Delllnger returned on the steamer Elmore last evening from a business trip to Tillamook. He reports that he saw nothing of the Russian Baltic fleet off the coast, and that, despite Wexford Jones' wireless messages, Tillamook rock Is still stand ing.

Elmore last evening from Tillamook. He reports that the run of salmon there Is very slock and that poor catches are being made. Few fish have entered the bay, and the Indications are not at all encouraging. Just what causes the absence of the salmon Is puzzling, although it is be lieved the protracted dry spell ia par tially to blame. Report from nearly all the other coast rivers are to the same effect, and the pack of the out side rivers this fall will be very much short of that of previous seasons. Generally, 1904 has been an -off year for salmon In all districts and there is a big deficit In the total output At the meeting of the county court to be held on Wednesday next, the Question of preparing an exhibit for the Lewis and Clark fair will be taken up. The county has contracted for the expenditure of a large sum of money this, year, but despite this the court will probably take steps to make a creditable exhibit. All the counties of the state will be well represented, and it Is felt that Clatsop should also be advertised at the exposition.
