II notice." SAID an Astorian yesterday
afternoon, that good deal of fun is be-

putting just one man on board the Black
Diamond when he seized her in Behring

didn't prevent her from going to Victoria
instead of Sitka, where she was sent.

attention to the fact that in such cases q
prize crew always consists of one man.

Says the Seattle POst-Iate!Iigcneer,
"The jack salmon which run as far as
this harbor were worth twenty-five cents
last year. However, they will be some
what lower this season. The silver-sides
which run all over the Sound, nearly,
were worth ten cents a piece last year.
Their value will also be lower this season.
The reason for the decline in prices is
because the carriers cannot afford to paw
high prices when the market will not per
NIT it, and again salmon will be extreme
ly plentiful on the Sound this season.
The run of fish which has Just begun
will last until December /, though we
will continue to put up fish as long as we
are able to obtain them, On the Sound
the haddoes which have just put in an
appearance run until the latter part of

The first five minutes at the Spokane
Falls fire last Sunday night cost about
two million dollars q minute. There
wasn't q breath of wind when the fire
started, dead calm prevailed at the
time and the spectators supposed the
firemen would speedily bring the flames
under control. This could have been
done if proper precautions had been
taken, but the superintendent of the
water works was out of the city, and for
some reason the men in charge failed to
respond to the call for more pressure.
The heat created a current of air and in
less than half an hour the entire block
of frame shops was enyeloped in flames,
and burning shingles and other debris
filled the air, igniting several adjacent
blocks at the same time. Then the town
went, solid brick and granite being in.
