Foreign Salmon Market.

There is not much activity in salmon,
as buyers are only providing themselves
with stocks required for present needs.
The merchants generally are only spar
ingly stocked, and they are in no hurry
to replenish their stores, though we see
very little probability of lower prices
when new salmon arrives. There is a
tendency on the part of buyers to Sc
cure entire brands, and then run them
in as specialties, and secure higher
prices free from competition. There Is
certainly a very reasonable desire to
thwart each other when brands are dis
tributed amongst several dealers. but
We think the retailers will study their
own interests best by taking salmon up
or its merits as regards quality, regard
less altogether Of brand Another report
says: The salmon market for some time
past, and more particularly this week,
has exhibited strange contrasts. Whilst
a few fayorite brands have been inquired
for, and III few instances small parcels
of them placed to arrive at fairly good
prices, other brands, on the contrary, but
a little less known, have been quite neg
lected, though offered at low prices. II
Is evident that the greater portion of sal
mon now afioat must be landed before
il Is sold, and wholesale BUYERS generally
refuse To commit themselves as they did
last year by buying salmon To arrive.
That this resolve IN the present state of
the market Is a wise one few will at
tempt to deny. Fraser-river salmon has
recently been more inquired after, and
at the present difference in price be-
tween fair Columbia and good Fraser it
is worth picking up. Good Fraser-river
might now be sold throughout the coun-
try at Cd per tin.-LOndoR Grocer.

" Twenty-fOur O'clock"

The endeavor to make a uniform time
standard throughout the country gives
especial interest just now TO another pro-
posed change, which has frequently here
tOfore been suggested. 1t is that of mum
bering all the hours of the day up to
twenty-four consecutively, instead of
using the "A. NJ" and ''P. NJ" as has
always been the custom. One of the
western railroads has recently adopted
this system and issued time cards on the
twenty-four hour plan, counting the day
TO end and begin at midnight, which, il
Is said, have been used with great salts
faction by the employees and the public.
To change watches and clocks to accom-
mOdate the new system it is proposed
TO put the additional numerals
IN circle on the dial Just inside of those
now on the face, reading the outside fig
ures for the time up to 12 O'Clock, noon,
and those on the inside thereafter, up to
''4 o'clock" midnight.
The sending out of standard time"
from the National Observatory at Wash
ington to principal places in the country
has now become regular practice, and
the authorities are ready and willing to
telegral b the time regularly to any point
in the United States to those who are pre-
pared TO receive il.

Columbia Logging Camps.

NO" said prominent logger yester-
day afternoon in response to our ques-
tion whether he was doing anything now.
Il have shut down, and discharged all
my men with the exception of a few that
l keep all the year round. 1t is not like

MAY. / can make more money by doing
nothing for a while than by getting out
logs now"
How is the SUPPLY Fully equal 20
the present demand. / don't know how
ii is going TO be next spring, but take it
altogether there hasn't been much
money in the business this season. Last
spring logs here and on the Sound went
away up, in one instance that / know of
they brought $3.50. but then came a
tumble, and if a logger can get Sc n
thousand now he is lucky. 1t is an ex-
pensive piece of business TO run a log
ging camp the way everything sells now.
Meat and provisions of all kinds are high
and have been all along, supplies have
advanced greatly III price. and labor,
especially during the past season has
been very hign. In fact the receipts go
for expenses. Some think that the great
number of people that are coming in now
may occasion the price of labor to come
down. 1t may IN some cases, but In a
logging camp poor worker is dear for
his board, and a man that understands
what to do and how to do il can always
get big wages. 1t looks big, ] know TO
pay teamster 800 or $120 month and
grub. but i tell you the man earns it, and
if he doesn't understand what he's at be
dosn't have a chance TO earn it very
long"
II don't Just see what the outlook is.
| You have got TO 90 further and further
up the river every year, and OF course il
costs more to get the timber out"
Don't you think, was asked, that the
building of the Astoria-Forest Grove
railroad would be a good thing for the

swered, lit would be big thing for the

CONNECTING THE THREE BAYS.
The HWacO. shoalwater and Gray's HArber
Railroad.

l.. A. Loomis informs us that the ar
ticles of incorporation of the Ilwaco,
Shoalwater and Gray's Harbor railroad,
have been filed, and the stock books of
the company opened. The incorporators
are L. 4. Loomis, II. S. Gile and b. A.
Seaborg of Pacific County, /. w. Case, of
this city, and Jacob Kamm, OF Portland.
The capital stock of the company is
one hundred thousand dollars, divided
into one thousand shares at the par value
of one hundred dollars each. The COM
pany was incorporated on the 18th ult.,
and considerable stock has already been
taken. The intention is to construct and
equip narrow guage railroad from Ilwa-
co 10 Shoalwater Bay. at Oysterville or a
point near there, and from there to Shat
fers Island at Gray's HarbOr. The route
has already been viewed, and a good
road way determined upon. Work will
be begun as soon as practicable. The ad-
vantPgs ofthis road to Astoria is mani
fest. For the last eighteen months there
has been an enormous immigration to
Pacific and Chehalis counties, particular
ly the latter county. The people that
have gone in there are largely home seek
to stay; they are but as the first wash of
the waves that soon shall roll human
sea. That rich country across the river
is, as THE AsToRIAS ,,ointed out two years
ago destined to be populOus. The ques-
tion of purchase, OF trade Is one that in
terests every business man in As
toria. The trade of that county
will naturally go where the great
est inducements take il. The roundabout
method of shipT ing goods from Port
land by way of Portland Is costly and
cumbersome. The shipment of freight
from San Francisco is equally irksome to
those people. There exists no reason
why Astoria should not obtain and hold
that trade. The building of the pro-
prosed line of railroad will turn the traf-
fic this way and it will be our fault if
we do not make the business yearly in
crpaSln one.

One THEoRY.-In reference to the
beautiful sunsets lately observed at diff
erent points along the coast, it is sup
posed that these are in part, caused by
particles of ashes coming from an Alas
kan volcano. These are carried in the
upper currents of the air, and form. as
il were, a canopy. In the ordinary po-
sition the sunlight passes through this
stratum without producing a visible
effect; but when the light is below the
rays strike the under surface of the ash
laden current, the solid particles form an
extended rejecting surface. The sun
light is thus thrown back upon the earth,
and causes the beautiful sunsets which
are SO much admired.
