Charles fieilborn Son The lute run of salmon thin year ha started an agitation for extension of Iht fishing season to a later date than August 16. Homo of the packer ex pire the opinion that It la not right to atop ojieratloiis Juat at the time when the liver I full of fish, but thut opera tions should be continued for a few week longer, at leaat. livery one agreea that thi bountiful supply of salmon from July 20 to Aug ust 15 waa the direct result of arti ficial propagation. The fish were turned out of the state and govern ment hatcheries four or five years ago. and It la only reasonable to suppose that next year run will be even greater thun that which characterized the close of the 1003 season. Every year the; hatch erlee turn out more young fish than during the preceding year, and the hatchery run ha thu fur come Into the river at a late dnt-about July 20. From that time until the end of the season the supply la ao great that the cannerleg are utterly unable to handle the offering. "Why should the pucker be deprived of the gr pat est part of the Immense run of nsh?" la the question asked. "What benefit I derived from arti ficial propagation If the canneries are compelled to close down Just at the height of the run?" It I pointed out that extension of the aon for two weeks to Septem ber 1 would add fully 150.000 casea of flah (worth almost 11,000.040) to the pack. This year the pack was not great enough to meet order, and the demand ta ateadily increasing. The rtsh were of excellent quality at the close of the season, and the reputation of royal chlnook salmon would not have suffered had operations been continued for another two works. It I the. aim of the fisheries depart ment of Oregon to restore the early runs of fish, but there will be no re sult from this effort fur three or four years to come, owing to the late atart made. Then again. It will be much more difficult to restore the early sup ply than It waa to stock the river with lute fish, and It may be a decade be fore the desired result Is attained. So strong a sentiment haa been awak ened for an extended season that the matter will probably be brought up at the next session of the legislature. As It Is at present the packing season lasts only about 35 days, during which time practically all of the pack la put up. The new proposed plan would redound to the great benefit of the canners, for the price of fish always falls dur ing big run. SETTLERS ARE INDIFFERENT Lack of Interest in Matter of Re districting County Of late several request fur Informa tion as to the, time for redisricting the county have reached the county court, and yesterday County Clerk Clinton waa Instructed to Inform correspond ents that the districts would be altered at th January term. The court recently suggested to the people of the outlying precincts that they get together for the, purpose of recommending the extent of districts, but a yet ho received no result. It is possible under the new law to alter districts frequently, which will oper ate to the benefit of the aettleris living In the country. Often there 1 need of making dis trict large ones, and the Nehalem road case la cited a an insftince. This road will cease to be a county proposition after next year's levy Is exhausted. It Up a large region and la of equal ben e fit to all the people. It Is felt by coun ty officials that people Vvlng along the route of the road should get together and asl- for the establishment of a big district, that It cost would not be so severely felt. After the road Is finish ed through to Jewell the district could be again divided up Into smaller dis tricts for the purpose of building branch roads out to the main highway Thl matter Is one of the utmost lm portance to the people of the county, and members of the court feel that they are not, displaying proper regard for their own Interests. '.l G3TS " Beauty : is but skin deep" was probably meant to disparage beauty. In stead it tells how "easy that beauty is to attain. "There is no beauty like the beauty of health" was also meant to dis parage. Instead it encour ages beauty. Pears' Soap is the means of health to the skin, and so to both these sorts of beauty. ; . .

County Judge Trenchard Is hopeful, that work may be begun on a new court house within A year's time. The prospect are bright and unless plans miscarry the fund already started will be sufficiently large to Justify com mencement of th work. It I purposed by Judge Trenchard and associate In the management of county affairs. Com mlimloners Young and Clark, to build a court house that will cost between 150, 900 and 160,000 and be an ornament to thl county of poor public buildings. There 1 at present In the court house fund the sum of 11,664.45, representing the Z-mlll levy heretofore made, The levy will net more with each succeed ing yeor, and by the time the next col lection of taxes Is mode there will prob ably be enough money on hand to com mence work. "We make a separate court house levy each year," said Judge Trehchard yesterday. "Our first levy wo 2 mill and one additional 2-mlll levy Is to be collected. Next year the Nehalem road levy run out and we wilt be enabled then to increaaa the court house levy. The object of the county court I to keep down the total tax levy as much a possible. After next year, when the, Nehalem road levy of 2 mill run out, we will have ome margin on which to go. We hope also to reduce the other levies and Increase the court house tax while effecting a general reduction. The Increase In the valuation of next year's roll ought to net much more money for the fund. - "It I my idea that we should com mence work when the fund reaches 115.000. The building of the court house will require fully two years and start Ing with & fi5,000 fund; nearly the en tire amount necessary could be collect ed ibefore the work was finished." "What are your Ideas of the arch itecture of the court house and Its cost?" waa asked. ' "I believe we should expend between $50,000 and (60,000 on the structure. The county I a permanent Institution and our Improvements should be of a per manent nature. I would oppose the er ection of anything but a modern build ing a practically