This sllpperiness is due to a sort of mucus exuded through the scale, and of the greatest Importance to all slimy creatures. One of tbe Important functions of the fish's slimy coating la to protect it from the attacks of fungus, a form of plant life found In all waters, salt and fresh, foul and pure. If tbe flsh Is so Injured that some spot becomes uncovered by the slime, a barely visible fungus will be likely to lotlgo there, and wben it Is once lodged the process of reproduction Is very rapid. It soon extends over the gills and kills the fish. The primary purpose of the slime of tbe fish Is to reduce Its friction when In motion through the water and Increase its speed- It also serves as a cushion to the scalea, which It thua protects from many Injuries. Grand Open. "Yez needn't be taken on gleb airs, Missus Mulrancy, Jtst beycuz yer man'x bin made a Jigger on 'th perleesb force. Me man weut t' th' gran' opphra 'n sthylo." "(Jran' opphra nuttln'.

It Is manufactured from tbe fur of a species of Persian cat, tbe balr of which Is so fine that one strand la hard ly visible to tbe naked eye. Tbe spin ning, weaving, and fashioning of tho meterlal required several years of labor and thousands of cat skin. PACIFIC COAST NEW Comnterelal and Ylnatielnt tlappenln of Internal to tlia Growing Western Sis, tea. Plnoe the first of July tha people Alaska have coutrilmtod to tho fudnral treasury iu license inonoy the inagulil cent stun of $163,274.40 for the urivi lege of doitui business iu Alaska and developing the territory, says tha SknH' way AlAttkan. This is in audition to the tariff duties pald.intortml revenues taxes and all other taxes common to the couutry at large. It la a special tax levied upon business in Alaska alone, suoh as no other oitisens of the United States are required to pay; in fact it is a tax that was ttever before in the history ot the United States levied against any of its peoplo. Plenty of Supplies at Dawson. D. W. Bullock, lately arrived from Dawson, said to an Alaskan reporter: "Dawson is supplied with everything needed there for tho winter. The r. port as to a great shortage of oats is not true. There is plenty 'of pats along the river aud in Dawsou to supply the interior. Whcu we got away from Dawson, November 7, oats wore sell' lng for 23 cents a pound aud hay at 15 cents. Last winter oats weut to 40 and 45 cents, and bay to 8S to 60 cents. Tobaooo soils in Dawsou today for $1 to $1.25 a pound, loss than it driiii; iu Bennett. The Bennett price is $1.60 pound. Flour that sold for $8 in Daw son a year ago is worth only $4.75 there today. There will be plenty of beef in Dawsou throughout the wiuter, Dumbolton had four scows loaded with beef on the way in, one of which is at Selkirk and one at Stewart river. I do not kuow whore the others are. Pttiii bolton will take the meat through to Dawson over tho ice after the river frevie. McDougall & Burns hare HO tons below Selkirk and will take it in over the ico. The labor market of Dawson is glutted. There were 1,000 to 1,500 idle men in the town when left, and more were rushing in from up the river." Atltns Future Ontpnt. manes i;nristopner, who has neuo tinted more large Atlin mining deals than any other man iu the couutry dur ing the season recently closed, is au thonty for tho statement that there will be no less than half a dozen large hydraulic plants put in operation in Atlin with the opening of spring. II says the output of gold in that country will exceed $5,000,000. The gold com ni it loner collected royalty on about $700,000 this summer, but he failed to collect on more than half the output There was at least $1,800,000 taken out of the Atlin gold fields this year, and next year the output will exoeed $5,000,000. Last summer the great majority of the miners did not get to work before Auuust 1, and they all worked small clnims and handled most of the dirt with shovels. Next yea they will handle it by the hydraulic process. Bnowsllde on White Pass. News of a big snowslide on the White Pass s Yukon railroad was brought to Victoria by tho steamer Tees. A rotary and two engines were buried by the slide.aud after they wore shoveled out, the rotary ran into rock, knocking out 13 of ita 20 knives The train which was behind the suow bncking outfit was not injured. r. u uegan, one oi tnose who en deavored to walk to Skauway from the snowbound train, was