GREATEST RUN
SALMON SHOWN
:Two Years' Record
' Broken in Columbia at
This Time.
Being:
The run and pack of salmon along
,, the- Columbia river is now the greatest
, In two years. Latent mail advices from
'the lower river slate that the run Is
. r ' tTreaMns; everv (lav, until at this time
the volume of 'arrivals at the various
" feunriea and coid storage plants Is
keeping all Institutions busy.
Especially increased has been the run
of ehlnookg during the past few days.
. tor awhile it was feared tfipt this famous
. fish would not put-in an appearance i
In any great numbers this senon but
this proved mistaken thought. The fact
that the run of bluebacks is the great
est In four yeara had added to the suc
cess of the chlnnok run, for it ia a cer
tainty that whenever the river has
large supplies of blueback salmon there
will about the same time be quite a
heavy run 01 chlnooks.
' The pack of, bluebacks to date Is the
heaviest In many seasons and from
present appearance more records In this
respect "will be broken before the pres
ent season comes to an end. With the
.er nrniinina quite rapidly the run
'of chlnooks will likewise increase and
Bono packers are tow of the opinion
that instead of showing a serious de
crease In the pack aa compared with
previous years, the chinook output will
show an actual increase.
' All (tears Catching- Salmon.
The reports from both the upper and
lower Columbia say that all sorts of
gears are catching heavy supplies.
While the gilnets are securing much
the larger supply or tne nsn, as is us
' "ual. the seines and traps are doing well
Krom the upper river the report comes
that the .wheels are grinding out more
fish than had been expected.
One of the special features of this
year's salmon operations is the greater
pack than usual of ateelheads. While
the steelhead salmon 18 not so well
known among the canned salmon trade
as the chlnooks and other varieties, it
Is stated to be fully as good as the
best.-, The reason for the larger pack
than usual of steelhead salmon was the
reat scarcity of other varieties earlier
In the season. Just now the cold stor
ae operators are inking most of the
, steelheads and the only catiners who
'are still packing them In tins are those
. who do not operate freezers of their
own. In a freezing way the merits .of
the steelhead are too well known to
ineed comment . .
Crab Season Comes to An End.
. In the state of Washington the crab
...season has come to an, end, July 1 start
Ing the closed period. As most of the :
crabs used In this market and in Call-1
foruia come from Washington streams
. ' there is now a shortage in local bud-
?lies( and prices, while no higher, are
irmer. One or two dealers who had
such large supplies a few weeks ago
that they scarcely knew what to do
with them, put them into storage and
the- result Is they now have stocks for
sale while the general trade is without
them. Fine quality, too.
Cattle Shortage
Affects Hides
There Is much Interest here mnniitf
the hide trade regarding the Incre.i.se
In activity In the eastern market. The
enst Is In the market for more liberal
supplies and is offering an advano of
about '-jc per pound over former quota
tions. This advniu'" Is now being
uuoted bv the local trade. The scarcity
of cattle one of the causes for tho
return of activity In hide prices.

Chicago, July 8. A loss of 8.4 per
cent in the condition of winter wheat
and 6.6 per cent in spring sowing as
snown oy jne government reporx today,
caused a -fresh avalanche of buying.
Wheat opened unsteady because of
tne rusn to iiquioate, juiy starling at
86 Ho. September 87 He, December 89Hc
and May 93c. This was the low mark
for all options.
Shortly after the opening tha trade
had It figured out that the government
report on winter wneat wouici range De
tween 80 and 81 per cent and It waa ac
tually shown almost midway between
thesa figures.
Foreign markets were mlxedi Liver
pool arjd Paris showing a loss, while
jtserun ana Antwerp were sngnuy nign
er at tbe close.
The Inter-Ocean says: "It Is claimed
by wheat bears that 1,600,000 bushels
has been sold as hedged in the pit in
the last three weeks, where there Was
practically none a month ago. Every

CANNOT COLLECT
FOE MATERIAL USED
narret J. Eaton's effort to collect on
it fist worth of material used in the
construction of the Chamber of Com
meroe building; were again frustrated In
th circuit court this morning, when
Judge Cleland dismissed both complaint
and cross-complaint In the suit brought
by F.aton against the Northwestern De
velopment company and others, includ- A.
Ing W. D. Hoflus, owner of the building.
Tho contract for the building was let
by Hoflus to the development company,
which ia now defunct A Eaton oould
not collect from the development oom
pany, he sought to , reach Hoflus
through a mechanic's lien. The test!
mony showed that Hoflus posted, notices t
through the building warning all who
furnished material that he would not
be responsible. Judge Cleland decided
that this action, under the Oregon stat
ute, protects Hoflas against Eaton' 0
claim.

seven-year-old girl, Mrs. Annie Foster
of Clackamas county Is trying by the
habeas corpus route to compel Mrs.
Hattle Myers to surrender the little
ona She asserts that she gave the
child Into the care of Mrs. Myers In
January, 1906, while ahe was 111, but
had no Intention of abandoning' her
rlarhts as a mother. Mrs. Myers de
clare that the child Is better cared
for than she would be if the mother
took her, and refuses to allow the child
to leave. The name of the Child is
Leota Hoag.
The matter was brought before Pre
tdinar Judee O'Dav in the circuit court
this morning. An attorney from Ore
gon City was present in behalf of Mrs.
Myers and moved to quash the writ
on the eround that the court has r,o
jurisdiction. Judge O'Day said he was
certain that W Multnomah courts can
do nothing in the matter, as a petition
for writ of habeas corpus must be filed
strained.
It appears that the county court of
Clackamas passed on the Question about
a year ago, refusing to turn the child
over to the mother. Mrs. Foster as
serts that she Is now better prepared
to care for the little ona The matter
was continued for further argument.
