HARD TO FILL THE ORDERS It Is Expected the Sliortag-e Will Be Considerably More Than Has Yet Been Estimated. Astoria, Or., 10 p. m., 28 June, 1896.-The features of the week here have been the totally unprecedented falling off In the run of salmon, and the very noticeable stiffening in prices for all grades of goods, consequent on the fast growing knowledge in Eastern centers that th pack is going to be a great deal short of expectations. Demands for goods are as lively as ever, but on account of slack returns, none of the canneries have been able to keep up with orders though stocks are moving out as fast as carloads can be got together. From about an even pack with 1894 to the end of last week, on the lower river, the ratio has dropped during the past seven days con siderably, and In this locality cannerymen are beginning to run behind. A lack of business amounting almost to stagnation exists on the upper river and not more that 1200 cases have been packed at the Cascades and The Dalles from all sources since our last report, bringing the total up-river pack to about 20,000 cases, a loss In comparison with last year tn that vicinity of 76 per cent. Blue backs, while showing upa little better than before, are still a month behind time and give no signs of catching up to any extent before the season closes. A suffi cient quantity of them have been mixed with the Chinook catch in the past few days to bring the average weight of all varieties down to 26 pounds. A promi nent canneryman today talking of the slackness stated that sixty boats came in yesterday to one of the middle river establishments with 600 lbs of fish between them an. average of half a fish to the boat, when two weeks ago boats were averaging- 15 and 16 fish each. Steel heads are beginning to appear In the river, and are of excellent quality. Tak ing all the contrivances, traps, seines and gill nets together, the traps are at pres ent doing the best work, though "best" is a misnomer when applied to such poor returns as are being sent In from them. Altogether present conditions tend still further than ever to verify our con stantly repeated prediction of a shortage on the Columbia from 60,000 to 100,000 oases. With 60,000 more cases going for eign than last year and a pack so short as this season's Is certain to be, the do mestic market will, without doubt, be a very long way behind. Even with a run from now on as good as last year's (an Improbability to say the least) this condition will remain unaltered. The fishing is so poor that a large number of men engaged in gill netting are beginning to leave here and travel to San Fran cisco to get to the Sacramento river in time for the fall fishing in that stream, which begins next month. A pleasing feature of the work of 1896 so far has been the remarkable absence of serious cusualtles among fishermen, and in this respect the year has a decided advantage over any previous season's operations. Work on the Fraser River Is well under way and the season will undoubtedly be a poor one. Our Victoria correspondent says that fully 100,000 cases of the pack have been already sold to foreign markets with all sales not yet closed. It Is not believed, however, that the total Fraser river pack will come to more than 200,000 cases, and we cannot see how Eastern Canadian markets are going to fare with the small 'balance that will be left them Some of the larger canneries will make a determined effort to hold prices for Eastern delivery higher than they have been for some years. Fraser River stand ard brands hav been selling In Toronto and Montreal at $4.40 to 34.50 per case, and It is believed that 85.00 will be ob tained later on. If report speaks truly, the Alaska Packers' Association has sold every can of Red Alaska salmon it can pack this year at prices that, under pres ent low freight rates through the Isth mus, or by railroad via the Gulf, mean from 97VjC to 31.00 from this coast. We quote today, as follows: Readers will no tice a few marked . changes in some prices spring catch straight Chlnooks, S1.30 to for tails, and $1.60 to $1.67 for flats. Two-pound regular talis with key, $2.10; Bluebacks, 1-lb. tails $1.32, 1-1 b. flats $1.50; Chinook ovals, for export market closed; for home