j Portland, Aug. 11. (Special.) The

J With the fishing season on the Co

canned salmon will reach 300,000, and
(that lust year's pack of pickeled fish
j time, far range from 150,000 to 200,000
cases. Last season the canneries turned
out SOfrOOO eases. The best salmon have
already passed the fishing grounds and
those that will be' caught the next 13
daya are expected to be Inferior, accord
ing to the rule of past seasons. The
outlook for good prices, for the Co
lumbia river product Is favorable, owing
to the short pack of sockeyes on Puget

Disabled for 14 Hour.
New York, Aug. II. For 24 hours the
ilamlruig'Amerii-an liner Jraf Waldersee
drifted at the mercy of a hurricane
which struck her during the tran-At-lantii
voyage which the steamship fin
ished today in safety. On arrival at their
pier today, only two hour late, the pas
senger held areccption to thank Cap
tain A. Kreeh for bringing them safety
through the greatest trm experienced
in the history of the (iraf Waldersee,
and probably one of the worst ever faced
by an Atlantic liner.
The storm began in the morning of
August 2. A few hour later wave were
rolling over tlj- ship, all passenger
were hxked lieneath deck and bags of
oil were hung over the ship' aides for
M hours as a protection. During the
24 hours the wave ran so high that
the steering gear of the liner wa in
adequate to keep her in her course, -end
the ship practically drifted with the
s'forni. Smie lifeboat and deck of the
upper structures were carried overboard
by. the waves.

Heartily Cheered.
Manila, Aug. 11. A banquet given by
natives to the Taft party tonight at
tracted great interest as it was expected
Mr. Taft would outline the policy of
the present administration. For some
time past the feeling among the natives
has been tlst thsj ftdmli Jstratlon is
deviating from the McKinley policy and
as a result there is noticeable disaffec
tion among politicians with the -insular
government and also much unrest.
This attitude was met fearlessly by
Secretary Taff who upheld the admin
istration's insular policy. Whfn he
finished his addres he w'as . loudly
cheered.
and sockeye prices are expected to
jump to 11.50. This would make the
value of Columbia river salmon some
thing like $1.75, but the later product
has already been sold at $1.55 for pound
flats, $1.43 for tails and 90 cents for
halve. Alaska reds, unlike sockeye and
Chinook prices, have been tending down
ward from $1 to 90 cents.
A canneryman said yesterday that
half the catch so far this season has I
gone Into cohlstorage, especially because
of the large size of the fish. Now the
coldstorage plant are shutting down
because the fish are growing unsuitable
for their use. The wheele of the upper
Columbia river have fared poorly this
season, owing to the low water, which
has left them high and dry and the
pack of fUhwheel canneries will prob
ably not exceed 15,000 cases.

EAGLE BREWERY BURNED
DOWN AT GIANTS PASS.
Damage Between $6,000 and $i,ooo Fire
Start in Boiler room.
Grants Pas, Ore., Aug. 11. The brew
ery and ice plant of the Eagle Brewing
company of this city1, which were com
pleted but a few months ago, were total
ly destroyed by fire early yesterday
morning. Being beyond the fire limits
and out of reach of hydrants or fire
plugs, nothing could be done to check
the flames, and the large building and
entire plant were burned, entailing
loss of between $0,000 and $3,000.
The fire is supposed to have originat
ed in the boiler-room of the plant. The
brewery and ice plant were in operation
as usual the day before, and at closing
time the fires in the furnace were smoth
ered, but the flames are believed to have
been started by a spark from the fur
nave. -Within ft short time ftfter the
first discovery of the fire the building
was enveloped in flames, and the ex
ploding ammonia tanks, pipes and boiler
made it extremely dangerous to ap
proach the burning plant The alarm
waa aoumtcd, and, though the brewery
was located across Rogue river, one mile
from town, several hundred people
rushed across the bridge to view the
fire. The explosion of the tanks threw
great chunks of burning timbers into
the crowd, but fortunately no one was
hurt The owners are undecidea as to
rebuilding the plant.
