NDAY Oct. IS
A Fraud.
We n noted the other d;rr from an
article written b3' Mr. 33. 33. Redding,
(secretary of the fish commission),
showing the superior liar or of salmon,
when they first come from salt water,
over those long been in fresh water,
and commending the packers upon
the Columbia river for putting up
their salmon in the proper season;
ceasing as the' do on the 1st of Au
gust; and condemning the practice of
the Sacramento packers for ' 'catching
and canning over-ripe fish after the 1st
of August;" the effect he says is to re
duce the reputation of the Sacramento
salmon to second and third class.
It is a conceded fact, that the Co
lumbia river salmon arc the largest
and finest flavored of any that are
caught. "We have always had, and
still have upon the Columbia honest
and honorable packers. 2 one of them
have ever attempted to palm oft and
put upon the market on inferior arti
cle, and attempt to sell the same with
a fine brand; but like honorable men
have striven to make for their canner
ies a good reputation; and hence it is,
the Columbia river salmon, although
not many years m market, have
gained the reputation of first-class.
A few days ago as we were going up
the river to Portland, our boat landed
at Kalama and there she took
on four hundred barrel of fish,
little inferior salmon, caught in one
of the small rivers emptying in
niret Sound, and all of them marked
J3 " """VJ
in large letters
"Columbia River Sal-
anon." What a shame and disgrace it J
is to the good citizens of Washington
territory, to see those pack:iges leav
ing their midst with that fraud, that lie
branded upon every package. It can
not be but humiliating to the honora-
ble citizens or that territory, tiiat they!
have such dishonorable business men
among them; no, they are not entitled
to the name ot business men, they are ;
a fraud and disgrace to and commu-
nity, and not entitled to any respect j
,,.. , , -i , I

and make the shipments of these j
frauds rnf. t.n innl-ft? Ynn nvn. ftir.rMis !
or uregon ana snouia protect ner e:
t-erpnses, and wlien you lend your
selves and furnish money to carry on
such frauds you will .and ought to be
held as guilty sis the man who put the
brand upon the barrel. Our canner
ies by fair and honest dealing have
gained a good reputation for their sal
mon, and you Mr. Agent will be by
them adjudged as guilty :is the guilti
est. Let those engaged in the salmon
business, (an interest now second only !

shall be stopped, that men engaged in
such disgraceful transactions, where
ever they are may be frowned down
and have none of your support, let
such action by all be characterized as
frauds and be discountenanced. And
if the law is not now sufficient to pun
ish these violators of honesty and
decency, let our legislature see that
proper laws be passed, that the States
interest and the interest of our hon
orable business men engaged in the
salmon trade may be protected.
Encourage Strangers. Just now a I
large number of persons are coming
into the country in search of homes.
As ii rule they are families with
means, but occasionally a poor strag
gler will be found whose means are
exhausted, and who must depend
upon employment for his daily bread.
In all sneh cases our cannervmen and
men of means siiould strain a point
to help the Iieedv imniii'Hiiir. I.r.rV

Northern Pacific It. R. Lands.
The Salem Record endorses the
stand made by The Astoria when it
says: "We look on the Northern
Pacific road as the most useful we can
possibly have, and as this land grant
is necessary for its completion we
would urge its extension for that pur
pose, as has been urged by the state
grange at the two last annual sessions,
with a provisio protecting the interests
of actual settlers, and a farther pro
viso limiting the price at 2 50 per
acre to all actual settlers in the future.
i In short, we urge that speculators shall
not be permitted to absorb and monop
olize the public lands, and the far
better way would be for the govern
ment to retain the lands in its own
possession, selling the odd sections at
the same price as its own lands, and
accounting to the company for the
proceeds. It was a crime against a
just public policy, from the first, that
all railroad land grants were not so
made and guarded that actual settlers
could have lands at not to exceed
2 n0 per acre. Such a course would
have sufficiently benefited the railroads,
and would have been of incalculable
benefit to the people at large. As the
age of land grabbing is past we trust
prudence and common honesty will
direct the course of congress in future.
We desire to see the Northern Pacific
road receive sufficient encouragement
to secure its construction and at the
same time to know that the interests
of the actual scttl er the pioneer who
ventures into the wilderness will not
be forgotten."
From Portland to Lewiston.
A correspondent of the Bee who
lately made the trip to Lewiston from
Portland -writes as follows concerning
the ride from Celile: After remaining
all night at Celilo, we started for Wal
lnla, with about 100 nassengers, were
hound for Walla Walla, and as we had
a crowded time so far, accommodations
i,eing ,eager, it began to be rather
amusing to see, the rush to the table at
meal times. Arrived at Wallula (the
hotel would perhaps accommodate
twenty-five persons in good style), as
we began pouring in the house was
literally lammed, .and the landlord
stood with his eyes wide open and
iooKeu penectiy astonisneu to Know
where all came from. After eating
about all there w;is in the place, we
took the cars for Walla Walla. We
have traveled over a great many rail-
lds lmt thls one beats them all.
vc were nut on the tram, and told to
tuk(J om. choice betweell box cars and
open Hats with no seats, and thirty
niiles to ride on an ordinary railroad,
SUch aS we h;iVU elsewhere, it WOllld
I have been all right; but just think of
I riding at the rate of four miles an hour
in the hot sun for seven hours, it is
enough to disgust any one. Arriving
at Walla Walla on Sunday, we did not
get any time to see the sights, but we
like the valley we passed through.
We took the stage for Lewiston and
arrived at Dayton on Sunday night.
Dayton is a pretty little town ; fine lo
cation in the midst of a fanning coun
try that is one of the best in this
coast. Lewiston has not changed
much; there appears to be more life
here nmv on account of it being the
military depot or supplies.
Report frem: Alaska. The Van
couver Independent says: Chaplain
Collins returned to the Post of Van
couver last week, from a trip to Sitka.
He was absent twenty days; and re
ports a stormy passage. The condition
of affairs in Alaska is deplorable in the
extreme. No law no order no se
curity for person or property. The
miserable creatures who constitute the
chief population about Sitka, are com
mitting wanton depredations upon
public as well as private property,
openly bidding defiance to the author
ity of the United States; and when
Chaplain Collins suggested to some of
these desperadoes that the U. S.
Revenue Cutter might be brought into
requisition to enforce order, they sim
ply laughed at him, saying, "A Cutter!
what could a Cutter do We could
capture it. We would capture the

villians and cut-throats, may be better
imagined than described.
