The theory of the salmon runs on the Pa. |
ciiic coast is that, in approaching the coast |
the ilsh meet the streams of fresh water
from the rivers, VIII oh they follow up and |
This constitutes the run. But this wear the |
streams are unusually low on the entire
coast, and especially so in the Sacramento
river. SO low is II that the tide backs the
SAT- water up thirty miles from its mouth.
uhder these conditions the prospect OF fish
ing in the Sacramento for this season are
regarded by the fishermen as exceedingly
gloomy. The recent rains on the Pacific
coast, which have improved the wheat pros.
poets, have not been coplous enough to az
icct the streams. The salmon pack of this
year bids fair at this time to be light.

The American Trade Journal says: 1.-THE n
xtenslon of our foreign commerce is one of
ne most important questions of the day.
We frequently hear the complaint of over.
reduction, when trade Is dull with our .
anuticturers, and the statement made
nat the only remedy is to shut down our / \
lills and factories until the surplus is con- d
nmed. This is mistake. The only true
emedy is to seek new markets to absorb
ur constantly increasing productions. The !
ljudicious legislation against the Chinese
as led to retallatory measures in China
gainst Americans. The indications now
re that our already insignificant export
'ade IN manufactured goods will meet with .
further reduction In that direction. for.
inately,. as our star of commerce in II
lmmeu In Asia, 1t is Frightening in the +.
'uth. American merchants have grand
pportunities opening before them in that I
uarter." ''
