MRS. J. C. SUMMERS, UNION, OREGON,

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;

Juneau. 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. Mut ti e steamship olli

we print to-day, State Sunnier Rarin
answers eoinjdclcly the criticinis
made recently hv (JoV. 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.

public place.' '
A Canadian paper has been canvass
ing for an expression of annexation to

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

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,
