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

WABBLES ON' THE BENCH
Seattle Police Judge Fines Owner
of Cafe.
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.

him. a committee of prominent citizens
having been appointed to receive him
Ha then lunched at the' Columbus Club
and spoke at Grove City in the afternoon
with Mr. Washington, addressing the Ohio
Colond Industrial Exposition.
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."
