This is worth, in San Francisco, esti mating the average value, free on board cars or ships, at S5 per case, or $5,600,000 in the 'aggregate. This with fruits and vegetables gives a grand total of $10,100,000 as the value of the canned goods product of this coast for the year ended. In the Xrqduction of salmon the Columbia river takes the lead, both in the ex tent of the catch and the value of fish. The salmon from the Columbia is conceded to be the finest fish taken; is distinct from that found in other streams, and commands ordinarily from 20 to 40 cents per case (of four dozen one pound tins) more than any other salmon. The pack for the year 1883, was about G33,000 cases, worth say 3,165,000. The pack for 1882 was 547,322 cases, showing an increase for 1883 of about 86,000 cases ($430, 000) of salmon. About 60 per cent of the entire pack was sold for use in the United States and Canada. The Northern Pacific came into operation too late to benefit much by this traffic, taking for the season, all told, about 28,000 cases East There were shipped to San Francisco for distribution, 269,168 cases; 275,136 cases were ex ported, and the remainder, with the exception of about 28,000 cases, was shipped around the Horn for New Tork and Atlantic coast markets. The proportion of domestic sales was much larger than usual last year. The tinexpected volume of the pack created an anxiety to sell and a de cline in prices followed, which great ly stimulated consumption of salmon in the United States. During the early months of the spring run (there is no fall packing on the Co lumbia, a fact which tends to keep up the reputation and preference for this salmon) the fish ran in a straggling and scant' way, the catch was mea gre, and the outlook was for a very fight pack, notwithstanding the fact that the number of boats emplo3'ed in the fisheries on the river was doubled. But in July there came a run which was marvelous, .astound ing the oldest inhabitant on the river, and requiring all the means that could be procured to cart for them, and some were unable to handle the fish brought to them. The July run brought the catch and pack up, beyond "that of any previous year, and beyond the wildest expectations. There came an anx iety to work off these unexpected stocks, and the decline in prices be gan and continued till salmon was at SL001.02 per dozen on the river, the lowest price known for years past. At one time owing to its excess while the Sacramento salm on was in short supply, the Columbia river fish was quoted in San Fran cisco even with that of Sacramento river fish, something heretofore un known in the salmon business. These prices, as already stated greatly stim ulated the domestic demand in this country, and so brisk and well con continued was the increase of con sumption that all fears of a large carryover of stocks subsided, and prices began to recover. These con ditions, together with the fact that stocks in England from 1882 sbip- merits on sales and consignments were large, and that experience with the treatment of consignments at the hands of English merchants was not of a character to encourage that kind of business, tended to prevent exports of Columbia river salmon and keep down the volume of ship- ments, especially those on consign-1 ment. Although the volume of busi ness was larger than usual on the Columbia river, the season was an unprofitable one for cauners. This was due partly to the conditions stated above, but mainly to the ex orbitant prices paid for raw salmon. The tendency has for some years been toward higher prices for the raw product, and instead of 20 to 25 cents each paid for salmon, as was done a few years ago, the price has been ad vanced, owing to competition among the canners, to 60 or 70c. and during this last season as high as 90 cents apiece for fish was paid. This ex--orbitant price, together with the low prices for the manufactured product, wiped out all the margin of profit The canner who came out even on the years work, was considered for tunate, while many lost money, and were taught a dear lesson, which it is to be hoped the7 will profit by in fu ture operations. There are some 90 canneries on the coast engaged in packing salmon, of which number 37 are on the Columbia, employing 1,600 boats, each worked by two men. Un the Sacramento there are 14 -salmon canneries, besides 6 in San Francisco in the business. The Jbraser river has fourteen canneries, and the re mainder of the above total are on what are called outside rivers in Ore gon, California, Washington Terri tory, British Columbia and Alaska. The increased packing on the Colum bia last year was offset by a decrease in that of the Fraser river, which was about 175,000 cases, making the pro duct of the Columbia and Fraser to gether tally almost exactly with the combined pack of the two rivers in 1882. The Sacramento product also fell short of the 1882 pack about 40,000 cases. In round num bers the put-up of 1883 with Sacra mento was 115,000 cases in the spring, arid 45,000 cases in the fall a total of 160,000 cases. To offset this, the out side packs were larger, and the pack of Alaska was larger last year bv about 50,000 cases, than for 1882, be ing in the neighborhood ot 155,000 cases.

