SALMON OIL.-Quite an enterprise
has sprung up on Puget Island, Wah-
kiakum county, w. T., in the business
Of extracting oil from the heads of
salmon. The firm operating there will
this season put up about 5000 gallons
of oil. They daily collect the heads at
each Of the canneries along the Col
umbia river and remove them to their
works where tho oil is extracted and
put up in barrels. At the close of
tho season on the Columbia, we
understand it is the intention of the
company to transfer their operations
to the Sound. Our course brindle
side or dog salmon of the late run
which are unfit for canning, sailing or
eating in any shape, will make as good
oil as any other kind The salmon
oil is extensively used for lubrica ting
and other purposes and for illumina-
ton is quite equal to any other des-
cription of fish oil.

The market has become rather over

paid for fish has been so cents apiece;
that is for large fish Of about twenty
pounds. Small fish running under Is

very briefly explained. Some time
ago c. NJ. Bradshaw presumably ON
account of jealousy of Col. Briggs
in the party commenced
a systematic course OF opposition to
that gentleman, losing no opportu.
nifty, especially privately, to injure
his olfica! and personal character,
This course he persistently main
tanned until a short time ago, when,
coveting the nomination for Prose.
cutting Attorney, and desiring to Sc.
cure all the help possible, he OBJ.
tanned the help Of third party to
ask the Col. if he could forgive all
that he Bradshaw had maliciously
done against him and bury the hatch
ct ? To which an emphatic answer
was sent back that Bradshaw need
not expect any atliliation whatever
after his treacherous and uncalled-
for persecution. After this, Brad.
shaw assuming the leadership of the
sorehead party, it can be easily imag-
ined how readily the effort would be
renewed along the whole line, and
how the abuse would be redoubled.
This imaginary ring has lately en-.
larged its borders very rapidly. The
opposition have carried their talk so
far that every man in the county who
does not support every onehorse
scheme they may originate is imme.
diately set upon, be he Republican
or Democrat, and denounced as either
a member or tool Of the "Ring."
This policy has been extended even
TO the affairs of Clalam and San Juan,
as is evidenced by the fact that poor
BILLY" Garfelde, when he could
find nothing else to accuse Capt.
Morris of, declared him to be the
candidate of the Custom House
Ring, of Port Townsend" The
aforesaid Garhelde is buta founding,
picked up Ivy Bradshaw who secured
him the nomination for Joint Repre-
sentative from those two counties,
and expects to consider him personal
property henceforth.
We have been quietly watching
developments in these matters for
some time; and, while we expect no
special favor, from either side in the
matter, our manhood and love Of fair
dealing between men prompt US to
gently lift the curtain and let the
public see exactly show the old thing
works" The fight has been entirely
one'slded SO far, butit has produced
a healthy aud desirable effect after
all, The festive renegades from
both political parties have by natural
affinities sought the company of their
kind, and have gradually "pooled
their issues" so that like certain ich.
orous collections which troubled the
patriarch Job they are being worked
off and expelled from the local po-
Iitical system. No doubt it will be
better to bury them all at once and
then the political atmosphere will be
purified. Meanwhile we predict that
the better portion Of the public will
not suffer from this terrible "Ring"

THAT AWFUL RING"

A neighboring journal recently
made statement something like
this: "There is such thing in .Ief
ferson county as party made up oI
political soreheads from both parties. >
Like one who, cropping about in
the darkness, occasionally stumbles
upon the right path, this remarkably
incorrect and unreliable oracle acci
dentally told the truth for once.
This sorehead party is composed OF
sundry individuals who--craving ia
ors and patronage from few Gus
tom House officials of this place, yet
realizing that :heir own misdeeds in
the past and their general unwor'hi
ness at present preclude the pos 'il-
ity of receiving fraternal sympathy
and support from those offioals-are
continually haunted by an imaginary
bugbear which they term the Gus
tom House Ring" This mythical
compact, to whose agency they at
tribute the failure of each and every
petty scheme of fraud attempted by
one of their number, is heartily
abused on all occasions. In fact
when one Of them barks his shins or
does anything calculated to make
him feel like "cussing" he attributes
his misfortune to "that Internal
clique" The fact is these Custom
House folks do not realize the mum

reasonably expected will be to hear
them berated for influencing the
weather; at least that might as we'll
be added to their long category of
alleged otfenses.
A great deal has been said against
few inoffensive citizens who are
charged with being members of this
"Ring." Hon. H. A. Webster and
Col. l.. H. Briggs, U. S. Collector of
Customs and Deputy Collector re.
