The runner for a sailing boarding -kese came on board and began conversation with a seaman who had previously promised to desert the vessel. The sailor was not inclined to fulfill his promise, and some hot words were used. Both men went down in the forecastle where a fight ensued and Jack was worsted, be ing struck about the head and stunned. The "sailor grabber" then carried his victim to the deck and threw him over bag and baggage into a small boat moored alongside tho vessel, and made for'the shore. Nothing further has been heard In the matter. About a year ago the sailor fell down n steamer's hold while off the coast of Africa, and is not supposed to be in his right mind. News.

'KLK(T OF l.MMKXSK XiTl'KlL WKtl.TH. Ronrrs of Enaraont Value Which Inalt IHTfloprarBt, In a few weeks will begin the annual catch of Columbia river salmon. It is a business that lies at the basis of our pros perity here in Astoria, and, at present, when the outlook for the salmon season is the reverse of encouraging, business of all kinds is correspondingly depressed. Every year comes to Astoria a crop that needs but the harvesting; without plowing or seeding or cultivating, the strip of water in front of our doors yields from 2,000,000 to $3,000,000. no" area of its s?z9 in the world being more productiva; Wj$n Bryant wrote his ''Thanatopais, he said: "All that tread the globe are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom." So it may be said that the fish that come in to the Columbia river are but the merest fringe, the scantiest ravelings of that great mantle of finny life that covers the waters of the ocean that tosse3 to the west. At our city's gates lie inexhaustible treasures; sources of Wealth surer and better tbnn any gold or silver mine that was ever opened. We refer to the great fishing possibilities of this northwest coast. At intervals efforts have been made in a small way to demonstrate this by men who are possessed of the idea that ihe business justifies development. Dr. A. C. Kinney, the Deep Sea Fishing Co., and others, have experimented, but from tuo appliances to band, the experiments were necessarily neither thorough nor satisfactory. It would seem as tnougn it were time for a fish commissioner for the North Pa cific coast to bo appointed who would look into the matter, examine and report and brine to public notice the great sources of wealth in this line that exist in adjacent waters. The explorations wnicu nave been made on the Atlantic seaboard bv the aid of liberal grants from cougres3 have been the means of adding millions to the wealth of eastern cities and of providing work for hundreds of thousands of peo ple, What is already known of the re sources of the waters of the northwest Pacific coast makes it certain that an ap propriation from congress would produce results quite as satisfactory, it not more so, than those obtained in thejeast. It being known for certain that fishing grounds of vast extent exist all along tho northwest Pacific coast, they should bo examined and reported on at the expense of tho government. The only official sur veys made hitherto are those by Captain Bichards, royal navy, in her majesty's ships Plumper and Hecate between 1S58 and 18(54. The3e surveys were limited to the western coasts of Vancouver island and the Queen Charlotte group. But while the inner shores of these have been sufficiently well defined for commercial purposes the outer coast from Alaska to the Columbia river and south of Astoria ho s never been properly explored. Up to the present time the northwest Pacific coast has been represented in the markets of the world by salmon only, and then almost exclusively by river caught fish. Of the various kinds of salmon found on the coast the spring salmon of the Columbia river, oncorhyn chos quinnat, is admitted to be the finest in size, flavor nnd'richness. In the Que naiult river, W. T., is found a very fine variety, the oncorhynclios keta, delicious in flavor, and by some considered to rival the Columbia river fish. It is, however, considerably smaller, seldom exceeding fifteen to eighteen inches in length and four or five pounds in weight. This fish is abundant in tho sound and can bo caught in great quantities at Neah bay. It is a fact worthy of note that salmon fishing can be carried on all the year round in the deep waters of the sound, particularly at the entrance of Port Townsend bay and Admiralty inlet. Theruost important of the fish which swarm in these waters, and which may be truly said to represent, as Johnson said of Mr. Thrale's brewing vats, a po tentiality of riches beyond the dreamB of avarice, aro the halibut, cod of numerous kinds, tne smelt and tue Herring, besides mollusc?, including the oyster, clam and trepong, oz beche-dc-iner. The Pacific cod has given rise to a good deal of difference of opinion on more than one point. For instance, it was maintained by many that it was identical with the eastern, but recent investigations have proved that tuts is not tue case. 11 is also gen erally asserted that, when salted, the western cod is greatly inferior to the eastern, the flesh being hard and tough, There seems reason to believe, however, that this is due to tho fact that the salt in which the fish are prepared that man ufactured on the Pacific coast contains a considerable quantity of limo. It is also suggested by Sound fishermen that the hardening of tne flesh is to be accounted for in somo measure bv the fact that a long tim6 elapses between the catching of the nsu and tue curing oi tnem at san Fran cisco. They are taken in the Okhotsk sea,- and in the vicinity of tho Schou- magin island, Alaska, where the fishing