X tons J raid f fishermen $1,3 n, 14 1 ASTORIA, Or., Aug. K. (Special.) At noon today the Spring fishing season on the Columbia River came to an end, and the Fall season will open September 10. So far as can be ascertained, all fish ing operations ceased promptly "at 12 o'clock today,, but four boats will patrol the river to see that the closed season Is strictly observed. While the result of the season Just closed has been a disappointment, when compared with the expectations early in the Spring, the season has not been a lallure by any means, as the figures rep resenting the total pack will show, not withstanding the apparent efforts of all concerned to create the Impression that Xew fish were being put up. Plants Are Not Crowded. The year has been a peculiar one, as there has not been a single big run that is, one when the plants could not easily handle all the fish delivered and more. Early In the Spring fairly good catches were made, especially by the gillnetters working near the mouth of the river, and the fish averaged large, the majority of them going into the cold-storage park. In fact, the entire season, with the exception of the last two or three weeks, has been one of bar-flshlng, and the catches above Sand Island have av eraged small. Later in the season, when the traps. and seines failed to make any hauls of note, the packers became alarmed that they would be unable to fill their contracts with the Chinese cannery crews, and a great portion of the big fish , were turned Into the canneries. , Many Half-Pounds Put Up. Many of the plants also put up half pound cans almost exclusively for a time, with the result that the number of half cases this year Is much larger propor tionately than Is usual. In fact, several of the canneries will be able to more than Vni their orders for, " half-pounds, while their shipments of pound flatsand tails will be considerably short. . It iJ estimated that nearly 60 per cent of the cannery pack is In what are known as half cases, and this makes it doubly difficult to secure an accurate estimate of the number of full cases canned. What is commonly known as a case of salmon contains 48 one-pound cans, and, figuring on this basis, the season's pack on the Columbia River Is estimated at 257. BOO cases, or about 10,000 cases below that of last year. Cold-Storage Pack Is Short. The cold-storage pack of pickled flsh is, however, not so good and amounts to only 7035 tierces of S00 pounds each, or nearly JOOO tierces short of last year's pack. As each tierce of pickled salmon contain? about 800 pounds of cured fish and as one-third of the weight is lost in cleaning, this cold-storage pack repre sents 3752 tons of raw salmon, and as 80 tons of fish are required for each lOoO cases, the cold-storage pack Is equal to 125,000 cases of the canned product. So the total output of the Columbia River fisheries, ' If all had been canned, would amount to SR2.500 cases. This does not Include the oW or 600 tons of steelheads, sllversldes and sturgeon that have been sharp-frozen. Price Averages Six Cents. The price for the raw flsh has ranged fram 6 to 8 cents, with a provable aver age of S cents per pound, figuring on SO tons to the thousand cases, the cannery and cold-storage pack represents 11,477 tons of fish, for which $120 per ton, or a total of $1,377,140, was paid to the gill netters. trappers and seiners. It was an especially poor year for the Inside trapd on the north side of the river and the majority of the seiners did little until within the last three weeks, when nearly all were able to pull out of the hole,, and some made even more money than last year. The estimated' number of full cases put tip by each of the Individual packers Is as follows: McGowan & Sons, two canneries 19.000 Banborn-Cutting Co 21.000 Tallant-Grant Packing Co 17.6rt) A.

SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 25. (Special.) Four times Acting Police Judge J. B. Alexander has passed upon the question of the liability of a cafe-owner for keeping open after 1 A. M., when he owns a saloon In connection with hl res taurant. From the bench today he an nounced he had found that this action was in violation of the state and munici pal rode, but the decision he filed with the Clerk was exactly the opposite. When this was discovered Judge Alexander filed a new decree, sustaining his oral findings. From this the case will be appealed. Three weeks ago Carl Schmltz was arrested for keeping the Rathskeller open after I A. M. This is one of the most SALMON fashionable cafes In Seattle, and Schmlti protested that he had closed his bar. but had permitted eight or ten patrons to finish a midnight meaL After the Introduction of police evidence. Schmltz' attorneys asked a dismissal, and Judge Alexander, after considering the case several days, handed down a decision finding Schmiti guilty. Then Schmltz' attorneys showed that they had not pre sented their case, and the decree was withdrawn. Today's complication followed.

Mr. Fairbanks - congratulated the colored people upon the successful in auguration of the exposition, saying that their success was not surprising to him, as he knew something of the tenacity of their purpose. The importance of the work in which they were engaged could be better appreciated when the fact was recalled that the black race now consti tutes more than 10 per cent of the popu lation of the United States. The expo sition, he said, is a hopeful elgn, not only because It illustrates what the negro has been able to accomplish in the in dustrial arts in a comparatively few years but It shows that he appreciates tne value of ccNperatlon. The advance of education and industry Is to encourage two of the mightiest factors In the up building of any race. A broad opportunity, he said, lies be fore the colored race. What it will be come will depend on what "it does.- In the final analysis people advance only by virtue of their own efforts. The fu ture of the colored race was in Its own hands. "Make it worthy of yourselves, make it worthy of your country." NEGRESS CUT WITH RAZOR DINIXG-CAK PORTER'S WIFE NEAR. LV MURDERS RIVAL. Calls Victim Into Yard and Accuses Her of Receiving- Attention.
