tho Seattle, Wanh., district, and E. E.
Mork, of the Salt Lake district, maTTe
their reports one and all of which show
ed an increase In membership of the
Norwegian portion of the Methodist
Church. Interesting "talks and discus
sions were had during the day and much
good Is being accomplished besides the
spreading of broad ideas and the engen
dering of unity of action In churchi meth
ods. In tihe evening BteWop Bowmam deliver
ed an address on tho subject of the

went there he was not aUowed to preach
but the people did permit the minister's
wife to talk to them, and now there Is

have been built by the people them
selves, nothing being purchased but the
nail's.

SITE FOR A DEPOT.
The Question Discussed at a Well Attend
ed Meeting.
Last nlglht at the Chamber of Com
merce ai meeting of property owners
m bnivetys, Adair's and MciQIure's Addi
tions was held to consider the matter of
a donation to the raKroad of a depot
Hue.
The meeting was orra.nlzed by the elec
tion of Judge Bowlby as Chairman, and
u. vvingiate eecretary. Among tho gen
tlemen attending were J. Q. A. Bowlb.v,
W. B. Adair. Ed. Taylor, Dr. J. A. Ful
ton, c. S. Wright, J. W. Welch, I. Berg
mani D. Welch. Grant Trilllnger, Mr.
Young, of Alderbrook, D. M. tSuart, and
Jas. Finlayson.
Mr. D. Welch took the floor and said
that he thought that at least 2,400 feet
should be offered, so that no excuse couCd
be had for not accepting the proposition
Deeanse or lack of ground. He guaran
teed that he could gat the 2.400 feet east
of the O. R. and N. dock in five days if
Mr. 'Hammond would say that he would
take it, tout that it must be understood
that It was subject to certain conditions
as to work, etc. Judge Bowlby suggested
that tha proposition be put in writing
so that it could be properly considered
by Mr. Hammond; that several, Includ
ing !hlmse'.f and Mr. Parker, had offered
a good deal of water front In the Clat
sop 'Mill district for depot purposes with
out conditions; that nothing definite bad
been heard aa to what the Ca-tson Mii'l
woul'J do; that Dolptv and Dell would
probably come in; that It was conceded
by all that the only location for the
depot from a business standpoint, was
the central portion of the city. Locations
had been offered at Tongue Point, and
Smith's Point, and it was not likely that
Mr. Hammond would pay anything for
the privilege of stopping 'his trains in
the ofty, and that It was of the utmost
Importance that the business men pro
vide ample facilities in the central por
tion of the city for the transaction ot
aill business, and not merely secure a
platform for passengers to get on and
off the trains and let 'the main business
be transacted elsewhere. When the Great
NorMwrn was recently being built tHe
Spokaine people donated $1,000,000 for a
depot lte, wnen they already had two
railroads. I myscf was not originally
in favor of tha scftme, but If the great
body of citizen and business men are '
to be accommodated we must do some
thing for ourselves."
ur. r ui'ton sata tinat wiut him it was
business proposition, and that it was
not fair that the few owners of water
front at the only available spot should
have to bear the whole burden of the
expense. The depot wasi to be a benefit
to all alike and that property owners
throughout the city tCiould bear their
part of the burden, anJ that he and
others would be perfectly willllng to ex
change water frontage on an equitable
basis.
Many others made remarks In much the
same tenor, nnd on motion of Mr. J.
W. Welch, J. Q. A. Bow'.by, -D. Welch,
Dr. J. A. Fulton, G. Wlngate, and W.
B. Adair were appointed, a committee to
take the matter up among property own
ens and report at the next meeting Mr.
Wek'lh suggested that the proposed de
pot site be districted and that lines be
drawn .through all contlnguous property
In each direction and that each member
work on certain lines with the property
owners covered. He also stited that be
thought It was a matter of general Inter
cot, and responsibility on the part of aK
taxpayers and that he would be in favor
of the -city spendifrig S30.000 'n tho matter
and that the council, under the charter,
had the rltrht to do so. "I don't think
Mr. Hammond enn be expected to upend
a dollar for depot punpaies 'here he
might make a mere stopping place In the
city and the main "business be done else
where. Tho Lord helps those who Jielp
tlwmselves."
The meeting tdjourned till tonight, at
the same time and place.