vessels remain several months. Then comes the voyage to San Francisco, where the fish are often allowed to remain sev eral weeks on board before being dried. That the long period elapsing between the catching and the curing of the fish, end the fact of their being dried in the arid climate of San Francisco does spoil the fish, Is made clear by the statement of a gentleman who is recognized as an authority on all matters connected with fish, that he has tasted cod taken at Neah bay and Port Angeloa, W. T cured as soon as caught, and that they were excellent. The same authority also states that he has eaten cod caught and cured at Masset, Queen Charlotte's is lands, which were in every respect equal to the eastern fish. These fish, he adds, were cured with Liverpool salt. There seems no reason, therefore, why Pacific cod should not compete on equal footing with that from the Atlantic. But it i3 urged that cod taken off the Alaska coast could, not be cured on tne spot, tne climate of Alaska being considered too humid for the purpose. Even should this be so it has not been demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that the climate of Astoria is not adapted for fish curing. This place has ths advan tage of being several hundred miles near er than San Francisco to the fishing banks. Before quitting the subject of the cod proper, it may be added that there seems to bo no difference in the aualitv of the oil yielded by the eastern and the western fish, and the quantity is comparatively the same, although not actually so, the livers of the cod on this coast being very small. Besides the true cod many other varie ties swarm in Paget sound. Those wor thy of special notice as food fish are the green, the black and the rock cod. The green cod ranges from ten to. twenty-five founds in weight and is rich in flavor, t bears considerable resemblance to the true cod, and is sold as such by dealers in Victoria and elsewhere. Although good eating, it assumes when dried or salted a rusly appearance, which detracts from its market value. It is. however, well worth the catching. This article is taken and adapted from one in BradstreeCs of March 7th and is designed to aid the idea intended by the author viz: the hastening of tho time when the attention of the government will bo directed to this important matter. Of all the fishes of the northwest Pa cific coast none seem likely to provo more remunerative than the black cod, anoplopma fimbria, so named by Pro fessor Tarleton H. Bean, to whom speci mens were sent in 1878. Tho late Alex ander C. Anderson, of Victoria, fisheries inspector for British Columbia, in a report to tho minister of marine and fisheries, said, that from tho firmness and richness of its flesh-, it will bear salt ing equally well with tho salmon, and adds: "I do not question that, with time, this fish will prove, with the aid of proper vessels and tne needful appliances, a valuable adjunct to the resources of the provincial waters, either as a market fish, or certainly for the extraction of oil." Black cod were first put on the market in the fall of 1833. They were caught at Queen Charlotte's islands, salted and sent to Victoria, where pood judges declared them to be the finest they had ever 'tasted. Some were also sent to the United .States fish commis sioner at Washington, s6me to the Bos ton fish bureau and others to New York dealers. The opinion, in these quarters was the same as that expressed at Victo ria. Black cod is among large fish what the sardine is among small. No sys tematic fihorv for them has yet been established. Black coda rb plentiful off tho northwest coast and Paget sound. "Whoever may be the enterprising man," says the gentleman who drew attention to them, as detailed above, "to suggest a successful method of capturing them, so as to put them on the eastern market in quantities, will have struck a bonanza better than a gold mine." For small boats the be3t fishing season is during July and August, but with smacks of from thirty to forty tons fishing could be carried on all the year round. Twenty-seven varieties of tho rock cod are found inj Paget sound. The largest is the rough red rock cod, which not in frequently attains a weight of twenty-five pounds. At Capo Flattery and the en trance to Fuca strait it can be taken in vast quantities. Salted it is excellent, equal in flavor to tho ordinary pickled cod, but, as in the case of the green cod, its appearance is somewhat against it. The western and the eastern halibut are identical. This fish is found in pro fusion along tho whole coast of Alaska and British Columbia and as far as Cape Flattery. The chief fishing ground is off the entrance to the strait of Fuca. No determined attempt to introduce the hali but of this coast as a staple article of commerce has yet been made. In 1870, the Emily Stevens schooner caught a car go, but since then the fishing has been confined to the Indians at Capo Flattery.' The operations'of tho Indians are greatly limited; as with their slightly-built open canoes they can only fish when weather and tide aro favorable. Large, decked vessels could ride out the storms at an chor, and would have no need to await a favorable condition of the tide. Although nots equal to salt cod, halibut freshened and slightly smoked is esteemed a deli cacy. It can scarcely fail to be of solid commercial value, as smoked halibut commands a large sale in eastern mur kets, immenso quantities being consumed in eastern and interior cities. The sup ply of halibut on this coast is practically inexhaustible. At present the market is confined to a summer trade on the Co lumbia and the sound, and even this limited