An idea of the extensiveness of Oregon's
salmon fisheries can be had from these sta
tistics, which the Salem (0rg.) Historian puts
forth: Over 60, 900 boxes OF tin have been or
are being worked up into cans for the COM
ing salmon seasons pack. Nearly $3.50, 900
worth Of Irvine has been sold to Columbia
River Gamers for nets for the season. In the

The Great Railroad Suit.

The great suit between the G. b. q N.
and the Illinois Central still attracts
crowds of people to the court house
where the examination of the petitioner $
witnesses is still going. The witnesses
for the G. B. Il n. Co. thus far called
upon to give their opinion of the value
of the Illinois Central lands to be CON
demned have valued it at from 81 per
acre in some places on the route from
Portage Curve to East Dubuque. to S25
per acre in other places. The petition
er's attorneys and engineers estimate the
value of the land required by the C. B.
4 n. at less than $4,000, while the
Central attorneys and engineers value it
at not less than 100000. OF course
this little discrepancy does not amount
to much as between two great corpora
tions and the jury will probably find no
difficulty in adjusting it. The engineers
of the c. B. & n. were on the witness
stand this afternoon. Ga1era Gazette

In MEMORIAM.
Resolutions OF respect passed by the Rebekahs OF
Lincoln Lodge, No. 176, /. o. o. F. upon the
death or Sister Eliza Gillespie:


Lincoln Lodge, No. 176, 1. 0. o. F. upon the
death OF Sister Eliza Gillespie:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the SUI
preme Ruler of the Universe to remove
from among us our worthy and esteemed
sister Mrs. r. B. Gillespie, therefore,
Resolccd, That while we are never
called to mourn the loss of a member Of
our order with other than feelings of
deep grief, yet in the loss of one, who
had so endeared herself to us by her uni
form kindness and self-sacrifcing de-
votion to the cause of humanity, one so
generally beloved, language fails to con
vey the depth of sorrow and extreme
sadness that fills the hearts of those
who survive her.
Resolred, That by her death our
lodge has suffered the loss of a most
conspicuous member, who by her many
good qualities and friendly intercourse,
endeared herself to all those with whom
she became associated, and one whose
human efforts for the alienation of the
distressed and deeds of benevolence and
charity are worthy of our highest
praise.
Resolced, That in her life we have
an example well worthy of our emula-
ton and highest esteem; and that we
will ever cherish her memory.
ResotCed, That in token of our sor-
row and respect to her memory, our
members wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days.
ResolUed, That copy of these reso-
lutlons be presented to the husband of
our deceased sister, with the assurance
that he with all other relatives have our
heartfelt sympathy in their severe be-
reavement.
Farewell to thee, dear sister,
We miss thee when we meet;
And anxiously look around for one
TO I'LL the vacant seat.
Sleep ON worthy sister
Thy counsel we have no more:
! May we all meet thee once again
Tn that bright golden shore.
ResotUed, That copy of these reso-
lutlons be spread upon the minutes OF
our lodge and that they be forwarded
to the Grant County HERALD, Teller
and Record for publication.

The Great Railroad Strike.

ST. us. Mo-, March 10.-Gen.
Supt. Kerrigan, of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, this morning issued an order
expelling from the Missouri Pacific
yards all Knights of Labor. This order
includes the delegation of men APP
pointed by the Knights to guard the
company's property. The order is as
follows:
you are hereby notified that your
action in Withdrawing from the employ
ment of the Missouri Pacific railroad
company was voluntary abandonment
of the service of the company, and that
you are no longer in its employment,
and that your names are stricken from
its rolls. All such who are about the
company's premises are hereby notified
that they must Immediately leave the
same, to the end that this company
may resume the traffic of the country
NO FREIGHT MOVED.
Not a pound of freight has passed
over the great bridge into or out of St.
Louis since the employees of the Bridge
and Tunnel company struck at the COM
mand of the Knights of Labor, except
over the St. Louis & San Francisco
line, and its trains can penetrate the
city only as far the Grand Avenue de-
pot, distance of about two miles, they
are obliged to use the Missouri Pacific
tracks. if any, and this the strikers will
not allow Outside merchants are be-
ginning to understand the seriousness
of the situation, and at points along
the Gould system shipments have en-
tirely closed, or, in very urgent cases,
the orders are filled by express. Many
business men express the opinion that
the diverting of the trade from this city
on account of the strikes is not only
temporary but will be permanent. The
grocers complain that they are unable
to fill one-half their orders and fear
that if the strike continues much long
er their customers will seek other mar
kets. Passenger traffic has not been
interfered with, excepting suburban
travel, which has been almost entirely
suspended.
Dispatches from points along the
Missouri and Kansas roads are to the
effect that the strikers are observing
perfect quiet and no disturbances have
occurred.
PASSENGER ENGINES DISABLED.
The departure of the passenger train
on the Missouri Pacific tonight was de-
layed about two hours in consequence
of somebody having withdrawn the fire
in the locomotives. IL was expected
that an effort would be made to start
freight trains to-night' but up to a late
hour no attempt has been made. A
force of some forty men has been en-
ployed by the Company to operate their
yards, and more will BE- engaged AS
rapidly as the proper men can be OBJ
tanned. The opinion is that if the rail
road company attempts to run freight
trains tomorrow the effIrt will be re-
sisted even to the point of violence.
There is feeling of great uncertainty
as to what either side will do. and
much apprehension is felt AT Atch;-
son, Kan, an effort was made to sen
a freight train West this afternoon, but
no engineer could be persuaded to
mount the cab.
