The newly elected fish commissioner of the United States cannot be too highly commended for the action he is taking in regard to the propagation of salmon In the Columbia river. Two or three months ago he sent Special Agent Wilcox here, who made a careful ex amination of the situation here and forwarded to Washington an elaBorate report. Upon receipt of this report, the commissioner telegraphed M. J. encourage the work at every turn and Insist upon their congressmen lending every possible aid at the national cap ital. If the subject Is dropped or pass ed over casually, it will certainly be one of the greatest mistakes ever made in this city. N'ot only those who are engaged In the fishing business, but every merchant and business mn should put his shoulder to the wheel and render every service now that the best opportunity presented in twenty years is at hand. Strike while the Iron is hot, and success will surely come. CANNON BEACH. 17. 1C Cannon Beach, Or., Aug.

Arrange ments are progressing for the reception of LI Hjng Chang when he arrives In this country on August 28. The Chin ese minister and his suite will go to New York to receive the Earl, by which title LI Hung Chang Is known among! his countrymen of rank. Ex-S-cretary lightlul cottage by the sea may be; John W.

Later he sent! a buggy, with Victor on horseback, we other agents to look Into that panic-; drove down to Mrs. Fyrd's, wlire we ular part of the subject, and nnahy.met a large party from Lewis and sent out Dr. U. O. Fox and Mr. B. W. Evermann with authority to establish the first hatchery. These gentlemen the 27th to take part In the r-c-ptIon Besides the visits to Washington and Philadelphia, which LI will make, strong efforts are being made to have his trip extended to Boston, where reception will be given him. The first arrangements were such as to make the .Boston visit Impossible, but It is felt among the officials hre that after Clarke river, three wagon loads of old J his arrival some changes will be made so as to permit the Boston trip. General Miles and others representing various branches of the government, j and young folks out for a good time, i After enjoying one of Mrs. Byrd's ex- after carefully examining the entire i cellent dinners, we all strolled up to subject and making further personal j Oarhart Park to get our share of! will confer with the Chinese minister Investigation, decided to locate the first I those loads of clams so kindly provld-j here as to the arrangements for his hatchery at the Cascades, and the work; ed by Dr. Kinney.

As to the clams well, I don't tint hatchery will be In good working care much for clams, so will refer you order.

Other hatcheries, the com-1 Lewis and Clarke friends, they return missioner says, will be established as j Ing home and we coming on for a rapidly as possible ot different points look at Cannon Beach. The drive from on or contiguous to the. Columbia river. If the fish commissioner energetically pursues the course which he has out lined, the benefits to Astoria and the Columbia river cannot be measured. The future wealth and growth of the city will more than be doubled, and the value to the community at large will be almost equal to that of the railroad. Dr. Cox stated when here that the commissioner was determined to re stock the Columbia river with one hundred million fish every year. In Tiew of all these facts It certainly be hooves the people of Astoria and Oregon to supplement the work of the commis sioner In every possible manner and as sist him In a practical way to secure the most eligible sites for hatcheries. Let this work be carried on carefully and on scientific principles, and In ten years' time Astoria's population will number 25,000 people as a result of the fishing business alone. Astorlans should the Seaside House to Elk Creek was made In an hour and three quarters,. The road Is very good except in spots, where the late rains have made a few bad mud holes. Just here I would sug gest that our county should take over the toll road and make It a free road. The settlers at and below Elk Creek are entitled to a free road. Coming straight along by Elk Creek we hoped to reach Hugg Point in time to drive around, but the tide was too fast for use and we left our buggy near an other Just north of the point and came over a good trail half a mile to the Austin House. Here we found Mr. Ward Sr., his son Ben and wife, with Mr. and Mrs. Wlngate. They had only arrived an hour ahead of us and were equally Impressed as ourselves, with the beauty of the drive from Seaside and the many grand pictures along the beach drive below Elk Creek. Indeed few of our own Clatsop county resl- be assigned to meet the Chinese states man and accompany him on his trip, It is probable, also, that a detail of troops from Governor's Island will take part In the reception at New York and that a troop of cavalry from Fort Myer will assist In the exercises here. At first It was Intended to rent entire house In Washington and equip it for the accommodation of the Earl and his numerous retinue, which em nraces twelve secretaries, and many servants. Owing, however, to the short ness of the stay here It has been de cided to quarter the guests at a hotel. THE MANDOLIN PIANO. The Wiley B. Allen Co., the largest and oldest music house.
