OUR FISHERIES
What the Steamer AIbatrosssWiii Do
This Winter.

The Fish Commission steamer A
batross, commanded by LieutenaI
Commander Y. l. Tanner, arrive
yesterday at San Diego, which wi
be her headquarters during the vii
ter The work during the winteI
will be on the coast of California,
south of San francisco. Explora-
tions of the offshore waters along the
coast will consume a large portion of
the time, These explorations are for
the purpose OF ascertaining the ex-
tent and character of the fishing
grounds which may be profit able for
the fishermen of that region. The
work will consist of laying out the
ground, ascertaining the depth of
the water, the character of the win
ter and the character and abundance
of the fish. The first part of the
winter will be spent south of Point
Conception, and the latter part be-
tween Point Conception and San
Francisco. The mouth of the Colo-
RADIO river, which empties into the
upper part of the Gulf of Califor-
MIA, will be Investigated. Numerous
plants of shad have been made in the
Colorado and Gila rivers, and the in-
vestigation will be for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the conditions
at the head of tie Gulf OF California
are suited to their wants. In the
spring the Albatross will sail nortf
to complete some untinisbe1 work.

LOBSTEHS

The following letter from the U. S.
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries was
received FROM Washington this morning
by Judge Swan.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Jan. z, 1885.
James g. Stcan Esq, Port TOtruSend,
W. T.
DEAR SIR: The car with Holsters for
the west coast leaves Woods Hol Ion the
14th OF January and should reach Port
Townsend or Tacoma at about the 18th
OF the month. Mr.. Ellis. the usessen-
.rge of the car is instruct
municate with you and
obstet plants in the vicinity
wnsend in accordance with
mepdaiiop. 1t Is not prob
more than 200 or $40 OF the
uIiU.meul 10 your region will survive and
reach destination, and it is not, l thi ok,
desirable that the number of localities
al which they are TO be placed should be
multiplied. Greater assurance of sue
cess will be obtained by confinius tn
plants to one or two locations.
Mr.. Swan informs US that he has Sc.
iected Scow Bay and the cove north Of
Point Wilson as suitable locations.
The SUCCESS OF this exEeriment will be
watched with interest, and it is hoped
thst fishermen will not attempt TO cap
tnre or modest these Holsters, but allow
them to breed. zas.,s. 80.

Another Continental Railroad.

The Wet ria COlOniSt OF the 18th
has communication under the head of
Butte Inlet Route" which will interest
many of our readers: ut defines the in
teLtion of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada in connection with the Red
River valley and Manitoba, and north
western railways to operate rs one sys-
TEN from Portland. Maine. and Mon
treal to Prince Albert IL the northwest,
one-balt way across the continent. and
by connecting with the projected Butte
Inlet road at Yellowhead Pass another
transcontiBental system will be COM
pleted, traversing a richer country with
easier grades, and one capable of being
maintained at much less cost than the
Canadian Pacific"
In 1864 the Waddington route was
surveyed tn Butte Inlet, thence across
Cardero Channel to Valdez Island,
thence across Seymour Narrows to Van
conver Island and down the east side
to Nanaimo To- connect with che present
Island railway to Victoria.
1t WAS fnnnd tn be practicable to cross
Cardern Channel aud Seymour Narrows
with suspension bridges, the banks be-
ing high and precipitious, and the span
not over three hundred yards.
Smith, former Chief Engineer of the
Canadian Pacific, who still maintains it
is the ore which should have been sci
ected.
When il il remembered that Stanford
Crocker and Huntington, the California
millionaires, are connected with Dins-
muir in the ownership of The Island
Railway from Esquimalt to Nanaimo,
which was built with the intention of
connecting with the Canadian Pacific
by immense ferry boats aero SIS the Gu. [
of Georgia. which, by the Q. 2. L. r.
making Vancouver their terminus, is
simply n non paying coalroad. The
statement is not altogether chimerical
that, these capitalists, to make their
Island road remunerative should have
Joined forces with the Grand Trunk Line
to run a road north o. the G. L. r., and
enter Victoria by the Butte Inlet route.
The Capadian Pacific managers are an
eminently shrewd company. and in view OF
the late fiasco at Vancouver, they may
makethat an excuse to put on ferry from
| their terminus at Vancouver to Nanaimo
and thence to Victoria the original ter
mInal point and thus head off the Grand
Trunk.
The Vancouver papers may sneer at this
Butte Inlet Route just as tue pdpeEs III
the interest of the Northern Pacific sneer-
ed at the Canadian Pacific. but that road
has been built aud has proved an emin
ent success, and the Butte Inlet route
will also be built by the Grand Trunk
companies Huless the G.. p. r. heads
them off by compromise, or by the
plan we suggest. At all events Victoria
is sure to reap the benefit. She has
bided her time and will yet see the cul'
| mination OF her hopes, direct connec-
ton with an inter continental road to
| Atlantic paris.

IDAHO'S AMBITION .
THE TERRITORY wANTS 10 BE
COME a STATE.
Strong Opposition to the Proposed
Annexation OF The Panhandle
to Washington Territory.

/ i recent Washington special says
Delegate Dubois of Idaho to-day
expressed the following opinion il
regard to the prospect of the admis-
sion of Idaho: Representative
Springer, the chairman of the con-
mittee on Territories. has introduced
a bill for the admission of Arizona
and Idaho. which provides that con-
stitutional conventions shall be held
in each territory in January, 1890,
and that the constitutions then
| formed shall be voted upon by the
people in November, 1891, after
which the constitutions, if ratified by
the territories. shall be accepted or
rejected by Congress. Before the
! territories can come into the Union
Wyoming viii be added to the other
states III the bill.
Il see that 1T Il meeting recently
held in Washington it was resolved
to send representatives. to Washing
ton territory to urge The admission
of the territory with the five north
ern counties of Idaho attached
What does this mean?"
1T probably means that the citi
zens of Washington think that she is
not rich enough in resources and
population to be admitted with its
present boundaries In this l think
the people of that territory make a
great mistake. 1t Is generally con-
sidered that Washington Territory
is now fitted for statehood, and it is
=
what may defeat their admission.
| do not blame them for trying to
grasp North Idaho, and should they
succeed they Will get the richest
portion of our territory and add
vastly to their population. North
Idaho is the richest portion OF the
entire Northwest compared with any |
other of equal area"
What is the area of North Idaho, !
and what is it especially rich in?"
Its area is about 25,000 square
miles; 1t Is marvelously rich In god
and silver aud lead. and no finer ag-
ricultural lands are to be found than
in Latah, n L Perce and Idaho com
ties 1t is I. 50 magniiicently tim
bered county. AMI its lakes and riv-
ers are beautiful beyond comparison. |
L regar,. Nth Idaho as the richest /
and most k.,,l..C-que portion OF the |
great Northwest This effort on the |
part of Washington has had the eff |
feet of antagonizing great many |
members"
What sentiment is there in Idaho |
in favor of annexation
absolutely none to speak of. L
am and have been Il pronounced op-
pOnent of this selfish and unwar-
ranted scheme OF our neighhors, and |
| carried North Idaho at the last
election. Judge Buck, IN able and
simple annexation candida'e. run
mug gu that issue alone received
but l, ,45O votes in the entire terrific
ry ont OF more than 10000 votes
cast What little sentiment there
was then. IA represented by the vote
for Judge Buck, has died out, now
that statehood for Idaho is immi
nent."
