It will be remem bered that In February her . husband died at Phoenix, Arts., leaving; a very singu lar will. He was possessed of consid erable wealth, which he "had accumu lated In Portland while In, th wood busi ness. His will made ample provision 'or his children, but one clause read as fol lows: "if anyone should appear and claim to be my lawful wife I will leave for her the sum of 15. Upon his death Mrs. Nlcura made a trip to Arizona and was greatly disap pointed when she ascertained that her husband had willed the property away to others. She returnel and prepared to Institute legal proceedings to recover what she deemed her Just share of the property.

' While at dinner with a party of friends at Kruses' Orill Room, he perpretrated the following for the gospel truth, and some of his associates have not yet wholly recovered from their temporary paralysis. Mr. Hobkirk said: "Last week- while In Spokane, I took a walk to the river to view- the falls. While standing on the bank of the' stretfrrt; I noticed a great commotlpn under the water and a mo menf later a lftrtDlaek liog-appeared on the surface With a' big' crawfish be tween his jaws. The crawflsher Went ashore, and arter eating the red bug, with great relish, wandered back, up the stream for a short distance and mado another dive Into the river. The water being clear and the hog of a dark color, I could watch his movements plainly. Mr. Porker, wandered about on the bot tom of the river, rooting up stones- with his snout and capturing the crawfish.'. Some of the friends are skeptical as to the veracity of the story in view of the fact that some "knocker" has cir culated a report that there are no craw fish In Spokane. Another "Buttlnsky" glvos his opinion that a lorn? session at the Quelle Is sometin?ea responsible for dreams of this character. A Smart Retort. The other day a Portland woman took down the receiver of her telephone Just in time to hear a rich baritone 'some where on the line sweetly say, "Hello, central, give me Heaven."

It Is because the fish when at the mouth of the river ace nearly all caught and cannot reach the -upper river. There are so. many 'nets near the bar that a fish has to he more successful than Tracy' to get by them.

Should the state use the licensee paid in by the fishermen In establishing hatcheries,,, we could add about '550,000,000 fish" each year which would, in a few years, Increase the out put of our canneries more than double. I would suggest that a suitable fish channel be placed at Oregon City so th salmon can go Into the upper Willam ette and above all else the industry must be severed from politics."

"This has been a phenomenal year in the fisheries at Astoria," said H. B. Par ker, who is at the Perkins today, "there have been some record-breaking catches made-and some that will not be beaten for a long while. The biggest one-man catch is recorded by one of the cannery's men, who pulled In over 3000 pounds in ono night. There was also a catch of over 4000 in 20 minutes by a crew, which is the biggest yet. ! - "Prices, too, on fish have been record- breakers. Eight cents was paid at one time, which was the highest price for years, and .the season closes with two cents a pound, which is the lowest price ever paid. Astoria fishermen made good profits during the first part of the season and almost flooded ' the canneries with stock.
