CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
There xvas such a run of salmon
yesterday that in some instances the
canneries were compelled to refuse
them from the boats. The salmon are
in the river in great numbers, and
nothing like it has been seen for years.
Two causes are assigned for the ex
Ir.inruinary run of 31ay fish; one is the
protracted inactivity throughout
April and the first days of this meuth:
the other that the effects of the good
work at the salmon hatchery is begm-

it in the yard or house, but in home

the boats did go out they made euor
mous catches.
It is said that some of the three-year
salmon from the hatching of 1887 are
showing up, but the large salmon evi
dently antedate the seed of that year.
There being comparatively few cans
on hand make it a difficult matter for
some of the canneries to take care of
the salmon. as fast as the fishermen
furnish them. One cannery yesterday
had to disjKse of -MX) fishat 25 cents
apiece less than they paid for them to
get them off their hands.
Were all the salmon packed that
could be caught, the pack for May
would aggregate figures that would
compare with those of May in other
vears.

The Westminster papers report that
shipments ot spring salmon to eastern
points have fallen off materially in the
last few days, because Newfoundland
and Nova Scotia are bidding for the
Toronto and Montreal markets with a
fish, very much inferior to Fraser river
spring salmon, and this has depre
ciated the market in those centers so
as to make it unprofitable for the
Westminster dealers to ship and pay
express charges. The price of salmon
has been much reduced, and tho fish
ermen are now bringing in but few
fish in order not to glut the market

THE STEAMER DOLPHIN''
Reported Ashore at Toke" Point.
Conflicting reports reached this
ofiico last evening regarding the
stranding ot the steamer Dolphin at
Shoalxvater bay last Tuesday after
noon. The most coherent statement
Ls that the Dolphin, xvhich left here
last Tuesday morning for Shoalwater
bay, went ashore at sunset that day
near Toke's point The tug T. J.
Coleman, of the Sunshine mills,x-ent to
her assistance and made an ineffectual
attempt to toxv her off. Capt Broxvn's
life crew from North Cove went out
in the life boat and took the crew off.
No further particulars of the alleged
disaster were obtainable last evening,
and the exact extent of the Dolphin's
injuries could not be ascertained.
It may be news to some of our read
ers that there is such an officer in this
commonwealth as a state food com
missioner. His name is Peter Essen,
and he is here. His business is to en
force the law that makes it an offense
punishable by fine and imprisonment
to produce or sell unwholesome food,
or adulterated foods, drinks and med
icines. Mr. Essen is a big man; he has a
big job. From the sunrise peaks of
the Cascades to loxv water mark at the
Fort Stevens jetty, he has the whole
webfoot commonwealth to look after,
aud it is no slouch of an undertaking.
What the people of Oregon eat and
drink and take as medicine is a mat
ter that comes home to everyone's
stomach. It is where xve live, so to
speak, and Mr. Essen will well earn
his thousand dollars a year and ex
penses if he will look after the inter
ests of tho people in this important
regard.
Tho first thing he did yesterday
morning was to go aboard one of the
little boats and seize a big can of milk
that a suburban milkmau was about
to deliver to his Astoria customers.
Tho milkman xx-as the most surprised
man in the state, xvheu Mr. Essen pro
duced his lactometer and the rest of
the scientific outfit and proceeded to
test the qualitv of the milk.
"Well," said he at the close, "that is
great; this milk is axvay above all re
quirement; it is richer and purer than
any milk Fve met xvith. I want to
compliment your city" said he to au
AsToniAN reporter 'if this is a sample
of the milk you get here, for it is fine,
and not a single fault can be found
with it."
He was assured that it was a fair
sample of the lacteal fluid daily sold
to Astorians.
"The xvater, also," said Mr. Essen,
"that I find you use is remarably
pure."
This has also been noticed by other
people xvho smack their lips over
Astoria xvater as compared xvith the
rich and ropy product of the Wil
lamette. Rigid regulations in accord xvith the
legal requirements of the act, would,
however, doubtless result in a dis
covery of some adulterations in goods
Ixmglit elsewhere and offered for sale
just as received.
Some of the clauses are a little dif
ficult to enforce. For instance, sec
tion 3 says that each cow kept for
dairy purposes if confined in stables,
shall have at least 800 feet air space,
etc, xvhich is manifestly impossible to
enforce.
Mr. Essen xvill be sometimeKiu the
city and xvill doubtless make the ac
quaintance of sex'eral of our citizens
while here.

