The Columbia Canning company will hold their annual meeting at tho com pany's office at two o'clock to-morrow aftoruoon. Rev. R. S. Macliafferty continues his Sunday night lectuies. "The subject an nounced for to-night is, "Tho Observ ance of tho Lord's Day." The regular sunset display last e-veu-ing was rondered further remarkable by the appoarance of green clouds that formed in regular strata above the west ern horizon.

A turnip 39 inches in diameter and weighing 35 pounds, occupies a promi nent place in Bozorth t Johns' office. It was grown on J.Matief s place at Clat sop, and is a good illustration of what can be done in the matter of root crops in that locality. Patent Outsidks. II is said that tho postmaster-genoral has decided that newspapers known as "patent outsides,' "insides" or "co-operatives,"" etc., shall be excluded from the mails n second class publications. The reason is that these papers, being similarly printed on one side in large cities, then sold by the quire or ream, to thousands of cauntry publishers, who make up and print the other half of tho paper with home news and local advertising, is sufficient evi dence that such papers arc not self-sustaining. There are about 4,000 such pub lications in this country, and if the rul ing above referred to should go into ef fect, probably 3,000 "co-operatives" of the smallest circulation and load adver tising patronage would necessarily sus lend publication. It is not generally known, but is a fact all the same, that notices published in these papers are illegal. Ex. Tho Roys Washed Out to Sen. A man from Tillamook informs the .Votes that tho schooner Aljiha, on her recent disastrous trip had two boys aboard, who, when in the breakers, were washed overboard. "When they went over they had hold of a ropo and clung to it for dear life, but were unable for a time lo got aboard again, owing to their bo iiig heavily clothed and their largo gnm boots. Willie Star finally succeeded in getting somo of his things off and helped Johnny Gablesou on board. He then soon stood beside his almost naked comrade on dock. They again set sail, and for eleven days wore alone on the deep, with scant rations and bruised bodies. Their food finally gave out, and for three days they were compelled to fast. Tho plucky little fellows did not give up, and wero at last rewarded by again reaching the bar, and crossing this timo m safety. When they were taken ashore it was dis covered that they had sustained some ter rible bruises. Addition to Ocean Park. On the splendid stretch of ocean beach that extends from McKenzies Head to Oysterville are somo fine locations, each forming the nucleus for futuro seaside resorts. Among tho most prominent is tho addition to Ocean Park, which is now attracting considerable attention. Lots in this tract have found ready sale and alreads some 1,100 have been dispos ed of; thero remains an eighty acre piece which is said by those who have trequentlj' visited tho locality to bo tho choicest portion of the location. Refer ence to our advertising columns shows that an opportunity is now offered to those wishing a lot for residence or investment to purchase. The sale begins at tho auc tion rooms of E. C. Holden to-morrow; the title is perfect, a warranty deed be ing furnished the purchaser. Jury List.

Itallroail Probabilities A prominent Astorinn said yesterday that he was assured by a leading Union Pacific official thai were the Astoria land grant out of the way the U. P. folks would soon head this way. It is thought that clever Mr. Hogg of the Oregon Pacific is at tho bottom of tho recent ac tivity in railroad matters at Yaquina Ray; and that he has induced the Oregon Short Line to take a look that wjy. Disinterested mariners who ply tho stormy mam say mat inquina can not be made as good a harbor as Tilla mook, and that is saying a great ileal. In connection with other rumors it is said that there will le a prominent of ficial here next Tuesday who is in the in terest of the Utah and Wvoming railroad, and offers for $5)9,001) to be raised by Astorians to have a railroad built to somo point in the Wil lamette Valley. An effort to get definite information :is to who this prominent official is. whore he gets his authority, who is backing him, where the road is to be built to. and other in teresting details, leads to nothing but as surances that it is all so. Some pious soul has defined a sacrament to be an outward sign of inward faith, or a sacred and mysterious sign or ceremony by which Divine grace is conveyed lo the soul. There would appear to be something sac ramental about the knowledge vouch safed to many favored beings concerning possible railroad results. Tlic CIclROp Knsd. The matter of building a road to Clat sop across Young's rivor is still under dis cussion, it is pretty generally conceded that tho best scheme is that suggested in Tni: AsToniAN, viz: To have a ferry across the ship channel. So far $11,400 has been subscribed; some of those who have alr&ndy put their names down have sig nified their willingness to double tho amount. The capital stock of the cor poration is 25,001), and from present ap pearances tho matter will bo prosecuted to a successful completion of this neces sary thoroughfare. H0TKL ARRIVALS.

