MANY CAUGHT FOR COLD STORAGE General Belief That Money Invested in Packing Plants Will Soon Be Idle. As long as enough salmon could be caught In the Columbia, by multiplying traps, nets, seines and wheels, to make up an average pack, and yield the can norymen big profits, the idea that the salmon vould some day be exterminated was scouted. If any" of tne cannerj men believed ils possible, he kept his opinion In the background, and only made more strenuous efforts to get as much more than his share lof the lish as possible Tihile they lasted, and so ' helped to bring on the catastrophe. "Whether future generations, or even the net were to have salmon to pack or even to eat was nothing to him. The end has apparently come sooner than anybody anticipated, and now those who have been trjing to get all the fish find that they have succeeded In doing so, and they have their canneries, plants and business" on their handB, but there is no business, and they fear there will be none In the future. The pack on the Columbia has been very light bo far; the "big run" so confi dently expected about the middle of July has not materialized, and hopes of Its ever doing so are about abandoned. There have been a few little spurts, and the catch has picked up for a day or two at a time, but all this has not amounted to much. The traps, seines and nets in the lower river have been able to account for all these fish, and as the cold-storage and pickling men paid 7 cents for lish under 20 pounds, and 8 cents for those of greater weight, but lew of the fish went to the canneries. The result of this falling off in the fisher'' has been that all Interested have awak ened to the fact that "something has got to be done," and there is a vast amount of talking and growling. It was thought a few years ago that the artificial propagation of salmon would keep "Up the supply, but now there are come who doubt this, and who say that the hatchery business has not been man eged right. They say that the millions of young fry have been turned out in waters where there was not a supply of food for them, and where their enemies were numerous, so that only a very small proportion of them survived. This, they eay, may be changed for the better by planting the yonng fry away up In the headwaters of the streams, where the salmon go to breed, and where Nature has provided food for the young fry, but It is scarcely possible any longer to se cure a. "supply of eggs for the hatcher ies, unless they are taken from "any old fish." In order to keep the supply or salmon up to the mark, only the best of chlnook salmon should be taken to furnish the eggs for the hatcheries, and It is generally conceded that artificial propagation cannot be depended upon for stocking the river, bnt can be used to as sist in this, within proper limitations, and that. If there were 100 hatcheries op erated on the river, they would not in crease the number of salmon to be caught 100 fold nor anywhere near It. All sorts of schemes are being proposed for restocking the Columbia, for, as a prominent canneryman says: "The busi ness Is going to be ruined, and the State of Oregon lose $3,000,003 a year." One Canneryman's Plan. The scheme of Samuel Elmore for re stocking the river is to put a stop to fishing above tide water, as, say, above the mouth of the "Willamette or above Vancouver. He says fishing In Fraser River is not allowed above the head of the tide. This would, of course, put an end to fishing with wheels at the cas cades and daV-3, where many fish U3ed to be ought, but practically none have been caught at the dalles for several years, and, so far this year, the catch has been very small at tho cascades. Mr. Elmore has been a long time In the salmon business, and his opinion should be entitled to weight. As he Is a mem ber "of the combine" which to a large extent controls the salmon fishery on the lower river, some people might accuse him of being Influenced by selfish mo tives in desiring to close the river above tide water and so abolish fish wheels, while there would be no limitation to the number of traps, seines and gill nets used in the lower river. He, how ever, disclaims any such selfish motives, and is willing that the wheelmen and everybody else come down to the lower river to fish. He says they all have as much right to fish there as he has, and eays that Jf the upper river Is closed to fishing there cannot be enough gear put Into the lower river to prevent enough fish from reaching the upper river to keep up the supply. Of course. It would be a good scheme to give the fish an open door to the upper river, and, with what fish get up before and after tho fishing season, and what would run the gauntlet of the traps, etc., In the lower river, enough might reach their natural spawning grounds to keep the river stocked, as tho 5-jbung fry would find food plentifully sup NEW TAIFFETA8 "With hemstitched, lace or crepe .stripes.

