Mr. C. F. Williams, who does garden

The band will give an excursion down

dock at ' 8 :30 the following . three hoars
will be spent on the river, and the beau
tiful moonlight can be enjoyed, as well
as the music by the band. Tickets will
not be sold, but those who participate
will be charged 25 cents as they go on
board.
Old fishermen believe that the saZmon
which ascend the river never go back.
Ae evidences of - their belief they say
PEASE
that none are ever caught in their nets
from the upper side ; and that in clear
streams like the Rogue river, where they
are always seen to be swimming up
stream, never down. That they swim
deep is widened by the fact that they
are sometimes caught on sturgeon hooks,
300 feet beneath the eurface.

A deck band on the Regulator dropped
his watch overboard in about eight feet
of water this morning and was very
much puzzled as to the best way to re
cover it. In his quandary a small boy
said "How inuch'll you gimme to get it
for you, Mister?" He was promised 50
cents, and soon a pair of twinkling heels
was the last seen of that boy for about a
minute. When be came up he triumph
antly held the watch up to gaze, and re
ceiving the reward, he immediately
went up town and the next interview
was probably with the soda water man.
Grasshoppers were as prevalent one
season about twelve years ago as this
year. The next year there were none.
We are informed there is a fly which
makes war on them and kills them off
when they get too numerous. Wascp
county is afflicted with them in spots,
some places being free and others over
run with them. Very rarely a place is
found which is as bad as the following,
which is related by the Fossil Journal :
"Grasshoppers have eaten every vestige
of Willis Meek's crop, on the Chas.
Hall place at the head of West Fork.
They have not left a leaf or grain on the
place." .
Poor Bin of Fisn.
Contrary to expectations, the salmon
catch continues to be very light. The
salmon have been very plentiful just be
low the Cascades, but it seems the rap-
da at that point have stopped their
further ascent of -the river, for while
they are plentiful below they are ecarce
above. Warren's cannery, which is the
principal one below the cascades at the
.cases, and their fullest capacity has been
taxed almost the entire season. Above
the Cascades the catch altogether-that
has been canned does not amount to
over six or seven thousand caees so far,
of which the Seufert Bros. have, caught
the most of any individual fishermen.
The only other cannerymen who have
done well were the Eureka and Cook's
cannery in the Astoria neighborhood,
which were the only ones that ran con
tinuously throughout the fishing season.
The season is now nearly ended, clos
ing the 10th of August, and while there
is time enough to largely retrieve the
poor results obtained, it will take a phe
nomenal and continued run of fisb from
now on to equal the hopes indulged, by
the fishermen of the upper river that
this would be a highly profitable year.-

The Smoky Season.
The smoke which has prevailed for
several days lifted this morning under
the influence of a brisk breeze durin
the night, and the Klickitat hill6 hav.
been plainly discernible all day. T
presence of emoke retakes the air mo
oppressive than it otherwise would b
Abe smoke prevents radiation . and
rapid evaporation ; the result is the op
pressiveness which has prevailed. Only
twice, Bays Observer Pagne, has the
smoky atmosphere-eetin earlier than it
has this year, as is shown-.'by the follow
ing record for 14 years : - '
1882 had little smoke; some prevailed
about August 19 to close of month.
1883 Smoke set in June 30; July was
smoky, August very smoky, and so wa3
September; showers cleared the air
September 30.
1884 had very little smoke; some pre
vailed from August 19 ; September had
some light smoke.
1885 Smoke set in July 25; August
was very smoky, but the smoke cleared
ofF September 10.
1886 Smoke prevailed from July 18
to September 20. August was very
Bmoky.
1887 Smoke prevailed from July 4 to
September 1. August was yery smoky.
1888 Smoke prevailed from August
16 to September 16.
1889 Smoke appeared Jolv 10;
August had occasional smoky days, and
so had September. ' Smoke disappeared
September 26.
. 1890 Smoke prevailed from August
16 to October 1.
1891 Smoke prevailed from August 2;
to September 6.
1892 Practically no smoke; some wj
observed in September.
1893 Smoke prevailed from Augus
to September 3.

1894. very little smoke; recor
show some from August 19 to August 31
1895 The first record of smoke was on
July 10; very little prevailed until
August 4, and then dense smoke pre
vailed until September 1.
1896 Smoke set in July 15.
From the above it is seen that in 1883
and 1887 smoke set in earlier than it did
thiB year, and in 1895 some smoke was
observable on July 10. '
