THJB MOKtUSi( UKISOtOKIAST, TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1902. BIG SALMON PACK Product of Spring Run Is Over 300,000 Cases. FISHING SEASON ENDS FRIDAY GiU-7Tetter Hare Already Quit Work Canneries Getting Fish From Traps and Seines nt Low Prices. The "Spring" 'salmon season on the Columbia -will end Friday. The harvest Is practically over, and cannerymen' are flgurlns their gains. It Is estimated that the pack Is between 250,000 and 275,000 cases. The canneries are putting up lit tle of the product at present, and the pack is now almost complete. Accurate figures of the output will not be available for several days yet. It is believed that the fish pickled and put up in cold stor age amount to the equivalent of at least CO.000 cases more. All these figures are for one-pound cans, four dozen to the case. The canneries have put down the price of fish to a figure which does not profit glllnetters, and consequently these fish ermen are out of business. It is well known, however, that some cannerymen aro paying more than the 2-cent price for chlnooks, giving as high as 4 cents, in spite of the understanding that 2 cents was to be the top notch. Although the canneries give it out that they are using little or no fish, the fact remains that traps and seines are going. This gear is owned by the cannerymen and they pay wages for its operation. It Is said that the salmon are much inferior to the fish caught in the early Summer end that sooner than run down the qual ity of their product, the cannerymen were decided to lay off for the year. Fishing ct the present price Dffered yields email compensation for the additional reason" that the nets bring In many low-grado whiteflsh. The outlook for Columbia River prices is very favorable. Pound cans now bring 51 25 and $1 40 per dozen. If there had been a big pack of sockeyes at Puget Sound this year, these prices might not be maintained, for the Puget Sound prod uct In large quantity at ?l and $1 10 would offer severe competition. But the pack of sockeyes is about 1,000,000 cases short of what it was last year, when 3,400,000 cases were put up. The Puget Sound canneries may pack a large quan tity of dog salmon, but it is Inferior prod uct. INCREASE IN VALUES Shovrinpr Made hy Report of "Whit man Count? Assessor. COLFAX., "Wash., Aug. 1L (Special.) County Assessor Duff today filed his an nual report of the taxable property In the county with the County Auditor. The report shows a wonderful increase in val ues of Whitman County property daring the year ending March 1, 1902. the value of farm lands. Improvements and livestock showing a far greater Increase than ever before recorded In the history of the county- The report shows that there are 1142 acres more land assessable than last year, -while 22,55 acres of new land have. been placed under cultivation during the year. It shows a net Increase in values of the frm lands of "Whitman County of $LS10.740, while the improvements on farm lands are worth $147,000 more than they were bne year ago. a net gain of nearly S2.O00.O00 In farm lands, and improvements on the same In 12 months. A comparative statement of the farm lands and values for the two years ending March 1. 1901 and March 1, 1902. is inter esting in showing the rapid increase in values. The Assessor's reports for the two years show that in 1901 there "were 1,142,131 acres of land paying taxes In "V hitman County. This has increased to 1,143,273 in 1902. In the first-named year there were C53.2G3 acres in cultivation in the county. This has increased to 675,816, a. net sains of 22,553 acres. In. 1901 the farm lands of "Whitman County were val ued at $6,801,100. In 1902 the value has In creased to $S.64L840, a net gain of $1,840. 740. In 1901 the Improvements on farm lands were valued at 5835.153. but had in creased in ono year to 59S4.215, a net gain of 5147,000. But one of the most satisfactory show ings made in the report is the Increased value and number of livestock in tlje county. The number of horses in the icounty has decreased 1174, owing to heavy sales of draft and cavalry horses: but those remaining in the county were worth $20,043 more than the greater number m the county one year before. The most re markable showing in the report, howe'er, is in the case of the cattle of the county, which had Increased in number from 2S, 821, in 1901. to 36,714 In 1902, a net ain of 7793, and a net gain In value of 5158,770. This great increase in values is due to the heavy importations ofAblooded cattle. 6tockgrowers estimating the number of thoroughbreds in the county at four times what It was one year ago. As the Asses sor's report makes no account of the calves born last year, which were not "1 year oiu. and over" when the assess ment was made, the report shows only a small per cent of the actual Increase dur ing the year, but it is a good showing.