Complaint About Seasons. There is also Complaint In regard to the close and open seasons on the Co lumbia. Tho fishing season opens April 15 and closes August 10, and opens again September 10 and remains open till "Feb ruary 15. Fish which may come Into the river after the closing of the season on August 10, and which might reach spawn ing grounds on the upper waters, arrive at the dalles about in time for the open season beginning Sepetmbor 10, Just in time to be captured by the wheels there. It Is probable that an effort will be made at the next Legislature to have the laws In regard to salmon fishing on the Columbia thoroughly revised, and some thing done In favor of the fish, and not everything in favor of all sorts and classes of fishermen, and tending to the extermination of the salmon. Perhaps fishermen on the upper river may not approve of Mr. Elmore's scheme for closing that part of the river perma nently, and may suggest that the lower river be closed, and set up that if this were done so many fish would reach the cascades that not enough wheels could be put In to catch them all, and enough would get by to stock the river.. The Legislature has set aside the Clack amas River for breeding purposes, but It has been found practically Impossible to prevent fishing there, and so many fishermen hang around the mouth of that stream and Infest the "Willamette between Portland and there that very few fish ever reach the headwaters of the Clack amas, and the failure to provide a fish way at the falls of the "Willamette pre vents any salmon from reaching the head waters of that river or the Santiam, Me Kenzle or other fine streams flowing into It, which are well adapted jto the propa gation of salmon, if any could get up there. It is asserted! that the cannerymen have always Influenced legislation In their favor, that is, in. what they con sidered their favor, but now they find that they have succeeded in destroying the salmon which laid more golden eggs than all the hares In the state. On Paget Sonnd. The condition of things and the outlook for the future on Puget Sound appears to be about the same as on the Colum bia, Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been Invested there of late by Co lumbia River cannerymen, from which no returns have yet been received, and the prospect of securing any return this sea son Is becoming very slim, while there Is a chance for their Investments becom ing a permanent loss. ANOTHER VIEW OF IT. Mr. Barring-ton Bnr More Hatch eries Are Needed. More hatcheries Is what the Columbia River Ashing Industry needs. In the opin ion of J. Harrington, a well-known can neryman, of Pillar Rock. "Wash. At the Perkins vesterdav. Mr. TTnrrinrrrw m the run of chlnook salmon had recently increased In the south channel, near As toria, but the catch was still light In the north channel. He thought there was yet plenty of time for quite a good pack, between now and August 10, as the sup ply appeared to be on the Increase. He believed the hatcheries of tho Clack amas and "White Salmon had already done a great deal toward saving the industry on the Columbia, as the marked fish have been caught in such numbers as to leave no doubt in his mind. The fish from which the adipose fln had been removed four years ago began coming back within two years after their liberation, as in 189S he saw several weighing 10 pounds each. This year they have reached a weight of 30 pounds, though some had only grown to 12. The discrepancy he ascribes to tho fish from which the spawn were taken, and he thinks great care should bo taken in breeding nsh, as In domestic animals, where sire and weight are considered of first Importance. "Lower Columbia canneries are now paying 6 cents a pound for the raw arti cle," he said, "while the cold-storage peo ple are paying 8. I do not ascribe tho advance In price to the efforts of tho salmon combine, but to the scarcity of fish. I do not belong to the combine and there is no strife between that or ganization and the outside canneries. As thore Is more capital represented by the Independent canneries, I do not think there has been a Columbia River com bine effected at all. In the full sense of the term. "The retail price of the canned sahnbn has already advanced beyond the reach of the poor, who have in consequence quit purchasing, but there are well-to-do con sumers all over the United States, who are still willing to pay the advance, and so the demand Is still very good. "Most of tho salmon bought for pickling are shipped East in SOO-pound barrels, after being cleaned, denuded of bone and lightly salted. The fish bought for cold storage lb kept frozen until it reaches the German markets, where it finally be comes smoked salmon before it reaches the tables of the epicures. The cold storage demand, however, is limited, while the cannerymen take all the fish offered. Thus Is explained the difference paid fishermon by the cold-storage people and the canneries." " 1 .

"When j the Potter loft its wharf Saturday after noon, it presented the unusual sight of j having every available bit of deck space j taken up with passengers waving fare- j well to their friends on the dock. For J two hours a steady now of baggage had poured into Its lower decks, and all tne paraphernalia of camp life was belrtc 1 carefully stowed away. The occasion re sembled the sailing of a steamer for an Alaskan gold point; there was the same breathless anxiety over bits of bag gage, the same eagerness to get under way, and the most unaccountable number of scenes of sad farewells between those parting only for tho Summer. Saturday and Sunday traffic was good on all the steamboat lines and also on the railroad. At the "Union depot Sat urday afternoon, the Astoria & Col umbia River train for the "Seashore was crowded, and those coming a few minutes before leaving time had to be turned away. Over 450 passengers went down on that train. Yesterday morning the samo scene of bustle and confusion was re peated, and several hundred people were turned away. Three hundred and seventy five passengers found rrats In the train which carried them away from tho hot, dusty city to tho beaches wl.ert the cool sea breezes, blow. The steamer Lurllne, which left Satur day evening, was" loaded to its full capac ity of 100 passengers. The Hassalo. eav lng at the same time, carried its full quota of 175 passengers. The Bailey Gat zert, which pulled out Saturday Tornlng, carried a heavy cargo of freight and over 100 passengers for Astoria. Yesterday at the beach was cool, the temperature varying from 8 to G2 deg., whloh was In pleasurable contrast to the high temperatures of last week in the city. "But the backbone of the hot-weather wavo has been broken," said Forecast Of ficial Edward A.

