Iia-t Evening's Fire.
The fire bell rang at nine last even

motion. The lire was in Mrs. W. G.
Boss's large frame dwelling house at
the south end of Cass street and burst
in llames through the root The fire
men had considerable difficuly in get
ting to the spot, and there was great
delay in securing water, the hose
Imrstinir repeatedlv. At last a stream
was secured and the fire soon got un-1
der control. The fire originated in
the upper story and is supposed to
have caught from a defective stove
that allowed the coals to commun
icate with the iloor.
The house is occupied by the
families of Messrs. Carpenter and
Wallihan, who sustain some damage
in spoiled carpets aud broken furni
ture. The damage to the premises was
$100 : uninsnred.
The value that a chemical engine
would be to the department, was well
illustrated last evening.
From the time the fire broke out
till water came was 21 minutes. The
fire burned very slowly, but under
ordinary circumstances would have
enveloped the entire premises in that
time. A chemical engine would have
saved its cost last night, aud is a
needed adjunct to the department.

suit in the circuit court wherein Na

and J. Q. A. Bowlby et al's. are de

part ot the Olney estate and embraces

Iu addition to tho numerous per
sons concerned as plaintiffs or defend
ants, many more are interested in the
matter, asquito a number of the lots
have been sold for taxes, and are now
so held by purchers.
The plaintiffs make three distinct
claims, and asks for the following;
First for a partition of the prop
erty to the several tenants in common,
as their interests may appear.
Second that C. R'. Thomson, one of
the plaintiffs, have a lien on tho prop

Third that the plaintiffs have and

'IUE INSPECTORS AT NEWPORT.
Tliey Investigate the Charges Preferred
Against the Captain of the Wallaski."
Captain E. S. Edwards, and Mr. F.
McDermott, the United States local
inspectors, have returned from their
business jaunt to Yaquina bay. They
went to Newport to investigate the
charges ot "non-compliance with rules
and negligence through drunkenness,"
which were preferred by an engineer
named Sackett, against Captain Blake,
of the steamer Walluski.
A dozen or fifteen witnesses were ex
amined, and the testimony submitted
made a bundle of manuscript of such
proportions that tho transportation
companies came very near making tho
inspectors pay freight charges to bring
it to Portland.
Captain Edwards said that the re
sult of the investigation proved con
clusively that not only had the captain
of the Wallwikl violated the rules, as
charged, but that the complainant,
Sackett, who is half owner of the
Walluski, was also guilt' of great in
discretions. The inspectors considered
the case to be six ot one nud half a
dozen ot the other. They will suspend
the license of both the captain and the
engineer for sixty days, and will im
pose a fine of S2,800 on the steamer.
The Walluski, which is worth about
$1,500, is in charge of the collector of
customs, who, on tho 17th of the
present month, tied the steamer up
aud placed a watchman on board. The
boat will not be allowed to be taken
away until the fine is liquidated. Con
sidering the largo snm necessary to
secure her release, which is $1,300
more than the value placed upon the
boat it is very likely that the Walluski
will be allowed to rot against the piles
before the owners tako any action in
the matter. Oreyonian.

