U) She gattjj storfau. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24. I67 The valuation, of fish imported at all tlie ports in the United States from January 1 to October 1, 1887, duty free, was 1,059,290; 188G, S890, 555. The bcarcity of water in western Ohio and eastern Indiana is becoming a seriou3 matter. Very many mills have had to stop; cattle are actually suffering for drink, village wells are dry and typhoid and other fevera are appearing. The end of the Montana Central is to Helena, and trains are running to the capital from St Paul over that road and the Manitoba. The com pletion of the road gives Helena an other through line to the east, and the event has been celebrated by a popular demonstration. When the Montana Central rail road, which connects with the Mani toba at Great Falls, 100 miles from Helena, M. T., was ready for the rails, application was made to the Northern Pacific for a rate on rails. Thirty-five dollars per ton was the tariff asked. An offer of $20 was made, but refused. Then president Hill said he would build the Manitoba and ship his own rails. This he has done. The road is completed. The Northern Pacific has a rival it had not counted on and it has lost $200,000 in freights it could have put in its coffers. Tiie Thanksgiving proclamation of Governor Lounsbury of Connecticut is one of the most remarkable produc tions of its kind on record. It opens as follews: ''There is now no special reason for thanks more than that which has marked the years that are gone; but of all of Heaven's gifts to men, life's common blessings are al ways the sweetest and the best, and so in accordance with a custom that is hallowed by all the ties that bind us to the past and which reaches on to the future in universal expectation, I hereby appoint," ete. "We have seen Governor Gordon kiss five hundred ladie3 in one day," says the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution. On one occasion they came" at him in procession, and we noticed with what precision his disoerning eye picked out those who should be kissed for their own sake and those who should he kissed from a party standpoint Never did we admire the great man more than as we observed that he took two bites at a cherry when a cherry was offered, and reduced the average down by taking less than half a bite at an apple when the apple was with ered or wrinkled. The ladies always loved and admired the gallant Gor don, and with reason." PERISHED IN THE FLAMES. Yesterday morning about two o'c.ock, Patrick Clancy and wife were burned to death in their dwelling at the edge of Vancouver military res ervation. The guard at the battery atables discovered the fire. He gave the alarm and the soldiers fire brigade turned out quickly and went to the scene, but the flames had spread bo rapidly that no one could enter the house. A young lad, aged 10, the son of the unfortunate father and mother, had been awakened by the crackling of the flames and had just succeeded in getting out of the house alive. He said the flames were burning fiercely in his parents' bedroom when he awakened to his danger. He thought they must have escaped. This was the impression of all on the outside, for the guard who first discovered the fire said that Mrs. Clancy came running out in her nightdress, and then ran back into the house, shriek- j ing that her husband was still in there j and she must go to save him. No one made an effort to go into the house, for all supposed the man and woman had gone out of a back door andfoiken refuge in some of the neighboring houses or barns on ac count of being en dishabille. It was not until after a search by the son for his parents to take them to a place of shelther that the conclusion was reached they had perished in I he flames. Even before the fire had burned out the bodies were discovered burn ing in the ruins, a sickening sight. Mr. Clancy's body was the nearest the front door, in fact, not more than air feet from it, while his wife's was nearly in tho bedroom where both had been sleeping. It is evident that after his wife had rushed out of doors the old man attempted to follow her, but had been overcome by the smoke just before reaching the open air. Mrs. Clancy had then rushed back to the bedroom to rouse her husband, not noticing his body in the hall as ahe passed, and a moment later she, too, had been overpowered by the deadly smoke. Clancy was recently placed on the retired liBt of the army after thirty years continuous service, being re tired with the rank of sergeant He and his wife kept a sort of restaurant for soldiers and Mrs. Clancy did washing for the garrison. They had three children Joe, the lad who escaped from the flames; an elder eon. Jack, aged 20, who is also a soldier, and a daughter who is the wife of orderly sergeant Sutherland, now stationed at Fort Canby. Ore gonwn, 3, THE FISH HATCHERY. Gov. Pemioyer Makes a Feiv Rpninrki of a Fracticnl Nature. Tho following is n copy of n letter mailed by Gov. Pennover to Senator Dolph, and inblisbcd in yesterday's Oregonian. Salem. Or., Nov. 21, 1S87. Hon. J. 2f. Dolph, "Washington, D. C Dear Sir: In reply to your letter stating that the U. S. fish commission desire to locate a hatchery on the Clackamas river, and requesting that tho state now occupying the point desired by the fed eral fish commission on such river should accedo to the wishes of such commission, I have to say that as Ixy virtue of an act passed by tho legislative assembly of the State of Oreoon. nrmroved Fehninrv 18. 