consumption, $1.87 to $1.95 for small lots already sold. Buyers have been hore during the past week, and though advantageous offers have been made for ovals, It has been im possible to purchase. Packers who put out this class of goods to any extent have got all they can do to fill orders already received. ' TO BLOCK THE GAME. Northern Pacific Attempt to Kill Port land's New Line. A dispatch from Tacomi says that a prominent Northern Pacific railroad man has . declared that the object of the Northern Pacific steamship line In cut ting rates to the Orient from $6 to $1 per ton Is for the purpose of killing off the new steamship line from the Orient to Portland. "I doubt If this new line," said he, "will send a second boat over. Its first boat brought only about twenty tons of freight for Puget sound. Hereafter the Northern Pacific line will keep a steamer "all the time In Yokohama, and It will catch all the freight" as It comes along. If the new line to Portland does send a second boat, It will have to carry freight for nothing.' "The Northern Pacific line will not per mit a new line of steamers to enter the field, as it Is understood the object of the new line Is to carry freight to Port land and have the Great Northern oarrj It east via Spokane, -the O. R. & N. car rying It as far as that point. On that deal the O. iR. ft N. will reallxs about 6 cents per ton." It is estimated that the Canadian Pa clfloj the Northern Pacific and the San Francisco Oriental lines will combine to freexe out the Portland line. In view of the fact that Fresldent mil, of the Great Northern, is In New York conferring with J. Pierpont Morgan and others In relation to the organisation of the Northern Pacific, it would seem that the Utter named road might have something to say about killing the new line. It Is well understood that Mr. Hill Is behind the O. R. & N. In the maimer, ance of the new Oriental line of steamers to Portland, the first one of which, the Chlttagong, arrived this week. If Mr. Hill Is to take part In the control of the Northern Pacific, as seems to be an 61 sumed fact, he will hardly permit that line to Interfere, with one of his pet schemes. ' ' ' THE SOCIAL PYTHIAXS. Interesting Gathering on Wednesday. In response to the Invitations addressed ty the committee to the members of the order of K. of P. and their ladles, quite a large number of ladles and gen tlemen congregated at the K. of P. castle to partake of Pythian hospitality and to discuss the advisability of organizing a temple of Pythian Kathbone Sisters. The two tables extending the entire length of the hall were- occupied by a Jolly lot of people- who enjoyed the coffee and cake, strawberries and cream and witty remarks by different members pres ent. Postmaster Herman Wise acted as mas ter of ceremonies, and he was as full of fun as Peck's bad boy is of p".aylng tricks on his pa. Mr. Wise gracefully welcomed the sisters and brothers (especially the former) and then proceed ed to explain the objects of the Rath bone Sisters. Mr. Wise had a way of un expectedly calling upon some unsuspect ing brother and then Introducing him with a few remarks, succeeding In mak ing the boys defend themselves. Brother Barrett, prosecuting attorney of the district, entertained the assem blage by relating his experience in Join ing the order of Pythian Sisters, of which he Is also a member; Brother Past Grand Chancellor Cleveland delivered the principal address of the evening, for which he is especially fitted on account of his ripe experience as a knignx ana also because he 1s peculiarly fitted as an orator. Brothers Danlelson. Pohl, Rubin, Olsen and several others present spoke briefly, and about twenty of the ladles present signed the petition for a charter of the Rathbone SlBters, which will be forwarded to Grand Chief Hewitt at Albany as soon as the committee secures the signatures of several other ladies who desire to become charter members, but who could not be present at the meeting, After P. C. C. J. Curtis had given an exhibition of his famous after dinner farce, entitled "Out Went McGlnty," the audience rose and sang the closing oae. The meeting then adjourned, all present expressing themselves as having enjoyed a pleasant evening. KNIGHTS OF THE MACCABEES.

