New and Interesting; Facts About Our Fish; tXPERT GIVfcS AN OPINION. He Makes Many Valuable Sugges tions to Men Engaged iu the Salmon Industry. Under instruction of Marshall McDon ald, United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries Dr. Hugh M. Smith piad a visit lo this city and coast last year tor tne purpose OH matting a study or tne fisheries of this region. His investiga. tions extended from San Diego bay to tne Columbia river, iiany new aud int. rest ing faces are contained in uis report to the department. In his general remarks on the Pacific coast fisheries, he saysi "The general commercial fisheries 01 the paciuc siuteB are ot more reveal on. gin man muse of any oilier cjaai section of tne country ana, w.iu lue exuptwu oi tne sa.iuou iisnu-y, liny are iea uex ve.oped uiuu any oilier regio.i. ievcr ineieoi, in tne period ot luiiyy years, during winch it uiay be said tne lieiiei icg 01 tne west coubt have existed, Ui industry Has attained great iinpuriui.ee a.iei now ranxs next to mat of inert Eng land and lttidaiu Ai.aut.c Siuus la ex tent and value. There stems no reason lo doubt thai the business wi.t assume vastly greater proportions in the neur future, altnough mere is cause to up. prenend a decwie in several important branches, as, lor Instance, tne salmon, the wnaie, the fui seal and the sea otter fisheries. "Th3 various phases of the fishing in. dustry of the west coast, Including Alaska, give employment to about 17,000 persons, the capital invested amounts ta about 88,900,000, and the annual value to the fishermen or the products taken la approximately 87,300,000. "The special fisheries which give this region much of the prominence It pos sesses are the salmon, the whale, the oyster, the fur seal, the shrimp, the cod, the crab and the herring, In the ordei named. The value of the salmon fishery is about equal to that of all other fish eries combined, while the canning industry-connected with the fishery has an annual output of but little less In value nun that of all the fishery products of the coast. The salmon are by far the most important fishery products ot Alaska, Oregon ami Washington, bui in the fisheries of California they are surpassed by the whales, oysters and shrimps." After detailing the story of how salmon trolling began in Monterey Bay In 1S93, the report goes on to say that in this yeaf the fishery promises to be more exten. slvely followed than last year. Profes sional fishermen owning boats and regu. lar boatmen will resort to the bay from more or less remote places. The season, it is stated, opens early in June. Dr. Smith then makes this Important conclu. sion: "An Interesting point connected with this subject Is that these are undoubted ly the fish that constitute a part of the fall run of salmon In the Sacramento river. Last fall the Sacramento river fishermen took a number of salmon In their nets which had .hooks in their mouths clearly fish which had been snagged In Monterey Bay." On the salmon Industry of the Columbia river the report says: "From 1866, the year in which the salmon canning Industry on the Colum. bia river was established, to 18M the quantity of salmon utilized for canning purposes was about 696,400,009 pounds and th? aggregate pack was about 10,833,800 cases, each holding forty-eight one-pound cans or the equivalent. The value of the pack to the cannera was about 861,700, 600." After calling attention to the diminu tion of the salmon supply of the Colum. Ma river the sentiment of those most J prominently Interested In the industry as to'the measures favored for the preserva tion of the salmon is shown in Interviews with nineteen canners, public men and state fishery officers, the canners pre. dominating. Of this number thirteen, favor extensive 'artificial propagation and a close season throughout the months of April and August. In writing of the sturgeon fishery of the Columbia river Dr. Smith says tli average groes weight of the fish is 100 pounds, though specimens turning the scales at COO pounds and even more ar not rare. In 1892 one weighing 800 pounds was taken off Oak Point, and In the previous year one weighing 61s pounds was caught near Kalamfl, this being probably the largest sturgeon ever taken on the west coast. Inquiries regarding the results of t'n. attempted acclimatization of the eel on this coast, says the report, are apt to elicit misleading Information unless great care Is exercised. In the San Francisco markets one learns that eels are not un frequently exposed for sale and that both salt water and river fishermen catch thetn occasionally, but an examination of the reported eels usually shows them to be lampreys. A faw true eels have been taken In California, but they are i now very scarce and seldom seen. 1 THE CAVALR? FLED. A Yankee War Expedient Suggests an Idea to Even Howell. . I "There was a matter that I forgot and which I meant to suggest to our war de. partment before I returned to Georgia." The speaker was Evan Howell of At- lanta, publisher of the Constitution. "The ' Id-a, was suggested to me," he said to a ' writer in the Star, "by th trick of a smart Yankee which I experienced dur- I in the war. Some of tmr men surprised a bunrh oT Yattkr raiders one day. The r.i.Kr. tmm wnau( a hif mile away.'' They -were in the front yard of a big plantation house at the time, and the j imament 'they ' noted us! streaming round a bend in the pike they leaped for their horses. Ohio of them, the tricky Yank I mentioned, stopped and picked up a bee gum, one of a dozen standing in the yard, and swung It up to bis shoulder. Then he climbed into the sad dle. Every Jump of