Says the Seattle Press of the 24th:
Several races bid fair to grow out of
the late tournament at Tacoina. Yes
terday Capt L H. Albertson, of the
Seattle hose team received a chal

150 yards fof 81,000. This challenge
the boys will not accept, the distance
being too short, but a counter chal
lenge will be sent the Astorians to
run 300 yards for 1,000 the race to
take place in Seattle at any time the
Astorians may select
The signal service has under consid
eration the adoption of a new signal
to take the place of the cautionary sig
nal now in use along the coasts. It is
a yellow pennant and is .intended to
signify that the service has informa
tion of value to mariners. Under the
present arrangements ships are some
times held in port when it would be
safe for them to sail, owing to the lack
of definiteness of the -storm signal.
The adoption of the yellow jennant is
urged by all interested who have been
consulted about it, and it will probably
soon be added to the code. When
that is done storm signals will only be
displayed when high winds are re-
ported within 100 miles of the stations
at which they fly.
Any person entitled to pre-empt and
homestead a quarter section of land
may exercise both privileges by tak
ing the pre-emption nrsL The gov
ernment laws prohibit anyone from
leaving any land of his own to pre
empt, and if a homestead or timber
claim is desired, it can be taken after
the pre-emption has been secured. By
taking this course, a man can secure
4S0 acres of land in this locality, but,
"timber culture claims" and "desert
land' are not found in - this locality.
A pre-emption is obtained by si
months residence and the payment of
1.25 per acre within thiith-three
months from settlement. A lesidence
of five e5rs, and the payment of $22
and other small fees at the land office,
is necessary to secure a homestead or
it may be commuted on the terms
of a pre-emption. Lands, "Valu
able chiefly for timber or
stone, may be purchased direct from
the government at S2.50 per acre.
School lands are sold at $1.25 per
acre, on easy terms, and the amount
sold to one person is limited to 320
acres. Tide lands are sold by the
state on similar terms to the school
lands. There is also, a special pro
vision for selling mineral and coal
lands direct from the government
Laud is to be obtained under all these
provisions in this county at present,
but the influx of immigration will
make it difficult to get good locations
after this vear.

Alaska Salmon Fishing
The work throughout the Karluk
river was comparatively poor. The
highest catch -was made at South End,
Lewis Worth being in charge of the
seine. The biggest lot pulled in in
one -haul was 7,610.
The red salmon, which is the most
sought for, was the scarcest iu the
river. Those that were in the river
..ni nlnn nl nt H& lOtf TlQa O t
seven canneries on the Kanuk river,
which is two iu excess of last season,
and yet the entire catch is almost 40
per cent less than that of last year.
The salmon after being caught are
handled entirely by Chinese. A large
force of Chinese are necessarily em
ployed. Their ingenuity and business-like
methods have been developed
during their stay in the north, and
this season they were prepared for
action, and ready to turn everything
to account The packing companies
are so careful of their employes that
they will alio them to have no liquor
on the ground. The Chinese, know
ing of this, took up a considerable
quantity of Sam Shu, or Chinese gin,
and their wet merchandise netted
them a handsome profit The stuff,
which is horrible at its best, cost the
Chinese about 90 cents a gallon, and
they sold it for 82 a quart bottle.
The men at South End did no fish
ing at night, as they were not pre
pared for the work, having no lan
terns with them. Had they been able
to work at night it is claimed that
they could have caught double the
number of salmon. Twelve thousand
cases were put up at the new cannery
when 30,000 cases were countedon at
the lowest estimate. The catch all
around in Alaskan waters is said to
have fallen far below that of previous
seasons. S. F. Chronicle, 23.

Edwin S. Miller to-day began suit
against J. "W. Bailey, to recover 1,
006.47. Miller alleged that while he,
and Bailey were partners in business
they made several promissory notes,
payable to Wadhams & Elliot, for
goods. On the 7th of September 1885,
the co-partnership of Bailey & Miller
was dissolved, when Bailey agreed for
valuable consideration, to liquidate
the debts existing against the firm,
excepting one due J. A. Folger fc Co.,
of San Francisco. It is alleged that
Bailey wholly failed to keep his part
of the agreement, and on the 19th of
last August, William Wadhams began
suit against the defunct firm for the
amount" due hisfirm $1,162.90. In or
der to secure withdrawal of the.action