found nncon scions, with his face and hands frozen. The operator at Glacier reported to Skagway that the track there was cov ered for a distance of 850 feet a depth of five to 20 feet. Telegraph wires be' yond U lacier are down. Heathen Chinese Threw a Bomb At Victoria, B. C, a dastardly at tempt was made to wreck a Chinese Methodist mission church. While the congregation, principally Chinese, was worshipping, a bomb made of lead pipe and tilled with gundpower was ex ploded. No one was injured. The deed 1b ascribed to heathen Chin we Jealous of the introduction of ChrUti anity among their countrymen. To List All the Mnps. Directors of the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association met in Salem Tueadnv af ternoon, and were in secret session four hours. The chief busiuews traucacted was to require every local representa tive of the association to obtain a com plete list of hopgrowersand the amount of hops now on hand in their respect ive districts. The board also an nounced that it is now ready for busi ness. Northwest Notes. An opera house is one of Albany's needs for 1900. Mule-buyers from California are in Southern Oregon counties. A Burns paper reports a sale of 2,700 stock sheep at $2.60 per head. it is estimated mat tne call lor war rants recently made by the county treasurer of Whatcom county covers about $170,000 of county indebtedness. Figures of real estate transfers re corded in King county (Seattle) since July 1 show a total of 405 transfers, of an aggregate value of $3,980,025, not including, of course, tho value of the transfers for nominal sums. In Umatilla county, wheat farms are advertised for sale at prices from $20 to $40 an acre. A farm on tbe foot hills east of Milton sold for $5,800 spot cash. The old mill, on Chambers oreek. near Fort Steilacoom, was recently de stroyed by fire. It was one of the old landmarks of that part of the country. having been built in 1852. The convention of the Linn county Christian Endeavorers is to be held in Brownsville on January 12, 13, and 14. Tbe Bellinaham Bay & F.astern Railroad Company cannot find laborers enough to work on road construction at 20 cents an hour, and is getting in some Japs for that purpose. The Jap labor is not so satisfactory as white la bor, but enough of the latter cannot be found. Among the experiments in progress at the I'uyallnp experiment stations is series of spraying testa for black spots, or canker, in hops, which is be coming so prevalent in that vicinity. Over $25,000 was spent la Lake v low Id building improvements during 1899. j THE WORST AND THI BEST. Wall ".treat Buffered, Mul (laneral Hual ness Was tlood. II. O. Dun Ss Co.'s weekly tevlew of trade sayss The worst day in Wall street in many years was in part the legitimate result of the lt year iu business ever known. Because tha country had prospered so greatly and so expaudod its business that it could no longer afford to have many millions locked up in carrying stocks represent ing imaginary values, the question was not one of monetary supply. When the country found ample use for its capital in regular trade and productive industry, a contraction of loans beeaiti necessary, which would have beeu more paiuful if the volume of stocks had been larger. The business of the couutry close to the holidays is necessarily smaller than it has been, and yet larger than at the same date iu any other year. 1.x changes through principal clearing' houses for the week have been 83.7 larger than last year, and 60.4 percent larger thau in 1803, including 82.1 per rent saiu in paymeuts outside New York. There was not even a susplcltm of unsoundness iu any considerable branch of Industry or trade, the ex truordinary expansion iu some being ns well warruutud as the material gain iu others. Cotton suffered in speculation fur day with stocks, but tho great decrease in receipts from farms siuce September over- 1,600,000 bales gives strong support to prices, as does the increase of 200,000 bales in takings by spinners. Wheat has fallen both iu foretgu de- maud aud in prices, in spite of still larger loss in Western receipts, for tho week only 8,300,280 bushels, agaiust 7,840,170 bushels last year. Failures for tho week have been S20 iu the United States, against 258 hist year, and 20 iu Canada, agaiust 81 last yonr. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Beattla Markata.
