The Alice Blanchard la due toiay from Coo. Bay. The average weight of fish caught yes terday was 30 pounds. The Electric has not yot returned from her Puget Island towing work. One carload of salmon was shipped to Pea Moines, Iowa, aboard the Uatzert last night. The Harrison leaves out for Tillamook this morning early. She shipped some new deck hands yesterday. The signal will be down from Portland on Saturday and after taking on a mis cellaneous cargo here will return to Van couver. The Fanehon, on her trip across the river yesterday, was well hidden from sight by a large Estey organ and a quan tity of miscellaneous etores. The government steamer Lincoln took care of the Mendell's barges yesterday and made some good sized tows. The Mendell continued her sounding work at the mouth of the river. The steamer Oregon arrived In from San Francisco yesterday afternoon and left up the river for Portland at 6 o'clock. She had eight pass.-ngers and a small quantity of miscellaneous freight for this city. The little fishing schooner Francine re turned to port yesterday morning with a ton of fine halibut In her hold. Ciptaln Olsen reports fishing as only fair at pres ent. His principal hauls were mad- In the vicinity of the mouth of the river. Messrs. Cilrns an! Clafke expect their lines and tackle down the river today for their new seining outfit. They have selected an excellent location Inside the Jetty and adjoining Oliver's grounds. They expect to start active operations by Saturday. Riports from all sources yesterday In dicate that the run of chlnooks is steadily Increasing and the gill netters at the mouth of the river have been reap ing a rich harvest since Monday. The weather on the' fishing grounds continues good, and fully 80 per cent of the boats are taking advantage of It. As the water in the river begins to pale the seiners are beginning to get to work again, and by Saturday It Is ex pected that all will be fishing steadily. Oliver is doing better than any other seiner on the river. On Tuesday ho de livered two tons of salmon, and yesterday he caught 3,500 pounds. Among these were only 100 pounds of bluebacks. Steel heads are beginning to put In an appear ance and this variety of fish is likely to increase in number gradually from this time to the end of the season. Alaska is to get a little benefit out of the late Trilby craze, according to the P. I. It's an HI wind that blows nobody good. The Seattle paper says: "The new ten-ton schooner Trilby will sail for Cook's Inlet, Alaska, in about ten days, H. Schwartz and John Cavanaugh, her owners, having some mining prospects there which they will work for at least . a year. Civil Engineer W. Maurice will go also to try to find a. pass across the Alaska mountain range, w-st of the inlet, into the Kusoqulm valley, which has never been fully explored." The Post Intelligencer of Tuesday siys that the first Installment of the machin ery and paran'iernal.a needed for dredg ing out the waterway and canal, In the shppe of a monster Uowers' dredger and thirty-two scows and pontoons, m king up a tow of a little over a quarter of a mile In length, has arrived in Seattle. The dredger In the tow is 4oo feet ior.g and thirty-five feet wide, and the largest ever In Puget sound. It Is a hydraulic suction dredger, using a rotary exca. vator, drawing the material up by a centrifugal pump and forcing It through a line of pipe -to whatever point miy be desired to deposlte the mat ter excavated. The company owns a sim ilar but larger dredger, which Is now at Portland, but is expected to he taken to the sound within the next six weeks. T3oth dredgers have done much work on the coast, the larger one having been used In San Diego harbor, and brought up the coast safely boxed up. When so boxed up these dredgers are able to weather the heaviest storms. The sealing fleet that went froni this coast early In the year let Japanese waters has fallen upon evil days, ami misfortunes seem to be crowding thick and fast on the various schooners that ventured so far westward. The Emma Louise. vkh Captain Alexander Mc-Leyj in command, called at Hakodate with six of a crew of dismasted Japanese schooner on board. The rescued men said their vessel was wrecked about 300 miles off the land and that they had remained by the dismantled hull until picked up. For ten days they had been without food and water. Captala Mc Lean set fire to the derelict schooner and remained by her until she sank, so as to prevent her being a danger to other vessels. The Emma Louise reported los ing tlyee of her boats while galling. One of them was afterwards picked up by the Therese, another was reported as being safe " on the schooner Bonanza, but the crew of the third had not been heard from when the Be'.glc sailed and It was thought that they had been lost. The Josephine, an American schooner, called at Hakodate to repair a leak. One of her seams on the port side opened out while her boats were out, and they had to be hurriedly called In and the vessel headed for land, fearing that the leak would be more dangerous than it proved to be when the schooner was put on the ways. Three men belonging to the schooner Eppinger were cast ashore about twenty-five miles south of Aomorl, and they were sent to Hakodate. They said they became separated from the schooner In a fog while hunting, and they were four days in the boat before they made land.

CULTURE OF CURRANTS IN GREECE The Garden and Field of Adelaide, South Australia, says in a recent is sue: "Our correspondent informs us that currant vines are always planted out (n separate blocks, laway from othea varieties of vines and never in the prox imity of .fruit trees, and more esp;clally olive trees, as the latter have been found to interfere materially with the growth and yield of. the vines. The vines which are generally planted about five feet apart each way, are trained as low bushes and never trelllsed. The vine yards are manured every three or four years with sheep or goat manure. The yield Is also augmented by the annual practice of rlng-barklng the stem; this operation weakens the vines considerably and ends by killing them. The vines generally begin to bear at the eighth year, the maximum results being obtained between the twelfth and the twenty-fifth year. The average yield of the vineyard varies greatly with the nature of the soil. Moist, low lying flats are said to yield heavier crops, but the finest cur rants proceed from rising ground and hill slopes. It Is estimated that three to four pounds of fresh fruit yield . one pounds of dried currants. It would ap pear that from 21 to 2J cwt. of dried cur rants are taken from an acre of good average land. The low lying flats of Pyrgos often yield 43 cwt. of dried fruitt the vineyards of Patras and Corinth from 21 to 36; whilst those of Vostlzza, whence proceed the finest currants, very nearly yield 36 cwt. of dried currants. It Is Mated that the currants remain on the drying floors from eight to ten days. ' The C03t of cultivation seems to be very great for a country enjoying cheap labor, rising as It does, according to tht, provinces, from 6 to 10 per acre. Th value of an acre of currant vines Is said to vary from 93 to 128. In the Vostlzza district they often fetch from 210 to" 288 per acre."
