Bad Practice.

The Sacramento spring pack has
been cleared up. 1t is only reason
able to suppose that packers on the
Sacramento would be inclined to make
light pack during the coming fall
season, owing to the present dull con-
dition of the market, and its dim and
obscure future prospects. Such, how
ever, will not be the case. On the
contrary, Gamers will pack all the
fish they can obtain, and the fall pack
will be large one, provided the run
of fish will admit of it. We hear that
few offers have been made to sell
salmon at 81. 1St, {. o. b. San Fran
cisco. This may be true, but If SO,
the quality of the fish is very inferior,
and most likely do-overs. We also
hear of q small lot of an unmerchant-
able salmon, which has been over
hauled and relabled in this market,
and is now ready to 90 forth as fresh
packed on its mission of disgust to all
lovers of salmon throughout the
country, instead of being sold as Chi
nese "stink pots" for which its
quality strongly recommends it. The
lot of "off" salmon in question were of
fall-catch Sacramento river, city
packed. They were shipped to Aus,
tralia in 1882, and were returned as
unstable. This is all wrong. The
do-over business is Overdone, and the
trade should have done with it. II
there are fish of an undesirable or of
quality why would it not be better tC
sell them for what they would bring
in open market rather than to take
them into a cellar, strip off the ole
label and bring them out redeckeC
with a gaudy label, which, however
1t may temporarily deceive the public
and sell the goods, eventually react
to the disadvantage Of the entir,
trade. There is large stock of sucl
goods now on this market. dlifoT

Father Hubbards" to Match the
Mother Hubbards."

The Mother Hubbard dresses are
all the go, and as they are fashionable,
that settles it.
The other day, says an exchange,
when old Maj. Solman announced his
readiness to proceed in the direction
Of church, his wife appeared wearing
a Mother Hubbard dress. The old
man intently regarded her for a few
moments and asked:
MARY, what sort of gown DO you
call thatl"
''It's a Mother Hubbard, Jeems."
"Air you 'goin to wear 1t to

"Why, certainly, Jeems. The
Mother Hubbard is all the fashion
now"

old man replied. "Just wait until
get ready, and we'll 60"
The old man went ont into the
kitchen. took a couple of meal sacks,
cut the bottoms out, sewed the tops
together, and put them on III imita-
ton of pantaloOns. When he re-
turned his wife uttered loud cry of
astonishment, and exclaimed:
"Great goodness, Jeems, VIII It's
thati"
Father Hubbard" the old man
replied.

"Pve got to be fashionable to keep
up with you. I've got as much right
to wear these meal bags as you have
got to 90 in that bran sack.
"IIl take it Off"
"All right; of goes the Father
Hubbard" and turning away, he
added to himself: 'Only one way to
beat a woman, and that Is by agreein'
with her. Ef it hadn't been fur the
daddy Hubbard I'd been in a mighty
bad fix"

On the Sacramento,

The open and bold defiance of the
law by men, who persist in seining
the Sacramento river for salmon, al
though the statute makes August a
close season for the fish, and which
led to the killing Of one of them by
Constable Jones, has created much
indignation among the members of
the State Sportsmen's Club. These
men have been in the habit OF yiolat-
ing the law with impunity ever since
it was placed on the statute book.
Their practice is to fish on the Colum-
bia river until the season closes down,
after which they pack up their outfits
and send them down to this city by
the Oregon steamers. They are then
transferred to the Sacramento in the
innumerable sloughs of which they
can hide their boats very easily. The
canneries not being In op GRAFTON
they salt the salmon, and as soon as
it has lost some of the appearance of
freshness il is sent down to this city.
A number of fish dealing firms in
Washington Market are openly en-
gagged in the business of packing this
salmon. The profits of the illegal
practice are said to repay the fisher
men well for the outlay of bringing
their boats down from Portland, the
catch Of single night Aeing often
worth as high as $500, on which
amount the fines of $50 which the
Justices Courts of Contra Costa and
Solano have been levyIng on the Of
Tenders, will not deter from following
up their lawless practices.-S. f.

Those who went to the theatre
last night to see something picturesque
were disappointed, for there was moth
ing attractive about three tiers of
pleasant looking young gentlemen
playing upon guitars and mandolins,
with the inevitable bass viol in the
northwest corner, and leader with a
violin. But for pure melody and
splendidly executed music, the troupe
is q success and well deserved the
large audience that their fame at
tracted. The "Miserere" from "Il
Trovatore" was of itself well worth
the price of admission; seldom have
we seen a better conducted orchestra.
Tonight they play in Portland.

On the Vide West yesterday af-
ternoon went a case of Columbia
River salmon packed by A. Booth &
Co. 1t is just like any other of the
SIX hundred and odd thousand that
were taken from our great river this
season but bears the distinction of be-
ing the first salmon that ever went
eastward via the Northern Pacific
Railroad from Astoria, as it will go in
the first train that leaves Portland
toward the rising sun.

