a salt water fish." Thus doth tho Orego
nian try to get out. of the question by
going to tho dictionary after obsolescent
works. No one denies that the salmon is
an "ancdrom," which simply means "a
fish that ascends rivers," but there is
nothing in natural history,or the diction
ary, to prevent a salmon's being at once
a salt water fish and an "anadrom" too.
The fact of the matter is that it is so
long since our genial naturalist of the
Oregonian got a taste of real genuine,
22 carat, yard wide, Columbia salmon,
that ho lias forgotten tho experience of
Srovious seasons. It is only July 15th.

THE HOWE PLANING 3IIL1-
Wni. Howe makes an announcement
this morning of considerable interest to
everyone who has anything to do with
building. Ho has bought the Hansen
mill from W. W. Parker, and it will be
henceforth known as tho "Howe Planing
Mill.' He will furnish sashes, doors,
mouldings, etc., in a prompt and satis
factory manner, and will do his best to
suit his patrons and the public generally.
There is n largo quantity of this work in
demand, and he expects and without
doubt will do his share of it. The mill
is well provided with machinery, and
there is no reason why a single order
should be sent awaj' that could as well
and as cheaply bo done in this city.
This is no experiment on his part. He
has long been known as a skillful and
successful builder. All over the Oolum
bia river are specimens of his skill, and
ho now makes public announcement of
the fact that ho is again on deck with a
largo and well supplied mill, ready to
furnish at short notice everything tliat is
usually manufactured in a first-class
establishment of this kind. Everyone is
cordially invited to visit the Howo plan
ing mill.

Tho beauty of la-sl Sunday morning at
tracted a large crowd of pleasure- p&ekerf
on board the har.dsomo and commodious
sioamer Gen. Milrs, which left Gray's
dock at S o'clock for n nearer approach
to tho ocean. Under thoskillful guidance
of Captain AVhitcomb thosteamcrhcaded
for Port Stevens, whero n landing of pas
sengers for that point was effected. Tho
shoaling of tho sand at the wharf makes
it necessary to put all Fort Stevens' pas
sengers off in a smidl boat , and this should
beonongh to make tho enterprising coni-
Lany that own tho boat use a transfer
oat that is in better nndtijzhter condi
tion than the one that landed tho Fort
Stevens passengers last Sunday. A'fter
landing tiie Fort Stevens' passengers the
Miles proceeded to Fort Canby. where a
large number got off, and then went on to
lhvaco, the terminus of a pleasant trip.
To those who have never made the trip it
is one that is fall of pleasure and inter
est; and those who have been there on
former occasions embrace every oppor
tunity to revisit the different points of
interest. The Miles is well fitted up for
tho excursion to the forts and the capes;
she is manned by experienced and efficient
men and in deservedly popular with As
toriaus, who always patronize and en
courage anything that shows enterprise
nud a disposition to please.

President Harris, of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company, has been inter
viewed by an Oregonian reporter. He
says that his company has had the mat
ter of leasing the O. R. Ar N. linps under
consideration for some time, and that
they have finally concluded to take that
step.
"liny 1 jisk upon what terms the lease
is made?' asked the reporter.
"Substantially the same." answered
Mr. Harris, "as wnfe published .ome time
since-, viz.: Payment of fixed charges; C
per cent, interest the first year, 7 per
cent, the K-cond nud S per cent, thereaf
ter. Thi is the basis around which wo
are negotiating."
"When will negotiations probably bo
concluded?'
"That is hard to say. The negotia
tions cover n vast amount of property;
nearly 700 miles of railroad, the .steam
ship and steamboat lines, docks, the in
terest in tho Northern Pacific Terminal
compan.v. and minor properties. You
see llicy involve a vast amount of clerical
work, and nothing will be concluded that
is not entirely satisfactory to both
roads.5
'How will this affect the building of
tho Cascade branch?
''Not at nil. It has always been the in
tent ion of the Northern Pacific to come
to Portland and to Puget Sound. In
18S0, with the great financial load of
constructing 800 miles of road to com-
Sletc tho main line from the lakes to the
blumbia river, the company found it to
be its best interest to join with the O. II.
& N., which was built from Walluln to
Portlaud. These conditions are not
changed. Tho Cascade division will bo
built. Tho laud grant will sustain it
during its infancy, until such time as the
development of the country through
which it passes will givo it substantial
support.'
"How will tho proposed lease affect tho
Oregon Short Line?.'
'Not nt all. The Union Pacific has a
traffic contract for ten years with the O.
11. fc N. Co., on almost the samo terms as
that made with tho Northern Pacific in
the fall of 1880. The only difference is
that tho Northern Pacific's in in perjjet
uity. For the noxl ten years tho Union
Pacific will como into Portland on pre
cisely the same basis as the Northern
Pacific does now."
"How soon, do you think, the formal
transfer of tho O. It. &. N. will be mado
to you?"
"Probably by tho end of August."
"For what temi of years?"
"Oh, It will be 'a marriage for weal or
for woe.' Probably 99 years."

