A curious fact is reported in con
nection with the formation of barna
cles on ship's bottoms. In the ma
jority of cases there is a much heavier
growth of grass and barnacles on one
side than on the other, and in numer
ous instances one side will be almost
free from marine growths while the
other is as foul is possible.
At a French agricultural station, the
experiment of hatching trout ova in
complete darkness has been made.
The process was delayed fifteen days
by the darkness. The prolonged in
cRbatkra is claimed to give young fry
of greater vigor, to produce fewer
cnstrosities,and to bring the creatures
lHto the world when the brooks afford
more food than at an earlier period in
the spring.
Ssvs the Valleio Cal . Chronicle of
the l4Ui: The fishermen of Hie state
are at. war with the canneries, and have
joined in a union to keep prices. This
morning several boats canio in with
fkk whose owners do not belong to
the union. It being the order passed
sU along the line to throw the fish of
BOR-wuou nien into the river, it was
dose. The owners objected to this,
and had the union men arrested.

THE SALMON SITUATION.

a statj; Ol' CnXJiJIAL IXACTIOX.
Tiiere arc three canneries v on the
lower Columbia doing a lit lie iu sal-
mon canning: Wm. Eume :it Eagle
Clin", P. J. McGowan at Cliinook. an J
Genrg" i: liarker at Upper Astoria.

adjacent residents at 75 cents apiece:
-. , . ,, . .

