The Columbia River Salmon Fisheries.

The greatest salmon fisheries in the
United States are those on the Columbia
River in Oregon. The business OF catch
ing and canning and exporting them,
near the mouth of that river, is i'm
mense. On recent day, single haul
of a net at the mouth Of the Columbia
brought in ITO large, fine salmon. which
were sold to the canneries for 80 cents
apiece, or probably less than two cents
pound. Atanarrow point in the Column
bia, two or three miles above its mouth,
we have seen the salmon so thick in the
river that there were more salmon to be
seen than water. They were struggling
and fighting their way up the stream,
eagerly attempting to leap falls from II
to ID feet high. a few succeeded, the
most fell back and repeated their effort.
Meanwhile the Indians, with sharpened
sticks the length of bean-poles, stood
upon the bank and successfully speared
the fish. The rocks along the banks
were thick and the air foul with the rot
ting entrails and the dying bodies. 1t
was the fish harvest season for the Indi-
ans, who were laying in their winter
supply; but it was science full of life
and picturesqueness-which has made
it much harder than it was before to
pay 60 cents pound for fresh salmon

ing held Monday morning at an early
hour, voted to remain out until their de-
mands are acceded to. The meeting
was called by the Chairman, P. Swee-
ney, and was attended by about 1, 900
miners and laborers. The object Of the
meeting was to consider the reply of
President Hoyt to their recent demand
of 23 per cent. advance in their wages,
and to take action thereon. Besides the
Pennsylvania Coal Company's employees
there were present at least 200 or 300
outsiders, a few of whom were drawn
thither by curiosity, but most of whom
came in the capacity of bul-dozers, :"
in which they subsequently demonstra-
ted great prCficiency. The men sat up.
on the grass in large sweeping circles
facing the Chairman, who stood In the
centre and exercised remarkable influ-
ence in keeping order. After the Pres
ident had stated the object of the meet.
ing it was moved that branch meetings
of the various collieries represented be
held, apart, as Il conclusion would thus
be arrived at that would be worth some.

decision, ard, as President Hoyt wrote
that there would be no work whatever

request it, the situation is clearly de-
fined. The miners in favor of the strike
