The elk was placed on exhibition and card Dinned on it announced that It had been killed by Tom Llnvllle. Frank Llnvllle verifies this report, but say the Tom Llnvllle in question was his son, and not the lord high executioner of Clatsop county. "The sheriff gave iy boy 25 for.the elk," said Frank Lln llle yesterday, In relating the Incident to a party of friends, "and since then he has bought him a suit of clothes. The lad expects other similar presents, hut I am afraid my action in giving out the story wll poll his chances," STRANGE PHENOMENON. At 1 o'clock this morning the printers on TheAstorian were somewhat startled by observing that the sky to the north had assumed a . pronounced greenish hue most beautiful to behold. The horse editor, upon being summoned, an nounced that it must be caused by a segment of the Aurora Borealls which had Jarred loose Trom SUagwoy or some other balllwlcg up there, but he was openly derided by "he assembled "prints,"' If that was not the cause, It' up to tome scientist to give the cor rect theory. One of the boys remarked, "no printer ever painted that 'taint red." ; . ACTORS BEATEN AT BASEBALL i An Interesting game of baseball was played at A. F.

Twenty Millions From Washington Commissioner Kershaw Gives an Estimate of Probable Out put of Hatcheries. According to Flh Commissioner Ker shaw, of the state of Washington, the output of the Washington hatcheries In the Columbia river difetrlct for the pres ent season will exceed 20.000,000. A re quest for a statement from Mr. Ker shaw elicited the following reply: "We have taken at the Kalama hatch ery 6,128,470 eggs and from the Wind river hatchery 2,490.000 egg. At both the Kalama and Wind river hatcheries we had the misfortune, early In the sea son, to lose our racks d'Jring the Sep tember freshlt. Had It not been for this we would probably have taken over 20 000,000 efegs In these hatcheries. At Weniitchee. Methow and Chinook hatch erles we are not 'hrough taking spawn yet, but probably will take In the neigh borhood of 12,000,000 In the three hatch eries . "On account of the failure of the sock eye run on the sound, which has caused a great falling off In our license money, we have closed down four hatcheries on the sound and three hatcheries on the Columbia river, and In all Instances this year we ore only securing eggs of the best variety of fish, entirely disre garding the humpback and dog salmon spawn." If Commissioner Kershaw's expecta tions are realised, the total output of hatchery salmon on the Columbia river district will be close to 70,000,000. The Oregon stite plants will turn out more than 30.000,000 eggs, the government plant will produce more than 15,000,000 and the Washington hatcheries will propogate more than 20,000,000. This year's output will be the largest In the history of the artificial method of prop agation. ANOTHER CANNERY TO RUN North Shore Plant's Capacity to He Increased. The launch Triton went up the river yesterday to secure the piling necessary, for the proposed extension of the north shore cannery of the Columbia River Packers' Association. The cannery Is located at Hungry harbor and has not been operated since the formation' of the association. During the winter months extensive preparations will be made there and the cannery will be capable of handling 25,000 or 30,000 cases of salmon next season. "The refitting of this plant will en able us to care for our offerings of fish next season," said Samuel Elmore yes terday, "It Is remarkable, but never theless true that the Chlnee contrac tors npportlon only about a certain number of men to each plant, and we will be In better shape with an ad ditional cannery so far as labor Is con cerned. If we undsrtook to enlarge one of our other plants to the capacity of 25,000 cases, we would be unable to se cure the necessary Chinese laborers; but we will probably experience no difficulty In Retting a full crew for the north shore plant. Just why the Chinese contractors have adopted this apparent policy of limiting each cannery to a certain number of men Is a mystery which I have never been able to satis factorily solve." It ha? been rumored for some time that the association will enlarge Its cold-storage and freezing facilities for next season, and Mr. Elmore wa ques tioned about the matter. "Well, I guess we are not liable to in-. crease our cold-storage capacity," he said, with a significant smile. "It Is possible, however, we may enlarge our fish-freezing department. Plana have been prepared with this Idea In view, but no dect3lon has yet been reached." Times are good and a few financial scares In the east will not affect the tide of prosperity. .