There were thunder storms at Salt Lake yesterday, and the Indications are that these same storms will move northward.

Joseph Lafferty, who spent several months In the Philippines as a packer for Uncle Sam, Is in Portland preparing to return to Luzon and assuming the du ties of a "carrigador" again. His home is at La Grande, where his parents re side, and his present visit to Oregon was planned that he might enjoy a few weeks with his relatives, before perma nently settling down in Luzon. The occupation of "carrigador," he said. Is the most dangerous one in the Islands, as the pack trains are usually loaded with valuable cargoes of provisions and ammu nition for the various camps situated at points remote from the railroad. Tho country is densely overgrown with brush, and the trains, consisting of CO or 70 pack horses, in charge of five or six men, are strung out for half a anile. The Fili pinos can pick off the men with their rifles, without being seen, and can then stampede the animals with perfect safeiy to themselves. Wherever practicable, tho trains are convoyed by parties of caalryi and this escort usually enables the par ties to arrive at their destinations in safety. Tho danger, however, is becoming agreeably less all the time, he said, as there are no more armies to contend with. and the opposition to the American troops has dwindled to a few roving bands of cut-throats, who abuse their own people as well as the whites. He does not think that even this feeble op position will last longer than after the noxt Presidential election, as the Insur gents are now basing their hopes on an anti-Imperialistic verdict by the American people. "Those Pianinos are as well posted on the doings and debates of the Amerclan Congress as wo are, and they know there is a strong party In tho United States who are in favor ot letting the islands go. This knowledge is all that keeps the rebellion alive, and when they find that the American people at home are fearfully in earnest as re gards keeping the Stars and Stripes over tho Philippines, they will quit their bush whacking and return to their former oc cupations." Mr. Lafferty Hkes the packing business, as It is a healthful outdoor ocoupation and the pay is good, ranging 'fronj $50 to $13) a month and board, with chances of promotion to even better positions. The most annoying drawbacks to the work are tho bad condition of the roods and trails In the rainy season. The packers often have to unload the (pack from some horse mired down, and then pull the ani mal . out "by main strength and awk wardness." After working at these dis agreeable tasks all day, the "carriga dores" are sometimes compelled to stand guard, musket in hand, all night. He bears a scar on his leg from a wound Inflicted by a Krag-Jorgensen ball In the hands of a skulking Filipino and so fully realizes the dangers lurking In the wake of tho packer In the Island of Luzon. He goes from hero to San Francisco this week. Under Instructions from the mili tary authorities at Vancouver. CROWD TO HEAR "SAPHO." BIsr Performance at Metropolitan "Sapho" Affaln Tuesday. No performance of "Sapho" will be given at the Metropolitan Theater this evening, the "Sapho" company giving way to the Marsh-Shank concert. Their engagement has not yet been completed, however, and two performances of "Sapho" are yet to be given on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Last evening the house was crowded again at the tenth performance of the play, and the produc tion Is now running as smoothly as clock work, .and curtain calls are received every evening. Mlss Elliot, as Sapho, has made a decided hit by her graceful and delicate rendition, of a difficult part, and Alex Cochrane appears also to good advantage as Jean. The whole company has been carefully drilled In each part, and gives excellent support. Beginning Thursday evening the com pany will present a farce-comedy, staged for the first time, entitled "His Night Out." The play is adapted from tho French, and is full of amusing situations and clever lines. The Sapho Company has been well received during its engage ment, and the new ploy it will put on Is expected to repeat the. two weeks' run of "Sapho." "The American Porter" possesses a mellow flavor peculiarly its own and Is unlike any other brew on the market, whether of foreign or domestic production. wmmw End of Season Sale We must hare room for our New Fell Stock.

