GOOD GOODS. WE SELL ICE RESUME OF THE STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY BY COMPETENT AU THORITY AND INCLUDING THE WHOLE PACIFIC COAST FOR 1900 The following facts' and figures in relation to the IfMHJ catch of salmon, on the entire Pacific C'oat, is taken from the Ban Francisco Trade Journal, of August 11th, and is demed to be a fair and accurate resume of the altuution, to date, by qualified authority here, and la republished, as the best, most concise and comprehensive trade, report in this relation, put out this seasons "The market for both JftU packed and canned salmon at this writing la at ea, and no one engaged in the industry appears to know where be stands so fur as regards prices for Alaska, reds. This condition has been brought on by pack ing returns that are coming in covering this year's pack. The pack of salt sal mon Is very small, while that of canned salmon is the smallest since IB!)", with the carry-over almost nothing. Henry Fortmann, president of the Alaska Pack ers' Association, gives the total pack of Bering Sea at 800,500 cases, against 1,000,643 caws lat yenr. Ills returns for this year are as follows In eaess Alaska Packers, 4HO.000; Xorth Alaska Salmon.

Total, 130,000. Southwestern Alaska pack not In, but reports from Prince Williams sound and Cooks inlet are of email run. "Joseph Durney, president and man ager of Grifllth.Durney Co., reports as follows: We have just received a tele gram from the Puget Sound advising us that aockeyes have atopped and that there are no more in eight. We can, therefore, safely estimate this year'a pack, aa compared with last, as follows: 1903 1900 Alaska, . . ...1390.000 1.700,000 Fraer river 877,000 "ldO.OOO Rivers Inlet and Skeena river 290,000 . 225,000 Puget Sound (sockeyes, cohoe and chums) 1.082.000 125,000 Columbia river 420.000 225,000 Outside river 133.000 150,000 , SUITS BOUGHT AT WISE'S PRESSED ' : ?RE WHENEVER.

The Columbia river pack may be increased ft few thousand cases; the Alaska pack is over, and no chance for an increase; there may be a slight in crease ou the Fraser river and the Puget Sound, but not to any extent. At any rate, we predict right now that the entire Pacific Co4 pack of salmon will not exceed 3,000,000 cases. This will show a shortage of at least 1,500,000 cases as compared with last year.' ' "Mr. Fortmann says that not in his experience of 22 years in the industry has ho seen such a year as the present. He states that this year small runs are reported by every district on the coast, whereas heretofore when the run was small in one district it was large in an other. The editor of the Trade Journal ca nconflrm Mr. Fortmann's experience, and go back to 1872. when first identified with foicicn and eastern firms as cor respondent on the coast, and say that he has not seen such a season. It looks very much as if the sliortnge ought to make higher prices for reds, medium reds and pinks that had been thought possible. The Fraser river canners have made the following prices for sockeyes: For Australia, per case, for Fraser river, 8.32 for half-pounds and $0.24 for one pound Huts, no price for talis; for Riv ers Inlet, $7.70 for halves, $0 for flats, no prace for talis. For Canada, $5.85 for Fraser river tails, $(1 for flats and $7 for halves, f. 0. b. British Columbia ship ping points. The higher cost of Fuget Sound cannine this year will bring sock- eyes there well up. The price of raw fish have ranged from 30 to 40 cents each; to this must be added the cost of collecting the same and transporting to canneries. It tnkes on an average twelve sock-eves to rmike a ease of tho canned product, which with transportation brings the cost of raw flsh up to $3.75 to $5.25 per case, or nn average of $4.00. This is the hihest figure ever known. To this must be added the cost of tins, canning, boxes, etc." Regatta Committee Meeting. The re- .gatta committee met last night in the headquarters room and continued the work of preparing for the regatt. The chairman of the various committees re ported on the progress of their respective portions of the work, which showed that things are going along in good shape. Chairman Troyer stated that he waa go ing ahead with his preparations for the water polo exhibition, and the boys around town are all beginning to take interest in this novel sport. It ia prob able that a log rolling contest will be held in connection with the regular pro gram of sports. There seems to be not much hope of securing the single scull boat race between Goss and Pape