutchinson of Dallas, who haa tile contract for tbe Jo. to come over and take them. They are taken to ba placed la tha "roeue's gallery." Thla bring to mind a little tauie talk wntcn took place at a dinner among the officer at tha prison and a few gu' sts recently, and which came to tha reporter from an entire stranger to tba scene who overheard it repeated an a train privately. Governor Pennoyer was ana of tbe guests and an other waa a man suffloiently connected with newspapers to be sue pec ted of having given his excellency an occasional prod for his pardoning penchant. Tbe talk turned right for tbe newspaper man to aay solemnly: "Well, I see the penitentiary ia filling np vary rapidly, Mr. DownlngT" "Yes," In terjected tbe governor, with pis pecuuar look and smile, "In spite of tha governor's excessive pardoning habit.'" Tbe moral ising went on as tf nothing bad bean said Another fact about tbe penitentiary not cenerally suspected Is that it ia recognised hv tramna aa lha most reliable depot of supplies in ths way of cast-off clothing, and a great many call there to gat warm gar ment for the winter.
