C) j&e D&il Qstoxtom ASTORIA. OREGON: D. C. IREIiAXI ...Editor. SATUEDAY Oct. 6, 1S77 NOTES ANE COMMENTS. It having been stated that Sacra mento river salmon caught out of sea son, unlike Columbia river salmon, was a merchantable article, the News edi tor addressed Mr. B. B. Redding, secretary of the fish commission, on the subject, from whom he received a reply from which we quote as follews: "When the fish first come in from the ocean they are of superior flavor quite fat, and showing a layer of white curd between each layer of iiesh. As the salmon does not eat in fresh water after it comes in from the ocean, the eggs and milt are matured at the ex pense of the fat and muscular vitality of the fish. Soon after the first of Au gust the eggs and milt mature, the white curd and fat disappear, the sil very scales are absorbed, and the skin turns black. It is then as unfit for human food, and as feverish as a hen would be taken from her nest. The canneries of the Columbia river cease work on the first of August, as it has been found that salmon canned after that date have so deteriorated as to injure the reputation of the whole sea son's catch in foreign markets. It is reported that canneries on the Sacra mento have been at work catching and canning over-ripe fish since the first of August. The effect will be to reduce the reputation of the Sacramento sal mon to second and third class. K is to be hoped that next season the can neries will repair their error, by catch ing and canning only during the sea son, when the fish are in perfect con dition, and during the time when proper and wholesome laws provide they may be caudit." General Crook narrowly escaped assassination at the hands of Crazy Horse on the occasion of the recent disturbance at lied Cloud Agency. Crazy Horse had been working to breed discontent among the Indians, urging them to go on the war path, but could not succeed. Among the northern Indians he had been pretty powerful, but when he came to the re servation he found so many chiefs who were regarded his superiors that he lost all his influence and became angry and ill-natured. General Crook sent word that he wished to talk with him, and started out with Mr. Clark, an Indian agent and interpreter, to see Iiim. On the way down to the Indian camp General Crook was overtaken by a carrier, who said that Crazy Horse, in conversation with his men, had said that he intended to talk pretty saucy to General Crook, and in case the General should object he would kill him. General Crook and his com panion, who were unarmed, abandon ed the idea of having a talk with Crazy Horse, and the plotter's arrest and death followed. The Commercial News, referring to freights and charters, says the mar ket is, and has been during the past week in a peculiar position. Wheat freights have reached a point much lower than ever before known, but owners and shipmasters have shown a disposition to accept current rates. "This, in connection with the fact of short sales in the English market, has resulted in several engagements, both for loading here and in Oregon. Wheat has absorbed all the advance in the English market, but fanners con tinue reluctant sellers, and the grain now going aboard ship is partly Oregon wheat and partly purchases made some time since, both here and in the interior. It is impossible to quote freight rates with any accuracy. A large -wooden ship has accepted 1 lGs to Liverpool, and a medium-sized iron ship has obtained 2 2s Cd for the same port. These rates, together -with those published below, will show the r.mge of the market, but itjseems at present as if the rate ships obtain de- pends largely on the acuteness of the broker and the anxiety of the charter ers, to obtain a vessel. Outside busi ness has been more active and some little business is doing in lumber char ters at low rates for China and the West Coast. The disengaged tonnage in port now foots up 59,589 tons, a small falling off from last week. We have 12,154 tons miscellaneous in port, 2G,467 tons engaged for wheat from here, and 6,220 from the Colum bia river. " The Era of Good Fcelini In one of Horace Greeley's last let ters, (Nov. 8, 1872), just published for the first time, he says: "Well, I am used up. I cannot see before me. I have slept little for weeks, and my eyas are still hard to close, while they still open again. But no more of this. You, my friend, went into this contest for me. You knew as I did that wc must stop fighting the rebels some time. But it is now settled that we never shall." If the good old man was alive now he might say different. It is evident that the numerous invi tations to President Hayes by the southern people to pay them a visit were sincere. Wherever he goes he receives an ovation, and regrets are expressed at his inability to extend his journey further into the land than has been marked out as its limit. 2sone have greeted him more cordially than Governor Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, who attached himself to the President as one of his escort, and made stirring speeches, full of recon ciliation and patriotism, wherever he went. This voluntary exhibition of southern hospitality is strongly in proof of returning national brotherhood and fraternity 2STEW ADVERTISEMENTS. rnow OM IT MAY CONCERN. ice is hereby uivei that all persons , or m any my port ii?ajLii roiNT. or im heulemry Jtarlin laid cUumfi: ivi Mate i vrcxoniYnwioui i uia uiriersiiniedv aid al flreMiuonlai chSn Mvhei tandmg timber iray'iii an vvttv be injured.
