C, correspondent writes as follews: "The Skeeua river canneries arc just now enjoying the best salmon run for years, but unfor tunately cannot use all the fish, owing to shortness of hands. One cannery has had to throw away as many as 300 or 400 lish. On the JSaas tne run is not so good. The B. A. P. and the Standard head the pack on the Skeeua, each having about 11,000 cases up; the other canneries on the river average about 8,000. On the Naas the average is 0,000 cases, and the packers are wait ing for fish. The run on the Fraser river is a failure." Manager Baynor of the "Hoquiam" proposes to have a ball and banquet at the hotel the first ot August. He will run a large ocean passenger steamer from Portland and Astoria for excursionists, and will endeavor to make the affair one of the grandest successes ever witnessed in this sec tion ot the oountry.

Editer: Although my taxes are imall, yet they are as burdensome, to ine as If I paid much more. And as a tax-payer, Iifecl that I have a right to criticise those, extravagances that are factors in tho crea tion ot high taxes. I have in my mind tho county hospital. No sooner docs the im pecunious citizen become broken down and debilitated, than he rushes off to the hospital. Even persistent dyspepsia and constipation are getting to be excuses for admission. Hence, allow me space to enter my feeble protest against further continuance of thU pernicious practice. It costs too many hard dollars for the treatment of these unfor tunates, and It ls.hlghtlme that they should know that they can save the county that ex peuse, by the judicious uso of a few bottles of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, a remedy that within my observation is a sovereign cure for those too common disorders. If they won't take it they ought to be compelled to by some law that would meet the case. Under the circumstances a full hospital is Inexcusable, hence this growl. A CITIZEN. In thcDuluth (Minn.) Herald tr July 10th, appears the following men tion of the Russian vice-consul, who left here a few weeks ago. Gustaf Wilson, vice-consul of Rus sia, was a notable personage in town to-day. Mr. Wilson is a naturalized Amencau, having lived 111 this country for forty-live years, spending most of his time in Oregon. As he has been instrumental iu bettering the condition of Finnish immigrants, Fin laud being his native country, the Russian government appointed him its representative on the Pacific coast. Mr. Wilson is now en route to Russia for an extended visit. ''To all intents aud purposes I am an American," said the vice-consul to a reporter. I was appointed vice consul by the Russian government to lake care or my countrymen who emi grate here. There are now in the United States 50,000 Fins. They have settlements in Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio. 1 am at present gathering data for presentation to the authorities regarding the condition of the Fins. I go to-night to Calumet, Mich., where there are three Finnish papers published. 1 then go to Ashtabula to meet the ed itors of other papers, and collect mat ter for mv reiorts. I will travel through Finland, telling my countrv inen of the glorious advantages of this country, but especially those of Ore gon. 1 1 is my opinion that the re ports of Russian prison outrages arc brightly colored and sensational. The international prison congress is now in session at St. Petersburg, and there the matter will probably be sif led to the bottom. The Russians have cus toms, ot course, that we deprecate here iu America and would not think of doing. But comparing the difference in the customs, bringing up and nature of government between Russia and America I think that the prisoners of the European country do not realize the harshness of treat ment that Americans would under similar conditions. The Russians are anxious for progression towards high civilization. But all this takes time, and when one thinks what Russia has been and what she is to-day, a remark able progress can be seen. Alexander IL invited tho prison congress to meet in St. Petersburg the time of the last congress in Rome. When he said that Russia wanted to advance in civiliza tion, he voiced the sentiment ot all Russia." lEcmarlcihlc Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainlield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her hums; she was treated a month by her family phy sician, but grew worse. He told her ilie was a hopeless victim of consumption ami that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to lierdelight found herself benefited from first dose. She contin ued its use, and after taking ton bottles found herself sound and well, now does her housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this great Discovery at J. W.