Salmon FlsherlM In AlaiVa.
Sitka, Juno 17, IrSl.
That tho headquarters of tho salmon
canning industry will bo eventually trans
ferred from the Columbia river to Alaska
is tho creed of all loyal Alaskans. There
aro several causes for the possible change,
tho most important of which at the pres
ent time is the enormous differenco in the
first cost of tho fish in favor of Alaska;
another cogent reason is the rapidly in
creasing demand for this invaluable food
and tho probable future inability of tho
southern rivers to meet it. One recently
developed phase of the trade the ship
ment f tue fresh fish in refrigerator cars
to the interior and Atlantic coast the
Columbia will unquestionably always
monopolize, and this, of itself, promises
to bo a trade of no small size. The com
parative merits of "the fish :re in favor
of the Columbia, but not to the extent
often stated by superficial observers. The
southern fish is fatter nnd is sujerior in
size and flavor to the generality of the
run in tho noilh; but for cunning and
salting bulk is not an important advan
tage, and the more delicate flavor tho
J San Francisco Chronicle correspondent
thinks is lost in the process of preserving.
ALAHKAX WATKC5 SWAH1UNO WITH I IStl.
In tho matter of supply, Alaskn is
practically inexhaustible. The streams,
which are numbered by the hundreds,
teem with fish. True, there are millions
of them unmarketable; their flesh is white
nud has a rank flavor. J his spec.es is
known as don salmon and runs in sucu
numbers that one can wade the shallow
streams and drive them out of tho water.
The Indians catch them by means of a
large hook attached to u pole nnd in tills
way will fill their canoes in an incredibly
short time. On tho other hand, there are
numerous streams in all portions of the
Territory that swnnn with a fine quality
of bright red s?lmon, nnd five yearn
hence it is doubtful if there will lie one
on theso locations unoccupied by fishing
establishments. Thero is a ready market
for all this class of salted fish that can
be obtained. The Columbia river mer
chants do not respond to tho demand, as
it is more profitable, to them to cm their
fish and more remunerative to their fish
ermen to catch only the largo one?. The
Alaska fish is more suitable for salting,
ns the average weight dressed is about
three pounds. Mauy enterprising mer
chants of the Pacific coast are aware of
these facts nnd alive to their importance,
no better proof of which can be offered
than is shown by tho rapid increase of
business in these waters in the past year
by tho Pacific Coast Steamship Company.

Your correspondent has completed a
tour of the islands, during which time he
has visited nil the canneries within a ra

has opened with promising activity; three
new salting establishments have been lo
cated and their buildings almost coro

started operations last season. They
wore mostly oquipped on an economical
basis, with tho fewest possible employes

All start in this season with largely in

assumed this season's showing will dem

headquaiters of the salmon-eanuiug in
dustry. A THllKATEXKll WAR OF RACES.
Indian labor Is chiefly employed, nnd
is generally paid nt the rate of 20
per ton, excepting notably at Chilcat,
where the two rival establishments en
gaged in n war of prices against each
other, paying ns high as 15 cts. per fish, a
suicidal policy", as the hopelessness of ev
er convincing thes3 Indians that the
highest prico paid is not tho just one is a
well-known fact. The result proved as
might have been expectod, for the trad
ing company has been obliged to import
Chinese labor. A complication is not
unlikely to follow this action. Tho In
dians throatcu to prevent tho Chinamen
engaging in fishing nnd the trading com
pany retaliates with counter-threats to
call in tho sen-ices of the United States
war vessel now in these waters. The
tribe at this point are more independent
and self-reliant than in any other coast
portionof tho Territory. Their natural ad
vantages in location are strong, and they
know it nnd are boastful of it. Then
village lies on tho banks of n shallow
river, about fifteen miles from its mouth,
nnd tho stream is not nnvigable for man-of-war
boats.
CHEAl' IKDIAK LAUOJ:.
Most, if not nil, the fishing establish
ments manufacture their own barrels
here. Lumber is abundant and cheap.
Hooiwcost about $21 a thousand iu Port
land, and the freight up is $14. A good
cooper will average 1,000 barrels a month.
He receives $7fi a month and board.
Considering all things, Indian labor for
golting out the stave-bolts, for which is
paid S3 or SG n cord, a barrel made here
costs, roughly, 1.50, which is cheaper
than it can be bought in San Francisco.
There is no civil government and no tax
es, perfect security prevails and the land
is free to all. Tho Indians, ns a rule,
are tho most harmless and inoffensive
creatures "that exist anywhere. Somo of
tho whites are timid enough to believe
that if it were not for the presence of a
war vessel the Indians would give trouble,
but as Undo Sam always keeps one of
his invincible fleets in these waters, tho
most faint hearted, with such protection,
apprehend no harm.
CHAXCES FOR rSVESTaiKNT.
A small capital judiciously expended
here by any one with a good knowl
edge of tno business would net a
handsome yearly profit. In the first
ijiru il 1.1 utti2ury io visit me country
during the fishing season and carefully
select a location near a good red-salmon
stream, or better still, m the neighbor
hood of several such streams. A location
of this kind is not difficult lo find, and
if settled upon, a steam launch would
prove invaluable for towinc the fish-ln.
den boats to the cannery. This is a
want which is seriously felt by several of
tho canneries now in operation, as they
fish streams within a radius of ton or
more miles. A boat of tins kind would
expedite matters immensely and fre
quently facilitate a doublo catch of fish.
By tho end of tho season it would bo
found that she had quite paid for her
self. In lieu of such a boat several of
tho canneries havo built large flat-bottomed
sloops, which thoy pull or fa:l
from point to point until loaded, leaving
tho Indians with their canoes to finish
their fishing. This, howover, is slow
work nnd involves coasiderab! labor
another suggestion would be to endeavor
to establish somewhere near tho mail
steamer's route, the advantages of which
aro manuest.
nEAVY FREIGHT RATES.
Tho preseut freight ratas are the most
serious drawbaoks. They are undoubt
edly high, but this is a fault that will
correct itself with increase of business.
From north nf Tnrt "WrannaU in Ron
Francisco $10 a ton is charged for lots of
teutons and over, from south of Wran
eell $8. The rates are up higher and
yary according to the class of goods. 'As
the fishing season here commences two
months later than on tho Columbia and
closes nearly that much later, an impor
tant advantage is gained in enabling tho
parties here to estimate closely tho nec
essary quantity to can in order to supply
the demand.
COD FISHERIES.
The cod fisheries of Alaska aro likewise
destined to play n prominent part in tho
future. A thorough and profitable pros
pect of this branch of tho business was
made lost season by the Northwestern
Trading Company at its Kilisnoo station.
The fish are of fnir sizo, avernginjfwhpn
ureaseu iuiiy two poanas; tno meat ic
rTiif- firm nnrl fif firm flnirr. lwinn
tho past winter tho company built thirty
fiRliiii lxints onmmnfliniia cilffi- 1 !
iugaml packing house?, madeei'tensno
ndditionsto its fine wharf, and perfected
all arrangements to insure prompt and
proper aire of tho immenso catch they
confidently expect to make. Its-'chiof
difficulty heretofore was in drying tho
fish, owing to the extreme, humidity of
the atmosphere, but this has been over
come by an artificial process. The fish
are laid in light trays consisting of a
slender frame nnd twine network; theso
nre piled one over the other in cars
which are run in a long wooden tunnel,
having a hot-air furnace at one cud and
an exhaust at the other. How long it
will take to dry the fish in this wav has
not been yet determined. Several tons of
cod were put up hero last season, nnd nre
said to have met with a prompt sale at
top prices.

