Mb. Dell's sketch of Clatsop
county shows many great facts as
to its wealth and resources that
are not commonly known. The
annual catch of raw salmon in the
bays of which Astoria is the cen
ter exceed $2,000,000. This equals
interest at 6 per cent on a princi
pal earn of nearly $40,000,000; and
this great wealth exists in the
salmon industry aloDe. There is
also vast unestimated wealth in
other food fishes of Clatsop's
waters and in the waters of which
Astoria is the headquarters. The
razor clam raw catch of Clatsop
beach yields some $25,000 annual
ly, or interest on $4,000,000 at 6
per cent. The aggretate value of
Clatsop timber is something enor
mous. The dairy product is also
immense and constantly growing.
The fruit industry is assuming
large and good revenue producing
proportions. The Clatsop beach
seaside resorts add greatly to the
country's values. The extent of
richest agricultural lands covered
by the greatest of forests in the
country is a matter of surprise.
All these and othe values of this
county grouped in a striking
manner make this "book of Clat
sop county" one of the best possi
ble forms of advertising literature
that could be plaoed in the hands
of the coming editor-visitors.
Astorian.
Representatives of Aguinaldo
have had another conference with
the American Philipinoine Com
missioners and have been again
told that the only way for the Fili
pinos to get a cessation of hostili
ties is to accept the unconditional
surrender terms of Gen. Otis.
The feeling is general in official
circles that the Cuban army has
been allowed rope enough and
that they must either surrender
their arms or refuse to surrender
them nt ouce. If they refuse, the
chances are they will be made to
do so. Presideut McKinley and
his advisers have been disposed to
treat these men very leninently
and to humor their whims to as
great an extent as possibe, without
giving them the idea that they
were able to dictate to us, but
there is a limit to patience, and by
their backing and tilling and bick
ering among themselves, the
Cubans have very near reached
that of the administration. It is
the under standing now that disar
mament is to begin the latter part of
this week, but there have been other
similar agreements that were not
carried out.
Fiiebident McKinley is aguiu
ou duty at the White House. His
two weeks, rest at the hot springs
appear to have done him lots of
goo 1, ami he says his rheumatio
pains have entirely disappeared.
Ilia return and the Peaoe Jubilue,
which is to be held this week,
have attracted a number of promi
nent men to Washington, for the
purposo of combining busiuese
and pleasure. Among them are
friends of several of the candi
dates for Speaker of the House.
The most interesting news of
the Speakership contest is the
statemont, apparently well found
oil, that friends of Kepresantative
Sherman and Henderson have
made an agreement whereby each
is mads the second choice of the
other, the idea being to insure that
olo or the other of them gets
elected. But Representative
I iiyne, who is himself in Wash
ington, aud the friends of Repre
seutative Hopkins, who are quite
numerous, say they take no stock
in any such agreement
BmoADiER General Gueely
chief siunal ollioer. believes in
keeping bis branch of tho army,
which has been so highly coiupli
intuited for its work in Cuba, Porto
lirx), and the Philippines, right
up to date in everything. He has
just asked for proposals for three
electiio horseless carriages, for
the purpose of experimenting with
them to ascertain what uses that
thi-y can be put to by the signal
corns, (leneral Greely believes
a
the hurried errection of field lines,
of telegraph, and bis first experi
ments will be in that direction.
The signal corps has already
demonstrated, by actual exoeri
ments, that the much talked about
t ystem of wireless telegraphy has
not been sufficiently perfected to
make it safe to depend upon it for
the transmission of important
messages, although General Greoly
expresses confidence that it can be
made useful in many directions,
even as it ia now, sod that it will

Washington, May 29 Tbe president's
civil servioe order will undoubtedly
secure appointments for a number of
Oregon people who would otherwise not
reoeive recognition. Out of polioy, Ore
gon men will be given tbe positions in
the custom and land offices of tbe state,
and Commissioner Hermann will un
doubtedly name an Oregon man aa his
private seoretary. Beoause ot bis posi
tion, the commissioner will be able to
secure appointments for Oregon in the
land servioe outside ot tbe state also,
notably in Alaska, Oregon and Wash
ington will oome in for a share of the
positions in tbe AlaBka customs, revenue
