CHA3IPIOXS THE FALL PACE.
4,A Daniel Come to Judgment" In "H. O. T."
Some great man has said that "the
longer you live the more you find
out." Such, doubtless, will be the
experience of Columbia river salmon
canners when they learn that they
don't know anything about their bus
mess, and after laboring, some of
them for a quarter of a century, at
putting up canned salmon, they are
as badly mistaken as the man that
would eat tho peach stone and
the peach away..
Here they have been, lo these many
years, packing spring salmon in pref
erence to other grades and varieties,
and now comes the Herald of Trad,
and in its issue of the 12th inst., cru
elly reveals how mistaken all thi in.
The argument, if argument it may
be called, of our San Franohcu cou
temporary, is that fall salmon is
better than spring "Balmon. It starts
out by saying that it is "not so foolish
as to claim that the fish caught and
paked after August 1st of each year
are not equal to the fish caught and
paoked in April, May, June or July."
This would indeed be great follv on
the part of the H. Ot T.t bnt it is just
what everyone who knows auy thing
at all about salmon does claim.
Further on our sapient San Fran
cisco salmon sharp says that it doesn't
do to can "the choicest parts of the
table salmon," and that the salmon
caught at tho mouth of the river are
not so desirable for cannera as when
they have passed up the river say u
hundred miles or so. This is deoid
edlyrich. Most men think that the
sooner a salmou is caught after com
ing injCrom the sea, in tho spring and
summer, the finer it is. and the better
it will bo for canning." But from our
San Francisco friend's superior stand
point we can all clearly see how mis
taken we all have been.
It is, of course plain to the dullest
intellect that the proper course to
pursue is to refuse to catch or oan
those nasty plump salmon that come
iu in May, Juno and July, and wait
for a bonier breed, the salmon that
can be found up near the headwaters
in the leafy month of September.
Indeed the best thing to do is to move
all the canneries from Astoria and
the lower Columbia a couple of hun
dred miles up stream. Still, it is pos
sible, that the canners will refuse
with strange perverseness to see the
error of their ways, and will go right
on in their blindness canning spring
salmon caught at the mouth of the
river, and claiming its superiority to
the fall fun.
Poor, genial John T. Raymond,
now dead and gone, used to say that
H. O. T." meant "high old time."
From the tone of our San Francisco
con temporary '8 leader on tho merits
of fall salmon it looks as though the
San Francisco IT. O. T. wa3 having a

A CHILD'S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze-

Cured by Cuticura.
MY little: son, aged eight years, lias been
afllicted u ltti Eczema ot the scalp, and
at times a great j-ortlon of the body, ever

ears, and extended to his scalp, which be
came covered with .scabs and sores, and
from which a stlCKy fluid poured out, caus
ing intense Itching aud distress, and leaving
his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath
these cabs the skin was raw, like a piece of
beetteav. Gradually the hair came out and
wasdestroved, until out a small patch was
left at the 'back of tho head. My friends
In Teabody know how my Hi tie boy has suf
fered. At night lie would scratch his head
until his pillow was coered with blood. I
used to tlo his hands behind him, and In
many wajs tried to pievent his scratching;
but it was no use, lit: would s r.itcli. I took
him to the hospital and to the best physi

this time, some friends, w ho had been i ured
by the Ci'ticpka Hkmkdics. prevailed up
on me to trv them. I began to use them on

every particle of tne disease was removed.
