CHINOOK PRICE NOW UP
COLT STORAGE PEOPLE OFFER 8
CENTS PER POUND.

Month of the River.
ASTORIA, June 23. There -was a ma
terial advance In the price of Chinook
salmon today, -when S. Schmidt & Co..
the cold-storage shippers, announced that
from now until the close of the season
they would pa.y 8 cents per pound for all
salmon weighing over 20 pounds. It
is expected that the other cold-storage
firms will meet this figure. The can
neries are still paying cents for
salmon, and the market price for steel
heads is 5 cents, although one buyer is
paying G4 cents.
Richard Welcome, who has been pur
chasing steelheads on the river for the
past week and paying G cents per pound
Yor them, was seen today and asked why
ho was paying a cent and a half per
pound more than the current price. He
replied that he did so because he wanted
the fish and could afford to pay that
figure. He refused, however, to tell for
whom he was buying them, where he de
livered them, or to what point they were
shipped. He explained this refusal by
stating that ho did not want the cold
storage men to "get onto" his market.
Captain H. A. ilathews, the bar pilot,
who came In on the pilot schooner San
Jose last evening, states that while cruis
ing around the mouth of the river for
tho rast wck he saw few salmon Jump
ing, as they usually do at this time of
the year. Only two sea lions were sight
ed, and no seals were seen, which would
Indicate that there are very few salmon
outside.
Nearly all the seiners on the river have
stopped operations on account of the
high water and the scarcity of fish.

OREGON CITY, Or.. June 29. William
E. Culkln, Register of the United States
Land Office, at Duluth, Minn., called on
Register C. B. Moores, of the local Land
Office, today. He stated that there is
yet considerable vacant land in his dis
trict, taking in the Northeastern portion
of Minnesota, but many locations are
now being made for the scanty growth of
timber that cover the lands. The vacant
lands there are equal in extent to the
Government lands open for settlement
In the Oregon City district, or even great
er, but the surface of the country Is
rocky and inclined to be hilly. He says
Oregon people would not look at the tim
ber left standing on the Government lands
In Minnesota now being located by home
stead entry and by means of soldier land
warrants. In fact this land has been
vacant for many years, and it is only re
cently that It was considered worth lo-
eating at all. On lands containing the
most ordinary quality of timber, the
stumpage ranges from 52 30 to 53 50 per
1000 feet. Mr. Culkln says that a quar
ter section of land in that country
capable of producing 15,000,000 to 20,000,000
feet of lumber would be worth $40,000 to
150,000, and that at least SO Duluth men
Interested In the lumber and logging in
flustry are now seeking timber In Oregon
and Washington.

THE LATE REV.
AX EARLY DOCTOR AND PREACHER OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
FOREST GROVE. June 20. The Rev. John W. Starr, an Oregon pioneer of 1S53. died at
his home here this evening. He was born In Belmont County, Ohio, In 1825. and 15 years
later crossed the plains to California, coming to Oregon three years later. He studied medi
cine in Iowa and California, and practiced the profession In Buena Vista. Cal., and Smith
field. Junction City and Monroe. In 1871 he entered the Methodist ministry, and be had
charges at TVlnglUe and Oakland, Or. His third wlfo survives. A daughter, Mrs. Luri
Smith, resides at Bonner's Ferry. Idaho.
In 18C4 Dr. Starr enlisted In Company F, of tho First Oregon Volunteers. He was de
tached from his company during- his ser lea In the Army, and was appointed to tho position
of hospital steward at Fort Klamath, serving from 1804 to 1SGS.
been released, that they might be used
for witnesses.
The verdict in tho "Williams case was
brought In today, the jury having been
out 12 hours. "Williams pleaded guilty.
He stated on the stand that he cut tho
woman's throat, but that he did it at the
point of a rifle held by Hanson, who
compelled him to commit the deed. He
says Hanson shot the woman also, but
Hanson denies the allegation. The other
Indians in the caso also state Hanson
shot the woman, and a number of wit
nesses were put on the stand who testified
that Hanon confessed in an Indian re
ligious meeting here last "Winter to hav
ing shot the woman as well as the man.
Hanson maintains that Kichltoo shot the
woman. Kichltoo has confessed to noth
ing, but Is now on trial. Much interest
is taken in all the cases.
Hanson's attitude makes him an enig
ma in the eyes of nearly all outsiders.
It is thought peculiar that he should con
fess to having killed one of the party,
and not the other. Again, it is thought
perhaps the other Indians have combined,
now that Hanson has confessed to the
murder of one, to force the blame "of all
the crimes on him.
HERROX'S ALASKA TRIP.
Hardships In the Interior Learned
Mnny Indian Xnrues.
SEATTLE, June 29. Lieutenant J. S.
Herron, who was in command of the ex
pedition suppose3 to have been lost last
Fall, returned to this city today. Lieu
tenant Herron went up north last Fall
with Captain Glenn to find an all-Amer-ican
route from Cook Inlet to the Tukon
River. He and his party separated from
Captain Glenn's party on the Sushltna
River last Summer, and at one time it
was thought that they had perished in
the wilds of Alaska. No news had been
received of the party for several months,
and their friends were becoming worried.
The party proceeded up the Sushltna to
the Teutna, which enters the Sushltna
from the west, and up the Teutna to the
Keechltno. Leaving this river, the party
proceeded over the Alaskan range west
of Mount McKInley, to the Kushkoklum;
down that river to the Tanana, and down
tho Tanana to Fort Gibbon, which lies
at Its junction with the Tukon.
Tho party found two deserted villages,
but no Indians till Fall, when they had
crossed the mountains. Here, 150 miles
from tho mouth of the Tanana, they
found a few natives, from whom they got
snowshoes, dogs and sleds. At the In
dian village the expedition rested until
snow had fallen.
During this time Lieutenant Herron
learned the Indian names of streams and
mountains from natives whose tongues
he could not understand, and who them
selves could not apprehend even signal
language. He did this by drawing pic
tures. It took weeks to get a single
name. After their rest the party pro
ceeded down the Kokwln to the Tanana,
and thence to Fort Gibbon.

