porter Yesterday he said that word had
come to him that their chief of the river
police officer Jones, was going to quit the
service. The proprietors OF the cannerleS
along the rivers protested against IT, ana IN
order to prevent any such actloh on the
| mart of that gallant officer he had visited
him at Collinsville Mr.. Jones did con-
template leaving the service, which Is so
full of hazardous risks, but, at the request
of Commissioner Buckingham, made
Droposition to the Fish Commits
sioners, which will no doubt be accepted
He offers to patrol the rivers and bays, ex-
tending over them police regulation more
effective than any in the past for sum per
wear less than what it now costs He pro
poses to hire his own men, equip his own
boats, and go for the marauders after

river and bay pirates. Commissioner Buck
ingham has communicated with the other
members of the Board on the subject and
says he has no doubt the proposition of Mr.
Jones will be accepted
The run ofsalmOn in the river is improv-

very light. Last year the Capitol cannery

at CORTLAND last year put up Il 900 fish,
as against 1900 the present season. AT

streams of Santa Cruz county. The Lenni |

| BARwIcK's REPoRT-The Chief Signal |
| Officer established a rule some time ago |
| that each station must ON the first of each |
month telegraph the mean temperature and
rainfall for the preceding month, which
| gives us the means of knowing the differ
| enCe between the mean temperature and
| rainfall of all the stations on the Pacific
coast. This particular order has not been
| fully carried out yet in fact, by only a few
of the stations. Reports received at /
| o'clock this morning show the mean
temperature along the Pacific coast for June
to have been as follows: Tatoosh Island,
90 Wy lilpld, 30 L OIlldIlOl, Va htSG-
burg, 60; Red Bluff, 690; Sacramento, 66o:
San Francisco $50; Los Angeles, Sc, the
same as At SacramentO San Diego GO
The coolest place was at TatOOSh Island !
and the warmeSt Red Bluff The rainfall
for June at each station reported is as fol-
lows: Tatoosh Island t inches; Olympia
3.20inches; Portland, 40 inches; Roseburg
100 inches Red Bluff, IS of an inch; Sac
ramentO, 145 inches. There was no report
of the months rainfall at San Francisco.
Los Angeles or San Diego but from the
last report of the storm in June published
in the RECORD-UNION, we find that during
the six days the rainfall amounted to 76
of an inch at Red Bluff 2.3S at San Fran
cisco and 105 inches at Los Angeles 1t
Will be seen by the above monthly report
that more rain fell at Sacramento and San
Francisco than there was preciptated at
Portland, Or, where ii is supposed to rain
almost continuously. At the S-OclOck re-
port last night there was Il storm foul sun I
set reported in Oregon with cloudy {
weather and westerly winds prevailing
north of California.

the Illuminated white front of the i'm o
