According to advices received bv The Journal from Columbia river points the run of salmon la not nearly bo good as during the firat days of the season The decrease la especially noticeable In . the lower river and the catch there has dwindled down to about half of what It was at the start. On the Upper Colum bia the catch, while so heavily decreased from former days, is considerably lighter than It was. For this reason very little fresh salmon Is coming forward to the local fresh fish market at mis lime In consequence prices are being held very mm at uncnangea vwum. Potato Market Tery Firm. -' a firmer tone Is again noted In the local potato situation following a sharp advance In the price of both old and new stock In California.

Frost Advices Are Hot Confirmed. ; While it is stated on what ia usually considered good authority that soma .damage to the early potatoes In Oregon lvias caused by the recent heavy frosts. The Journal Is yet unable to confirm the rumors. It Is stated, however, that . .. the season la fully six weeks backward at this time and every advice seems to "put the new crop -season stttJr further . away, ' .- : That potatoes are very scarce everyi where along the. Pacific eoaat Is" shown by the way the new crop is- advancing In the south. t, Ug-gs a Trifle Weaker.

That all wool sates dates In Oregon may be declared off due to the great activity In the contracting or wool aurins: tne nasi rew aays. is tne opinion of Dan P. Smythe, secretary of tne state wool urowers association. Besides his official position among the organised wool growers of the state, the opinion expressed is given mora weight from the fact that Mr. Bmythe is one of the largest sheep owners in thla sec tion of the state. Regardless of the fact that such a large per cent of tha wool has been contracted in advance of the official aalea dates set. it la possible that one of the sales dates may be oDservea in rtaaitioa, aeppner ana enaniKO. Secretary Smyth expresses tha opin ion that Shanlko will be tha laat place to entirely give tip the aalea day Idea since the sellers at that point hay been carefully keeping the day in tha past despite the fact that the buyers have tried very hard to get some choice con tracts in advance. According to the secretary, however, there is no assur ance that other aectiona will make any J eriort to Keep tneir smes aays, ana 01 course win nave no need or them if the present advance sales continue. It la reported that thousands ' of pounds of wool are being contracted for dally through tha wool belt of eastern Oregon. Tha ruling price locally is re ported to be 20 cents and above. Sev eral sales have been known to reach the 21 cent mark during the past two days, and it is said the local wool men will pay no attention to any offer of less than 20 cents for the average and better grades. These- high prices of fered have been so tempting that there is a likelihood that there will be little of the staple left when tha ftrat sales day arrives in Pendleton on May 24. . Earlier In the season the buy era were disposed to bold off until the regular sales davs, and tha selling fever did not hit the Pendleton and Pilot Rock sheep men until during the past few days. Among those who are known to have sold their clips up to the present are Rugg Brothers, Charles Matthewtr. C. A. Johnson, L. I Mann and Herbert Boy Ion. The Pedro and Uust Brothers are also reported to have sold their clips, the government reservation and south A lew or the large clips or the county of Fifth street will be closed aftar to- An enthtfslastle bridge meeting wag held laat night by the North East Side Improvement- club. Discussion, -in 'which many of the members of tha elub took part and in which most optimistic views of -the probability of the people passing tha proposed bond issue for the new Broadway bridge were expressed, filled the evening. - The bond issue Is to be put up to the people at the June election and the club has every hope that it will pass. 1 Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, Judge M. Q. Munlv. Counellmen Menefee and Bpi- nett, George 8. Shepherd, John Plttinger and many other members of the club, talked on the bridge question. Dr. Weth erbee told -of the great sles to which he was sure tne city was coming and told the members of the club that another prtdge was very much needed. Judge Muniy reviewed tha work of the club Tn tha Interest of the new bridge, telling of the three stages of the work aa he saw them. ' 1 Investigation, agitation and legislation were the stages ef the work as lie saw them. Investigation . was the work of selecting the site, Engineer Modjeskl s report; agitation was the -matter of get ting the subject ;beforevthe people, while' legislation is the. stage as It Is now waiting for the people to pass the bond issue. He entertained every hope of success. " LAST DAY FOR THE , DISORDERLY HOUSES Vancouver, Wash., May 8.

As near as can be learned the clos ln order will be obeyed following the publicity that lias been given. Captain J. J. Bradley of Vancouver barracks has expressed himself well pleased with the mayor's decision to close the houses. About two years ago Captain Bradley made a request that the district be cleared out, the fact being published by Tha 'Journal.
