THE SALMON' SEASON THUS FAR.
Very Small Catch on the Lower Columbia.
A visit to the different Astoria can
neries shows that this is a period of
enforced dullness, and from reports
received from outside canneries up
the river, the same condition of affairs
exists in every cannery on the lower
Columbia. There are few fish, the
cannery employes are working some
of them not half the time, and very
little salmon is being put up. Well
informed canners estimate the pack
on the river up to the first inst.,
from 175,000 to 210,000 cases: proba
bly 200,000 cases would bo a fair es
timate of the total salmon paok on
the Columbia river from April 1st to
July 1st this year. Usually there is
a May run, a June run, and a July
run. As for the April ran it is a thing
of the past Time was when boats
in April caught some salmon; that
time is gone by, apparently never to
.return. This year the usual May
run didn't appear, and the June run
was also absent For the last ten
years the river has usually been full
of fish from the Fourth of July as
long as the canneries wanted to run.
Tti '83. thev hpemn rnrrnnc in in irrpftt
numbers on the second, the day of
the big fire, and swarmed up the
stream through the remainder of the
month. In '84, they were a little
later; iu '85, salmon were plenty after
the 8th; in '86. they were in profusion
from the 10th onwards. They are
looked for daily, and the probabilities
favor a big run of fish any day now.
Whenever the salmon come in they
will be packed. The canneries are
all well equipped with men and ma
terial, and should occasion offer,
from 15,000 to 18,000 cases a day
could bo packed on the river. The
volume of the pack of '87 depends in
n greater degree than ever before on
the July run, as the total pack to
date is away behind that of former
years. In every cannery groups of
disconsolate Chinamen are standing
around, viewing with hungry eyes the
FEW SALMON TOSSED ON THE DOCK
From the boat that was so fortunate
the night before as to catch eight or
ten. A3 the Chinamen work by the
case, their daily wages are small
when there i3 only three or four
hours' work for them in a day. The
fishermen are practically earning
nothing. At one of tho best canner
ies on tho river, rated for its skillful
fishermen, "high boat" for tho entire
season is only 830. At another the
lists show "high boat" for the season
to tho 1st inst. to be 851. When it
is remembered that iu former years
the average catch to the
boat for the season was 3,800,
and that some boats were
credited with 8,000, 9,000 and even
10,000 fish for the season's work, it
will be seen how the run has dimin
ished. Tho number of boats, has, of
course, a great deal to do with it In
1876, there were about 500 boats fish
ing on tho Columbia; to-day there are
almost three times that number.
Then a fisherman laying out say op
posite Rainier, could count on seventy-five
fish. Now he could have a
clear river with no other boat in sight
of him a great deal farther down, and
consider himself in big luck if he
caught six. Tally lists seen yester
day of boats that daily drift near tho
mouth of the river run 12,4, 13, 21, 0,
8, G, 4, 5, 17, 38, 3, G, 11, etc, a very
small average.
It is noticeable that the size and
quality of the salmon caught, is, if
anything, improved. There is no
salmon that can approach in valne or j
can equal the flavor or
THE COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON.
This year canners all remark the
superior quality of the salmon caught
even over that of former years. Some
of the cannerymeu are putting up for
the choice markets in the most at
tractive shapes this unequaled food
fish and say, and rightly, too, that
apart from the amount, it is now
more a matter of quality than quan
tity, and that Columbia river salmon
by reason of its inherent excellence
will always sell in appreciative mar
kets for far more than any other
salmon in existence. This applies to
salmon caught in the season, late
fall salmon, while good of its kind,
being confessedly inferior in flavor to
the spring catch.
It is probable that more salmon
has been sold to deliver than will be
packed this season. The cannery is
an exception that has not sold a very
large percentage of its probable pack;
if the salmon is not packed it, of
course, cannot be delivered; the con
tract can only call for what that can
nery packed. If a cannery has sold
20,030 cases, to bo delivered f. o. b.,
and only packs 16,030 cases, that is
all that can be called for under the
contract And yet it is not improb
able that there will be a little canned
salmon on the river at the close of
the season, as some of the canneries
have not sold to the limit cf their
probable pack even in the event of a
very short pack, which some of -the
best informed now think is inevit
able.
Yery little is going to England,
and the contrasts between the meager
English shipments of '87 and those of
former years is noticeable. The
Warwick Castle and the Qlenacon,
now loading at the O. R. & N. dock,
will take about eighty thousand
cases; the Villalta, which began dis
charging ballast yesterday morning,
will take 40,030 cases to London, the
YarKand, now on the way, will prob
ably load "30,000 cases, which will
make about 150.CD0 case3 that will go
to England direct from the Columbia
this season. In the meantime eastern
shipments from here to all parts
of the "Union go forward at the rate
of six and eight carloads a day, and
the market and demand is constantly
widening. Our American cousins in
the east and south appreciate a good
thing, and are willing to pay for it.
It is thought that every can packed
on the river in '87 could be placed in
this country.
The closing of the season in lor
mer years on August 1st has helped
to perpetuate the May and June runs.
The season of the fish coming into
the river to spawn seems to grow
later every year. There is not any
thing like the number of fish there
used to be: this year the traps are
getting no fish, the fishermen have
scarcely any catch to speak of as com
pared with former years, the seines
are doing very little, and the canner
ies are to-day idle two-thirds of tho
time in what has usually been tho
busiest part of the season. The fish
wheels on the upper river are scoop
ing up big ana little, "raking the
river with a fine tooth comb."
In Brief, And to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is n foo
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cootery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular naDits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August . Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

The Fourth at Knnppn.
Knappa, July 7, '87.
Editor Asteriak:
The Fourth passed off nicely in this
vicinity, everyone reporting "Such a
nice time." The weather behaved
unusually well. Several neighbor
hood picnics and parties were in
dulged in. Over one hundred wit

the evening which, though not so
pretentions as Portland or Astoria,
were a fino display. Afterwards
dancing at the hall was in order, and
although the attractions at Portland
and Astoria had drawn largely on our
numbers, there was a good attend