and the Vancouver oarsman on account of the time being too limited in which to train for the race. At least that is the excuse which the oarsmen give. Dan Kelly, the fast sprinter; in answer to letter from the chairman of the regatta committee on land sports states that he cannot as yet say whether he will accept the committee's proposition to give an exhibition run of 100 yard, during the regatta. He is in doubt whether the Amateur Athletio Associa tion would countenance his accepting his expenses to Astoria and return, but lmi written to the president inquiring as to whether such action would endanger his amateur standing, and if it does not, will probably accept. There will be a dog show, and a baby show, and the automobile race is assured. Thee at tractions will be something new and should furnish niuch amusement. The matter of selecting a queen will be set tled upon at the next meeting in all probability, as also that of an admiral. The committee adjourned to meet again on Thursday night. Banning Sleeper Motorman Eugene Bussing was running a "sleeper on the "A. ft C." line for a while yesterday morning. A half tipsy, and altogether sleepy fellow, boarded the car down town somewhere, and rode to the east end of the line, stretched out at full length on the seat, from which cocsplo noua place he would not budge despite the hauling and mauling he got from the motorman, and thug he went over the line to the TJniontown end, and again put up a scrap for his berth and his nap. Mr. Bussing phoned to police headquarters, and when the car reached on Sixteenth street Chief Gammal was there and made short work of the obterperous and somnolent chap. rousing him thoroughly with a pair of nippers that would pretty nearly awak en the dead if they were rightly ap plied. He finished his nap at the jail "A Quiet Game." Lovers of a quiet game of cards have only to glance at the west window of J. N. Grin's Com-merclAl-itreet book store, to feel that the where-with-all is ampl and of the most alluring sort, in point of style and beauty and finish. There are cards and counters of every kind galore in attrac tive confusion, and all that is needed are players. They will be had ia due course, as toon aa the beautiful window has made its certain impression. , fietnrns Are Iil County School Su perintendent Mis Emma C. Warren an nounces that the returns from Salem on the State papers sent in in behalf of Miss Nellie Anderson, show that she haa passed in' the first grade, and that Mist Beatrice Robinson, of Seaside, has passed for the third grade, and had she taught before, would hare secured her second grade papers. : The success attending Professor Townshend'a efforts, will be of no avail in view of his sudden death at Gray's river yesterday. Fish Falling Off. The Sunday catch was reported as very meagre from all lower river points. Twelve hauls on the Desdemona sands netted scarcely 200 pounds of salmon. Yesterday's work was somewhat better, but not up to the standard of the four preceding days, and signs of improvement were wanting at sundown last night. Morning Astorian, 60 cents per month. Municipal Mail Routes. Postmaster John Halm and his corps of assistants have just completed the laying out of the seven new delivery routes in this city, which will prevail after the first of the coming month. The horse service will prevail after the first of the coming September. The horse service will be cut out entirely, and the foot routes alone used in disposing of local mail here about. The five carriers now doing duty will be augmented on the first by two more, and there is a fine chance for some one to get in on the examinations in this behalf, as there is plenty of work for substitute carriers and will be for some time. It is said that several new letter and package boxes will be erected at different points about the city is a short time, and that a new night collec tion will be instituted, for 9 p. m. in addition to the present service, so that business men who deposit mail matter at or about than hour, may be sure of its catching the early boats out of the city In the morning. In fact there is to be quite an advantageous reorganization of the postal service here, and the In troduction of several new and valuable features, Ujq Store for Woman 4$ to Fi g tu BEEtEiJJirVE Ladies' Outfitters Greatest Bargain Ever Offered to the Astoria Public SEEING IS BELIEVING Here is the sale of Ladies' Suits that half the town has been hungering for The final reductions have been made on all the remaining suits.