KIsH MXKS SIX illUK LONU.
"They fish with Hues six miles long iu
Winnebago lake. Wisconsin, and use
20,000 hooks on every lino," v-aid a Kow
York fisherman who has leen there. "nud
if they don't haul up 2,000 fish every
time they call it indifferent luck. And
every fish will weigh from twenty to
sovenlj pounds. That's the way they
fish for alurgeon out there.
''One of these lines will reach half way
across the lake. It is a rope an inch in
diameter. It is carried out in tho lake,
largo buoys being nltached to it nt inter
vals to keep it on the surface. The 20.000
hooks, baited with a piece of meat or
fish, are lowered to tho bottom of tho
lake by 'snoods of the Iproper length at
tached to tho line. It takes twenty
boats, with two men in each,lo look after
this big fish line. Each boat has 1,000
hooks in its charge. Tho hooks are
placed eighteen inches apart, and to bait
all tho hooks once requires not less than
1000 pounds of meat. It takes forty men
and twenty boats ten hours to set the
lino for the first time. After that tho
fishermen are constantly employed in
going to and fro over the line, hauling in
tho sturgeon that have been caught on
tho hook, and rebaiting where it is neces
sary. "To haul in a seventy pound sturgeon
from the bottom of the lake is an excit
ing pieco of work, but requires moro
strength than skill, ns the fish nlwnys
has tho hook several inches down his
throat, having sucked bait and nil down
without any regard to consequences.
Thero is no danger of losing the fish un
less the snood of tho hook breaks. When
the fish is hauled to tho surfaco a gaff
like a meat hook is thrust into tho side
of its head and tho sturgeon is drawn
into tho boat and knocked in tho head
with a mallet. Tho hook is cut out of its
throat, rebnited. nnd thrown back into
tho lake.
"Tho average catch or sturgeon is one
to every ten hooks. When n lmt is
loaded with all it will carry of sturgeon,
the fishermen row back to shore, whero
others take the fish and dispose of them.
Tho fishermen know the particular sec
tions of the lino on which they work by
the arrangement of the buoys. Theso
aro placed ten feet apart, and every
fifteenth ono is red. Tho spaco between
the red buoys contains 1000 hooks. Tho
sections are numbered, nnd each boat has
its number corresponding with tho sec
tion it fishes. Whilo tho average catch
is ono sturgeon to ten hooks, it is no un
common thing for tho fishermen to find
but one or two to an entiro section of
1000 hooks.
"The liako Winnebago sturgeon is
highly prized among the lumbermen and
others m the region. Its flesh is finer
and of better flavor than tho saltwater
sturgeon's. Tho iish sell for six cents a
pound nt retail. Large quantities are
salted and smoked for aso in the lumber
camps."