The Pacific fishing grounds are in the Ohkotsk sea, in latitude 53 degrees north, longitude 155 deg. east, inEehring sea in latitude 55 deg.-30 niin. north, longi tude 1G5 degrees west, and off the Chou niagin Islands in latitude 55 deg. 20 min. north, longitude IG9 deg. 30 min. west. The former is an arm of the Pacific ocean, extending between the peninsula of Kamtchatka and the Asiatic continent. Bearing sea. or as it is sometimes called, the sea of Kamtchatka. lies between! North America and Asia, south of Ber-! ing straits and north of the Aleutian ! Islands. Tho ChonmaL'in Islands lie in ! the Pacific ocean off the coast of Alaska, It is f t tlifi bitfpr whit that nnn of ih&' permanent fishing and trading stations n 1n.ul in n-l.;.!. tl,o m)aI nf ' vessels in Behring sea. is brought for i shipment to San Francisco. Tho favorile fishing ground, although tho most re-, mote, is that on the western coast of ' Kamtchatka. in the Okhotsk sea. about 1 iul.llu cjaiu i is tiuiuu tuc V4tvu biiu 4000 miles away, in a direct line, from i that port, and requiring a voyago from ! t i.;-t 4, clwv Ani-a -nli if tlio 1;- thirty to sirtv davs to reach it. the dis- tance being double that to the Bshring sea. Three routes to these grounds pre- sent themselves one due west, one to the I north and one to the tho Sandwich Islands. Irtnrroct 4 lie t. outgoing vessels on account of the pleas actual settlement or have valuable im nnter weather encountered. Eacti cod t provements upon the odd numbered sec fishing vessel carries a company of from j tions adjacent to tho uncompleted por-twenty-four to forty men, according to tion of said road or branch thereof, with her capacity, and each is provided with a bona fide intent to secure title thereto from jtwelvc to twenty-iive dorys one for ! by purchase from the said Northern Pa each fisherman. Tho fishermen work as J cific Railroad comjxiny, when the said sailors while on the vovage, but trust for company had earned the same by com- meir compensation 10 ineir success in ijimukc uuu iuc cjuuiuuili buu require fishing. each man receiving S25 per 1000 ' inents of said act, shall be entitled to for the fish which he catches The vessels set seil in April or May, and, arrived upon the grounds, cast anchor train ten to twenty miles irom snoro and commence opperutions for the season, which closes in September. At 4. a. si. the men take to their boats and row to such point within a radius of ten or , twelve miles from the ship as each may see fit to select, where they anchor and proceed to fish, using two handlines pro vided with two No. 10 hooks and four pounds of lead to each line. The bait used at the opening of the season is a piece of salt herring, and afterwards hal- iouc and saimou, wuen inose nsu mane their appearance. Salmon is the favorite , bait, and largo numbers of these fish are caught and cured for that purpose. When they first make their appearance in July they have to bo fished for with what is technically known as a "jig,' a bunch of small hooks on the end of a line, which, baited with something white and attractive, is towed astern of a boat, tho boatman holding the other end of the line between his teeth. Later on, when the salmon ascend tho fresh-water rivers to spawn, they are caught in seines. The salmon swarm upon the Kamtchatkan coast to such an extent that the Little river, the Goligan, the Great Balsha and other fresh water streams are clogged with them. Tho vessels then anchor close in shore and take from five to six boat-loads of fish, which are dressed and salted away for bait. So plentiful aro the salmon that not only the fishermen, but the bears also secure a supply. The latter, having no nets, use their paws to sweep the fish out of the water and rap idly iaiien upon sucu iare. Aiier naving laid in a good stock of salmon tho real work of the expedition begins, and con: tinueswith varied success, from 2C0 to .W0 a day being a good day's catch for one man, but the number will sometimes rise to 700 nnd again fall to next to nothing. The cod, while a voracious fish, is still rather dainty, it would ap pear, and does not care to change diet. Therefore, when feeding on salmon thov will not bite at any other bait; or if feed ing on herring thoy will not tako the salmon. Sometimes, again, they will re fuse to bite at all, no matter what is offered them, and the fishermen havo tho pleasure of seeing swarms of fish in tho water below them, not one of which can bo persuaded to take tho hook. When the dav's work is completed the boatmen row back to their ship nnd the fish aro taken in hand by the "dress gang." These men are hired at from 30 to $tX) a month and take no sharo in the profits of the catch except what fish they take for themselves by fishing from the vessel while the fishermen are away, or in case a boat is left idle through the sick ness of one of the fishermen, when tho captain will allow one of the "dress cane to borrow it and fish for himself. "When the fish come aboard they arc first taken in hand by one "throater," who cuts the throats and opens tho bellies. Tho "header"' then takes off the head and removes tho entrails and passes them to the "splitter," who splits them open and cuts out the backbone. They are then thrown into tubs and washed, and after tho water is drained off tbe3' are nassed into tho hold, where the 'Salter ' packs them in tiers or "kenches," laying them alternately head and tail and be stowing a double bandtui ot coarse salt upon each fish. Thero they remain until the arrival of tho vessel in port. Onr Dally Bread. A little girl knelt down to pray Ono morn. Tho mother said, "My love, why do we always say, Give us our daily bread? "Why not ask for a week or more?" The babe bent her head In thoughtful mood toward tho floor, "We want it fresh,' she said. The Clarion:).
