Concerning tbe Colombia river fisheries,
be said:
"Tbe totsl outpnt of tbe ColombisJ
river salmon fishery, since tbe enter
piiau .aa insugurated as a commercial
factor, aggregates 850,000,000 pounds,
worth $75,000,000. If all these sal
mon could be loaded on freight cars it
would require 42 500 cars to hold them,
making a solid train 2S0 miles long. No
other river or like area of water any
where on eanh has yielded such vast
wealth in ihe same period of time. If
the comprehensive law receot'y enacted
by the Oregon legislature is also passed
by the Wasbingtou lawmakers, and then
strictly enforced, tbe great industry will
continue to yield its treasures to tbe Pa
cific Northwest. At present tbo outoo,
approximates $3,000,000 per annum
one.half of which goes into the bands of
the industrial army that gathers aud
prepares the product fjr tbe markers of
tbe world.
"For a number of years there has
been a gradual diminution In tbe abund
ance ol saluiou In the Columbia river.
but during the past season tbe falling off
was so pronouueed as to alarm many
who have heretofore been indifferent.
They at last seem lo realise thai we
cannot continue to reap boantiful har
vest Indefinitely without sowing.
"The future prosperity, and, in my
opinion, tbe preservation of this great
Industry dependt upon artificial propa
gation and a strict enforcement of tbe
laws, which I believe has been made
possible under tbo act drafted by tbe
Astoria Progressive Commercial Asso
ciation, and which wss enacted into
law at tbe recent tesslon of tbo Oregon
legislation.

ths president was inclined to go farther
in the matter of ths government of Cna
than ths resolution of intervention called
for. "We declared," said he, "in fat or
of taking them to tbat point by which
they could maintain a stable government
and I do not aea how wo ean go beyond
that."
"To go to ths extent of Insuring, ss
tbs president recommends, complete

Tbs qaeatlon of ths ovenimeot of
tbs Philippines is attracting mnch at
tention," he said, ''and tbs fact tha tbe
president utterly Ignores It strikes me as
very singular,"
Senator Teller said there would be
disappointment over tbs failure of tbe
president to outline a government for
the Philippines.
On tbe recommendation in regard to
currency, Esnstor Teller said :
"Tbs friends of bimetallism, elthsr La-
tlonal or International, will find so en
couragement from anything that tbs
president says in bis message. No refer
ence is mads to International blmstalllsm
but tbs president la ths most emphatic
way Indicates bis intention to maintain
ths gold standard. Ths so-called silver
republicans wbo remain in tbs republi
can party and contend that tbs republi
can party Is frisndly to silver will find
no encouragement in ths president's
message, and it will strlks sll as some
what singular that if tbs republican
party, as it has been claimed, b in favor
of InteruatiOoal bimetallism, tbo prsst
dent makes no reference ta it."
