UN
SEASON
OPENED
Good
Run Expected Along
the Columbia.
MOST PROPITIOUS OUTLOOK
Frlees Are Exceptionally Hlh and
Canneries Are Prepared to Begin
Operations on a Larce Scale.
Astoria, April 17. The fishing sea
son opened at noon yesterday, and pre
parations have been made by both fish
ermen and cannerymen for handling
the largest pack put up on this river
for years. An unusually large num
ber of boats went out, and every can
nery is prepared to begin operations on
a large scale at once, and, with the ex
ceptionally good prices prevailing for
both raw and canned salmon, every in
dication points to a most successful
season. ..
As to the run of fish, of course, noth
ing can be foretold, but under natural
conditions some deoided results should
be obtained from the artificial propa
gation that has been carried on more
or less successfully on the Columbia
river and its branches during the past
few years. Last season a few of the
fry turned out from the hatcheries in
1896 returned to the river, and this
year the returns should be laigely in
creased. While the work of artificial
propagation on a systematic basis has
but just commenced on the Columbia,
still it has been carried on to some exi
tent since 1895, and during that time
nearly 70.000,000 young salmon have
been placed in the river and its tribu
taries. Statistics gathered by the fish
eiies committee of the Progressive As
sociation show the amount of fry from
the several hatcheries to be as follows:
In 1895 and 1896
Clackamas 8,687,000
Kalama 4,000,000
Total 7,687,000
In 1896 and 1897
Clackamas 8,842,000
Kalama 2,300,000
Chinook 1,000,000
Total 12,142,000
In 1897 and 1898
Clackamas 6,600,000

LOCATED IN A DREAM.
In Investigation Froved That Mrs.
Bauder's "Hunch" Was Straight.
Chicago, April 17. Mrs. George
Baudes whose husband deserted her
it Quincy, 111., last September, has
located him through a dream. Buuder
spent last night in the county jail as
i result. Mis. Bauder applied to Jus
,ico Hall for a warrant, telling the fol
lowing story:
After her husband left her she moved
to St. Louis, where her mothei -in-law,
whom she had never seen, lived. She
introduced herself as a fortune-teller,
and told the elder woman the details
of her son's life. Mrs. Bauder, sr.,
then admitted that he was in Chicago.
The deserted wife then moved to
this oity, but could find no trace of her
husband. On Wednesday night, how
ever, she dreamed she saw him at
work in a bioycle factoiy i:ear an im
mense building. That day she passed
Tattersall's, and reooanized it as being
the big structure of her dream. Search
ing the neighborhood, she soon found
the bicycle factory. Satisfied that her
husband worked there, she secured the
warrant and visited the place with a
deputy. Bauder was soon located.
At first he denied his identity, but
later confessed he was the woman's
husband. He will be given a hearing
this afternoon.
