Come, and bring your friends. A large, showy salmon label is for warded to The Astoriax from Los Angeles, Cat, with the information .that it is being pasted on a lot of rickety looking boxes in that pleasant city. It purports to be a brand of -"Choice Columbia river salmon, trade mark Seal Rock brand: Seal Rock Packing Co., Astoria, Oregon." This is a new fake. i The Mercury says that "the new manager of the Union Pacific and O. R.&N. systems sees that it won't do to let a big fleet of boats rot to death when they can be rebuilt at 18 per cent, of their original cost, and so he has ordered the Bteamers Wide West, S. G. Reed and Mountain Queen to be overhauled and made good as new." Won't that be nice? The race between the Rambler and Uncle Ed last Sunday afternoon was very prettily sailed. According to the conditions of the race the Uncle Ed was to have three minutes start which is about what it had. The crafts sailed over the course, and the finish was viewed with interest by a large crowd of spectators. The race was won by the Uncle Ed by 5G sec onds, reckoning an even start The San Francisco Herald of Trade, of the 18th inst, says: "The first lot of Alaska salmon has arrived; being 5,000 cases Challenge brand. Upon arrival it was promptly sold by Lowenthall, Livingstone & Co. to Wm. T. Coleman & Co., at $L37 per dozen for the whole block. This lot is being distributed in carload lots to 'different portions of the United States, and was eagerly taken at $1.45 and upwards. A visit to St. Mary's hospital yes terday morning showed the different wards to be in first-class condition. In one was engineer Denley, of Chas. Woods' steamer, whose arm was rid dled with bullets, lately on Miller's Sands. Tbero is a hole right through his arm, through which Dr. Page was polling some cleansing sub stance. The whole building has a neat, clean appearance and is evi dently kept in good condition. The London Grocer of July 30 says: 4The present mouth has wit nessed a large home consumptive de mand for salmon over any month since the opening of the business. This can only be accounted for by the barrenness of the slocks which are held by grocers. Prices continue to harden 23 to 29s per case being now obtained for the best brands of Columbia river, whilst thero is noth ing of ordinary quality under 27s. D. F. Stafford, of Skipanon, has thought out a u ingenious plan by which crosscut saws can be run by a donkey engine or similar power. The saws can be made to undercut or topsaw, or saw a tree at any incline from the perpendicular. The number of saws run would, of course, depend on the power. Thoy can be placed in as many different directions as there are saws. The contrivance i3 simple and inexpensive, and like a good many other clever things the wonder is that someone hasn't thonght of it before. Work on the steamer Umatilla, which is at the Union iron works be ing altered into a passenger ship, is progressing slowly, says the Daily Commercial News, ami it will bo fully three months before she is com pleted. When again ready for ser vice she will be a very fine steamer, and in all respects the peer of any of the passenger steamers running north. The interior finish of the main saloon will be in a variety of handsome woods, and art glass will be used effectively. She will have accommodations for upwards of 200 cabin passengers. A Cannery Destroyed. The. premises of the Seattle Pack ing and Canning Co., two miles below Smith's Cove, near Seattle, were de stroyed by fire last Friday. Messrs. Kirkwood, Nottingham & Wymau, the owners, told a Seattle Post-Inlelligeiux r reperter: "We had a lot of men engaged in tarring nets to preserve them from destruction in the salt water. In this tarring process coal oil and coal tar arc the principal ingredients. It seems that one of these nets which had been soaked in the mixture waB stretched under the building to dry, slats having been nailed on the piles for that purpose, and unfortunately a portion of the net extended under the blacksmith shop. A little spark of fire, orbit of red hot iron, dropped through the floor on to the net, and in an instant the whole placo was in a blaze. We succeeded in saving the piling and some of the caps, though most of our caps are badly damaged. Our boiler was not seriously injured, and the retort can be used, but most of the machinery is a total loss. Fully $5,000 worth -of tin was de stroyed, besides all the other material for cans and cases. We now think that $20,000 will cover our actual loss. Wo had had the placo sur veyed, and everything arranged for insurance when the agent returned on Saturday, but we were a day too late, as we did not have a cent of in surance on the place." Coming to the Columbia River. Sax Fraxoisoo, Aug. 2L A private letter has been received here from Thomas B. Ferguson, acting United States fish commissioner, to the effect that Col. Marshall McDonald is now en route for the Pacific coast for the purpose of making an investigation on the Columbia river, also inspect ing salmon stations on tho McCloud river. McDonald's visit is partly for tho purpose of ascertaining, if possi ble, the cause of the decrease of salm on in tho Pacifie coast rivers. Colo nel McDonald has been connected with the United States fish com mission for some years. Hs is tho inventor of a patent fishway, which is said to bo the best yet in vented for permitting fish to pass up over dams and other obstructions in rivers. In Washington last winter he made several calls on the Oregon congressional delegation, with a view to having his fishway established at the Oregon City falls. 31. E. Church Social.

Loxdox. Aug. 22. T. W. Russell. M. P., who left the liberal unionist part because of the proclamation of the national leagne,has written a letter explaining his resignation. He say3: "I have done my bo3t to persuade the party and the government from pro claiming the league, but have failed.
