GOOD SALMON CATCH Yielded More Money This Year Than Last FISH WERE OF FINEST QUALITY Datallad K.tlroala of tha Individual Catena, and Conpariaoa VI Itfe Taoaa of Laat Vaar. Astoria, August 13. The fishing sea son just closed on the Columbia river has been a remarkable one in several partitiulais. While the run of salmon has been light and the pack is small compared with that of former year,, the price of raw fish has been aucb that more money haa been paid to the fish ermen, trapmen and seiner, for their labor than for several seasons. The quality of the fish caught has been ex ceptionally good, commanding thg highest market fignrea, and, notwith standing the advance in raw fish, tb packers have sold their product at price, which netted them a much bet ter profit than they received a year ago. Tbua, while the pack shows a slight falling off from tbatof 1899, the season of 1900 can be regarded as a more sue cegsftil one so far as the profits of all directly engaged in 'the industry ars concerned. Official figures show the spring pack on the Colnmiba river for the season of 18U9 to have been 278,000 cases. While it is impossible at this time to get exact figures, a carefully prepared estimate places this season's pack al 202,030 cases. This estimate is on a basis ( four doxen one-pound cans to the case. About 40 per cent of the to tal pack was put op by the Columbia River Packeni' Association, commonly known as the combine, which consists of a combination of 10 canneries. Be sides the above, there were 1,600 tons, or what would equal 60.000 cases, of salmon shipiied by the cold-storage men. The estimated pack of the indi vidual canneries, compared with the entimate at the close of last season, it as follows in cases: rannrrlo. 1,90. 1900. 2i.wJ .u 13. MW 2U.0UC 14.00C ft. 1X4 14.

It Will Save tha Paclfla Coast Million, of Dollar., It is Impossible to estimate the amount of money expended annually on the Pacific coast, or even in Oregon alone, for the replacement of wooden articles caused by atmospheric decay. The humidity of onr climate produces rnarvelog growth and greenesg, but it also causes rapid decay. The growing tree with sap filled veins endnres for ! centuries, but the felled timberof com merce, rapidly deteriorates whether employed on land or in water, in con tact with soil or exposed to the air. The truthfulness of this assertion cannot be denied. It Is within the knowledge of all who use wood; from the taxpayer of Portland, who sees bis bridge timbers, trestles and paving blocks drop with sickening rapidity into the limbs of thing, to be repaired at his expense, to the farmer on big ranch, who ig constantly lamenting the fiequency with which hie fence posts, bop poles, house supports, barns and sheds call for renewal and an aggra vating outlay of time, work and money. Are these ills remediable, or must they be endured by future aa they have been by past generations f This is a question of absorbing importance to urban and rural dwellers alike in the humid Pacific coast belt. Fortunately an encouraging response may be given to the inquiry. A certain German wood preservative known as Avenarius Carbolineum, ab solutely prevents decay and extends the longevity and usefulness of wood structures from one, two or at most five years to at least twenty. Avenarius i i.unr... i i i j j I vwuuiiiiduiu ui a uuvuiiu.1 wuuuer ana , is so recognized by goveinmenta and individuals all over the world. It ia , astonishing that a remedy of such value against tun her diseases abould have only recently found recognition in a section where its services are so im peratively demanded. Applied with a brush this remark able preparation penetrates to the very vitals of the article treated, acting like living sap and not only fights off decay, but adds a considerable percentage to the tensile strength of the structure. It ig apparently exempt from evapora tion, as the wbittlings of a gtick treated exhibit moisture years after ap plication. Now that actual experience in this territory has been added to the knowledge affoided by foreign testi monials, Avenarius Carbolineum is cer tain to become a staple commodity saving immense annual outlay in re pairs and adding very materially to the purposes for whioh onr leading pro duct, timber, can be employed. CUBAN JUDICIARY, Tha Havana Pre.. Aeeu.ea It of Cor ruption. Havana, August 11. The press nnanimonsly criticises and condemns what it terms the corrupt condition of the Cuban judiciary system. Bold chaiges have been made by the news papers that judges and' other members of the court have been receiving fees for cases coming to trial in the courts and which they themselves have to de cide. The Post charges the Cuban ju diciary wtih having a compact organi sation, extending over the entire sys tem, so perfect that "corruption is con ducted with absolute safety," and adds: "There are members of the courts who retain their law offices and leave the affairs of the offices to those who were their clerks befoie they were on the beucb. These cleiks arrange the details of representing the old clients of those judges aud arrange the fees, etc "Inthiswaya judge upon a 'bench decide, a case at i?sue while really rep resenting one of the parties to the suit, and the result may be imagined in each instance in which this ig the case." Tha Suit Agaln.t Naely. New York, August 11. General Henry L. Burnett, United States dis trict attorney, returned here today from Washington. He bad confer ence with Secretary of War Root and Attorney-General Griggs as to the fu ture course cf the government to be taken in the Neely case.

In the civil suit for wrongful conversion, the order of ar rest agitiust Neely will be vacated, but the suit itself will be pushed for the recovery of the money. Tried to Rob a Dying Man.

Ferreil, a former employe of the Adams Express Company, was arrested this afternoon in this city, and con fessed to the killing of Messenger Lane and the robbery of the way safe of the Adams Express Company, on the Penn sylvania east-bound train Friday night. One thousand dollars of the money he stole waa recovered. Ferreil was to have been married Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow, daughter of an engineer on the Pennsyl vania line. He had been discharged from the employ oi the Adams Express Company, and confessed that the motive of the robbery wag to secure money for the approaching wedding. The money recovered he had given to Miss Costlow to keep for him, saying he bad saved it from his earnings. Ferreil is bnt 23 years of age. He was at the home of his afiianued and in ber company when placed under arrest. When the officers took him into custody he assumed a nonchalant de meanor, but when be found that ne could no longer carry out the decep tion, he made a full confession. After his statement had been taken by Chief of Police Tyler and he waa led to a cell in the police station, he was in a state of nervous collapse, and orders were given that he be watched closely to pre vent his doing himself bodily injury. The confession of Ferreil disclosed a premeditated and blood curdling crime, almost impossible to believe. He said he bad become desperate because of his inability to secure employment and a realization of the fact that he must have money to defray the expenses of his approaching marriage. The rob bery, including tbe murder of Express Messenger Lane, had been planued carefully. Ferreil bad no accomplices and no confidants He knew Lane well. In fact, they were frieuds, and he re lied upon Lace's confidence to help him execute the .cryue. He knew that considerable money waa always carried by the messenger between St. Louis and Columbus, and that be was certain to secure a large gum if be rob bed the way safe. Nino Struck hj Lightning.