LOOK O VT FOli THE LOCOMOTIVE
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Alfred
Kinney receix-ed a dispatch from Mr.
Barr, the chief eugineer of the Albany
and Astoria railway company, saying
that he xvould be down here xvith his
entire force on Friday morning's boat,
and would immediately begin opera
tions. There are about txveuty men in the
party, and they will bring their pack
horses and surveying outfit and start
in to complete the survey of tho road,
preparatory to grading and track
laying. There hasn't been much talk about
this, but there is S2,000,000 behind it,
and the Albany and Astoria road is an
assured fact
Thus makes txvo railroads that are
now, it may be said, under xvay.
There are txvo more to hear from
that are still hesitating and xveighing
chances and probabilities. Of these
two, one of them xvill be heard from in
side of ten days, and in a way that there
is little doubt will lusure the exten

How to Cook a Beefsteak.
Henry Dizard the chef de cuisine of
Seattle's big hotel, on being asked by
n Pre.M reporter the best way to cook
a beefsteak, laid great stress upon the
fact that the meat should be four days
old before it is used.
"The meat,'' he said, "must have
been kept for four days in the refrig
erator after the animal Ls killed before
it is in a right condition, and though
it sometimes does not look very tempt
ing on the outside to the eye of the
uninitiated, it is splendid inside and
ready for use.
"Tho meat to be used for a steak
should be cut about one and one-half
inches thick. Most people make a
mistake m cutting the slices too

I "The usnal lime is from ten to

"A steak is rarely done in less time."
For fryiug Mr. Dizard recommends
that the steak be put into a pan con-
taming a small quantity ot suet, or
rather a pan rubbed on the inside xxith

lie Would Ilax'e His Joke.
A scientific man, while out in a boat
recently, near Seattle, was caught in a
fog so dense that it xvas impossible to
see twenty feet ahead. The boatman
stopped rowing, saying that they must
wait for daylight or at least until the
fog should clear axvay, as they did not
know in what direction to steer.
Their passenger then shoxved Uiem
what benefit could be reaped, in an
emergency from a knowledge of cer
tain natural laxvs. He says: "I at
once stood up in tho boat and shouted.
Soon an echo came back. Pointing
in the direction from which it pro
ceeded, I said: 'There is the nearest
land.' Rowing halt a mile in a speci
fied direction, we soon reached the
shore. The fact upon which I acted
was this: air saturated with moisture
during a fog is a much better con
ductor of sound than xx-hen dry. Two
remits follew: sounds travel faster
sad hence the echo returns more
speedily, and the sound is heard more
distinctly. That would be unneces
sary here where there is rarely fog in
the river.

cident of this kind bronght to my at- J y 3 e,al

W. W.Story's poem, "The Letter of a
Roman Laxvyer in Jerusalem," says a
writcrin thetfo6c-Z)eiocrrt,in xvhich
Story presents the legal aspect of the
case'of Judas Iscariot, and suggested
that in betraying the Saxior he was
only attempting to gixre Jesus Christ
au 'opportunity to declare and prove
himself God, and that he only accepted
the thirty pieces of silver to gixe his
act the appearance of a betrayal for a
bribe. 1 laid aside the pamphlet con
taining the poem and picked up a
book, iu xvhich I found an article on
the ancient coins of the east,
aud one of the lirt things 1
read xvas that the "piece' of silx-er
of 2,000 years ago xvas the
name of a coin, and that its x-alue was
13 cents. It did not require much cal
culation then for me to see that the
price xvhich xvas paid Judas by the
Sanhedrim for betraying Christ was

have a strange effect upon me. btory
points to the fact that Judas carried
the pnblic purse aud could not have
been avaricious, or else hexvould not
have been trusted xvith his fund for
the ioor, for xvhich he rendered no
account to any one, yet lie betrayed
his master for S3J0. I had always
thought that "thirty pieces of silver'
meant some largo amount, and the
statement astonished me xvhen I read
it, but on referring to a work on
numismatics I saw that Ihc "piece of
silver' of Jerusalem xvas about the
same x'alue as the "ore piece" of Den
mark, xvhich is just 13 cents, so I sup
pose the statement is true.

No matter xvhat trade or
profession you choose you
xvill easily detect the men of
original ideas; the men xvho
push themselves uml the town
they live in ahead; men who
are a credit to their profession
and the community they live
in : hut you arc also sure to find
the imitators, those xvho are
at the rear end of the proces
sion, men xvho never have an
original, bright thought or do
an origin.il, bright act. If let
alone they xvill exist on xvhat
liberal, unsuspecting people
permit themselves to be rob
bed of; but no sooner does
the original, enterprising man
make a move, and the imitat
ing tail-ender tries to benefit
by his superior's genius.
Note the weak attempts of
the old-styled shops to imitate