1887, the president of the Oregon Fish vommiasioii is auinonzea to select ana purchase suitable land, build, operate and manage thereon a fish hatchery on the Columbia river or its tributaries,'1 he, instead of myself, is the proper party with whom to confer in regard to the matter. Bat, inasmuch as my attention has been directed to this matter by your letter, as well as those from U. S. Com missioner Goode therein enclosed, and as I, together with every other citizen of Oregon, am interested in this matter, permit me to say that, in my judgment the site referred to on the Clackamas is one entirely unfit to be chosen either by the state or the D. S. commission for a hatchery, for the reason that at the very season of the j-enr when the Chinook salmon run in the Columbia (in Slav, June, July and the early part of Augnst) the Willamette river between the Colum bia and the mouth of the Clackaman, a distance of twenty miles, is backed up by the Columbia and has no current what ever, and is therefore avoided by the salmon. It is a well-known fact that no Chinook are caught in the "Willamette during its back water period. The Chi nook proper would not therefore reach the Clackamas hatchery except for a short period in early sprinc, at a time when the current of ttie Willamette is stronger than the current in the Colum bia. In the fall of the year, after back water, salmon pgain ascend tho "Willam ette in small shoals, but they aro mostly dog salmon, the propaeation of which would be a curse instead of a blessing to the people of this state. It is a well known fact among experienced fishermen that the Chinook salmon come in the Columbia river in the spring of the year, and stemming its current, force their way to the small streams emptying into its upper waters where they deposit their spawn. On the contrary, the dog salmon, totally unfit for food, come into tho river in the fall of tho year and turn into the nearest tributary streams tho Cowlitz, Lewis, "Willamette and Clackamas, beinu unable in their weakly condition to as cend the Columbia much farther. For this reason a hatchery on the Clackamas is not at all desirable, and there is no doubt in my mind that tho fish which will be turned into the river this year, if any reach tho ocean, will be a detriment to the fishing interests of this state, as they will be from the spawn of the in ASSISTED BT THE KOTEI) AMERICA ACTOR, EJ MR.

A Perfect: System of DBKgti FITTING. ferior kinds of salmon, and not tho Chi nook proper. Again, it is doubtful if the fish put out at the Clackamas hatchery ever reach the ocean. The salmon, left to follow the dictates of its wise instincts, ascends the river as far as possible and deposit? its spawn in gravelly beds, in which gravel the young fish can hide from their many foes whilo wending their way to the Kea. The young salmon batched on the Clacka mas, on the contrary, will soon find them selves in the Willamette river, with a sandy instead of a gravelly bed, and without hiding places will become a prey to the vast hordes of scavenger fish which infect its waters, and therefore- have scarcely a living chance to reach tho ocean. If lam permitted, I would suggest that tho most suitable placo for a hatchery would be on somo small, clear stream which puts into the lower Columbia, where a dam could be made in which the choicest Chinook caught during each month of spring and early summer could be turned, and from which, when ripe, the spawn could be secured and batched, and at the proper period transported to and turned loose in the upper waters of the Columbia. I trust 30a will also join me in protesting to Commissioner Goode against getting any supply of salmon eggs for the Columbia river from the station on the SIcClond river, California. The Columbia is the home of the Chinook salmon, and it alone, of all varieties, should be propagated in it3 waters. The people of Oregon and Washington terri tory nro all interested in such propaea tion, and as the hatchery provided by the wisdom of the Almighty is far superior to any that can be established, eitber by the state or the Federal fish commissior, it would be proper that congress should provide by law that the canneries on either shoro of the interstate Columbia shall not take salmon from such river I until tho 1st of June, which will allow the royal mineou to ascend its waters when its tributaries are swollen with the spring freshets, thus enabling them to reach those haunts for spawning, to wards which a wise providence has di rected their instincts, and that they shall closo operation by tho 1st of October, thus preventing them from canning dog salmon, as some of them hive sbame'ess ly been doing this season, a fish totally unfit for food, aud and the canning of which should be prevented by law. Congress ought also to prohibit by law the erection of nsu. traps on eitber shore of the Columbia, thus preventing anv un desirable change or obstruction in its channel, and also oupht to prohibit, at all seasons, the operation of tbonumer ous fish wheels.
