Mr. Clark has recently been In Raker

that county. Thv defalcation Is sup
posed to be due largely to the deputy

Of the salmon market the Sart Fran.
ctsco Trade Journal says: A feature
of the market I a final drop In open
quotations for pink and chums, with
even the lower price not having a re
vivifying effect. Pinks are weak at
62 1-2 to 55 cents and chums at 40 to
45 cents. The price of pinks are the
lowest since 1S9S when they opened at
i2 1-2, Advanced to 47 1-2 cents and i:lo.i
cd tho season at 50 cents. Tho pack
last year was quite heavy and In the
absence of much of a demand the slock
now held by first hands Is plnced at
around 400,000 cases of pinks, alul of
chum It appear safe to say that fully
65 percent of the total pack Is In first
hands, At the low prices quoted for
both pinks and chum quite a loss will
ave to be met by canner with tock
atlll In hand, a also by the' trade with
stocks unsold. We are Informed that
the r. P. & N. compapy has told pinks
at 60 cents New York delivery which
figure places the price at about 50 tts,
on the sound. Alaska teds and also

Health Officer at Thl Port.
Following i the text of the resolution
Introduced by Councilman Jen H
Hansen Monday evt-nlng recommending
th retention of a state health officer;
Whereas, the federal quarantine act
of February U. 18S3 (27 statutes at
large, peg? UH) Provide that the Unit
ed States quarantine officer of each
port of the United States, where c.uar
antlne stations are established, shall
coo x-rate with the state and municipal

officers in enforcing tho state or mu-

quate to prevent Ihe Introduction of
contagion or infectious diseases from
foreign rouutrles Into the United Slates
or from one state in the United State
to another, and, whereas, It Is a known
fact that bubonic plague has existed
In part of Han Francisco for more than
one yer and also exists in the fcrm of
an epld-smlc on the coast of Mexico, and
there Is great danger of its beln In
troduced Into Oregon, and as the lives
of our people are more important than
the trivial cost of maintaining the pro

the right and duty of protecting the
health of Its Inhabitants constitute one
of the soverign rights of a state, and
under Its police control, and should not
be surrendered to others, therefore be
Resolved, by the ommon council of
Astoria, That we express ourselves In
favor of retaining a state health of

that the stati liw be aT-.'ed so rs tc

For folks were aware
That she got the stare
Because her old dad owned the stough.
The elder Rooth acquired a skull for
use In "Hamlet" in an odd
STORY OF manner, according to a
A SKULL story In Seen and Heard.
The tragedian, somewhat
in his cups, was traveling near Louis
ville, when he took a horse from a field
and rode off with It. Horse-stealing
at that time was a capital offenee in
Kentucky, and the greatest horse thief
was a man named Fontaine. Rooth
was soon overtaken, and when asked
whore he got the animal said:
I captured him in a field back there"
"Indeed." said one of the farmers.
"And what might your name be?"
'My name U Fontaine," said Rooth,
without a smile.
Fontain?" ejaculated both men at
once. "Then you are the very man we
want. Come back to town with us."
'Certainly," said Rooth, In the most
good-natured manner, and, wheeling
the horse, he rode back to Louisville,
with his captors.
The city jail was then in charge of
Colonel Thomas, who knew Booth
well. "We nave brought you Fontaine
the hsrse thief and claim the reward,"
said the farmers, proudly, addressing
the jailer.
"Where Is he?" they were asked.
Booth was produced. "Why, what does
this mean, Mr. Booth?" asked Thomas.
T haven't the slightest idea," said
the great tragedian, with the utmost
simplicity. "I met these two men with
this horse, and they insisted upon giv
ing it to me. I guess they stole It. I
think one of them is Fontaine."
The rustics were about to be locked
up, when, by the most singular rolncl
dence, a man rushed to the prison door
on horseback and shouted out the in
formation that the real Fontaine had
been taken Into custody. Booth made
Fontaine' acquaintance In jail, and the
horBethtef, who was executed later, left
by will his skull to the actor.

PIGS spring we have learned
considerable about swine
raising,' . When the pigs are young
feed them milk; It Is not necessary to
stick your finger In their mouth to
make them drink. They know how to
start, but unless the mtlk gives out
they dont know how to stop. When
they grow larger feed them anything
you Ilk and they'll like It too. Pigs are
not particular. Some people put rings
in pigs' noses for ornaments, but we
do not consider this necessary, If the
pltf has a pretty curl in Its tall. A
stockman told us that pigs llFte coal,
but we haven't fed any since the strike,
as tliey seemed to like corn just as
well. Our pigs will be placed on the
market soon, after which we expect to
buy a new overcoat or a pair of sus
penders.