SALMON.
A Communication Kcanling the Outlook
For the Pack.
Editor San Francisco Commercial
Ncics Sir: The stock of salmon in
Great Britain has been considerably
exaggerated, though larger than usual,
and the clipping from the Oregon pa
per in your issue of to-dav would lead
the public still further astray were
they to take the report and thefigures
stated therin, as being correct
As.a matter of iact the stock of good
marketable salmon is not excessive
either here or on the other side, and
is gradually being reduced bv the
steady and persistent demand for
a fish of line quality and pack. The
stock of bad and inferior salmon is, of
course, very large and likely to remain
so, as dealers have found by bitter
experience that it is useless to try to
dispose of it. A considerable quantity
of this may be looked upon as abso
lutely unsaleable, and consequently
must not be taken into consideration,
when estimating the stocks or arriving
at any opinion of the future of the
salmon market.
It will be a salutary lesson to can-
nere to pack only good fish and to
teach them that their responsibility
does not end directly the salmon leaves
tho cannery. If packers will see that
tnly really good fish is put up and
ohat proper care is used in packing it,
there will be no difiicnlty m disposing
of it, and it will tend towards restor
ing a liealtny tone to the market,
which it has lost mainlv throngh
the packing of snch qualities
of worthless and unmerchanta
ble fish, mostly outside river canners.
Prices will, of course, not be equal to
last season's, but there will be suf
ficient margin for profit to satisfy
canners, until the m.irket re-asserts
itself. How long this will be is a mat
ter that rests with themselves, as all
depends on their policy and the judg
ment they exercise in the quality and
quantity of the pack.
Wo estimate that the probable pack of
tho coming season will be:
Cases.

British Columbia 150,000
Alaska 500,000
Outside rivers 1...000

Total cmO.OGO,
As all in the trade know over 50,000
cases of cheap salmon have been sold
at all the way from C5c to UOc per
dozen for Eastern markets which
refutes one of Mr. Johnson's assertions
that there is enough fish in the markets
of the world to lastuntil the advent of
the 1891 pack. We will venture to
say that 50,000 cases more could be
disposed of at the same figure, and
would quickly go into consumption.
as it is the cheapest foo.l that is put
into tins. Wc very much doubt if a
single case of this cheap salmon i.e.
fall pack and Alaska, will be left
here when tho new fish arrives, and
we presume the low prices iu
England will also stimnlatc consump
tion there. If Englaud is capahle of
taking 500,000 cases salmon with a
population of 33,000,000, the United
btates is certainly capable of taking
twice as ranch with a population of 70,-
000,000 and we predict that good red
Alaska salmon at 1.00 per dozen will
not go begging on this market. We
have always advocated that fall
packed salmon, immaterial where it is
packed, is a curse to the trade and we
fnn3ii1nr Hulk nti Mil nf nrmr Knlmnn
will do more harm than twenty cases
of good.
AVe think the diminished packing i
will be in Columbia river and fall
nacked salmon, nlsn vliifn Alaska
salmon; this should make a difference !
of at least 400,000 cases in the pack of

All
automatic card shufiler is the
work of an English inventor, Mr.
Booth. It works thus: A sharp turn
to the right of either of the two han
dles places tho machine in working
order. Tho cards arc then dropped
iuto the slot The machine works by t
itself, and the cards gradnally dis
appear. When the whole have passed
into the machine the handle is turned
again in the same direction, and the ;
cards will be brought hack to the sur
face of the table. Another pack
should then be placed in the slot, and !
tho shuffling process repeats itself i
while the players are dealing and '
playing pack No. 1. When the hand j
has been played out, a turn of the iiau-'
die brings pack No. 2 ready shuffled, j
and tho used pack No. 1 is then j
placed in the slot in place of pack No. j
2. This process may be repealed in-1

Joseph Hume, the purchaser of the
Florence house, was next permitted to
tako the witness stand. He stated
that he had bid $82,000 for the prop
erty, and thnt amount he thought to
be about S12,000 in excess of its real
value. Ho was willing to have the
sale canceled if he were allowed 7 per
cent, interest for the use of his money
from February 28th last
In response to a question from the
court, Hume stated that ho was pos
sessed of considerable wealth which
he had made catching salmon on the
Columbia river. The fact that he had
paid $12,000 more for the property
than he thought it worth he explained
by stating that he was very much ex
cited on the day of the sale. The wit
ness further stated that he had found
the rumors about Mrs. French mak
ing S1,000 a month out of the property
had been circulated to boom the
property, while her real profits were
not more than S300 a month. This
amoiuit Mr. Hume considered very
small, considering that there is $10,000
worth of furniture in the house. He
did not think that his investment
would return a net income of more
than 3 per cent, on $82,000. S. F.
