Prominent Cannjerymen Say They
Do Not Advocate Prolong
ation of Season.
-Prominent . tannery men, who have
been In the buslneas long enough to
know, assert that the quality of fluh
at the present time Is better than they
have esci;rleneed at any similar
period in the past. Considering the
latcnesa of the season, they say that
the quality bus been well maintained,
and for proof of the quantity they
point '.o yeterda's catch. All of the
large canneries were well stocked,
some of the finest h caught this sea
son being brought in. At an Instance
of the abundant supply, the Kinney
cannery received about IS tona from one
of t heir seines.
A representative of the Astorlan
called on sever.il of the cannerymen
yeaierday to obtu'u their views on the
subject of prolonging the season, which
under the law cks at "-o-clock to
morrow morning. There la a well de
fined sentiment cat the law lie en
forced to the letter, and the opinion
was freely expressed thit a Portland
pat ?r was unjust In Intimating the ex
istence of a. movement to extend the
season beyond the limits prescribed by
law. George H. George, secretary of
the Columbia River Puckers' associa
tion, said: "We are not at all desir
ous of prolonging the season, and I
don't believe there Is a responsible
ranner on the river who advocates such
a course. Neither are we urging the
fisherman tc cfase operations. We are
perfectly contented to run until the
closj of the searon and suKpend then.
The fish that we are receiving at the
present time are good, but the time
will certainly come when they will be
inffilor. and that time will be after
Saturday, so you can say that we will
be glad to cease operations then."
It Is stated on the best of authority
that the season a catch will not bel
short, despite predictions to the con
trary. While the fish were late In mak
ing their appearance In the river, when
they did come It was in such large
numbers that the canneries were more
than able to make u: for the de'ay.
The season closes tomorrow morning at

Could Canae Prejudice
A Expressed. .
Sofia, Aug. 13. Macedonian leaders
express then selves aa disappointed
with the distinctly hostile attitude of
America toward their cause, as mani
fested In the press. Dr. Chrlsto Tar-
tarcheff said his party vki convinced
that American newspapers bad been
bmiffht with Turkish gold.
"There seems to baMio other explan
ation of the tone of their articles," he
sild. "It Is also difficult to believe that
th Impression created by the Miss
Stone affair could have so prejudiced
the American press.
"Th band now lighting in th vlla- '
yet of Monastir consists of 9,000 to
lO.nflft men. The Turkish troops are
badly demoralised. They have re
peatedly refused to march against the
insurgent 4, who are well supplied with
arms and ammunition, chief.? pur
chased from Turkish soldiers."
He concluded by saying the commit
tee lived In daily hope that the powers
would realize the justice of their cause