his horse Jolted , a handful of indignant bees out of the hive, and it looked as if they never budged, but stood right still In the air "wonder ing what hod happened. And when we got up to them Che bees seemed to lay their troubles to us, and pitched Into us like rabid dogs. Not one ot our cavalry ever got further than the first bee. The whole outfit came streaming back and lit into us ar-d our horses, and made it so bot we had to turn and fly. That's what they did; Just simply stung us plumb out of the country, and the Yanks got away. "Now, I wasn't thinking of suggesting bees to Lamont as an adjunct to our military, but remembering my bee exper ience that day la North Ueorg.a, I was wondering why w shouldn't avail our selves of the old of animals more than we do in battle. My idea, was to organ ize a, dog regiment, say of a tnouBand dogs. I'd get good big stag hounds and cross them with the shepherd dog to get Intelligence. I'd take 1,000 of thesa and put ivo men with them, giving each man charge of ten dogs. 1 d train them to know tne enemy by dummies fixed up in the hostile uniaorm. It could be done. this last part, in a week. And I'd take tne dog regiment into the battle with me, Tney'd be easy to feed and easy to handle. I'd guarantee to wnip anything out infantry with my dog regiimnta, Cavalry wouldn't last a moment wltn 'em. They'd stampede the best cavalry brigade that ever hoard a buge. Of course, these l'H men would nave to be mounted. With the men lu the j ti the and their haif atagtiound half shep herd dog cohorts they d sweep a buttle field and stir up an enemy's line like a nest of hornets. As tor artillery, tiiese dogs would overrun a battery like a tor rent." TIME AND HANDLING SAVED. An interesting Experiment In a News paper OlHce. An unique and successful experiment was made at Louisville yesterday when the Associated Press telegraph news was taken from the wire directly by a type setting machine operator. The Introduc tion of the typewr.ter into the telegraph business has been a means of greatly facilitating the transmission of the press service ot the Associated Press, and s v eral newspaper men of New York con nected with the Evening Post and As sociated Press, have been experimenting of late with the view of. doing away with the typewriter, and substituting therefoi the llneotype machine, thus setting the news for the paper directly from the wire. Yesterday morning one of the Associ ated Press loops was run into the Even ing Post composing room, and B, O. Boyle, managing editor of the Post, and 'Hlchard Cogan, chief operator of the As sociated Press, who are both telegraph and llneotype operators, succeeded In re ceiving dispatches of the Associated Press and putting them in type directly from the wire. The experiment shows that the tele graph can be worked successfully with the typesetting machine, and a maximum rate of speed of fifty words a minute at tained. In an hour's work an average speed of thirty words a minute was main tained. THE LITTLE BOY'S PRAYER, From the Philadelphia Times. It was his first visit to church and his big brown eyes watched everything. He saw the newcomers drop their heads on the pew rails in front of them as they entered, and In a moment raise tflem again. "Why do they put tfhelr h?ad down?" he whispered to his older sister who was with him. "They say a little prayer," she whis pered back. "But they don't talk," argued brown, eyes, not convinced. "No, they htlnk." explained the an swer; and "Shall I think a little prayer?" was the next question. "If you like," was the reply; and thu big brown eyes were shut, -the small hands folded, and an earnest little fac dropped against the rail. In a moment or two the head was raised, and the little fellow crept back on the cushions. "I tried to think, 'Now I lay me,' " he whispered, "but I had to talk It, 'cause the words wouldn't stay down In my stummick. Will God careT" he finished, anxiously. WASHINGTON'S ADVANTAGE. . Klickitat Agriculturalist. Coming down the Columbia river on Sunday, says the Vancouver Columbian, the various fish wheels, nets and guar Ing present an unusual appearance. O 1 the Oregon side of the river everything Is quiet and still; the fish wheels are lift ed out of the water and nets are hung up to dry, while on the Washington side all is life and bustle Just the fame as any other day of the week. Thlt thought naturally forces Itself forward: If fishing on Sunday Is Inimical to future interests, the Washington ride should shut down; If not, Oregon men, who have thousands of dollars Invested in various kinds of gearing, should enjoy like privi leges with their neighbors acruas the river. The two states ought to agree upon a line of action or policy beneficial to the future of the salmon fishing in dustry, but perhaps they differ In theli opinions as to Just what that policy should be. At any rate for the present, the state of Washington, at least Its fishermen, have the better of it. A VALUABLE COIN. A well knyn bishop tells a story of a clerk at a village church who deliberate ly took half a crown out of the plate as he brought it up to the communion tabu and slipped it Into his pocket. "I saw him take it," said the bishop, "and intended to charge him with It at the end of tha service, but ctrrird away by the sublimity of the service I forgot all about it. Next day I remembered and spoke about It. " 'Oh, sir," said the clerk, 'never you worry about that. That half crown has done good service lor many years. 1 keep It to put down first, and then the gentry, seeing a poor man like me put la Cd in the plate, can't tor aname giv less.' "-London.

