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.

GRANT'S PASS, Aug. 1L (Special.)
1h& name of the company that has owned

C. Kesing's camp shack, and was going to
put in the Winter trapping. He carried
Hour and bacon as he trudged along the
trail following the lead of Kesling's
horses.

and his brother, in Lodi, Cal., came up
to search for him. After days spent in
search he gave up the chase.
Last Wednesday Albert Beck. John P.
Ofleld and Fred Herke, all engaged In
sheep-herding, were traveling up the Lit
tle Klickitat. Beck was on foot, and the
others ranged along the uplands. While
traveling along the washed-up shore of
the river, between two jutting points of
high rocks, he found a rifle. Strewn about
were bits of clothing. Two pieces of bones
were found. Herke was called. He found
a flour sack, the same that Rathburn had
carried when he last saw him nine months
ago. Further search showed a pocket
knife, an Ansonla watch, a pipe, a lead
pencil, all scattered among the rocks at
the base of the cliffs, between Mount Ar
ams and Cispus Pass.

opened here on June 14, prints a letter
from Thomas A. Edison, in reply, to
queries as to his opinions concerning mo

by which one could predict any com
mercial future for aerial navigation."

the arbitrators are to decide what part
of that sum, if any. Mexico must pay.
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.)

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

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

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.
