The following interesting talk has been made up at the metropolis by Samuel Elmore, of this city, and is here quoted in deference to the old adage, "Go away from home to get the news," the Portland Oregonian, of yesterday, deals as follows with the noted Astorian: "'Stop fishing between August 25 and June 1 advise Samuel, Elmore, of Astoria, who, as vice-president and general manager of the Columbia River Packers' Association, puts more Chinooks in tin cans and salt barrels than anybody on the river, who is salmon king of Tillamook, Couille, Alsea, Umpqua and Siletz, who oper ates Tillamook's boat line and who is the newspaper power of Astoria. "'Give us also the closed Sunday, abolishing fishing above the Willam ette river and regulate the size of the meshes, and we'll have all the sal mon we want for gencraltions to come.' . , "In such words did Air. Elmore preach the salvation of the salmon in dustry yesterday. Asked what he would do with the canneries between August 25 and June 1, he replied, 'let 'cm rust, a they are now doing.' Asked what that meant, he said: " 'The salmon pack is between 30 and 40 per cent short' which means that the supply is still going from bad to worse. "Air. Elmore came to Portland to present to Colonel Roessler, United States Engineers, the case of the Mc- Gowans, packers of Chinook, Wash., who by planting their set nets in front of his seining grounds for which he pays the government $6000 , a year rental make the seining grounds worthless and the $6000 so much waste money, Mr. Elmore outbit the AIcGowans for the seining grounds and .thinks that they should retire from the premises and have regard for his tenancy of UncleSam's do main, just as Air. Elmore retired from them three years ago, when outbid by the AIcGowans. But the McGow ans now contend that their seven or eight set nets, being below tide mark, are outside Mr. Elmore's rent al limits. But Mr. Elmore considers them obstructions to navigation, and beyond the power of the AIcGowan's to place in Uncle Sam's water high way. This dispute imposes on Colonel Roessler the duty of inspecting the premises, to determine whether the AIcGowan's are obstructing the highway. "However, Air. Elmore did not care to discuss this matter and he allowed the details to be pressed out of him unwillingly, yet, like a true salmon king, he has opinions about protection of salmon, which many other kings will not accept. That far, he is like King Seufert. King Warren, King Hume, King Talant and King Rosen berg. "But as the biggest of them all King Elmore has opinions which are en titled to respectful consideration. He is willing to shut off April and Alay fishing and to close shop on Sunday. If salmon could "be protected that much, there would undoubtedly be big gains. He would not bother the gill ncttcrs nor the trappers nor the sein ers .except to make their meshes bigger. . " ",. "But as for the wheelmen he would abolish their gear and prohibit all fishing above the Willamette river. Air. Elmore's rivals say that is be cause he catches his fish below Wil lamette river, and this starts again the wrangle of the fish factions, which culminated last election day in enact ment of conflicting laws, each pro posted by a faction hostile to the one at which the law is aimed. "Let that trouble, rest for the pres ent. It will not renew the wrangle to note that Air. Elmore feels the prcss ine necessity of salmon protection, if Lttie fish are. to be saved from extermi nation, and that he urges two ot tne most important remedies closed Sunday and longer closed season."

Pleasant to take T. P. BUSINESS HEN MOST DECIDE THIS AN OPINION FROM PORTLAND ANENT THE RIVER TRAFFIC ROW ENGENEDERED BY THE COMING OF THE SPENCER. The following communication reach ed this office yesterday, and is pub lished, not for its commendatory opinion of the Astorian's ideas of caution given out the other day, but because it is one of many and various notions that are prevalent in regard to the interesting matter at issue; and because it hails from Portland, which is for enough away, perhaps, to make it disinterested: "We note your editorial of June 30th, 'Will it Pay Aatoria.' "This question is worthy of repeti tion by every business man in As toria. Three regular boats on the Portland-Astoria route cannot pay expenses at the present rates. No company or steamboat has any lease on the navigable waters of Uncle Sam, but when a company or steamboat line has put its money into equipment, and has maintained a service for years with but. little profit, and this service is adequate to the demands, and the rate as low as like points on other routes, they are deserving of the consideration of their patrons. The' two regular lines operating on the lower river consider themselves fortunate during the winter months If they make expenses; if then during the summer months, when there is a chance to make a little profit, some outside steamer comes in and cuts rates and thus diverts the business from the regular lines, can you expect more than that they should take steps to preserve their business ? In such a case there are only two things to do: one is to quit, the other is to protect themselves. Let the business men of Astoria ask themselves, 'which will the companies do?' and whether it will pay Astoria to encourage trans bortation that draws oft , when the receipts show a loss? "Yours truly, -. "OBSERVER." From Far Ketchikan The Astorian is just in recept of a copy of the Ketchikan Miner, up. in distant Alaska, the paper that enjojfs the advantage of the skilful service of Wilfred S.

Seaside House Robbed Sheriff Pomeroy went to Seaside yesterday in resopnse to a telegram from J. J. Camp, a resident there. The message stated that Camp's house has been entered and robbed, and the sheriff found upon his arriv al there that a trunk had been open ed and $50 in bills stolen. Camp be lieved that he knew who the thieves were, but the evidence was not such that Sheriff Pomeroy felt he could act upon, and he returned here with out making any arrest. Must Be Civil- j In the records of the county court's proceedings yesterday there appears a note to the following effect: "That if any more complaints are received by the county court of incivility on the part of the bridge. tender of Lewis and Clark bridge No. 2, that he will be subject to dismissal." Several complaints was made of certain in-, civilities that befell travelers at this bridge, and other complaints have also been made of lack of courtesy on j the part of other public officials.