Our Debts Abroad Need Not Worry Any bodyAdvantages of an Influx of Foreign Money. Our foreign debts are a great source of worrlment to the free coinage people. Every instance of bonds sold abroad is taken up by them to prove that our prop erty is passing into the hands of foreign ers, that Germany, France and England will soon own this country and that we cannot possibly pay our interest to them In gold. Strangely enough it never seems to occur to them that the Americans who are selling this property may be getting full value for It. And yet when you meet one of these Americans who has Just completed a-sale to a foreign syndi cate he never seems dejected. If any body In America has lost anything by the sale he must be tho man, but who ever saw an American struggling to escape from the clutches of an English syndi cate who were trying to buy his proper ,y. The fact Is theso political economists act upon the theory that this property passes to the foreigners without consideration, whereas the question of consideration Is well looked after by the Americans Im mediately interested. That Is not a mat ter requiring government supervision. The United States has been greatly ben efited In the past by the flow of European capital hither for Investment. It has hastened the development of the country, reduced the cost of transportation, in creased the value of weste'rn farms and lowered the rates of Interest. A recently Issued little book entitled "Coin at School In Finance," by Geo. E. Roberts treats this subject In an effec tive manner. It gives a clever "take off" on Coin's notorious "school." The fol lowing quotation Is properly enough put into Coin's mouth and the nonsense of It exposed as follows: Your plan," shrieked Coin, "Is to pay our debts by making new ones. Your prosperity means money coming in from abroad, so that we can borrow more money. I say that I don't want to see another dollar of foreign money come here; It means that we must either pay Interest on It, or give up some of our property for It. We are mortgaging or selling (the two mean, the same thing) the birthright of our children." And Coin's eyes glared, his hair stood on end, great drops of perspiration stood on his face and he looked like a man with a nightmare. The blmetalllst looked at him with curiosity. Then he addressed Mr. Miller, 'the leading Eagle Grove citizen who had been In constant attendance. "Mr. 'Miller, If an Englishman should arrive here tomorrow with $100,000 to build a plow factory In Eagle Grove, would there be any riotous demonstra tions?" "Well," said Mr. Miller, smiling. "I don't know but you might call them such. The whole town would turn out to wel come him. We would give him a ban quet, present him with a tract of ground for his establishment, exempt him from taxation for ten years and furnish him free water from the city plant." "But haven't you learned from Coin that the profits from this factory for all time would go to swell our gold ex porter' "We would let the gold exports take care of themselves and welcome the factory." "But suppose," said the blmetalllst, thoughtfully, that this Englishman should find that he could do better with his profits here In Eagle Grove than by tak ing them back to England, and should announce In due time that he would build an oatmeal mill here. Would you tol erate ltr' The eyes of the Eagle Grove audience sparkled with delight and humor. It was evident that the Englishman would have no prejudices to overcome. "And i suppose." said the btmetalllst, continuing, "that he should conclude that instead of taking the Income from the two establishments to England, where Interest rates are very low, to lean It in this country to younger and enter prising men who desire to embark In similar enterprises, or to men like Gov. Altgeld, who wanted to put up sixteen story buildings, but had money enough for' only eight stories. Would your con sideration for the birthright of your chil dren permit thlsT "I think no obstacles would be put In the gentleman's way," and another smile went around the audience. "Now," said the speaker, "this shows how simple and harmless these move ments of capital are when examined In detail. The enterprise and bargains of individuals ore behind them all, and they are controlled by laws that are beyond the power of syndicates and govern ments. Money has come to this coun try from abroad for the same reasons that millions of sturdy worklngmen have come, viz: because It could earn more here than there, and the governments or syndicates of Europe can no more draw it away from us while that condi tion remains than they can draw back the men who have bettered their condi tion here." "You can't draw all the money of the world into one country any more than you can partition the Atlantic and pump one side dry. England leaks gold at every pore after enough Is plied up there to depress interest rates. Coin seems to labor under the Impression that gold runs Into England but never out. He thinks they eat it, or hoard it In their cellars. That is a mistake." "I think nothing of the kind," said Coin. "I know that all people like to keep their money In use. But I say that when the Englishman puts his gold out again it Is for something that will In crease It, and that his class, whether they live In England or elsewhere, are getting richer and richer, and In the natural course of present policies will own the earth." "Just as our Eagle Grove Englishman might come in time to own the United States, even though every man who did business with him profited by him?" In terposed the blmetalllst. Coin was silenced. His logic had car ried him to an absurdity. Large numbers of Japanese laborers are arriving at California ports and swarm ing into the labor markets. It Is said that during the lost year 10,000 o them have secured1 employment to the exclusion of white laborers. The Japs can have all the fun they like with, the Chinese, but the Japanese Invasion of the United States is goring another ox altogether. Ex.
