A Wrk f Art. Chemcketa, in a letter to the Standard from Salem, says: Clyde Cooke has placed another Mount Hood exhihi tion in Mr. W. W. Martin's window, which is one of his hestetrorts, and quite larue. It is taken from the head of the Dal Is, the lare moss-covered boulders, swift water and rather dim peak, beiuj; very well executed indeed, showing much painstaking as to detail, but the sky is open to criticism as a departure from ordinary tints, but which may be true to nature sometimes, but certainly not ahvaj.s. It is of pale green hue like foliage viewed through a window curtained with gauze or covered with steam. Mr. Cooke has a soul for true :irf. however, and his executions, with 01 1 assistance from a teacher, are sim ply wonderful."'

She went on drawing j ev 'nteen feet of waer. and can be apjm a-hed by" the tugs at low water near enough to gei out 'aline.

Propagation. Portland Daily Standard April 18th. At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Oregon and Washington Fish Propag; ti m company, held in this city lahtTue d ty evening, the directors submitted the following annual report We, vour directors beg leave to submit the following report of our work for the past vear. eliding this day: Referring to our last annual report it will be seen that on the 2d of April, 1878. our company wasS4,333 87 in debt; there being at the same date due the company on account of unpaid assessments So, 0;J2 rrf). We have endeavord to collect the de linquent assessments, but regret to sav that until present time have only suc ceeded in obtaining So75 11 leaving still a balance of $4.(S7 ZQ unpaid. The expenses of carrying on our oper ations the past year have therefore been paid from funds realized from parties avIio have taken additional stock withiu the past year We refer you to the secretary's report herewith for details of moneys received and paid out since last annual meeting. Our largest item of expense was for tin construction of a dam upon Clear creek, and Hume to convey water from ssiid dam into hatching house. We ob iained bids for this work, and, after due consideration, awarded the contract for b lilding dam and flume to Mr. Calbath, who perfinned the work under the .sunci Nion of Capt. Harlow, for whose .-kill siiul energy in forwarding the works ot the c Miipany we feel obliged. The d Mil and flume were completed in Julv, an I rema ned in good working o dcr until the following -November. U e had also to build a rack across the Clackamas river, which, owing to scarci ty of funds, was not constructed as .strongly as our after experience of freshets upon that river indicated neces sary. We began taking salmon spawning September Jlth, and by the 22d of the same month as many fish were obtained daily as could be conveniently handled. The work of stripping fish was carried on daily from the Silh until the. 2J)th of September, during which two million and eighty-one thousand (2,081,C0) eggs were obtained,four hundred and seventy eight female and about double that number or nine hundred and fifty-six male salmon having been spawned. On the 2i)th, of September the Clakamas river rose very rapidly, swept away the salmon rack, permitting all fish yet un shipped to pass up the. river. Before this rise of the river a large number of salmon were seen below ihe rack, but after three days of high water none were to be found, and therefore the operations of spawning cesiscd for the year on Sep tember 20th. The eggs obtained were properly cared for and very few losses occurred until November 7th, when the water supply to the hatching house failed, making it necessary to leniove the voting fish to a tank constructed in Clackamas river; in this operation some were lost. Novem ber 17th was turned into the river 300,000 oung fish, and on the 2tith of Deeembir GOO.000 more were placed in Clackamas ntifl fMnovnrnnlr f lio fullniviiirr Imrl'JI- OOO iinil nn Jmiiinrv OA tha f?icf. Inf. of about 250,000 were "turned into thel river. t j During tlie Year we have had frrejit dilliciiltyin collecting sufficient funds to carry on our work at hatching in an eco nomical way; in fsict, your directors, in addition to paying their assessments, have been compelled to make personal advances to the company to prevent the work being stopped. Hereafter we hop 2 that sufficient funds, from the fish com missioners of Oregon and Washington territory, may be relied upon to defray the expenses of one or even two such establishments as we now have. We would suggest that the operations of the company be continued this season attlie new the desira- another location operations may be car- a iresuec, during as unfortunately amas. correspondence and Mr. Living stone Stone m regard to an approprist tion from tlie general government in aid of our hatchery, without as yet obtain ing any money, but eventually expect funds from this source.

In wintry dajs, when weary earth Lies cold in pulseless sleep, With not a blossom on her shroud, His too late to reap. Too late! too late! It is too late to reap. When blue-eyed violets are astir.