Board to Settle American-Mexican Dispute Will Soon Meet. THE HAGUE. Aug. 11. The four arbi trators in the dispute between the United States and Mexico regarding the payment of damages in connection with certain church property in California, will meet on September 1, to appoint a fifth arbi trator. The full court will meet on Sep tember 15, to deliberate on the subject. (The arbitrators for the United States are Sir Edward Fry, of England, and F. De Martens, of Russia, and the Mexican representatives are Pagana Guinas Chill, of Italy, and Sovornln Lehmann. of Hol land. The sum Involved Is 5S90,'S62, and A WHACK AT "INDECENT" LITERATURE.

The Pius fund was originally established to enable the Jesuits to carry on mission wprk in what is now New Mexico and California. The Spanish Government ex pelled the Jesuits in 1767, and seized all of their property, which thereafter was administered by the Franciscans. When Mexico gained her Independence she took charge of the fund. In 1842 Mexico sold the properties of the fund and guaranteed the church authorities 6 per .cent on it In perpetuity. At- the time California was ceded to the United States Mexico stopped paying this interest. In 1S64 Mexico paid $304,700 arrears on an award made in favor, of the church authorities by Sir Edward Thornton. ' Since then nothing has been paid. Archbishop Rior dan, of San Francisco, sailed on the Celtic on Wednesday last for Europe. He will go to The Hague, where he will present the church's claim for the interest' on the fund.) I WILL IGNORE CUBA. Senator Platt Discusses New York Republican Platform. NEW YORK. Aujt. 11. Senator Thomas C. Platt has clearly Indicated, according to tho Herald, that the Republican sta,tc piatiorm wis year will ignore Cuban reciprocity as advocated by President Koosevelt and Indorsed by the Iowa state platform, and confine itself chiefly to state issues. When asked how the Cu ban reciprocity issue would be treated In the state platform. Senator Platt said: "I have not heard that matter discussed. I do not know that the state platform will deal with Federal Issues. We have Issues enough of our own hero in the state." It was suggested that the Republicans of Iowa had taken a different view of the matter. "As the Republicans of Iowa have about everything in the National Government, It Is proper that they should take charge of Federal Issues." .Senator Platt replied Cloudburst Washes Out Graves. MADISON, N. J.. Augr. 11. The cloud burst last night caused devastation in Hillside Cemetery About 75 caskets were swept from the graves. The cemetery is situated partly on a hill, but a brook and ravine traverse the other side of It. The water backed up on and swept across the lower part of the cemetery. For a distance of about 400 feet the torrent car ried everything before it, and for a width of 60 feet the graves were washed out. Today coffins were found strewn about in all directions, some of the bodies were found a mile from the cemetery, and it Is Believed that others were washed Into the Passaic River. So far 40 bodies have been recovered. The Lackawanna tracks were badly wasneu out between Madison and Chat ham, and there were no trains west this morning, LAND OF MANY WONDERS. Galapagos island Contain Seemingly No End of Minerals. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. JL Captain Richard Nye, who was one of those on the steamer W. S. Phelps, tells of xnany 'wonders of the Galapagos fslands, which that vessel recently visited. In an. inter view hp said: ' "The Islands are as full of min erals as shad Is of bones. On Al bemarle there Is an extinct crater, miles In diameter. In which there Is In sight 40,000 tons of pure sulphur. The crater Is about 10 miles Inland and a tramway will be necessary for transportation to the coast, but this should be a email matter considering the possible profit. "One of the queer things in Albemarle Island Is that it Is overrun with wild dogs. The animals are a mongrel breed and were Jeft on the bUand by whalers. The dogs have become wild and extremely vicious. They are wolflike In their habits and run In droves." Captain Nye also tells of a remarkable lake on the Island of Chatham at an ele vation of 3000 feet above the sea level. This lake, according to the captain, rises and falls with the tide and no sounding line has ever reached its bottom. Many relics of an ancient race were .found. Immigrant Held Again hy Officers.
