SUMMERS, UNION, OREGON, -m:ler lv The subject of a Pacific Coa-t lhtil wny line to Alaska i boiti warmly discmsed in San r'rancisco. The scheme originated with Mr. Iltirhert .1. Jones, of Toronto. Mis project is tolmihla railroad from Portland to Alaska. Mr. .lone gives it as his opinion that there will he, little t i til -rnltv in raising the capital stock of .H50,' 1X10,000. Starting from Portland the proposed CoaM road is to rim north to Tacoimi , Scuttle and thence to Vancouver in llrilih Columbia, where the Canadian I'aeiliu Uailroad can be intersected. It will then go north through IJritish territory, stick ing proltv well to the coast, passing between Chileoli Lake and .lervis and Utile Inlets and after crossing the llanialhicoh river reiieh IJeiitinck Arm. From there the route is in a northwest ernly direction to Port Essington and Skccutt village, where the river of the name name is crowed. Continuing in the same direction Fort Wrangel is reached, and then j)evil's Thumb, Mount Window and which, if turned build n powerful navy. 'I ho entire defense of the country would be prac tically useless auaiii'-t an attack of the iron chids of either Rutland or Italy, and should the complications now be in adjusted lead to a war with the former government . there would bo no time to build a navy before they could destroy our lending cities. The mutter bus been allowed to gooo long now. and the piesent Congress would win the confidence of the entire coun try by appropriating a part of the large surplus tuuds in building up the defenses of the country. The Pacific coast is particularly defenseless, and the growing interests and nourishing industries demand a better protection. Any little third class power could send a gunboat and destroy any city on the coast. This state of affairs should not exist so long as millions are being collected initially by a war tariff, if Republicans and protection Democrats will not allow a reduction License head is passed, and at last the i of this war tariff, thev should be cou- ! against us, by attacking one of our I large cities, in two hours time thev; could destroy nronerly enough, t , , , t v 7 tit n -t r n , i . , into easti, would X Uill l V LJMJ 11UU1, eHUtHJUab tlllU IclOJUUllU ULSJ 11I1U UJL xYxUIlILl V UUUuo 111 Lllla UUllllbl .

The letter goes on to say that the opening of Alaska by the United Stale and the northern' part of ltritir.li Columbia by the Dominion of Canada, is of great importance; that, a railroad would successfully build up both regions, and that there was little doubt that both govern ments would encourage the project. In addition his scheme embraces the buying out of the Pacilie Coast. Steam ship Company, so as to operate it in connection with the road, lie thinks tiie undertaking will be a big finan cial success.

Pennover upon the Clackittn'is salmon hiitehe.ry and its location. Upon comparison ol testimony the governor is over whelmed. The judgment of Prof. Livingston Stone, well known as an expert, supported by that of many practical lisherinan , located the hatch ery on the Clackamas river. The weight of evidence is' still in favor of that location. None other has been 1 imposed (hat, according to the best udgiiieuf to be had, is eomparible with it. To defeat the appeal in behalf ol this establishment is to de feat the whole scheme of government aid, and this is the only possible effect of the governor's letter, which to say the least was untimely and iitdiscriu't. Mr. Itariii, llin nutuorolthe letter ji'-inted to-day. is the chairman of the joint committee appointed by the leg islature to investigate the fishery in terests and report with recommenda tions at the next session , one year from now. The letter to Senator Dolph affords in advance some hints as to what the forthcoming report will be. with reference, especially to the methods ot 'Inking salmon. Mr. Marin says; "After a thorough examina tion of the IHiwIiccIs ami traps hist .Inly by the committee, and the state llfth commission, nlo Maj. .loues, U. S. engineer, who was also along by invitation . it was the opinion of the entire partv that with proper restrict ions and regulations trap and wheel tlsiing could be made even less hurt ful to the salmon interests of the .stale than the gill-net llshiug, which covers the Columbia from Astoria to the ocean with a net-work that makes it almost a mil acle for a salmon lit for propagating purposes to escape." This is quite sttllicieut to indicate that fho committee will not uge a law to prohibit llshing by means of wheel and Laps. Oiwioninn .s. merely hy written list posted in some public place.'

A R U'eal Admiral Amnieti Iuh proposed to the secretarv of the navy a plan for the rcM'iio of oiiipwrecked passengers. It consists of the construction of what i called a bala, or a lloal. The rear xdniiral proioes that in the event ol the abandonment of a vessel at sea the balsas could boused in a sea so roiifdi that ordinary boats could not bo 'utilized, and he suggests I lit following mode of launching: "The head sail should be hoisted so as to bring the wind quarterly; oil bags would be thrown over trom each quarter. The railing at the stern, titled for unshipping, would he let down and the launching skid- put in place, and a lutba carried aft by eight men ami lowered Then ti ronjih car to I i t . i .1 t i.i won til tie loaticu wiiu me uei uoss person and lowered to tlu baba, be received ami placed and the operation continued until the boat had her load, then i-he would be cast adrift, make a drag ot her mast and sail, throw overboard her oil bag. and the same operation would be repealed until every one was embarked. Then they should fasten lo each other in sections of lives." Tne admiral in a letter to Secretary Whitney, asks that the de partment construct a buba and subject it to practical tests in all kind or weather-. The balsa consists ot two rusks, upon which a platform is laid. Jn the casks are cnttles tor stowing provisions. A Miflleicut number of them to carry 1 ,tMMj people could, in the opinion of the rear admiral, he cirricd on a large oteamer without inconvenience, NliRWiQ o p i 1 1 Tiaiiis i.
