Pittsburg, June 10. The widespread
belief that William J. Bryan will bolt
the democratic ticket In the event of
the nomination of Judge Parker of
New York; for the presidency la not
shared by J. K. Jones, chairman of
the national democratic committee. Mr.
Jones Is not so aure Mr. Bryan would
remain In the ranks of the unterrlfled
if Ur. Cleveland were to be nominated,
but he thinks this question one not
properly to be considered, because of
the Improbability of Mr. Cleveland's
nomination.
"I am confident that W. J. Bryan
wilt not bolt the ticket If Judge Par
ker should be nominated," declared Mr.
Jones this evening. "As to what Mr.
Bryan might do if Mr. Cleveland were
nominated, I could not aay, but I re-
giird the nomination of the former
president as little short of an Impos
sible contingency.
"Outside of Judge Parker, William
Randolph Hearst will have the great
est number of Instructed delegates.
regard Senator Gorman of Maryland
as one of the strongest possibilities."
Discussing the probable platform,
Senator Jones aald he believed a bl
metallsm plank would not be Inserted
in it
TURNER'S BOOM 8TARTED.
George Turner of Washington came to
St Louts today with a email but
earnest vice presidential boom. The
states of Idaho and Washington hare
Instructed their delegates to vote for
Turner for that position, and the dele'
gates from that region are making some
little stir about a Pacific coast man
for second place pending the time when
all the interest In the convention will
be swallowed up In the talk of a nom
inee for president and the platform.

COLUMBIA RIVER FRESHET
DRIVING FISH ELSEWHERE
Immense Runs on Puget Sound Attri
buted to High Water Prevailing
Here at Present Time.
Cofryylfhl 104 hy Hrt Schaffner t Mart
P. A. STOKES, One Prlc. To Ererybody
Oelllnghiun. Wash., June 30. Ac
cording to Deputy Fish Commissioner
Rlaeland of Washington state, the pre
vailing high water In the Columbia
river Is turning salmon away from that
stream and causing them to enter Pu
get sound. Mr. Rlaeland haa just re
turned from a trip to the trap loca
tions and reports thnt the greatest run
of fish In the hlstoj-y of the sound Is
now on.
Fifteen traps were visited by the
deputy Huh commissioner, and he states
that the average haul made by the?
traps Is nine tons of salmon. The
traps are located around Deception
ptiaa and at the north end of WhldbyJ
Island. The salmon are pronounced to
bo of the very finest quality, leading
the deputy to believe that they are
Columbia river chlnooks.
The waters of the sound fairly teem
with rUh and the trapmen are renplng
a harvest.
A Logical Deduction.
The opinion expressed by Mr. Rise
lund will prove of Interest In Astoria.
The run of salmon In the Columbia has
been woefully short thus far, and fish
ermen all attribute the scarcity of fish
to the high water. It Is quite reason
able to suppose that the Columbia river
fish are seeking other streams because
of the high water here.
