These rates are for SLOW freight, also for
gross weight. One ton OF apples In boxes
weighs 25u0 pounds, which comes 70 S3. 20.
slow rate, but fruit IS too risky to 60 as slow
freight, hence 1t must be shipped fast. witch

The above letter was received at the

Wheat Direct 10 Puget Sound

The interest the STATESMAN takes in the
welfare of the producers Of the interior is
not confined to mere talk through its col
umns. For some time past We have been in
communication with different parties on the
Sound in order to discover what they could
perform Oytr there in the matter OF shipping
grain from here direct, instead of the round
about way to and from Portland, and also to
provide cargoes for ships who come into
their deep waters. The following extract
from letter recer tly. received Will encOur-
age our producers to the extent that they
will see that the Puget Sound business men
are alive 10 the emergency I g 1t requires a
little time TO perfect arrangements for a
smooth working OF large commerce in new
channels. Arrangements are being made
for the erection of large grain warehouses or
elevators at New Tacoma. There viii be
purchasers OF wheat, etc, here and parties
will lie prepared to advance to farmers and
others OF wheat, and other produce.

gave to Every work of charity intended to

his earnest support and cO-oEEation, such an
Institution would most app priately COM
memorate his grand career AN tragic DEATH
The committee having the matter in

more means than have yet been raised if it is
to be made worthy OF the name and object,
and therefore, the undersigned, charged with
that duty, confidently appeal to your associ-
alton composed as it is OF his former com
rades in arms, for subscriptions IN aid Of the
undertaking.
Whatever Is sent viii be sacredly applied

The Adirondack Fish survey.
From the New York licrald.l


Mr. Frederick Mathcr, Assistant United
States Fish Commissioner, who has been en-
ployed by the Adirondack survey in making
practical researches in the wilderness of this
State, has Just returned from the waters of
the North with a complete collection of spec
imcns OF fish obtained in the lakes, rivers and
ponds of the Adirondack region. For this
purpose Mr.. Mathcr has made two visits to
the North Woods this season. The first,
which occupied a months time during the
Summer was to the southern section of the
wilderness. lie entered the woods on the
cast side at Blue Mountain Pond, proceeding
down the RIquctlc liver INTO the Fulton
chain, whctc he camped. From there he
made excursions to Big Moose Lake and the
neighbUring ponds. The second visit was to
the norhward, known AS the Saraunc region
ard Mcacham Lake. where Mr.. A. r. Fuller
conducts his fish Matching, was made the
headquarters Of the scientist. Mr.. Matter
reports that The largest brook front were
found IN M,acham and Clear lakes, sew
cral having been taken there which have
weighed five pounds each. The great size
has occasioned much surprise among the few
anglers who have heard of HE catch, Us here
tUforc iOur-poundcls in this Stat. were sup.
posed to be the extreme limit. He also says
that the Adirondack region is not rich in
species. The collection contains five kinds
Of suckers, two of them never having been
described befere. Some fine specimens of
brook and lake trout were secured, and Il spe-
ces OF whitefsh, called the frost fish, >
which average one pound in weight. Mr.
Malhcr met with some black bass of the
