HIE PIONEER STEADIER
Now Lvinc on the Rocks in the Narrows.
The snbject of. this article, the
steamer Jhactr, which now lies a par
tial wreck in the Narrows at the en
trance of Vancouver harbor, is the
most notable vessel, from a historical
point of view, on the Pacific coast
It is a pity that she should be left ne
glected in the osition where she now
lies. Her machinery is still intact,
and her hull is not irreparably dam
aged. The citizens of Vancouver
should make an effort to secure her,
for although the machinery in itself
would be a prize, she might be made
nn object of great curiosity and inter
est to visitors to the city it she were
placed in a place where she might be
conveniently inspected.
Fifty-five years have passed and a
generation of men have come and
gone since the Hudson Bay company's
steamer Heaver lloated down the riv
er Thames, through the British Chan
nel, and went out into the open, track
less sea, rounded Cape Horn,
clove the placid waters of the Pacific
ocean, and anchored at length, af
ter a passage of 163 days, at Astoria,
then one of the chief towns on the
Pacific coast. Built and equipped at
a period when the problem of steam
marine navigation was about to be
solved, is it any wonder that the little
steamer which was destined to trav
erse two oceans one of them scarcely
known outside of books of travel was
an object of deep and engrossing inter
est from the day that her keel was first
laid until the morning that she passed
out of sight amidst the encouraging
cheers of thousands gathered on either
shore and the answering salvos of her
own guns, on a long voyage to an un
known sea? Titled men and women
watched the progress of construction.
A duchess broke the traditional
bottle of champagne over tho bow
and bestowed the name she has ever
since proudly worn. The en
gines and lxnlers, built by
Hollun & Watt (the latter the son of
the great "Watt), were placed in their
proper positions on board, but it was
not considered safe to work them on the
passage, so she w;is rigged as a brig
and came out under sail. A bark
accompanied her as a convoy to assist
in case of accident: but the Heater
set all canvas, ran out of sight of her
'protector, ' and reached the (Jolum
bia river twenty-two days ahead. Cap
tain Home was the name of the first
commander of the Jicaver; he brought
her out, and one can well imagine the
feeling of pride with which he
strode the deck of his brave
little ship, which carried six
guns nine lionnders. Soon after
reaching Astoria the Heater got up
steam and greatly astonished the resi
dents by her performances. She
steamed up to Nisqually, then the
Hudson Bay company's chief station
on the Pacific coast Here Captain
McNeil took command of Hie Heater.
and Captain Home, retiring to one of
the company s posts on the Colnmbia
river, perished in 1837 in Death's
Rapids by the upsetting of a boat
From that period until the steamer
passed into the hands of the
imperial hydrographers, the his
tory of the Jluicer was that of most
of the company's trading vessels. She
ran north and" sonth, east and west,
collecting furs and carrying goods to
and from the stations for many years.
Amongst the bast known of her offi
cers during that period were Captains
Dodds, Brochie, Scarborough, Sangs
ter. Kudlin and others, all of whom
passed away long since. It is be
lieved that not a single person who
came out in the Beater in 1835 is now
alive and nearly all the company's
officers, with a few exceptions, who
received her on her arrival at the
Columbia river, are gone too. Van

THE KARLUK CANNERIES.
A Bis Salmon Catch in Western Alaska.
During the season of '89, up to Sep
tember 1st; 5,250,000 cases of salmon
were put up from the Karluk. A case
contains 4.8 pounds, and therefore the
whole catch up to September amount
ed to 12,000,000 pounds of canned
salmon. In one day 150,000 red
salmon (Oncorhynchus merka) were
taken. The average weight of these
fish is about ten pounds. They were
taken mostly in seines; no machinery
used, and about thirty men required to
handle a seine, tho largest of which is
1,500 feet long, 20 deep, with 3 inch
mesh. Dories and boats were used,
also lighters. Numerous steam
launches, small and large steamers,
and a great many sailing vessels were
employed at the canneries. The
capital invested was not less than
SLOOO.000, and the product is about
S2,000,000 more the plant and the
product for one year representing
nearly the whole cost of the territory
of Alaska White men were employed
to superintend the Avork of the canner
ies and do the fishing. Tho season
extends from June to October. Most
all of the fishing is done on the ocean
beach, near the mouth of the river.
A few fish arc caught in the lower two
miles of the river. The capital of
salmon packing companies on Ivodiak
island ranges from $100,000 to $00,000.
