We are- informed, i'imt the run of salmon in the Colw.mbin river &o far, says tho Willamette Farmer, has been extremely light. If this be true, may there not be reason to apprehend a gradual extinction of this lordly fish in our waters: The canneries have multiplied durinjr the past few years' "In earlier times there has been wanton waste " so mauy fish were caught that the supply glutted tho market. To-day a decent kit of salmon is hard to find in the city of Port land. We have tried all the first class grocery stores in vain, for "fresh salmon bellies" such as we used to geta few years ago. The whole of the fish is now made use of; jaws are put up in kits, labeled "tips" and .are exceedingly nice. Tho heads and loins arfe "pressed for oil which finds a ready market. When tfio' canning business was new, thousands and thousands of pounds were thrown away in the cans, and at least one ship load of canned salmon was emptied into the Thames, condemned at that foreign port as "swell heads;" not having been put up properly, the can's head bulged, to proving wbrtbless.Thus a great waste was made till experience taught that .salmon canning was a science of its own, and that expert canner of other meats could not preserve salmon. "' California wakened early to the necessity of guarding the fishing interests, while we Oregonians havo not only been wantonly de--stru'etive of the salmon, but heed lessly forgeting to provide an arti ficial supply. Seth Green has taught the world that itsh may be bred like any other animal food. Fish commissioners .in Californu have conducted their operations in a sensible w.iy byjireeding and by protective laws, -so that nip to this time there has been uo perceptible decrease in the supply, but rather otherwise, for there have been more successful runs during tho past two year. There are some liberal, far-seeing men in tho fishing interest, who havo tried to foster this industry here in Oregon, and havo been willing to put money into it, but others, too short-sighted and gree dy, Tiave been indifferent to the fu ture, and have succeeded in de stroying whatever " interest had arisen.- The hatching experiment in the Clackamas river, near Or ., . egon Citv, demonstrated that fish could bo propagated in our small er streams and so supply tho Co lumbia, mid that too at a nominal - expense. The business would havo to be taken in hand by the state, foril would he difficult to come to an equitable- adjustment of expenditures where the benefits would ,be bo widely diffused. It would b difficult to get concert of action -among the owners of canneries in consequence of di version of'intercsts. It has been said that the Clackamas hatchery was a failure but it is not se: it most clearly demonstrated that with a little more experience a few " years' time would find the Co lumbiagood fishing grounds again, It can scarcely be possible but that this constant drain upon tho salmon will tell in mournful num bers of the loss to Oregon of one of her greatest exports. "Let there be early brought before tho Leg islature questions bearing on the fishing interests, for better protec tion of the fish at certain seasons, '"' 'Slid for providing hatcheries on the various streams and there cannot be too many of them either. If this is not done soon, tho Columbia will show many empty canneries, with their useless nets swinging from the" rotting piles." We are not disposed to take such a pessimistic view of the case as our contemporary, but it is evident that something should bo doneto insure a steady supply, and aid nature in propagating the fish that form such an important factor in our state wealth. From '''hat we can learn it seems that unanimity of purpose is the. most required. In a general way all are favorably disposed, but "what is everybody's business is nobodv-s business," and the matter hangs J fire in want of some one to take the lead and start it going. Feoh present appearances the surplus revenue for the fiscal year wn I 1 mmf Afr 4 L. a a n m a- - m A : ttui icuiu i nc t'liujiiiuilb sum Ol one hundred and fifty millions of dollars! Where is the authority to impose such a burden of taxa tion on the people? What consti tutional provision exists allowing the collection of so much more money than is necessary to pay tho expenses of our expensive government? Two years ago there was left the sum of SG5.000 000; one year ago there was left $100,000,000; this year, $150,000, i 000. No one but the Lord and the , secretary of tho treasury knows how much it will be next year. In creasing so rapidly as does the country in wealth and population, the revenue of the government constantly grows larger even un der the same law, necessitating, for that reason alone an occasion al revision and over-hauling. Yet Congress, the body in which legislation is supposed to be vested, contents itself 03 referring to an outside and irresponsible commission the whole question of the tariff. This is right or wretur: which is it? Austkalia. is evidently a coun try where a person can become an extensive land monopolist on a small investment. For a block of laud comprising 4917 square miies. in the north of South Australia, $1 75 a square mile was offered, and for another of o038 square miles only S3 75. In the first in stance tho land brought 7.4 cents an acre; in tho latter a little over 5.8 cents. Ilere is a good oppor tunity for - the dog-in-tho-manp-er crowd ihar hold on to t!ie 2Vsn5rfa land grant. Let them hie to Aus tralia and get unto themselves a kingdom in the under side of the world. The editor of the Meriden, Miss. Mercury is a gentle creature. He would look well under a descend ing pile driver; such a one as is whacking away across the street. He thinks "There has been enough gushing aud lying about Garfield, since his demise, to damn a nation; and all put together, it has not done him half as much good as a single drop of water would do if I ""?