In the other canneries nothing is
beiug done. J. O. .Hanthorn, at Upper
Astorht, and Warren at Cathlamet, are
making a few cans. Scarcely any
thread h:is been bought and general
inaction prevails.
The weather is warm nnd the river
is full of fisli.
The gill net fishermen are doing
nothing. The fish that George &
Rarkerget are picked up, here and
there. They got about 1,250 last Sun
dsij morning, some of which were
taken on board the Telephone at
points up the river the preceding day,
and reslitpped back at Portland; a
portion of their fish also comes from
Oregon City.
A slricf patrol is maintained at
Clifton, and no boats go out to fish.
Rut one day last week a woman
living i'jere said she didn't think they
would object to a woman's fishing:
so she got a boat and not, nnd a
female companion to row, and amid
considerable good natured bantering
she went out and made a good drift.
The net result of her venture was 54
salmon, which she sent to George &
barker. They paid her $33.90, for her
iiiiys vinj, ;ui hi eruge oi i cenia u
fih: and now, she says, she can come
to Astoria and buy a new dress and
some ictas for the house, with money
in her pocket.
Tun Astobiak still holds to its oft
stated idea: cut down the number of
beats: cut them down one-half: that
in iiuuiu uiu uui; buiuuuu ui
the problem. The cauuers say this
will help greatly: the fishermen say
the same thing: they realize that their
interests are not opposite, but aro
identical. It is a good thing for all,
and to that it must come. Some fisher
men say: "that is .all very well, but you
forget that cutting down the number
of boats doesn't cut down the numlxjr
of traps and seines."
"Without any claim lo special knowl
edge on the subject, but as the result
of many years' close observation, it is
the opinion of Trrn Astomax that not
to cut down the number of boats will
certainlv result in more traps and
seines than if the number of boats was
cut down. For if the number of boats
remain the same :is last year it will
cause as many traps aud seine3 lo be
operated as possible later in the season.
The harvest of the seine men will be
in July and probably the first third of
August The new Washington law
extends the open season lo the 10lh of
August, and that virtually extends it
to the same date in Oregon; for, with
the open season to the 10th of that
month on the north bank of the river,
it will be manifestly impossible to en
force the close season on the night of
July 31 en the south bank.
it is manliest,7 says a canueryman
4 that the canners cannot pay $1.25 a
fish. That is outside of argument
It is not a question of whether they
want lo. or don't want to ; they simply
can't. The situation is different from
even '89. Then they were in hopes
that the prospective market would
justify packing,and paying even as high
as $1.44) a piece, as many of them did. No
such state of affairs exists in '90. There
is nothing present or prospective to
justify any canner to attempt to pack
on any such basis. Last year's
avalanche of canned salmon from
Alaska and the Fraser is the cause of
the present depression in the salmon
market, and the reason why it is im
possible for a Columbia river canner
to pay $1.25 in 1890."
Nor is it iossible, the fishermen
claim on the other hand for gill net
fishermen to make anything like
wages at anything less than
$1.25. That is with the present num
ber of boats on the river. One dollar
and twenty-five cents apiece for sal
mon sounds big, but it is a fact, never
the less, that even at that apparently
big price, a gill net fisherman cannot
make wages. Last year's average was
440 to the boat; this was $550, for two
men, for four months; to say nothing
of the risky nature of the life; the ex
pense of boat and net; ihe hardship
and exposure.
So the matter stands; there is noth
ing in it for either the canuerymeu or
the fishermen at $1.25 a piece.
In the interests of both; in the in
terests of tho city, our merchants and
the business community, The Asto
eian iterates and reiterates (because
it knows of nothing better to say,) its
advice cut down the number of boats
one-half, and let those who run that
half be residents; men who five and
who are connected with the prosperity
of Hie place.
It is a serious matter, affecting as it
does the business prosperity of the
city, and even-' one in the place. Till
something definite transpires, till some
tangible conclusion is reached, busi
ness stagnates, and all branches of
trade feel the lack of the impetus that
is alone acquired by the circulation of
monev.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Li rely Meeting and Span-ins Exhibitions.
Last evening the first exercises of
the Astoria Athletic association were
held in their new rooms. Nearly 200
men were in attendance, and mtich
interest was manifested.
First on the programme "was a spar
ring match, in three rounds, with six
ounce gloves, by Frank McCann and
Jack Reed. The latter appeared to be
on the aggressive for the first two
rounds, but hi Hie third- the tables
wereturnedand R-i did the dodging, j
It commence! a S:41 aud lasted '
twelve minutes. There was not much I
science manifested nor much amuse-'.
ment afforded to the spectator;
Next came a four-round 'contest be-1
tween Tom Rawlins and James Ryan,
which was quite lively. Both men
were tall, well built qnick and wiry,
and moved so rapidly that the audi
ence were busy in keeping watch of
their movements. Rawlins appeared
to be slightly the better man, though
there was little, if any, difference
between them. They closed at 920
amid considerable applause.
Then came tho event of the evening,
being a contest between Larry Sulli
van and "William Scott for a fight to a
finish, and a purse of $250, which was
offered by the association. J. "W.
Hume was referee. Tho time-keepers
were W. L., Robb, John Fox and
Grant Trullinger.
Sullivan weighed about 150 pounds,
wore white knee breeches and shoes,
and was seconded by P. Gorman and
Joe Baker. Scott weighed about 140
pounds, wore blue knee breeches and
shoes, and was seconded by Con.
Riordau and Richard McCarron.
Meno' was offered on the success of
Scott in any sum from ono dollar to
five hundred, but no bets were taken,
though there had already been bets
amonuting to several hundred dollars.
They shook hands at 959 p. M. and
time was called at 10 o'clock. With
nothing on above the waist, the men
appeared quite muscular and well
built, but Sullivan was the taller and
had that advantage, as well as having
longer arms, but Scott was supposed
to have greater endurance. In the
second round Scott rushed Sullivan
and knocked him down and each gave
some hard blows.
Thethird round was very lively,
Scott striking several hard blows.
Sullivan was knocked down and ap
peared weak and shaky at tho close.
The fourth and fifth rounds were
less lively, though in the latter each
gave hard blows.
The sixth was more exciting, Sulli
van was again knocked down and
received hard knocks on his face.
The seventh was earnest, and blows
were given and received by each, one
hitting Sullivan's nose with telling
effect
The next three were comparatively
tame, but in the four following there
were numerous hard hits by each.
The fifteenth round was exciting.
Sullivan was on tho aggressive and
rushed his opponent to corner nnd
gave him two severe blows, then they
clinched aud Sullivan wound his leg
around Scott and threw him. Cries
of "foul" were freely heard, after
which Scott tried the'same game and
then the friends of the other man
cried "foul." There were several
clinches and many hard blows.
The next round was more quiet,
though Sullivan ducked and as ho
came up Scott gave him a severe blow.
The seventeenth was more earnest
than any before, Sullivan having a
great advantage, for he put in some
terrible blows, and had not time been
called, he would have liad his oppo
nent knocked out, for Scott was very
weak and shaky.
In Uie next round Sullivan was
ahead and knocked Scott over the
lower rope, but ho jose quickly, and
appeared to recover quickly, then both
sparred for wind and the round ended
quietly.
In the uineteeth both came up all
right, though each had bumps on their
cheek bones, and but little was done
until near the close of tliejound, when
numerous blows were given by each,
they clinched, and Scott apparently
struck Sullivan with his knee, when
the latter cried "ford," and he declnred
he would fight no more His seconds
persuaded hun otherwise
The next was quiet, but in the
twenty-first both were yery demon
strative Sullivan struck very hard,
but received a heavy blow on his nose,
and both showed marks of punish
ment as time was called at close
Tho next three rounds were rather
inactive, mostly sparring and close
watching for chances, but few blows
being given except in the twenty-fourth
round when Scott put in several hard
clips and Sullivan returned in good
style
In the twenty-fifth round, after a
little watching and dodging, it became
evident that Sullivan was determined
to find an opportunity he had been
watching for several ronnds to push
the fight to an end. He found
it and though he received a hard
blow from Scott, ho struck him twice in
rapid succession, the second time on
the under side of the jaw as he was
partially staggering and down fell
Scott striking the floor with great
force Slowly and regularly the
keepers counted ten seconds and still
the man did not rise After thirteen
seconds he tried to rise but fell again,
had to be lifted up, and Sullivan was
the victor. There were cheers and
much excitement and the contest
ended, having continued one hour and
thirty-nine minutes.
The referee awarded the victory to
Sullivan who wa3 congratulated by
many, especially by bis father who
had been an interested spectator.
Scott's left thumb was broken in the
sixth round, either by striking, or
when he fell upon liis hand. Each
man will have several swellings on tho
face for several davs.