What the Pacific Coast Needs. The American people are supposed io be enterprising and ambitious, but we do not show it in connection with the construction of a canal across the American Isthmus. We complain that our commerce has left the oceans, and that our fleet is almost unknown to the maritime world. Our navy is a by-word and our commer cial marine grows smaller in propor tion every year. It is passing strange that the fame our naval heroes won on the lakes, in the waters of Europe, along the coast of England itself as well as in distant seas, should be for gotten, as it seems to be. There is nothing now that equals the gallant service rendered by Yankee clippers that made voyages round the world when the world was a deal larger than it is to-day. The wonderful enter prise that sent fleets of trading ships from quiet ports along the New Eng land shores in the early decades has no parallel in the closing decade of the nineteenth century. We look on with unconcern and see French en terprise and foreign capital under Galliciau engineers, work out the problem of isthmus transportation. Though some earnest minds sound the alarm, congress refuses to show common courtesy when American en terprise offers to give us a ship canal via Nicaragua. The proposition to construct a ship canal from ocean to ocean at Nica ragua is of the utmost importance. Nature has done so much there with lakes and rivers that the work is within the easy reach of American capital. It is possible to accomplish it with not over one-half what it must co3t to bore the sea-level channel at Panama. We are especially involved in all that controls the Pacific ocean. With us, everything that bears on this question has direct importance, for we are dependent on the oc.ean for conveyance of our crops to the world's markets.- To shorten the distance is essential, and to open a route via the isthmus is very important. The fact that sailing ships cannot get to Pana ma as easily and certainly as they can to Nicaragua, 700 miles north, is an item more important than the mere saving of a distance. The dead calms that prevail in those tropic latitudes, are a bar to the use of sailing vessels, and make the Nicaragua canal a necessity. Just the difference in pass age via Panama and via Nicaragua may make it possible for us to grow wheat for European markets. This is only a mere touching of great points to call attention to the supine character of congress when considering this really great and im portant question. We talk about the Clayton-13ulwer treaty, made a gen eration ago, and England and the United States almost quarrel over its implied meaning, but we do noth ing towards realizing the great ob ject that treatyhad in view. If American commerce has any value and the interests of these Pa cific states are worth considering, then it is worth while for congress to do something towards building up commerce and favoring the interests of our producers, who can do some thing towards feeding the world if they can send their products to market The Nicaragua project is far more easily possible than the Panama project. A proper respect for American prestige requires that the work shall be begun and finished under American auspices. Our na tion must control the American con tinent and ddend itself from aggres sion in any form. Capital stands ready to undertake this work with moderate guarantee from govern not poor or ment. Our nation is weak. It never was so rich and strong; then, now. is the time to as- j sert independence and show respect , for native enterprise. The only ques- j tion is, whether the work will pay in the near futuro? It may be that it will not, but the growth of the world's commerce justines the DoneL that it soon will pay welL JMeanlime, it cap- j ital asks guarantee, why not, from the overflow of the national treasury, take the millions needed for this im portant work, when so doing will sus tain nnr nrpsHs-n rimmicr the nations and assure prosperity to a great com-! Mountains? Northioest Neics. A Depraved Community. The question of immorality among these people is being agitated just now by the southern press. Mar riages are not always solemized among them. If a man sees a woman who pleases him, and if she "takes a shine to him" as they express it they often do not consider a minis ter's services necessary, but go to housekeeping at once. The people here seem inclined to excuse this custom upon the ground . that under the law of South Carolina if a man lives with a woman as his wife and openly acknowledges her to be his spouse, she is as legally wedded as if the ceremony had been performed. There are cases reported occasionally where one of these "crackers" makes his own divorce laws. Cases have been known where a man has traded off his wife to a neighbor for another woman or for provisions. They hold women sometimes like currency. If they have one of 40 they trade her for two of 20. This if not often done, fortunately, although a case was re ported in June, in Chesterfield count', and another still later in Lancaster county. The Chesterfield man got a bale of cotton, a keg of corn whisky, a pair of boots and a dog for his wife, who, it is alleged, was perfectly willing to make tho trade. The Lancaster man traded for another wife and a kerosene lamp, with a hand-painted porcelain shade to boot. Two weeks later the other man came to nun ana oiierea mm SL50 in cash to trade back again, say--ing that the woman not only ate too much, but stole the furniture and pawned it for whisky. These remark able stories are vouched for by local papers still in my possession, and, strange to say, the people of that section seem to have regarded these" infamouB transactions simply in the light of humorous affairs.
