Tlie Propagation of Salmon.
A petition is buing circulated
and generally signed in Astoria,
that the United States government
be authorized by Congress to talce
the-tnattor-of salmon .propagation i
under national supervision. We
are authentically informed' also,
that the owners-"of the salmon
hatchery on the Clackamas intend
to, keep up the fish supply of the
Col'cnribiaJ?he advisability of turn
ing the matter over to the National
government, will not be at present,
discussed. We simply speak in
this article of the matter in a gen
eral way.
All the old fished streams in the
world have becomo nearly depop
ulated of fish, "and it cannot bo
rationally supposed .that a differ
ent result could attend the catch
of one and one-half miilions of
salmon .yearly in the Columbia,
unless thore is something done to
protect the fish. 'Not only is this
vast amount taken from the river,
but those not caught are frighten
ed and'scattercd so that their pow
ers are, doubtless, greatly impaired.
If the general government will
stock Gshless streams why not pre
vent. -other streams from losing
their fish?
If the Columbia river fisheries
were all in one State or Territory
it might witjj more propriety be
urged that the State should bear
the burden, but they are not. They
are in two different jurisdictions,
each governed by laws enacted at
different times in different years.
One is powerless unless the other
. acts similarly, and the difficulties
for prompt and harmonious action
aro great. The great catch of
salmon last-yeaHn both the Sac
ramento ancUthe Columbia is at
tributed artificial propagation.
Nat five per cent", probably, "of the
spawn jnatures in the natural way,
while artificially, ninety per cent
is said to-be hatched. It has been
remarked that the Sacramento
could bo so filled, with salmon as
:to; obstruct navigation. If so, why
nottfie Columbia? The feeding
grounds and growing places are
in the broad ocean; why then,
could there not bo s-cnt into
thex ocean such mvnads of
young fish that when the' should
return in three to five years to the
streams of their birth ihsy would
literally fill the waters?
In early times when the fish
were only taken in the rude man
ner of the Indians, the salmon did
fill the streams nnd crowd rrnny
upon the banks, where they lay
till theshorcs were lined with them.
About Milwaukee, where now
there is probabably not a salmon
to bo found, they were yearsao
inMhe fields, in the fences when
ever a freshet caused an overflow.
About' Oregon City and the Clack
amas rapids fish" went to waste to
the disgust of the neighborhood.
It i9 not so now.
. As the seven years from 1873
to 1881, were, prolific of centen
nials, those hundredth anniversa
ries are out of fashion. The latest
thing is bi-centennials. Philadel
phia is going to have a grand one
next summer, and New Orleans
announces that on the Oth of next
April the Crescent city folks will
celebrate the two hundredth anni
versary of the discovery of the
mouth of the Mississippi "river.
And still from every side come
notes of preparation for the com
ing, political fight in this state.
"We will -grow confidential, and
tell our readers something they
already know, viz: an office is a
good deal bigger thing in the eyes
ofti' professional politician than it
is in the eyes'of the people who
do the voting. Don't let this
.elude your memory.

Astoria land Grant.
Editor AstontAjf :
The dispatches' would have it
that Representative Page had in
troduced a memorial from the As
toria Chamber of Commerce ask
ing that the Astoria laud jjrant be
declared forfeited uilcs3 the road
is built, in two years.
There was no such memorial
sent from here. We asked that
the grant be deelared'forfeited im
mediately -unless the- company
would bind themselves to build
within two years. "We have no
idea of extending the time to a
company that has not the least
disposition to build the road. Our
memorial puts it clear enough to
anyone but a Washington City
correspondent of the Associated
Press. - Cumtux.
Some enterprising hotel keeper
in the Italian Alps, Finding busi
ness rather dull last summer, de
clared that he saw tears streaming
down t lie cheeks of a holy stattio
near by. Every one employed in
the house saw them too, the won
drous miracle was told abroad, and
pilgrims flocked from firand away.
The e. h. k. has cleared a hand
some fortune, and gave the whole
business away in a New Year's
fit of repentance.
Otrn friends in Oregon who sin
fond of protection and havt- a
loving regard for Eastern capital
ists, can find comfort in the knowl
edge that during the past three
months the profits of a protected
manufacturer in Meriden, Connec
ticut,have been 1,200 per work
ing hour. The women he 1m
working for him are protected by
wages of three dollars per week.
Tnu.editor of the Walla Walla
Statesman graciously informs an
awaitinjj world that he lias "no
dislike to the Columbia river bar,
in particular."' This is reassuring.
We expect to hear of no more
rough weather off Fort Stevens
for several days at least.
Tug fact that an English pris
oner while' under the-influence of
ether, told of several criminal
transactions in which he had been
engaged, suggests to the scientists
its enlistment as a detective ad
junct." " In 18S1 there were 73,000,000
bushels of wheat shipped from the
port of New Yerk: of that vast
amount not a single bushel went
in an American ship. This otssht
to make protectionists happy.
Several of our exchanges have
items regarding the robust health
and soundness of frame of Samuel
J. Tiiden, of New York.