Swell of a Steamer Loosened His Footing on a Log: News of the East Side. The 8-year-old son of Charles Craft, engineer of the Alblna sawmills, 'was drowned off the boom of the sawmill In the "Willamette River yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Shortly before the drowning occurred the Craft boy and his cousin, who Is about his own age. walked out over tho logs to tho boom, on which they were standing when the steamer America came along, causing a considerable swell, when the Craft boy fell off In the water, and Immediately disappeared. Mr. Craft was In the mill at the time and the boy's cousin ran and informed him what had happened. The father hastened to the spot, but could do nothing. His son's hat could be seen floating, but there was no sign of the boy. Some other boys were swimming a short distance away, and came to offer their assistance. Mike Kinney and James, Kane dove repeatedly to the bottom of the river. Finally an employe of the sawmill fixed a grappling hook and dragged the river until about 6 o'clock and recovered the body. The boy was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Craft, who live In Upper Alblna. The Inquest will be held today at the East Side morgue. Hlsrh-Servlce Pipe Necessary. Dr. C. H. Raffety, of the water commit tee, says that the main portion of tho Alblna district, now supplied by the Al blna Water Company, and also by small plants, such as are operated at Wood lawn and Piedmont, cannot be supplied by the low service stem. When the city undertakes to supply the Alblna district. Including iHIghland. Piedmont. Wood lawn and North Alblna to Portsmouth. It will be necessary to put In the high ser vice pipe from the high reservoir at Mbunt Tabor. Provision was made for this high-service pipe 12 Inches In diame ter when the reservoir was built, and the route was selected and surveyed under the direction of Superintendent Smith. By this ,p!po line It was proposed to supply all of Mount Tabor, Including Montavllla, Sunnyslde. Holladays addition, and Albl na. as the pressure will be very heavy when It Is laid. The route of this pipe lino zigzags northwest from the high reservoir to the Base Line road. How ever, when surveyed out the expense of the pipe line was estimated at $80,000 alone. The cost would be even greater now, as the price of water main has greatly advanced. The water committee will take Into consideration the cost of this pipe line when It acnulres the Alblna plant. Besides, there will come In the great Mount Tabor .district, now sup plied by the Mount Tabor Water Com pany from Paradise Springs on Haw thorne avenue. Oft to tho southward also Is tho Ivanhoe, Tremont and "Woodstock district, which wants Bull Run water. Altdgether there Is a larpro outside terri tory which will want Bull Run water soma time In the fature. and that will be when the Mount Tabor and Woodstock dis tricts are annexed to the city. Flshermen'a Paradise. A party of young men from the East Side Clarenco Powell. Edward Illdge, Richard Qulnlnnd, and "Walter Knott last week was able to reach wrjat may be termed the fishermen's paradise, on Her mann Creek, back from the Cascades on the Oregon side of the Columbia. They went up on the train as far as Bonne ville Sunday, July 15. and then taking their packs on their backs, footed It $3 tho Cascades, a distance of four miles. Then after a short rest, they started up the mountain trail, which follows Her mann Creek, winding about the mountain sides. It was hot work climbing up tho steeps with their packs on their backs and the sun pouring down on them. The first day out they made sir miles back In the mountains, and camped for the night in Elk Canyon. Powell caught a fine mess of trout for supper. They slept soundly that night. Next dav thev went on up the envk. catching fish until they were tired. They went back Into the mountains about 12 miles. It Is a rough country and hard to icet through, but the trip pays any one. This stream is alive with small trout, mostly about eiarht inches long. The party caught altogether 700 trout and had a royal good time, but rather rough trip. The very roughness of the country seems to have protected the stream from being fished out. It Is M SpcciaLSaleof laces .

Alblna people are somewhat Interested In the coming physical contest soon to take place between George Lewis and an ex-Councilman. J. C. Jameson, for the benefit of the Baby, Home. They propose to go to the Pacific Elevator .dock some morning In the near future and truck wheat from the cars to the dock for one day, to ascertain which Is the best man and who can truck the most wheat during that time. Of course, the contest cannot come off until the present strike Is over, and that may bo some time yet. Mean while, both will be getting In trim. Mr. Jameson has wheeled on a truck he bor rowed, 1000 pounds of -rock on Williams avenue, between Cherry and Morris streets, between 4 and 6 o'clock, until his muscles' are hardened for the contest. Uewis is now at the seaside getting In trim. He take's a run vup the beach 20 miles every morning before breakfast. He has considerably th advantage of his opponent, as h.e haqdedr ,graln on the docks several years and knows how to do It. but by the time Jameson handles 1000 pounds of stone every morning for two weeks, he will be no mean antagonist. Manager Brush will facilitate the con- test. He will arrange to have about 50 carloads Of gram on the sidings, so there will be no danger of the supply running out while the contest Is on. An admis sion of 10 cents will bo charged to all who want to witness the contest. This money, with the wages of the two. will go to the Baby Home. Due notice of the time when the contest is to come off will be given. In the Shipyard. There Is considerable activity In the shlpvardfl.