Jill HILL IN SEATTLK He Wants to Trade Flour for Rice. CHILI ON GOLD BASIS New Currency Plan Adopt? d-Olney to Succeed Greshara-U. P. Dis appointed In Decision. Seattle, June t. -Janus J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, who was here for six hours today, spent the most of his time in conference with Woo lien, tne JSeattle manager of the house of Wa c'nong Company, of Hong Kong, and made soarcn.ng inquiries respecting tne disposition of the cninese toward flour us an article of food. Woo Gen was ot me opinion mat if flour couid bo Uld down in China for S4Mi cents per sack of 50 pounds it could be sold at a proflt ot to cents by the elea.eTS and compete with rice. He thought that it the great masses of China once began to use uour tney .vouid not go back to rice ,and if it couiu be placed within the reacn of the labor ing cassea a deiiiand wouid be createa K larue that ail of ihe uour mills on tne Pacific coast could not suppiy one-tentn ol tne cans made on tnem. Hill s idea is to carry flour so as to titve it to tne Cnlnese tor i'j cents per pound and bring return cargoes of rice so as to suppiy tne markets here at 1ft cents per pound. CHILI ON A GOLD BASIS. Washington, June 4. The Associated Press cablegram announcing that Chill's new currency conversion law places that country on a gold basis, created much In terest here. Secretary Cruse, of the Chil ean legat.on, when asked today about th. effect the new law wouid have, replied: "No effect whatever on our bonds or outstanding loans, all of which are pay ab.e, principal and interest, in gold. But it will insure a stable currency. It is not expected that gold will circulate much in ord.nary commercial transac tions. Silver will be the medium, to gether with banknotes Issued substan tially on the United States' system. For three years the pres.dent is authorized to coin $10,000,000 of sliver annually and to negotiate for advances on the purchase money of nitrate beds. Silver wlil b a legal tender-up to ISO. In sums' ex ceeding -that amount It will be exchang aljle at the mints for gold at its market value." OLNEY 13 ORESHAM'S SUCCESSOR. ' Washington, June 4. Special to the As torlan. It Is now settled that Attorney General Olney will be Greshain's suc cessor. Senator Gray's visit to the White House was undoubtedly in response to a tel. gram from the president, who, it is be lieved, would not hesitate to offer Gray a place In his cabinet, were it not for th fact that his retirement from the senate would almost certainly result in the elec tion of a Republican successor, A long 1st of nanus is being d.scussed as to Olnty's successor, but everything in thol connection is purely speculative. ' Ex-Postmaster General Don M. Dickin son It is said would be very likely of the appointment if he would accept. A pos sibility is Mr. Holmes Conrad, of Vir ginia, the present sollcltor-goneral.

LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS. Eugene, June 4. A. S. Powers, who lives on the McKenzle river 60 miles from .iere, reports that about two weeks ago X man over 60 yeirs of aga, w'.ion r.ame oou.d not be learned, started from J'V.l ern Oregon alone to come arrets the mountains to tho Willamette Valley by the Santinm route.

Latest U.S. Gov't Report ready In the field, why should not the Democrats be there also? "We know of no reason other than that Senator Calvin 8. Brice, who apparently controls the chairman of the state committee, will not permit it. The reason for this is per fectly apparent Senator Brice, realizing that he Is not in harmony with the great majority of the Democratic party in Ohio upon the money question, wants time in which he can by political manip ulation and machinery control, if possi ble, the- declaration that the Democracy of the state will make upon this Issue In the convention. Judging from Informa tion received by the officers of the ex ecutive committee ,we are also led to be lieve that at least four-fifths of the Dem ocratic party ot Ohio are in favor of a re-adoptlon of the plank of last year ad vocating: the. free coinage cf gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
