To report his lecturo would bo like an attempt to compress Mt Hood into a nutshell. Hi3 theme was "Universal Human Liberty," a great subject to which he did fnll justice. He is a- strong, for cible speaker, of pleasing presence, flu- ent language and expressive delivery. Ho made' many telling points, which we're heartily applauded. One quo tation will give an illustration of his style.- Of the difference between Uni versalists and Unitarians he said: "A Univeraalist believed God was too good .to damn man; a Unitarian be lieved, man was too good to be damned." In a peroration of great merit he made an earnest plea for the ; freedom of human thought and urged the organization of a branch of the American Socular Union to aid in the accomplishment of this task.

A DIMINISHING INDUSTET. Decrease of Sacramento's Salmon Oatch. Some Remedies for the Evils Proposed. S. F. Bulletin 19. A gentleman who has given much at tention to tho subject, and who has taken great interest in the propagation of fish in this state. BDeaks as follows concern ing tho rapid decrease in tho product of me saimon nsnenes in this state: and kindred industries of California have made steady growth, a minor, but impor tant interest in the prosperity of the stato has steadily decreased, until now it is said to be on the verge of abandon ment. This is the salmon-canning in dustry, the principal source being the Sacramento river, where the eaten for the last fire years hag lessened until the business is conducted at a positive los3 to the few firms still engaged in it. Up to 1883 the catch of salmon in this river was abundant and the canned product was to be found in most parts of Europe as well as the United States. Now the brands of Sacramento canned salmon are noted for their scarcity and there is the prospect of their extinction in the near future. "On examination there seems to be no good reason why salmon-canning on the Sacramento river should cease; in fact, there is every prospect that it would re gain its former prosperity if vigorous efforts are made to produce that result. The natural conditions of the lower or main river are the same as they havo been in the past; in fact, one evil, the discoloration of the water by mining de bris, is about ended. The tributaries, viz., the Upper Sacramento, Pitt and McCloud rivers, have the same advant ages ior spawning nsu, aa iiiey uave uuu heretofore. It needs only energetic and continued efforts against unlawful prac tices and restocking with young fish to increase the catch of salmon to at least its original numbers. If proper efforts are made to prevent the destruction of young fish by tho Chinese in tho waters of San Pablo and Suisun Bays and the sloughs on the main or lower river, and to prevent sawdust and other injurious matter destroying the spawning grounds in the tributaries, there is no good reason why, with annual restocking, the salmon canning industry will not resume its former importance on the Sacramento in the near future. "The late B. B. Redding, fish commis sioner, just before his death in 1882, had in contemplation increasing the stocking of the tributaries of the Sacramento river far beyond that of former years. He claimed there was no limit to increasing the number of young fish except that of the supplies of food to be found in the tributary streams where they were to grow until ready to migrate to sea say one year after hatching. As after that time they found their food in salt water there would be no demand on the rivers the salmon ascended to fpawn. To uso his own words, he 'intended to stock the Sacramento river with young fish so that adult salmon returning to spawn should crowd the lower river so that vessels could hardly pass through them.' His intentions were to make the Sacramento like the Frazer and other rivers in British Columbia, where the annual migration of salmon made tho water at times seem solid with fish. Siace Mr. Bedding's death there haTe been no young salmon artificially hatched out and placed in the Sacramento, and from the young fish be ing taken in millions by the Chinese fish men in illegal nets, the depredations of the seals on adult nsn and tne eaten tor human food, the number of fish taken for canning purposes has dwindled to about one-fifth ox what it was in 1882. "A comparison of the catches made or rather canned for the past five years will be instructive; also the prices paid for same capital invested in the industry and employment given to those engaged in the boats, taking the fish an the Sacra mento .river: In 1882 there was canned 200,337 cases of 4 dozen 1-pound cans; in 1883. 150,400 cases; in 18&. 81,450 cases; m 1WS5, 44,4UU cases, and in itfG, 3b,5U0 coses. The catch of the present year is not yet over, but the indications are that it will be less than that of 18SG. The value -of thecinned salmon based upon an average of L50 per case was, in 1882, S901.51G: in 1883, S67G.800: in 1884. $369.- 525; in 1835, $199,800 and in 18S6, $164-, 250. In 1882 there were ten canneries putting up salmon, with an investment of $1,000,000 capital, employing in the season 1.500 boats manned bv 4.000 men. In addition to the fishermen there were about one thousand persons employed in the canneries, beside those engaged in the transportation of product and ma terials for boxes. Aside from the salmon canned large quantities were salted and smoked as well as a larger and cheaper supply for local purposes than there is at present. "To permit the salmon-canning indus try of the Sacramento river to perish un der the circumstances as above stated, by negleoting measures to insuro its con tinuance, is not only a blot upon the in telligence of our people but is a crime whose influence will extend to future generations. Here is an industry that has given employment to thousands of people, investment of capital, and in the opinion of competent judges could be in creased many fold, going to destruction. All enforcement of the law against tak ing immature fish by Chinese fishermen and other offenders would do much to remedy the evil. Add to this a liberal restocking the river with young fish by the fish commissioners, and in not longer than four years hence salmon-canning should again resume its former value. The salmon canning industry on the Co lumbia has steadily declined of late years, and as that river and its main tributary forms the boundary line be tween Oregon and Washington and Idaho Territories a concurrence of the legisla tures of all three will be required before its waters can be efficiently protected. The fishing interests of each being dif ferent as to season, it is not probable any joint measures for the protection and increase of salmon will be taken. The Sacramento river being entirely with in tho boundaries of this state its laws for the protection of salmon can and should be enforced so as to insure a con tinuance if not increase of the annual catch."