There are five permanent canneries on
the Karluk, and, lesides these, three
other firms obtain their supply of
salmon at a distance from the fisher'.
There were thirty-six canneries in
Alaska last year, eleven of these being
on the island of Kokiak. The eleven
produce more canned salmon than all
of the rest combined.
Washed Away By Floods.
AsiiiiAXi), Feb. 9. Now that the
waters have receded and we have an
au opportunity to gain some informa
tion of the loss by the flood in various
sections of Jackson county, it is pos
sible to approximate at least the losses
by the overflow of the different streams
over the counly. While the losses to
tho county of bridges and roads will
reach many thousands of dollars, they
will not approach the losses sustained,
by the washing out and destruction of
rich bottom lauds. The richest lands
in the Rogue river valley, and prob
ably as productive as anywhere, are
situated along the creek bottoms; the
high water has played sad havoc with
hundreds of acres of these lands over
the country. It is estimated that al
most 1,000 acres of Jackson county's
richest soil has been carried awav by
the turbid waters and replaced with
worthless gravel. This loss for the
land alone reaches in the aggregate
about $200,000, it is wealth which can
not be replaced.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
To the Editors Daily Democrat :
One thing is necessary in Oregon.
Upon this thing all intelligent men
are agreed. There should be a con
stitutional convention. The necessity
is judicial legislation, executive, and
for business purposes. The present
constitution has done its work. For a
decent sized country as Oregon was
when it was adopted, it was largo
enough. The world grows, and the
state has grown; a man grows, also,
and it is just as reasonable to confine
the grown man to the pants he wore
when he was a boy of ten, as in this
progressive age to confine a great
state like Oregon to the cramped up
garment she assumed in 1859. Look at
tho judiciary. Its only office appears
to be to authorize county scrip to bo
issneth Look at the administration.
What is there in it by which its action
is determined? Look at tho execu
tive. What does a man want with the
treasurer's office, where he has con
trol of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of tho people's money at a salary
of$S00ayear? What does a gover
nor or secretary of state want with of
fices at salaries of $1,500 a year,
when ox-ollicio they are the owners of
immense bodies of land and
other moneyed business of the state?
Why is it that men who are calculated
to do honor and make fortunes in
other legitimate lines of business seek
these iwsitions? I don't; know do
you? The presumption is, according
to all correct rules of reason, that the
public service is rotten to the core.
We don't know it. It may not be,
out mo presumptions are, as oam
Small says, "jubus." We venture to
say that there is not a provision of tho
present constitution, except the 0110
that provides that tho officers shall
receive their salaries, but that has been
for years past contemptuously ig
nored. Individual instances are un
necessary. When yon say in Oregon
that tho constitution forbids this or
that, the answer invariably is, "Who
cares a d n for tho constitution."
The constitution says no county shall
contract a debt of over $5,000. Who
cares for tho constitution. Tho con
stitution provides that the judges
shall read the testimony in equity
cases; they make a ride they won't
read it Who gels the percentage on
the state taxes? What ruling power
controls the board of land commission
ers? When a man wants a bill
through the legislature, who has ho
to bny, and how much does it cost?
So in everything. If wo want to
do any thing our enemies grvo us con
stitution if they have the money, if
they don't, and we have, presto change.
Let us try and chango this chamelion
by a constitutional convention.
Sound Sense.
A School Teacher's Tribulations.
Professor Llewellyn has until lately
been principal of the public school at
Waitsburg, but is not so any more.
He tried to "govern" but could not,
and the pupils became so unruly that
they finally stood him on his head in
the mud, impairing both his dignity
and the neatness of his apparel. A
"Walla "Walla paper says that he was
rolled around in the filth until he pre
sented the appearance of a mud man,
his face being plastered with
the liquid clay, whilo his nos
trils and ears were securely plugged
with the same mess. During tliis
scene the remaining scholars danced
around the unfortunate pedagogue
with shouts of great glee. Tho next
day, if possible, the insubordination
assumed even a moro serious aspect,
the big boys handling the principal
roughly. He was placed on tho desk
and held there while the pnpils
mocked him with all manner
of faces and catch-phrases. The cli
max camo on Friday, when some of
the scholars proposed to unrobe their
teacher and expose him, garbed as
Adam was in the garden of Eden, to
the derision of the children, big and
little. Of course there was a fight
and the teacher got tho worst of it.
That evening he resigned.