WHO IS IT?
Opium Said to
be Smuggled
Cans.
in Salmon
For montlis past the custom house
officials of San Francisco, have been
painfully aware, that despite their
most strenuous efforts, large quantities
of opium, were finding their way into
the city, on which no duty had been
paid. 'Where did it come from? And
how was it brought in ? were
questions that puzzled them and do to
this day.
The other day a Gazette reporter
ran across a fisherman, who seemed
to be familiar with the whole affair,
and from him we elicited the following.
The man said: "
"When in Astoria last week, some
of the boys got to speaking about the
salmon ran on the Fraser river, and
the profits made by a certain Fraser
river canueryman then in Astoria, and
intimated that liis cannery would
not run this season. The reason as
signed for its not running was, 'they
are getting on to the racket' " This
man had started his cannery only a
few years ago with comparatively
nothing, but now ho is a millionaire
One thing is certain, he never amassed
his fortune out of the canning busi
ness in that length of time.
The old adage, that mnrder will out,
seems to hold equally with smuggling,
at least it has in this case.
The way the thing is worked is
tliis: The opium is packed into salmon
cans hermetically sealed up and, with
an attractive salmon label pasted on
the outside, goes on its way rejoicing.
In a shipment several "loaded" cases
aro introduced, bearing a private
mark. "When the consignment ar
rives in San Francisco the import
duty is paid, nnd the salmon
and the opium is now safe iu the
"promised land." Once iu the United
States it is no trouble to secrete and
dispose of it The custom officers do
not open hermetically sealed canued
goods, and the result is large quanti
ties of the seductive drug have found
their way into the United
States, li seems that tins business
has been going on for years and
canneries could be run at a loss and
still make profit in home unaccount
able way. Doubtless this discovery
will throw some light on the subject.
