The tamest efforts of the members of Congress from the Pacific coast, coupled with the dread ful lesson taught by the Valencia disaster will bring about the authorization of at least one first class revenue cutter for use about Puget Sound, during the present session of Congress; and ' will in time bring about the building of an adequate fleet Just at present the Republican leaders are shouting "Economy" so so loudly that they cannot hear the needs of the country spoken in an ordinary tone of voice, and the Coast may deem itself lucky to get at least one new ship to guard the dangerous rocks of Washington. In a report Just made by Congressmen Cushman of Washington from the Com mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce, which has charge of the bill authorizing the revenue cutter, ; he "says This vessel is needed to replace the re venue cutter Grant, now performing service in that district a vessel that is not now suitable on account of age and the effects of continuous service to pro perly perform duties devolving upon a vessel stationed' in those waters. The numerous gales prevailing in this vicinity and the large amount of shipping con- j stantly passing along this coast to and from tne important ports situated on Puget Sound, render it necessary that a first class sufficient vessel should be available to render immediate assistance when required. There are about 1,100 documented vessels of the United States in the district of Puget Sound, a large number being steamers, and these re quire constant supervision and inspection in the enforcement of the navigation and customs laws. The vessel proposed will be a strong factor contributing to the laws." Largest Brewing Plant in Eastern Oiegon I Ask for La.

Byers, Seeleyville. Ind., will recover tiis little son who was stolen from his home one yeai year ago last May. Dr. Byers has spen is entire resources in search for his child and unless the big-hearted members of the press come to his assistance his son will grow up an outlaw and an outcast among the lowest people of the earth. It is a cause that should appeal to everyone and no father reading these lines can do so without a quickening of the heart and sympathetio throb. It le believed that this article is reprinted In the newspapers it will form an .endless ohaln that will uncover the loet boy's ooncealment and return him to his distracted parents. In doing this the profession of journalism will be fulfilling one of its highest destinies. Publishers whose circulation touch the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi valleys are especially requested to reproduce this story of ths lost child, as Dr. Byers be lieves his boy is now in some boathouse waiting tq take the road in the spring. There is a reward of $800 awaiting any information that will lead to the boy' s recovery. No questions will be asked and if the abdugtor himself would deliver the boy to his parent he would not be molest ed. Le.nt eqmmepces on (he 48th. asjd Easter is yaar.

VariBuren's WM Of SALMON FISHERIES Tnis appeal is indicted originally by a publisher who saw Dr. Byers only once, has no personal interest in his quest other than the bond of sympathy that makes the world akin, and is inspired from the jelief that the lost boy c n only be found through the united effort of the country press, of which he is proud to be a member. The following is a description of the lost boy: r'' DESCRIPTION Richmond Byers. if alive, was six years old last July, is of light complexion, has I gray eyes, left eye noticeably crossed, has a small V-shaped nick in the edge of left J ear, has a sharp chin and a narrow pro- J jecting forehead. He is rather small from his age and is unusually bright and in- 1 telligent, taking after the manner of a 1 boy much older. 1 1 Dr. Byers has searched among the rov- , ing bands that frequent the United States ' and believes that hie eon can be found among traveling junk dealers, so-called horse tradere or movers. He does not j think the boy wae stolen by genuine gip sies. He thinks he was taken by a wan dering band that used him for the pur pose of begging in the towns along the route.

An inter esting report on the salmon fisheries of Alaska has Just been issued by the depart ment of commerce and, la.bqr. Hward M. Kutchin, the agent who prepared the report did tome traveling according to his tell, while on the assignment. Say .he "I left Washington May 88, and between that time and my return traveled 8.247 miles by sea a.nd 7,822 by land. 4 total of 16.069 miles. The time spent aboard ship was eighty-seven days. About 260 miles were covered in launch and small boat. -Aiinougn tne salmon pck at tome fisheries outside sf Alaska shows a falling off. the pack of the world for this year was nearly a minion and a half cases greater than last. The total number of canneries in operation this year was 47 against 65 in 1904. There were 22 salteries. against 18 last season. The number of firms or individuals engaged in the businese is 46, against 40 in 1904, The aggregate capital stock employed the business is $11,471,160, being a de crease in tnis item of $2,676,350 from the reported capitalisation of last year. f his redu;tion is largely accounted for by the withdrawal from the field of the Pa eifjc Packing and Navigation Company. which represented a capital of $3,000. 000.

' NEVER BETTER One of the realistic scenes in "Hooligan in New York" which wilt be seen for the first time In La Qrando at Steward's opera house, Tuesday, Feb. 27, is the actual reproduction of an opium joint in Mott Street. In the heart of New York's Chinatown. The scene shows a Chinese laundry and back of It the den where wretched victims of the drug inhale the poppy fumes. Mr. Kenyon, under, whose supervision this scene was produced, was formerly an attache of the United States legation at Hong Kong. While there he learned to speak the language of the country and on his return to New York he made a careful study of the Chinese quarter of that city. Hit ability to con verse with them in their native tongue gave him opportunities which few white men of education have secured, and he has staged a scene which is thrillingly realistic and correct in every detail.
