The fire waa In a pile of looee sawdust under the sidewalk and wa burning quite fiercely when discovered. Quick action on the part of the officer check ed what might have proved a serious conflagration. A lighted cigar stump no doubt caused the blaze.

The packing of salmon on the Pacl flo coaat has furnished a big market for boxes. The total number of cases packed from the Inception of the In dustry. In 1S66, to 1S99. aggregated 35. 751,305 cases. Allowing five fet tothe case, this would give a total of 178,755, 525 feet of spruce lumber that have been utilized for this purpose In thirty three years. In 1S99 3.13S.O40 caaes were pneked en the const Owing to un favorable conditions on the Columbia River.

The lumbering Industry of Oregon should receive a direct and powerful stimulus In the near future as a result of the cessation of hoetlllttes in South Africa, snys a writer In the Columbia River, and Orcgm Timbcrm.m. Ac cording to the opinion of lumber experta It will be only a few months until a great emigration will set In towards the Transvaal and other parts of the African continent. Its Inducements to settlers once the Boers' troubieg are completely over are not exceeded by any other place on earth. South Afri ca Is devastated by war. She Is bereft of developed resource. Excepting min ing and a tittle old-fashioned farming there Is little to work on; the soli Is of wonderful fertility. The country Is sadly lacking In timber necessary for extended operations. The supply will have to be Imported front other coun tries. Tha British Columbia, mills have furnished four cargoes in the past three months for South Africa and four more vesaHs are now en route to load. The Bound mills furnished two cargoes In July aggregating 1,7!8,21 feet. The Co lumbia river mills should bestir them selves and reach out for a share of this trade. . . M ! Chloperk Bros., wholesale fish deal er of Seattle, received thla week a fish by one of Its craft whoae Kino is believed never to have been caught on this roast b'-fore, says the Beattle Trade ItegltT. It Is built perch-like and may be called a sunflsh.

The fish Is beautifully formed, and beauti fully colored. Bright silver spots the size of a ten-cent plc cover the dark-to-light gray ground of the body; Its fins, one dorsal abwve and one below, two anal fins and two pectoral, and also Its tall, are red, or rather dark-to-llght vermllllon, covered with white spot the size of the silver spot men tioned. Tlie nose of the fish Is bright vermilion. It was caught In 700 feet off Cape Flattery. Altogether It Is a tare looklnr bird, and may find a place In one nf the L'nltd Btates museums Chlopeck Bros, have the fish In cold storage awaiting the United Btates fl nli commissioner, who Is expected at Seattle dally. PACIFIC COAST SALMON PACK. Some Interesting Items Regarding th Season Just Closed. The Columbia river spring and sum mer pack Is over, and is closely figured at 2fi0.000 cases. Some of the product Is still on offer at $1.70, I1.S5 and J1.0TV4 for talis. f'Bt and halves respectively. Outside Oregon rivers are still on offer as quoted last week af $1.00 for red and $1.25 for Chinook. No newg yet aa to the run. The Pug'-t Sound aoekeye pack la over, but the fish Is still on offer at M.M, SI, 63 and $105, the new prices made for tails, flat and halves respec tively. The Grlfhth-Durney Company the past week have made quite a few sal?s of their Aluka red at $1.10, aa they still hold to the view that the total lu-k of the territory will reach 1.200.000 cases. There Is a war of opinion here as to the ahortag of the entire pack of the coast aa compared with lost year, some maintaining that It will be 700,000 cases, while others are unwilling to admit more than 300.000. From report" and Information gath ered by the California Product Co. es timated salmon pack, 1900, stands aa follows to date: '. British Columbia Fraser river sock eyes. 72,000 cases. Northern and outside river sockeyes, 216.500 cases. Columbia river spring catch, 259.000 cases. Sockeyes, Puget Sound, packed by Pacific American combine. 61,600 cases. Sockeyes, packed by the Alaska Pack ers' Association. 6S.300 cases. 8ockeyes. all other canneries together, 62.000 cases. Spring pack. Including Tyees, 44,500 cases. Alaska pack will undoubtedly ex ceed 1,000,000 case. Compared with the pack of 1899. Co lumbia river shows a shortage of 40, 000 cases. Puget sound shows a shortage of 300.000 cases. Fraser river shows a shortage of 290.000 cases. OuUlde British Columbia rivers about equal to last year's pack. This represents the bull view. Oth ers place the pack of the northern and outside rivers of British Columbia at 250,000 casfs, and the shortage on the Fraser river at 311,000. The bull side does not figure much on the fall pack, though nearly 300,000 case of Hump backs were put up on the Sound last year, aa they say there are no fish running and will not be, while the other side says it Is too early to figure on this. The difference of opinion on the Alaskan pock Is already shown.- -San Francisco Grocer. WHERE PEARL COMES FROM. The pearl fisheries of the Dead Sea extend the whole length of that water. About three hundred boats are employ ed by the Arab tribes, manned by crews of from five to twelve men, each pro vided with a number of small canoes. There are two fishing seasons of the year, and this treasure Is said to be oftentimes aa elusive as a far more precious treasure Health, for which so many search uselessly. The surest guide to health Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an Invaluable remedy for stomach disorders, recommended by the best physicians for the past fifty years.
