V M Site giails) QslaxXixvu ASTORIA, OREGON: AVEDNESlJAYr.7. MARCH 7, lSi-3 Salmon. As the time approaches when the boats are to he put into the water, the probable outlook for the season becomes a subject of general discussion. Recent action demonstrates one important fact, viz: that the price of the raw material will be higher than heretofore, as high as ninety cents to fishermen owning their own boats having already been adver tised. So many things affect the market that nothing more than generalization can be indulged in. It is pretty well settled in regard to supply that high water in the Columbia means a good run. Ad vices from the upper country even on this subject are contradictory, some reports being to the effect that there will be a tremendous volume of water come down from vast accumulations of melted snow, while others claim that the snow fall is unusually light, consequently entailing less of a spring rise than usual. It would appear to us that the former of the statements comes nearer the truth. In this matter the element of uncertainty also comes in; every few years there is an extremely light run: the pack for several years has been a good one. In the matter of values there exists an equal diversit' of opinion. So far some G5,000 cases have been sold; the prices given, said to range from S1.22A to 1.30 on the river. Just how the canner can pay 130 cents for fish, and sell at a profit for $1.22i :i case doos appear. The market is practically unlimited. On this subject Dick son & Renwick, in Liverpool, in their annual review for 5S2, say: It is a matter for astonishment where a million cases of salmon can be absorbed. The increasing consumption of the U. S. will soon make that outlet as important as the European markets. Good trade, as well as the high prices of meats throughout the U. K. and the U. S., as well as an increase in exports to the Australias, etc., has assisted the absorption of the enormous quantity of fish. This country may be reckoned on for 500,000 cases, including re-exports, the U. S. for something over 300, 000 cases, and although the Aus tralian and other colonial supplies are largely supplemented by ex ports from this country, close upon 100,000 oases may be calculated on as shipped direct from San Francisco. The shipments direct from Col umbia river to' U. K. of this sea son's fih amount to over 350,000, of which about CI, 000 come to London direct, and the balance to Liverpool. Over 170,000 cases have been moved to San Francisco for re-shipment there to Australia, &c, or to the eastern states by rail or sea. The largest parcel of salmon ever shipped in one bot tom comes this season per the ""Wallacetown" from Columbia river to Liverpool, she carrying 70,000 cases. The bulk of the Frazier river and 13. C. packing is headed for London, about 180,000 cases being now afloat for there. As the year closes tiiere is evi dent among distributors a -feeling that lower prices must prevail when the large shipments due the next few months arrive, and as prime brands are now obtainable, ex quay, as low as or lower than any c. f. and i. sales were made during the packing season, we must admit that there appears a weakness which is likely to be developed shortly.- Mean time, with consumption inactive and indifference of buyers to carry stocks, a much greater reduction than importers care to make would be necessary to make large sales, and consequently the unsold portions of arrivals are being, as a general thing, stored to take chances. In discussing the same subject the S. F. Pos says: Let the upput be .either an average or even very large and we fancy that values will rule high, and that those who hold the long est will make the most money. This we base on advices from all consuming states and countries (excepting, perhaps, Australia), which goes to show that the stocks held are light for the tune of year. The consumption wherever the fish have been introduced has shown a most wonderful growth, necessitating dealers to carry more stock. Salmon is not counted so much of a luxury now as it is an article of food. Being considered an article of food, is the cause of its increased consumption. All other kinds of canned fish, meats, etc., which naturally compete with salmon are higher both in Europe and in the United States; and commanding high prices allows the freer consumption of canned salmon. This is the better slrow in the simple statement that, though the upput of salmon on this coast last year was the largest ever known, yet the quantity passed into consumption has been so large as to leave stocks throughout the world less now than at this date any previous year. The coming season the pack will come in on a market with a compa rative light stock. If last year's very large upput was cared for, with high values ruling throughout the season, it is only reasonable to conclude that a moderate or an av erage upput will command still higher values, owing to the higher prices ruling for all articles of food which come more or less in competition with it. The increased amount of gear put into the water this season, the keener competition, the increase of co-operative establishments are among the influences that tend to make any suggestions concerning the matter purely speculative. In spite of the fears of states men and the selfish opposition of officialism, the condition and expe rience of the Russian people seem to make them specially fit for po litical freedom says the Fortnight ly Review. They are reared in the practice of local self-government. Everywhere the peasantry, the great bulk of the nation, are accustomed to meet, to vote, and mauage their social and local af fairs; to elect the managers of their commune, and to implicitly obey those whom they have elected. They have to provide, not individ ually, but each commune collect ively, for the excessive taxation imposed by the central govern ment, and, in addition, to bear the irritating and constant interfer ence of a central officialism. The extension of their experience and action from local and social to po litical and national affairs seems a safe and natural step. There are, in fact, unusual guarantees in Rus sia for the right exercise of polit ical power by the people. There are produced annually in the United States 100,000 barrels of hemlock bark extract, of which a single Boston firm produces 72, 000 barrels. They own nine ex tract works and operate twenty three tanneries. All the tanneries of the United States consume annually 1,250,000 cords of hem lock bark, produced in nine states. As the yield of bark is about seven cords to an acre of hemlock timber, the yearly consumption implies the clearing of 178,000 acres. In the main, the bark is stripped from trees cut for timber; and as the demand for this timber exceeds the supply, the supply of both timber and bark is threatened with' speedy exhaustion. On this coast, and especially in the imme diate vicinity of Astoria, the hem lock forests are destined some day to be an important source of revo nue. Tiie San Francisco Chronicle says: "The new town of Naples, in Idaho, on the Oregon Short Line, has a novel jail. It consists of a hole in the ground, into which prisoners are dropped. The guards give strict orders that any man who puts his head out will become a target for their Winchester rifle3. Although the number of prisoners is large, no escapes have been reported. As the majority of jail-birds have been used to liv ing in "dug-outs" their health does not suffer from the underground prison. The peculiar nature of the jail does not admit of any at tempt to set it on fire, and, taken altogether, it has merits which more civilized communities might adopt with profit." Notice.
