Smith Wins Wrestling Match.
Strangler Smith last night evened
accounts with Adolph Drews, winning
three of four falls at the Commercial
Club gymnasium. The first fall went
to Drews on what might technically be
called a fluke, but the strangler took
the second, third and fourth falls, A
large crowd saw the match, with which
the spectators seemed well pleased.

Pure Water May Have Effect
There is some speculation as to the
effect the bringing In of pure mountain
water will have on the sale of beer
during the warm months. Some men
drink beer now because they can't bear
to drink the Spring valley mixture,
while a considerable number drink
beer now and always because they
can't bear to drink anything else. It
Is not believed, however, that moun
tain water will be acceptable with all
unless mixed with the extract of bar
ley. Port Townsend Call.

No Charge for Examining the Eyes
KATHERINE WADE, Graduate Optician
. ' At Owl Drug Store
Elner Byer, a member of the great
flsh-handllng house of Rudolph Kan
tow of Hamburg, Germany, spent yes
terday in Astoria, the guest of Samuel
Elmore. There Is no other concern In
the German empire so extensively en
gaged In the handling of pickled and
frosen salmon as the house of Rudolph
Kaniow. Through this house the
product of the cold-storage plants of
the Columbia River Packers' Assocla
tlon finds Its way into the retail mar
kets, and great quantities of 8cotch
herring are also distributed.
Mr. Byer Is one of those Germans
who learned English In the schools of
his native country. He is about 36
years of age and quite Interesting.
Slow of speech, his English Is at all
times accurate, and his Idea of Am
erica, and particularly the Pacific
Northwest, Is Indeed a high one. He
had never before visited this country,
and the more he travels the greater
becomes his admiration for America
and everything American.
yesterday afternoon Messrs. Byer
and Elmore visited the east end cold-
storage plant of the Packera Mr.
Byer had never before seen the salmon
put through the pickling process. For
tunately there was a goodly supply of
salmon on hand, and the visit to the
plant proved of great Interest to the
foreign Ashman. He was amaxed at
at the quantity and quality of the fish
and pleased beyond measure at the
excellence of the methods employed In
preparing the salmon for market
He Likes America.
Mr. Byer came west over the Cana
dlan Pacific railway and stopped for
a time at Bamss Springs, B. C. He
reached Astoria yesterday.
"What do I think of Amerlcar Mr,
Byer repeated after a press represen
tative. "Why. I think It Is Indeed i
great country the greatest country In
the world. Tour northwest is destined
to become very great and wealthy.
Tou have Immense mines of gold, sil
ver, coal and other minerals; great
forests of the finest trees In the world;
fisheries surpassing In extent those of
any other country, and grain fields
that can not be equaled anywhere.
You have the greatest natural re
sources I have ever seen, and I look
to see the northwest become one of
the most prosperous sections of your
great country."
Salmon Market Outlook.
"What is the outlook for the pickled
and froxen salmon Industry, Mr. Byer?"
was asked.
"I regard It as most promising. Of
course, the business is a growing one
and will not attain its proper propor
tions for some years to come. How
ever, Columbia river salmon is In
greater demand every year. There is
not a hotel, restaurant, cafe or ther
similar resort In Germany, Including
railroad stations, where salmon sand
wlches are not to be found. Salmon
Is growing steadily In popularity and
gradually a very extensive market Is
being created for it. Sharp competi
tion among salmonmen has had the
effect of reducing profit to the mini
mum, and perhaps the additional ef
fect of injuring the market, but this is
a condition that will regulate Itself In
time. Generally speaking, I should say
the salmon market outlook is very
bright"
Some idea of the Immense business
of the house of which Mr. Byer Is a
member can be gained from the state
ment that it pays annually more than
50,000 marks In cold-storage charges.
The firm does not operate storages of
Its own, as they can be rented almost
as cheaply as the house could operate
them, and the firm Is thereby relieved
of all the worry Incidental to conduct
of the cold-storage department
Mr. Byer left last night for San
Francisco. He will return to Astoria
In 10 days, and at that time will study
the entire method of catching salmon,
visiting the traps and seines and ob
serving the operations of the gillnet
fishermen. His researches are calcu
lated to put his firm in closer touch
with the salmon business.
