Ife has been along the coast, as far south as it) 1.7 off the Rogue River, and has 55 ie:l skins aboard. None of the scaling ileet has done much this season, so far, but better luck is expected later on. He has 13 men aboard, and four boats, and af ier provisioning will spread his sails for the noi them coast The mode or catching the seals is as follews: The men are detailed in boats, two to row and one to kill. They are given their course and the schooner stands oft and on, ready to afford assistance and pick the boats up. A sleeping seal is approached and shot, the intent being to shoot it in the head. The captured seal is taken to Ihe vessel and skinned; the carcass is useless, being almost wholly uneat able except the liver and brains. The skin is pickled for about twelve days, when it can be rolled up and put any where that is cool and dry. The prin cipal market is Victoria, where the green skins bring from S7 to SS apiece.

Late last night a rumor was rife on the street that there had been a wild time at Bay Center, and that Rose and his son, Edwards and Gibbons had been lynched by the infuriated people. Another rumor was that five were lynched, including Jones and the four above named. 11 was said that George Rose and lack Edwards had made a full con fession, acknowledging that the and their accomplices had not onlv killed Fredrickon and wife but the other mining parties who had formerly filed on the ranch. This confession was said to have been made in open court yesterday, during the examination, and that then the people lynched the whole gang. It is evidently an entire fabrication, but it would not be strange if a sim ilar event should occur later. Valuable Oirvery Arrows the River. A resident of Pacific county, "Wash ington, has been making discoveries which are liable to lead to something valuable being found in that locality. From the samples brought to this ofiice, and his statements, he has evi dently found some very valuable sand stone, which is of a superior quality, susceptible of a high polish. If he can find it in sufficient, quantity it will prove fortunate enough for him. Other rock found indicate the close proximity of copper and of gold bear ing quartz. Further researches will at once be made and the locality thoroughly prospected, and it is very likely that the work will prove suc cessful. Catholic Eastfr Services.

ZITTIlE ,IFE YET XAXIFESTEIi. "Anything new in the salmon situ ation? asked an Astobiaj reporter yesterday of a canner. "Nothing," was the reply; "I don't see steam issuing from a single cannery. George & Barker got a few fish in the early part of the week, but they haven't packed a hundred cases. There are not twenty boats out, and so far, practi cally nothing has been done. Even Wm. Hume, who usually has the first shipment of spring salmon for the season, from the river, is reported to be doing nothing, though it's likely that he has a few boats out with 10 inch mesh nets, and has landed a few 50 pounders, with their noses smashed as his trade mark. Even if he were to pay S1.25, they wouldn't cost him three cents a pound, for he has no use for any but big fellows.' Inquiry from other sources elicited similar answers. There is no difference of opinion be tween the fishermen and the caunory meu. The trouble lies solely in the business situation. The canners con cede that if all the boats ran, the fish ermen can't make living wages at even $1.25 a fish: the fishermen concede that at prevailing prices the canners can't afford to pay 61.25, but claim, with great truth, that high as that price appears, it doesn't afford them more than a living. There is really no "setting" of the price. The price will set itself this season. Last year, as in previous Aprils, the fishermen's union set the price of sahnon at $1.25, and straight way some of the canneries began bid ding against each other to secure men, and offering bonuses of free boats, free lines and in some cases free board, tliis giving the men more than they demanded. For the same reason the canneries would this year pay as much as it is possible for them to pay and come out even at the end of the season. It is desirable that the canneries should have the fish, and desirable for the fishermen to furnish the "raw material", and for this reason the in terests of both are identical. The canneries say they cannot pay more than 75 cents; that it is crowd ing things to pay even that; they are heavily handicapped by the Alaska and other outside packs, by the cheap methods of securing fish at the Cas cades by means of fishwheels, and are compelled to keep in view the markets and the invariable relation of supply and demand in disposing of the man ufactured article To The Astoria it appears that it would be better for both cannery men and fishermen to limit the num ber of boats on the lower Columbia, to, say, 500. These 500 could get as many salmon as if there were 1,500, and those that did fish would have a chance of making something like good wages; preference to be given to resi dent fisherman. There are 1,000 men here, citizens of Oregon and Washington, bona fide residents, who conld thus make a re munerative season. If the usual number of boats are out this season, none of them will make anything. There are just so many salmon to be caught, and the more they are divided among the fewer will be each one's share. This would, also bo better for the canners; it would be less expensive for them in a variety of ways, and would be more financially satisfactory all round. It is believed that it will come to that, and if the union were to arrive at that conclusion to-morrow and mnke a request of the canners to scale down the number of boats, that such a demand would be readily acceded to by the canners. The union has issued a circular ask ing the fishermen all along the river not to accept anv lower terms than 1.25 a fish. The present situation is lifeless, but the matter will work itself out during the present month and fish will be ready to can whenever the canners are ready to take them. Sorial Party. There was a social party at the resi dence of Mrs. G. W. ltucker last "Wednesday evening, the principal sonrce of amusement being progressive halma and hshing. Among those present were Miss.

Beams for trapeze and swinging rings are being put up, also a director's room, dressing and bath rooms and water closets were being put in. A new stairway has been built and a partition put up so as to keep the crowd from rushing up stairs. Almost everything has been done, that can be, until the gymna sium appliances arrive, when they will be put in position and the club rooms will be opened.

In the old days an editor called a man a chicken thief, uow-a-days the reporter finds the feathers in his back vard. The weapon of the old time editor was the epithet; that of the modern reporter is the evidence. What theeditor used to assert the re porter now proves. If the people who complain of what the reporter writes of them would only consider what he does not write about them, they would enshrine him in the dearest comer of their hearts. The waste baskets of a daily news paper in any town do more to keep its citizens in good repute than any other agency except the fear of the law and the hereafter. Not all that a reporter writes is true. He is not infallible himself and of those who are the sonrce of his information many are less so. There are very many men who can not tell a straight story. The man who tells the story to the re porter is usually an interested party. He has a purpose to serve in meta morphosing this or suppressing that. The reporter has no desire except to get the truth accurately and com pletely, and to write it quickly and entertainingly. All men do not love the reporter. The fear and hatred of bad men is a chaplet above his brows. It is the assurance of his honesty to his badge of honor as a servant of truth. If a time ever comes when all men love the reporter it will bo time to bury him. You don't know how much better wm wi I fiil if you take Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Parkman tells of a curious phenomenon in Chattahoochee county a place where rain falls perpetually. U.11C spot is locnieti ou a muu ivuun iu a thin wood on the Shipp place, two miles from Thad. Mr. Parkman says the discover was made last Thursday, and that rain has been falling steadily on the knoll since that time. The downfall covers a space of fifty feet square. This space is perfectly w et, and the leaves on the ground are full of water. Mr. Parkman says he visited the place with G. A. McBryde at noon Tuesday. There was not a cloud to be seen in the sky, and the leaves everywhere, except on tho square, were as dry as tinder. "I stood with the space between me and the sun," said Mr. Parkman, "and saw the raindrops coining steadily down from the sky. I held out my handkercliief and it was soon saturated with water." Mr. Parkman says that everybody who hears about the phenomenon is skeptical, but that the many who have visited the place in the last few days have gone away convinced. No one has yet offered an explanation of the mysterious rainfall. Mr. Parkman suggests that some powerf ul unknown substance attracts the moisture from tho atmosphere. Hacunnah JSTeics.