Circuit Court Matters

The time Of the court was yesterday
morning taken mp with the cases of
Mollie Moran, Mamie Martin, and
George Hill. The case of the two
girls who had been tried on the charge
of larceny had resulted last Wednes-
day night in the disagreement Of the
jury Yesterday they appeared in
court and plead guilty TO a charge of
petty larceny. Judge Bennett SEN
fenced each Of them to serve a period
Of one years confinement in the coun-
ty jail. This transfers problem TO
the Tailor. Just how women can be
confined in our county Jail, deficient
as it is IN every sanitary regulation,
does not appear. Without the slight
est reference to the judges sentence,
which we have neither the right nor
the intention TO speak of, it is GER
bdlilig a udlO itablCi " cSC lioh SaAO9C
girls are to be confined for a year or a
month in that Jail. To those who
have half hour 10 spare it might not
be time wasted to take a look at the
interior of that place and see the
sights and smell the stinks. 1t is a
disgrace to a community that profes-
ses Christianity; and is about as
abominable as place can well be,
The sheriff does his best IN the mat
ter, and deserves commendation for
his efforts TO ameliorate the condition
of the unfortunates who are tempora-
rily detained. Common humanity
suggests some more suitable provision
to be made for anyone, man or woman,
who has to stay IN those contriyances,
styled, by courtesy, ''cells.
Weareinformedt that shortly after SEN
tence was pronounced on those women,
one of them, Mollie Moran, attempted
to commit suicide by taking dose of
laudanum. We are not at all sur
prised. Death by poison is some
times preferable to incarceration IN a
place where life is intolerable. 1t is
the business of the county commission
ers to attend to this matter The
grand jury touched uponit very lightly
it needs ventilation in every sense Of
the word.
The case of Hill vs. Laughrey is OF
interest as a test case. Sometime ago
the city council passed an ordinances
relative to the closing of places oI
business at midnight. A few days
ago George Hill was fined so in the
police Court for violation of the Ordi
nance. The matter was brought be-
fore Judge Bennett. for adjudication
yesterday morning. The point al
issue was not an appeal from tn,
police court, but test case in Tho
right of jurisdiction on the part of the
city of Astoria to pass such an ordI
nance. Judge Bennett decided thai
the city had that right, and that tn,
ordinance was valid. The effect oi
the decision is to render the ordi-
nance operative and binding upOr
that class in relation TO whom tn,
ordinance was passed. Hill paid hi
fine under protest, and, We under
stand, will appeal the case to tn,
supreme court.

A Pleasant Excursion.
Ed. AsTORIAS;


Last Tuesday our party of campers
embarked on the steamer Tom Morris
for the Klaskanine. After pleasant
ride we arrived at Mr.. Gray's, who
kindly offered his team to haul our
blankets, provisions, etc, to a suitable
campingplace about halfmile from his
house. A prettier camp ground could
not be found. The tall, mOss-coyered
aldcrs, the grass below and the pure.
cool water ripping by, adds to the
pleasantness of the camp.
After pitching the tent aud partak-
ing of hearty meal, which all en-
joyed, we gathered around our camp
FIRE and sang songs, some musical and
some otherwise, and We also had some
excellent recitations. Ii was probably
one o'clock before any one had any
sleep, and most say that there was so
much noise that they got no sleep at
all. Some of the gentlemen went on
fishing and hunting tour up the east
branch of the klaskanine. They
started about 4:30 A. N. The re-
mainder of the campers had breakfast
aboIt seven, and amused themselves
in different ways until the arrival of
those who could not go with them
Tuesday. Some Of the new arrivals
went up the river fishing, and one Of
them caught several trout. In the
evening those who went fishing and
hunting returned with q good mess of
trout, and six pheasarts, at least that
is what they called them. After sup
per some of US tried our hands at pick
ing "pheasants" but with what sue.
cess We will not say. The last even
ing's performance was repeated with
the addition of serenade at A. NJ,
few voices were heard later, but by
. o'clock all was quiet.
In the morning after the usual per
formance around the breakfast table
some of the ladies and gentlemen in
dulged IN a little target shooting.
The first was with reYolvers, at dis
tance of sixty feet. Miss Dickinson
did the best shooting, hitting the
bulls eye once and putting several
other shots within few inches of it..
The next was with Ballard rife at a
distance of one hundred yards; Miss
Dickinson making the best shot; b.
Van Dusen, second.
At four o'clock we began packing up
preparatory to returning home. Mr.
Gray kindly sent his team to haul our
baggage to the landing. The campers
me: at Mr.. Gray's and rendered him a
vote of thanks for his kindness to-
ward us during our stay. Mr.. Gray
then went with us to the landing
where the steamer Daisy and a large
fishing boat was in waiting for us.
Some got on board the Daisy, but
most of us took the fishing boat aud
the steamer took us in tow. We left
about six o'clock and after a pleasant
ride arrived at the wharf at 8 P. N.
Among the campers were DIR. and
Mrs. Kinney, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcintosh,
Mrs. Van Dusen, Mrs. Pangburn and
Mrs. Wadleigh. Misses Emma Mil
