The salmon run in the Sound so far this

merry does not get fish enough to run mora
than half the time, and q comparatively
small lot is being sailed. However, there
is plenty of time yet for good run, as the

considerai damage. A wheat bin in the
third story of the building, and containing
about 1000 bushels of wheat, suddenly

is two or three thousand dollars.

or at least will fad work nearer home, on
the Snoqualmie Sakgit, in Yakima, Ms

with the increasing white population, ard
with what Indians and Chinese they will
be able to get, there will be little if any
more trouble in the future than there
has been in the past notwithstanding the
increased acreage and production. Post.
