BEN Y0UN&;S OPINION
BesardiuE Uib Fntnre or the Salmon
MarM,
.1 hiciir fo;:i:m:x hkkaxh.
T. ,,, r,. -, m i
inm., (L. O.), -uay 30. Len
Yonnx, the well-known salmon eaunor
of Astoria, Fraser river ami Alaska,
has returned from England, where he
. . ., ,.,- ,,,
went to ascertain the condition of the
market, which he found completely
demoralized.
To a San Francisco Chronicle1
, . , ., ,-,-, ,. , ,
correspomleut ne said : Junglisn
buyers claim that m the past two '
years tho shipments to the United ', value, or else not respecting the prop
ICingdom have been 800,000 cases, I erty of others, he destroyed -a largo
wheretis the consumption was only share of these manuscripts, among
100,090, or jttst al)out one-hnlf the
supply.
"At the retail buyer;' prices ruling
for tho past three years the con
sumption has fallen ofT greatly. Still
gooil brands are selling well.
uThe ruling price forliritish Colum
bia salmon on the English market is
2Gto2 shillings, and buyers of parcels I
of British Columbia fish are com
ing out about even. Columbia river
salmon is. quoted at 27 to 2S shil
lings.' Buyers stale that unless the packs
on the Fraser. and Skeena rivers aro
curtailed they will reduce tho demand
still more this year, and buyers are
much afraid their people will consign
for this season. Should this be the case,
the difficulties existing at present will
be increased. As yet the English mar
ket is the only one in Europe drawing
upon the salmon supply. It is, of
course, the principal distributing cen-;
ter. and in turn exports to East India. '
Africa, the .Mediterranean and parts
of several countries on the continent.
Germany is regarded as a prospective
market, the only thing to provent
salmon commanding a good market
there being the high tariff, which at
present is 10 cents on every pound.
A movement is on foot to secure a re
duction of this duty, and. if it should
be sit tended with success in the reich
stag, the fatherland will eventually re
quire large quantities of salmon. In
deed, Germany is regarded as one of
the best markets in the world.
In regard to prices this year, a com
bination has been formed by the prin.
cipal buyers in London and Liverpool,
who have decided not to buv before
August 1st, their object being to see
how the pack is going to turn out on
the Pacific coast. Mr. ioung says
many of the far northern canneries
have already combined to keep down
tho season's pack. For example,
whero three or fonr canneries are
located on one stream, only one will
be operated. According to the
amount of supplies taken up to Alaska
this season, it is probable that the
pack will not exceed 500,000 cases.
Last year it was in the neighborhood
of 800,000.
It every canncr will look at tho sub
ject in the proper light and curtail his
pack, it will iiot exceed 150.000 on the
Fraser river, against 100,000 last year.
Skeena river inlet and other canneries
in northern British Columbia will only
pack to meet the first visible demand.
About S0,000 cases constituted the out
put last year. This year it will not ex
ceed 60,000, according to the quantity
of supplies now going up. The only
salvation for the cannery industry will
be to cnrtail the pack this year.
Should it be above the figures named,
Mr. Young predicts disaster ahead,
and Bays many of tho canneries will
be forced to close up business.
The United States is at present the
only good market available, mainly on
account of the low prices prevailing.
The principal demand is for Alaska
fish, the greater part of this year's
pack of which will probably remain in
the United States, although a very
considerable portion is of inferior
grade. Of late years a trade in second
class brands has been worked up in
the Southern States. Two months ago
150,000 cases were warehoused at San
Francisco, but as the American mar-
Treasurer.
5
ket was bare last fall and low prices
are now ruling, all tliis Loltling has
been disposed of, and by the time this
years pack arrives this market will be
ready to receive its frill proportion.
V. II. (tray's "History of Oregon.'
The "Walla Walla Union is now
rnnning a long biography of the late
W. II. Gray, in serial form.
From the installment m the issue of
the loth, the following excerpt is
taken:
, "After he returned to Astoria in 18&1
he began writing his History of Ore-
gon A singniar incident was the
cause oE thid. After he had gone to
Fort Ilope, but vrhilo some of his
tllin' and especially his manuscripts
were left at Astoria, another man oc-
Cnnied the homo where they were
stored. Either not knowing their
these were Mr. Gray's early journals
Air. W. L- Adams had then recently
begun the publication of the Astoria
Marine (Juzette. He chanced to find
Mr. Gray's journal floating down the
river with a part of the leaves cut out,
it haiiug thus been thrown away.
He soon recognized its value, and
thought that there was something with
which to fill up his paper. Conse
quently he began its publication. Mr.
Gray revised this and followed it up
with other early history, with no
thought however at first of publishing
a volume. But the work grew until
it became a history of Oregon of six
hundred and twenty-four octavo
pages, from 1702 to 1819, ''drawn from
personal observation and authentic
information," and was published in
1870.

A Scarcity of Firecrackers.
Fourth of July nearly hero and not
enough firecrackers to go around!
That seems to bo the situation. There
was a strike among the firecracker
makers of China, and in consequence
there is only a supply of 150,000 boxe3
in this country. Tho ordinary sup
ply at this season is 1,000,000 boxes.
Now is just tho time to pass an ordi
nance forbidding the use of firecrack
ers. It would injuro no one's trade,
and would help to put an end to a
noisv and barbarous amusement. S.

A Constantly Changing Labor Society.
When tho union of seamen and fire
men was started in New York in
November, 1889, a president was
chosen, and in two weeks he was
before the mast on his way to
Valparaiso. A second was chosen in
December, and at the next meeting he
was on a clipper ship bound for Hong
Kong. Anotherwas chosen, a fireman,
and the next month he was firing on a
steamer in the Gulf of Mexico. It
was apparent that if tho union was to
havo a president out of its own ranks
it would have to pay one to stay at
home. But it was too poor for that,
and Hugh McGregor, who is a com
positor by trade, but who is now doing
clerical work in the American Federa
tion of Labor, was asked to act as its
president. It is said that President
McGregor is brought face to face with
a new set of men at every meeting,
the attendants at one meeting being off
on the high seas before the next meet
ing time comes around.
Historic Sound Crafts.
One of tho famous crafts on Pugot
Sound is the tug Politskofsky, owned
by the Port Blakely Mill company
However, no one ever calls her by her
long Bussian name, but speak of her
as "the Polly." She is the pet of the
company, but more especially of Capt.
Benton. She was purchased from the
Bussian government by the Port
Madison Mill company at the time
Alaska was bought by the United
States. She was at that time a gun
boat. After a few years she was sold
to her present owners. Another old
historic vessel lies off the shore of
Seattle opposite Bell Town. It carried
Ben Butler and his cohorts from
Boston to South Carolina during the
war. All that is left of this old trans
port The Mississippi is her hull
that shows up at low tide. Wealth of
the Northwest.

A Small Boy's Essay oh Breatkiaf,
The following heretofore unheard
of information in regard to breath and
breathing was made public in Ken
tucky recently by a school boy of
twelve years, who wrote an essay on
the subject: "We breathe with otul,
lungs, our lights, our kidneys and our
livers. If it wasn't for our breath we
would die when we slept. Our breath,
keeps the life a-going through the
nose when we are asleep. Boys who
stay in a room all day should not
breathe. They should wait until they
got out in the fresh air. Boys in a
room make bad air called carbonicide.
Carboniclde is as poison as mad dogs.
A lot of soldiers were once in" a black
hole in Calcutta, and carbonicide got
in there and killed them. Girls some
times ruin the breath with corsets
that squeeze the diagram. A big
diagram is best for the right kind of
breathing." M edical Classics.
