The amount put up to date Is fully double If not triple the pack at the corresponding time a year ego. Especially is thuB true of the flsh put up by the cold-storage plants. Early lit the season the flsh were unusually small, and this fact accounts for & few of the canneries not having as large a pack proportionately as the others, as some of them, particularly Booth's, have very little emall-mesh gear In thfr water. The flsh packed have been of excellent quality, fuily 90 per cent of them being chlnooks, and will command the highest market prices. While It Is Impossible to obtain exact figures, a carefully prepared estimate shows that the amount put up oh the Columbia River thus far this sea son is" about 123,000 cases, .figured on the basis of four dozen one-pound cans to the case; besides this, the cold-storage plants have bandied about 514 tons pf cured fish equalinz CSS tons of raw flsh. or 23.000 cases. These figures do not include the. Steelheads, of which fully 150 tons have been shipped In cold storage. On the up per river, the wheels are making good catches, and the deliveries to the canneries will average 12 to 15 tons per day, while on the lower river all classes of gear are doing fairly well. Advance In Price of SieelttcadK. The price of steelheads has again -been advanced by Lindenberger, who Is now paying 6 cents per pound. He has been paying 5 cents per pound while all other buyers have been and are still paying 4 cents per pound. This additional raise vas unexpected, as the run of steelheads Is almost unprecedented for this, season of the- year. WARREN REPLIES TO TRESCOTT. Canneryman Say Latter Was "Sot a Partner in His Business. ASTORIA, Or., July L Frank M. War ren has filed his1 answer In the Circuit Court In the case brought against him. and' the Trescott Packing Company by C. B. TrescofE. In his answer Warren denies the allegation made In the complaint that in 1893, or at any other time, an agree ment was made between him and the" plaintiff, whereby the latter was to Te celve one-half of tho profits of fhe busi ness. He says, however, that an agree ment was made to engage In the buying and selling of sturgeon on the following farms: Warren to Advance Hie money re quired, which should be repaid to him with 10 per cent Interest; Trescott to work for a salary of $1CK per month, and If the business was successful and profits over and above the advances, interest on same and losses were made, Trescott was to" be allowed some further compensation, to be agreed upon later. The answer admits that Warren organized the Trescott Pack ing Company,, and says that at all times he owned and controlled all its stock, also that Trescott performed services for the company as an employe, but not other wise. It Says that the plaintiff knows-the amount of money advanced and the profits of the business. It denies that the profits were large, or-tha there were, any net profits. As a separate answer Warren alleges that on November 8, 1901, the plaintiff filed a petition in bankruptcy in a New York court, and on March 2, 1902, he wa3 declared a bankrupt by the order of that court and discharged from all debts and claims existing against -him at the" tfirie his petition was filed. Warren also al leges that at the time the plaintiff filed his petition there was due from him to the .Trescott Packing Company the sum of $12,000 on account of business transactions, a claim which he admitted was a just one, i incurred while ho was an employe of the company. The answer seeks to show that 'Trescott was on employe, and not a part- 3icr of Warren's, and asks that the suit tbe dismissed.

Judsre O-vcrrulcv HIk Motion for Ex tension erf Time. SALEM July L John F. Markley, who was yesterday indicted for the murder of J. D. Fain, at Champocg. today applied to Judge- Burnett for an extension of time to plead until October. His reasons for the extension of time were that he was held to answer by an order made by the Justice of the Peace on June 27, after the June term of the Circuit Court be gan, and Is therefore not compelled to plead or go to trial until next term; that all the regular jurors except four were recently discharged by the Judge, and Sro not now in attendance upon the court. Judge Burnett overruled the objections and made an order requiring Markley to plead on July 7. Should the case go to trial before, October, all the jurors except four must be drawn from the qualified cit izens of the county, and not from the regular panel, though those who wore on the regular panel might be calTed by the Sheriff. The question whether a trial can be had over objections, wheh part of the regular Jurors have been discharged. Is an unusual one. but not entlrelv new. Severer years ago all the Jurors 'but one were discharged, and thereafter, a crim inal case was triea before a. jury com posed of this one and 11 others who were called by the Sheriff.

MEETINGS FOR TEACHERS SUPERTKTEjrDEXTS PLAX A CTRCTIT -. OF" riCSTTTUTES. Servierat Counties WllL Co-Opernte and EaxaETc Some UToted Eastern Educator tor Lectarev SALEM, JulrL A number of the West ern Oregon County Superintendents of Public Instruction are planning a circuit of county teachers' institutes, by which they may be able to securo lectures from educators more widely known than thwe who usually participate in such educa tional meetings In this state. Marion-, Linn, Polk, Yamhill, Benton and Jack son Counties are already Interested h tho movement. It Is proposed to arrange-the dates of the Institutes in these counties so that they will follow In close succes sion. Then some prominent Institute worker in the East will be employed to make the circuit of all the counties participating- in tho "union." One of the great difficulties encountered WELL-KNOWN" PIONEER OF LANE COUNTY EUQISKE. July 1. Mrs. Andrew . V . s.. . vS .flffi The Late Mrs. Aadrcvr HcCornack. by County Superintendents In arranging for the annual gatherings of teachers is that the funds available for Institute pur poses will not permit the employment of lecturers of National reputation. The amount that one county can pay will not Induce the most successful lecturers to come to the Coast. The reason for the co-operation of the CountySuperintendents Is much the same ' as that which led the managers of tho Pacific Coast fairs to arrange dates'follow lng In such succession that desirable at tractions could be seen at all the fairs In one season. There Is also a project on foot for tho holding of a Joint Institute between Ma rion and Polk Counties, and this plan will be carried out If it meets the approval of the teachers Of Polk County. If any ob jections are made, the institute must be held In eaoh county, but It is believed that since the joint expenditure ot insti tute funds would make the meeting much more successful, the Polk County teachers will favor the Idea of meeting at Salem.