An Astoria Man Describes the
Season's Work.
FAIR
AVERAGE
RUNS
How the Fitjh are Protected and the
Industry Fostered by the Cana
dian Government.
Mr. Gust. Holmes who has lately re
turned from the Skeena River, B. C,
where he has been managing the Ang'.o
Brltteh Columbia Packing Co.'s cannery,
was visited yesterday by a representative
of tho Aetorlan. He talks in an interest
ing way about operations in the North.
He said:
"On the Skeena River we hive ex
perienced three short seasons. Nothing
of the kind has ever been known before,
and I beMeve that It Is a sign of the dl
mlntlon in the runs of the fish. The
salmon we catch on tne Skeena Is ex
actly the same aa the Fraaer river cock
eye. It Is the best salmon in Britlstti
Columbia, and commands the highest
price. Wo have a email fish as weil
that runs earlier in the season. It has
no generic name, but we call it spring
salmon. There lias been a large quan
tity of this species caught during the
present season. It is both white and
red In color, and the latter is most ex
cellent eating, the only draw-back to its
succesa in the market being that it
bleaches after cooking. Although It Is
very rich in oil this particular change
kills It aa far as prices are concerned.
For several years buyers would not take
the ftshi at all, but this season a good de
mand has sprung up again, and we have
been packing them In flats and ovals.
"Most of the Skeena product Is mar
keted In England, Australia, and Canada,
but very lit tile has been sold In the latter
country this year. We get the best
prices from England, though cheap Al
aska fish forms a big competitor. The
offal from the canneries on the Skeena
Is thrown Into the river. There was a
great fright about this last year, but as
there was a government election coming
on and the party in power wanted all the
votes they could get the matter was al
lowed to rest. We commence to fish on
the 13th of June for sockeyes, and are
allowed to continue until the fliBt of Sep
tember, but we really finish operations
by the first of August. The weekly close
season begins at 6 o'clock Saturday morn
ing and finishes at 6 o'clock Sunday
night. There are two fishery guar.llans
who see that this law is strictly enforced.
No traps, seines, or similar appliances
are al.owed except in salt water inlets
where seines may be used. The length of
gill nets Is limited to 200 fathoms for
sockeyes. There are nine canneries on
the Skeena river.
"The extra run on the Fraser river
this year is thought by some people to
be caused by the effects of the hatchery.
This supposition is a natural one, as the
hatchery has been in existence for sev
eral! years and is doing good work all
the time. It Is conducted by the jovern
men't and run at a very sma.!l expense.
The Skeena river cannerymen are peti
tioning the govetmment for a hatchery
on that stream and it is probable that
they will get it.
"The old question of whether the salm
on ever returns to sea after spawning
Is being threshed out considerably in
British Columbia. I aim a firm believer in
the theory that they do. und have con
siderable evidence to prove it. Last year
we cauirnt several spring fish weighing
"0 pounds, and right alongside of them
fish of the same variety weighing on'y
about 3 pounds, both contained soawn
and there was no doubt at all that the
liirger fish hiave been in and out of the
river several times, while it was the
first trip of the small ones. The Indi
ans all agree that this is the case and,
as they have been fishing for salmon for
many generations and have watched their
habits a great deal more carefully than
the white man, they ought to know some
thing about It."

From the records of the order It is
learned that American Odd Fellowship
was instituted in the country April 26.
IS 19, when Washington Lodge No. 1 was
organised at Baltimore, Md. For many
years It was confimd to a few states,
and it was not until December 4, 1843.
that a lodge of the order was Instituted
In Detroit.
Captain Williams also claims to be 89
years of age and to have Joined the or
der when he was but 18 years of age.
Opposed to these clalmo are the facta
that in the application made by Captain
William's admission to the Odd Fellows'
Home at Thermallto by California Lodge
No. 1, of which he is a member, bis age
Is glverpas 79 years, and that at no time
and in no place has any person been ad
mitted to membership In the order who
has not attained his majority.
The?e apparent mistakes made by Cap
tain Williams are attributed to defective
memory attendant to old age.
The oldest living Odd Fellow upon this
coast and probably In the world is
"Uncle" George Lord, of San Brnardino,
who was Initiated In 1S33, and who recent
ly celebrated his 95th birthday.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Value of Pains's Celery Compound to the Sick
and Nervous.
i
The burdens of life are not equally
borne by men and women.
Women too often suffer from' some
weakness that was never intended for
them by nature.
When trouble or hard work or excite
ment have rendered the nervous system
so morbidly wide-awake that tlecn Is
denied, the ovor-tkred brain must be
helped to get quickly back to its healthy
normal condition or serious mischief en
sues.
Paine' celery compound accomplishes
thus as nothing else has ever done.
It at once begins to regulate and equal
ize the over-wrought nerves and to re
store to them their lost tone.

"I took Paine's celery compound for
dyspepsia, nervousness and sleepless
ness," says Lille B. Smith, of Wlllatms
ton, N. J., "and I can recommend It as
a good medicine. As a result of taking it
I feel better than I have for several
years."
Palne's celery compound is a perfect
nerve food. It quicki'.y feeds weakened
parts, removes all irritation, allows the
rest from pain they need so badly, and
restores aK the myriad deep-lying nerve
parts aill over the body to a healthy,
quiet working. This is the way this
remaYka'ble Unvlgorator makes people
well.
Reports of Its mairvellous working
come from cities as far apart as New
Orleans and Montreal. There Is not a
town luirge enough to Btand on a rail
road map that has not contributed some
'word of warm praise and gratitude to
me greatest nerve and blood remedy of
this stirring end of the 19th century.