SEVEN ROUTES RADIATIXG FROM
SALEM TO BE INSPECTED.
Daraad's Xovel Xylophone Teach
ers Institute Closed Capital
City Xotes.
BALEM, Or., June 23. Postmaster Ed
ward Hirsch today received a. letter from
Special Agent H. J. Ormsby, of the Post
office Department, in which he states that
he will be In Salem early in August to
Inspect the seven proposed free rural
delivery routes centering in Salem. Judg
ing by the opinions expressed by Mr.
Ormsby when he was here about a month
ago, there Is no doubt that the routes
will be approved, and that in September
the farmers around Salem will have their
mail delivered daily at their doors.
Ezra Dnrand's Xovel Xylophone.
Ho who comes to Salem and fails to
hear Ezra Durand play a tune on a
cracker-box misses a treat, Durand is a
convict at the Oregon penitentiary. He
was the promoter of the Durand Organ
Company, at Portland, and in April, 1S37,
was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment
in tho penitentiary- for the crime of forg
ery. He had signed names to notes given
to replace old notes, the transaction be
ing In the nature of a renewal of secur
ity. Durand was a piano-tuner of ability,
and his trained ear and Ingenuity have"
enabled him to make a rude instrument
that under his touch produces very pleasing-
music. His only materials were an
old cracker-box and some common wire.
He took the top off the box and stretched
four wires lengthwise across the bottom
of the box. Strips of wood were placed
under the wires near the ends to tighten
them and hold them up from the box.
He then cut the top of the box up Into
ploces varying In thickness and from
three to seven Inches In length. These
strips he laid on the wires, each strip
resting on two wires. There were, there
fore, two rows of the strips of wood
across the bottom of the box and resting
on tho wires. Ordinary twine was used
to tie the strips so that they would not
Jar off the wires.
Tho Instrument Is played by striking the
strips of wood with two small mallets,
also whittled out of the box. By altering
the length and bulk of the strips of wood,
by cutting off a small portion, the tono
Is changed, and in this way Durand ar
ranged a series of "keys" that will pro
duce tho ordinary musical tones and half
tones. If a key gets out of tune It Is
whittled a little or a larger piece of wood
taken In its place. Mr. Durand has be
come proficient in the use of the mal
lets, and he plays tho most rapid tunes
with ease. Musicians who have heard
him play say that the tones produced are
perfect. Durand Is modest about his ac
complishments, and does not court at
tention, but is always willing to play for
those who wish to hear him. Ho Is In
hopes that he may sometime have a bet
ter box and some means of. tightening the
wire3 by use of a key. He thinks he
could make much better music if he had
an opportunity to make a few "modern
Improvements" on his Invention. So far
as known the Instrument is not patented.
Durand Is a ver quiet prisoner, and is
allowed many special privileges on that
account. He is-In hopes he may be par
doned before much more of his 12 years'
term has expired. One petition for his
pardon was presented to the Governor,
but a counter petition was also filed, and
tho matter was dropped.
Connty Pays for Defending a Case.
For the first time in many years tho
County Court today- paid an attorney for
defending a criminal case. The claim al
lowed was for $20 and this sum was paid
to Carson &. Afiams for defending Mrs.
Minnie Rlngwald, who was charged In
Justice Johnson's Court with the crime
of assaulting another woman with, a
dangerous weapon. The trouble occurred
at the Holmes hopyard early in May,
It has long been the ruling of the courts
that an attorney -is an officer of tho
court and must defend criminals when re
quired without compensation. In some
counties It Is the custom to allow a fee
or at least necessary expenses for de
fending criminals In the Circuit Court,

Close of Teachers' Institute
The Marlon County Teachera Institute
closed this afternoon after a three days'
session. Only 150 teachers registered, al
though there are 250 In the county. The

association, and those who attended at
that timo were excused from attendance
at this meeting. 5.S
This forenoon Miss S. J. Evans conduct
