Dan Holton, proprietor of the Holton house at Portland, has made an assign ment for the benefit of his creditors, lie owes $21,030. His assets consist mostly of furniture in the Holton house. An automatic whisling buoy has been laid by the lighthouse steamer Mansanila ono and one-half miles west of the outer rock of Blunt's reef, off Capo Mendocino, in twenty-live fathoms of water. IJig shad caught at oar doors continue to show up. Ono was shown yesterday that weighed three and three-quarters pounds, comparing favorably in size, and m flavor too, with the famous Delaware shad. Beforo Justice Goodell yesterday after noon appeared Ah Lin charged with threatening to kill officer Carlsen: after some tremendouB swearing on both sides the matter was taken under advisement till to-day. A fishing party goes to Gray's river on Sunday.

Tho Midlnomah camo down yesterday in command of Capt. Archie Pease with about as big a crowd as the law allows in the shape of a Sunday school excursion. The sun was shining, and to us it ap peared very warm, but tho excursionists, as they swarmed off tho boat, sought tho sunny side of the street and drawing their wraps about them said: "How chil ly it feels." Somo lounged around the lower deok of tho boat and in tho engine room where it felt more natural. In tho U. S. circuit court last Monday Judge Deady decided tho old case in which the government sued Wm. L. Adams, former colloctor of this port, for $12,800 lost in transit to San Francisco nearly twenty years ago. Tho judge held that Mr. Adams was not officially responsible for the loss of tho money, which was stolen from his stateroom, nor were his sureties responsible for hia actions while so engaged a decision which appears to be just.

Hve Prisoner Earned to Death at Baler City. SfKCIAL TO TUB AVTOItlAX.J IUkek Crrr, Oregon, July 28. At an early hour this morning flames were seen issuing from the county jail at this place. Assistance was promptly sup plied, but the jail wan a log structure, verj dry and burned so fast that it waa impossible to check the progress of the flames. Five prisoners confined in the cells met a horrible fate, being burned to death, their crisp and charred remains being recovered after the ruins were a heap of burning embers. Tbe names of the five unfortunate men were John Cooley, Joseph Brown, Wm. Laud, Lewis Miller, and George Plumb. Tho sixth prisoner Fred Wiukelman by name was rescued so badly burned that ho can not possibly survive. Ho is believed to be the one that set tho building on Are to allow himself and his companions to escape. A FOGfiY ITEM. COXXOX COUNCIL PBOCEBDIXUS.

Tho tea will bo oxam- The following is tho latest in the Cali fornia Grocer and Conner, written by "Chinook" from "tho Columbia river.-' The salmon season is rapidly nearing a close, and the "July run" has so far been decidedly small when compared with past seasons. If I recollect aright, it is now fivo years sinco so smpll a number of fish to the boat was caught. Figuring upon tho total pack is tho order of the day. I don't indulge to any oxtont in that amusement. July is full of possi bilities, and tho salmon are under water. Tho packer who has not sold, naturally makes tho output small. Tho reasons adduced, and tho arguments advanced, have all a personal bias; so it is better to await patiently the result especially as the first of August is now so near. Standing in front of tho "Occidental" hotel a few evenings since, I was greatly edified to hear the opinions expressed re garding tho remarks concerning nets, etc., in the letter of tho 25th ultimo. Fishermen said "it was a shame to givo away the business." A prominent can ner, known all over tho world, said that a whole net had been stolen from his net rack a fow days or nights since, but it was recovered, because it had private marks by which it could bo identified. No one said tho reports were untrue. Ona fisherman had been making mental cal culation. Said he: "I think the Sacra mento fellows have always taken away more net than thoy brought with them, but now that fall fishing upon that river is illegal, wo shall perhaps bavo a chance to keen the net3 upon our river." You will ;utiao the high moral tono permeating these remarks. Now, a few words about July fishing. It is true that more than one-third of tho salmon packed upon tho Columbia river is putupduring July. This means a great deal. First Tho canners aro rushed with work during tho time. Second Tho hot weather makes it imperative that fish shall bo cooked every day if fresh salmon aro to bo canned. Third Any delay in cooking is suro to result in soft fish. Fourth Soft fish left over, with which to begin a day's cooking, wil tend to de lay the proper attention to fresh salmon, which, in tho morning, are in fino condi tion. Fifth A delay of a few hours will sometimes result in making the whole cooking for tho day of a quality which should not bo called first-clas3. Sixth A rush of fish will nearly always prevent tho proper washing down, by which tho accumulation of fish slime, etc., may 'bo removed; this accounts for tho lack of neatness so noticeable in many canneries in July. It will readily be admitted that more care is needed" during the hot weather than in tho earlier part of tho season. During July, salmon should bo cooked every day. If a day elapse in which no cooking is done, 'trouble may ensue. Should a run of fish occur tho cannor finds himself unablo to handle all tho salmon which comes in, and, as a result, ho pocks tho oldest fish first, so that by tho time ho completes his work he has been putting up stale fish for a week. But is there a remedy for this? Very surely. If at the beginning of a July' day there is a supply beyond tho full ca pacity of tho cannery, throw overboard all tho old fish. It coats something, but if you don't preserve tho salmon you do keep your reputation. Then profiting by the lesson, refuse- to accept more fish than you can use properly; wash down frequently and let yonr more ambitious neighbors reap tho harvest and cook salmon; "flat, stiilo and unprofitable" though tho harvest Tflay be to them. It is said to require more courago than is possessed by tho averago canner to throw overboard fish which co3t from fifty to seventy-five cents. But it has been done. One canner, who needs no advertising, for which he does not pay, threw overboard in ono season four thou sand cases of cooked salmon, represent ing a valuo to him of $20,000. Ho tested the lot, found they were not up to his standard, and decided that he could not afford to risk his reputation by allowing these salmon to be sold. Ho did not boast of this (ho is not a man given to that), but ho avoided all possibility of a recurrence of this accident. I asked him during a recent conversa tion if ho thought it had paid him. He replied: "That was not the question at all, the fish was not good enough for my own use, so nobody could have it." As a matter of fact ho says tho public will not learn to discriminate, but will frequently .pay good prices for calmon of an inforior quality. But no says, ana i agree wiiu him, that a reputation gained by a life time of honest dealing must havo its weight, and he is willing to abido the is sue, and provide an article of food, cheap, economical wholesome and of, first quahtv.

Chinese astronomers aro prophesying that a new dynasty will soon be formed, and as tho new emperor is conducted to his royal palace he will pro claim that all Chinamen shall be liber ated from the obligation of wearing tho burdensome queue. Many Chinamen aro indifferent, but the more intelligent aro very anxious Inat the desired change should come quickly. They count their ages by birthdays instead of tho actual years. So a Chinaman is ono year old at his birth, and is considered two years old at tho commencement of the second year. Sea tile Post-In tclligen ccr. Sii.E PEREMPTORY! Messrs. A. Booth and J. J.
