Not Kntlrely Hatlafled. The cannerymen and cold itoraire men are very reticent about speaking of me price oi o rents uxed by the lisher men for Chinook salmon during the season. From what can be learned It wai the Intention of the cold storage men 10 open tne inason with o cents but now It may be necessary to pay a half cent more to procure the Huh. Several cannerymen have said that the price nxen wss too hum to permit the Huh to be canned with a nrotlt. while others said that it depended entirely whether inure was a goixi run oi lien or not. II there were but few fish the price would be high, and if there was a larire run the price will be proportionately de creased. It was a question that only the ojiemiig of the season could decide.

Every time she laya an egg she announces the fact by a lively cackle and also works the rooster to assist in letting the world know that an egg has been laid. Ai a consequence the good housewives and children find the nest and the fresh, nutritious egg satisfies the appetite of man and keeps him in a good humor. It il not so with the goose, which, by the way. ii not so good layer ai the ben. llila ehort-lcuired sister, iu a seif-suHivlent sort of a way. steals out Into the weeds, lays an egg, and then waddles otf without saying a word the result Is a nest lull of spoiled eggs. The gooseon account of her failure to aavertiso, la very unpopular aud the tribe la nearly extinct, while poets sing praises to the hen, and every- oly is her li lend. Timber Land Frauds. Timber land ii in great demand now. and all aorta of schemes are being re sorted to to secure tracts of it.

Arrangements were made for his trial which took place in tne united Mates court. Tho applications to purchase in connection with this affair were let tor laat Friday, but aa many of the appli cants have "squealed," and tho locator arrested, no applicants showed up to make final proof. Tho arrest ot Mo- Kinlev is supposed to be the beginning of a number of arresta for crimes con nected with the same deal. His Census Districts. Census Supervisor Georee F. Telfer baa divide!

The meeting was the most largoly at tended than for some time, there being nearly 260 gillnetters present. The market situation was discussed at length and by an almost unanimous vote it waa decided that the price of Chlnooka to the cauneriea would bo 6 cent! por pound, this price to prevail during the whole season. This means, of course. 66 cents at the cold itorage plants, which always pay one half-cent more than the ennnorioa. No action waB taken regarding the prico of steelheada or bluehacks. The question of paying Individual licenses was also thoroughly discussed and while certain members of the union expressed a determination not to take out the licenses and to test the constitutionality of the law if ar rested, the union decided to take no hand in the matter. Othor questions of importance to the union were acted upon, but they were not made public A Horrible Outbreak.

Republican Name a Oood Ticket Fnslonlela will Kndeavor to Kleot Two Hen. Unless all signs fail the people of Co lumhia county are to be .treated to a touch of high life in politica between this time and the 4th of June. The county convention! of all the political parties In thli county have been held and complete tickets, compoied of rep resentative citizens, nominated for the various olflces. Ai ll usual on such oc casions there wore more neoole hanker ing after office than there were places for them, and of coure, somebody got If. mi;.. ..... . i. ' r ii. i ins siate oi auaira, nowever inucn It may have been deprecated by the party leaden on all aidei and of ail parties, was inevitable. Now, It Is the average politician's bounden duty on such occasion to howl long, loud and mournful. There is uo exception aa to party. The first scene of the show la now on ami the act will be continuous until the voters ring the curtain down on the 4th of June. Costs are olT, sleeves rolled up, ready for the battle royal. It is an unpardonable oversight and a sad commentary on the part of the lawmakers that the fact that so few offices exist, but such a condition does exist, and it is becoming more and more apparent as the population of the county increases. The sound of tho wrangle from the ranks of both partica has caused the ears of the candidates to stand out broad and high that they may faintly discern the roar of the breakers in the distance. The populists and democrats held a joint convention on Saturday of Inst week, and since it la ail over and the ticket nominated vou can't tell one from the other, only that the democrats are considerably the "otherest," captur ing nearly all of the offices. The pops wanted a combination of forces because it would increase their chances to win. The domocraU wanted a combination ot forces for the same reason. Of course there will be fun and oceans of it; an occasional glasa of beer and a null ol smoke that will obscure the political wounds, which, like those of a physical nature, are healed by the great physician, Time.