business is exceedingly profitable. Apart from the trade in the fresh fish shipped in ice, a canning industry might easily be built up. The halibut is a dry fish, but a little olive oil in each can would obviate this. Canneries at Astoria hav ing unlimited supplies of tho fish close to ' hand, might do a vast business and create ! an industry nearly as great as that of salmon canning. . Another fish of which there is an inex-1 haustible supply is the smelt. Thous- andsof bushels are annually taken by the Quilleute Indians at Quilleute, south of Cape Flattery. Some idea of the mag-1 SS ftSh'SELSTSkKT g the proceedings of the United States na-1 tioual museum that Captain Carroll, of the steamer Alexander Duncan, reported J that while on a voyage from Astoria to Neah bay. in 1870, he ran through one of the schools between Point .Gienville and Quilleute, extending nearly forty miles. The herring, pointed trout, kelp fish, flounder and skate are well represented. The herring is valuable not only as a food fish, but for the oil which is extract ed from it and tho guano which is pre pared from the refuse. Oysters and clams are found in great quantities in the bays and narrow inlets, and there is no end of scollops and mussels. Tho oyBiersof Shoalwater bay and Olympia have been well .known for manv years. They are very small, however. But as it is found that eastern oysters thrive and grow fat in these waters oyster culti vation is profitable on Shoalwater bay. Lobsters also would probably do well. They have been introduced on the California coasts with very good results. There is every variety of fish from a shrimp to a halibut to be found on the coast and in the rivers of this section and it is time that a government commis sioner was sent out here to examine and make an elaborate report.

Fair one, in whoso eyes the light of hopo and youth and joy I see. you ask what I think of female suffrage, and you desire to know how it works m the far west where it has been tried. I answer that it works all right enough, but it doesn't tear up the political greensward and purify the ballot as you might think it would. If yon will cbuie here, how ever, and sit near me, niul look up into my deep, earnest, violet eyes, while the other people are engaged in discussing our young man and our boy. while the great world, too, has itseyebn everything else except the gentle gazelle with the tall pointed bat who is to be the mother of future congressmen, it will be a good time for me to buzz in your pinkest ear. Female suffrage isn't what we need to raise the price of wheat so much as some other things. In this land nf the brave and home of the free, me own native land, if yon plea. each mine represents the labors, the triaW and victories of a lifetime. America permits every child born under the star spangled banner long may it wave to begin the work of making him self or herself, ns the case may be, some thing or nothing. Is it not true, Ethel? Blood and lineage high don't count much fiere, Ethel. I'd rather have good, vigor ous plebian blood in America. Ethel, than to have royal blood with trichimea in it. With a pure heart and a liver tlut will not shirk any responsibility, we may ac complish much. So it is hot, after all, the pedigree or the prerogative which is to make Home howl, fair maid. There are men in this great land, Ethel, who swing their hats and howl and get drunk, and vote, who do not know so much all their lives as you forget when you are asleep. So it's not n question, of qualification, you see, but let us step into the conservatory a moment while I murmur into your ear a thought which came to me several years ago. Which would you prefer, Ethel, to run the gov ernment, or to run the man who runs the government? I see by the tell-tale color that comes and goes in your cheek, and by the man ner in which yon struggle to swallow your fan, that you twig. Mind you, I do not say that the object of a joyous being like yourself should be to marry a man and run him; but I say this without fear of successful contra diction, that the overwhelming percent age of my own sex enters the marriage state during life. Continuing the argu ment from this premise, 1 am led to say, and still without fear of successful con tradiction, that in each case where I have looked up the data, I have found that these men have married one of your sex. This leuds me to say that while mar riage may not be an object toward which we should struggle, it is a condition of things which is certainly nlarmingly prevalent.

In Washington territory it is known as mountain trout when taken in rivers and brook, and salmon trout when ta ken iu the sea or river mouths. Sea-run specimens are more silvery, with finer spots and lew red than those taken in the small streams, and larger individuals are sometimes taken in the sea than are often seen in the river. There is not the slightest doubt that the so-called salmon trout of the fish dealers, nnd the mountain trout of the sportsmen are one and the same fish, the only differences being temporary, de pendent on the water and possibly on the food. I have myself caught hun dreds of these same trout with the seina about Tacoma, in the sea the locality from which this specimen wa3 obtained. This species may always be known when fresh by a deep scarlet or crimson blotch on the membranes of the lower side of the lower jaw. The fish is, therefore, both a mountain trout and salmon trout, as the names are understood in Washington territory and Oregon. If the laws permit the killing of one and prohibit the kiling of the other, the only test is whether caught in salt or fresh water Very truly yours, D wiD S. Jordan.
