Officers of the Hudson Bay Com
pany have for many years known of
the black cod of tho northwest coast
which the Indians of Cape Flattery
call the boschow. The fish, in reality,
is not a cod at all, but a species of
pollack, and has a scientific name
much too elaborate to use.
The fish is said to bo a rare delicacy
such as can only be appreciated by
those who have enjoyed it. It is ex
tremely fat and rich, and has very
much the flavor of the best mackerel.
The texture of the fish is tender and
delicate, and quite free from the
woodiness and hardness which are the
chief defects of salted codfish. It is
not too much to say that the quality
and general excellence of these fish
are so great that they cannot fail to
meet with universal approbation,
herever introduced. The tish when
taken from the water average about
thirty inches in length. They abound
all along the west coast of Queen
Charlotte Island and mainland up to
Alaska Territory. Owing to the great
depth at which they are found tho In
dians do irtit fish for them generally,
but could readily be got to do so were
the demand great.

-The Tillamook correspondent of
the Yamhill Reporter Bays: A man by
the name ot A. Williams maae his ad
vent in this county about one week
ago, who evidently thought ho had
just struck the place he was looking
for. I he first night be was m town
he stole about 25 from different
parties. The next morning, when he
was going down tho bay, just before
starting he called at G. W. Fernsido'a
store, and when Mr. F. was called to
the door, Williams took from the
counter a silver watch worth $35 and
a pipe worth $8. He was arrested in
Garibaldi and sentenced to jail for
thirty days. Last night ho was invit
ed to take a walk, or rather a moon
light ramble, by about thirty or forty
citizens of tho county, and given about
thirty or forty lashes with a good raw
hide and recommended to go to
warmer clime.
Williams ought at once go to Poit
land and bring suit for 25,000 dam
