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

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

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. Very respectfully,
Stivestkr Peknoiks.