a waste of public funds. The court house should. I be lieve, be of two stories and an attic, the first atory to be of stone and the upper stories of pressed brick. This would make an attractive and sub stantial structure, and would, I feel, give public satisfaction." "Would you favor the building of a Jail within the court house?" "No. air; I would not." was Judge Trenchard's emphatic reply. "The Jail should be separate from the courthouse and I would vigorously oppose the plan you refer to." There was formerly some talk of a Joint court house and city hall, but nothing has been heard of this proposal of late, The members of the county court, while not committing themselves, seem to be opposed to a Joint city and county building. At all events, they will permit the city officials to make all the overtures In this direction, and will then reach a decision one way or another. GRADERS WORKING BEYOND OLNEY C. Chrlstensen, who Is employed on the Nehalem road, was In town this morning. He reports that the grading outfit la now working half a mile be yond Olney, where the big hill Is be ing leveled. The grade to Olney Is al most finished, and In a week or 10 day will doubtless be completed. It 1 the purpose to lay crushed rock on the road to a depth of 18 Inche south from that point where the plank road eids about a mile this side of Olney. There are 80 men at work on the grade and they are well satisfied except with their ra tions, which have caused frequent com plaint. SAMPLE CANS OF SARDINES Sample cana of sardine are being put up at the foot of Tenth street by theHemlow PacklngCompany. The fish are. of good size, 16 averaging to the can. A pack will not be put up this season, the company's only aim at present being to see what can be done with the Columbia river Variety. , So far the test la In every way successful and next season operations will be car ried on In earnest. The fact that the flah were so large at the begining of the present run prevented any real work being done up to date. v REGULAR SESSION OF COUNTY COURT The county court met yesterday in regular monthly session and its time was occupied principally with consider ation of claims, A few road mattars were also attended to. In the matter of road district No. 11, the report of the viewers was received, and the super visor of district No. 4 was allowed J.'O extra money to Improve the county road from Youngs bay to Clatsop City. The court will meet again this morning, and during the day will visit the Lewis and Clark bridge and perhaps make an inspection along the Nehalem highway. . GEORGE W. HUME HERE George W. Hume arrived from Cali fornia yesterday on the steamer Col umbia to be present when the big Hume mill commences operations next Saturday. Mr. Hume is In excellent health and 1 looking better than for some time. He went out to the mill yesterday ' and expressed satisfaction with th manner in which the work Is D. K. Warren Is Dangerously III Well Known Astorian Lying at the Point of Death at His Country Home. D. K. Warren Is lying seriously ill at hi country home at Warrenton, and fear are entertained that he may not recover from his present lllnesa. On Sunday Mr. Warren was stricken with angina pectoris, the most painful of all form of heart failure, and since that time hi condition ha been consid ered extremely serious. The latest re port from hi Warrenton home last night was that the patient was still In a precarious condition, but that be ehowed improvement since mcmlng. Drs. J. A. Fulton and Alfred Kinney are In attendance upon Mr. Warren, and Miss McDowell, who is regarded as the, most proficient trained nurse In Oregon, came down yesterday from Portland and went immediately to the Wert Side. Dr Kinney wa at the Warren home Tuesday night, and when he left for the city yesterday morning the sufferer wa better than the night prevlou. Dr. Fulton went down yesterday, returning last evening and he made an equally fa vorable report. "Mr. Warren la very HI," Dr. Fulton said, "and It 1 difficult at this time to state whether or not he will pull through. He appeared to be somewhat improved when I left this af ternoon, although still suffering greatly It is my opinion that he will come through the present attack, but there la nothing certain about it. His con dition 1 still critical. Mr. Warren wa first attached with angina pectoris In June and suffered greatly at that time. The present at tack Is much more severe, however,and Ma friends are fearful that he may not survive It. All the members of his family are at Warrenton, and. news of his condition is anxiously awaited by his friends in Astoria. HARRY MORSE REACHES PORT Brings Packers' Association's Pack of 29,200 Cases The Columbia River Packers' Asso claton bark Harry Morse reached port last evening from Bristol bay, Alaska, bringing the pack of the company's Nushagak cannery. Tne exact pack of the cannery was 20,200 cases and 14 barrels of salted salmon. Captain Reynolds came ashore last evening and said he had a fine trip down. He left Unlmak Pass August 22 In company with the ship Berlin, and at 10 a. m. of the same day passed the steamer Argyll towing the ship A. J. Fuller, bound through the pass and steering west-northwest. The Morse was the first vessel to de part from Astoria for Nushagak, the first to arrive there, the first to leave on the homeward trip and the first to arrive home. When she reached Bris tol bay on the passage up the .sea waa filled with Ice. . Captain Reynold's action in coming ashore last night haa involved him with the marine hospital service. His ves sel Is temporarily In quarlntlne and haa not yet been examined by Dr. Earle. The mater has been reported to Wash ington and the official of the depart ment will reach a decision probably in a few days. . . , It was reported yesterday afternoon that the ship Berlin, .belonging to the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, was in the offlnc. but Captain Ileynolds expressed the belief that this was a mis' take. The (Berlin brings the ISO men employed at the cannery and 43,000 sases of salmon. New This Veelt Ladies' Suits and Skirts Fall Styles 1903 THE A. DUNBAR CO CABBIES A FINE STOCK OF S. A.
