CONFIRMED.

The favorable impression produced
ON the first appearance of the agreeable
liquid fruit remedy Syrup OF Figs, a
few years ago has been more than con-
firmed by the pleasant experience of
all who have used it, and the success of
the proprietors and manufacturers, the
Cal. Fig Syrup Company.

Total


As will be seen by his report there
has beena steady decrease Ofsalmon
in the Fraser river since 1882. In
1885 the first fry from the hatchery
was turned out amounting to 100000
young fish. This being the fourth
year thereafter Is, consequently, the
first year that they could look for any
results from the planting, and they
have surely not looked in vain, as
they have put up the largest amount
of fish this season that has ever been
packed on the Fraser river since the
beginning of the industry, $4,000
cases. rFsr
This ismore than has been packed
on the Columbia this year, although
the. Columbia contains about 800
square miles of fishing ground and the
Fraser only about 60 square miles.
With the encouraging reports from
the Fraser River hatchery. and those
given in our last report from the
Rogue River hatchery we shall look
forward with great interest to the sea-
son Of 1891. when we may look for the
return of the first fish planted by the
state commission in 1887.

TIE STATE FISH COMMISSION.
Their Annual Report to the Governor,
A Comprehensive statement of Existing
Facts.

The state fiSh commission have sub
mitted their annual report TO Gov.
Pennoyer.
Following are the most salient fea-
lures of the report, the extracts be-
ing somewhat condensed:
After referring to other reports, of
commissioners of different states,
exhibiting the absolute necessity of
fish propagation, and the good effects
resulting therefrOni. the commissioners
say:
The catch of salmon IN Oregon for
tie past season VIII fall somewhat
short of the catch for the season Of 'S8.
There has been packed on the Co
lumbia river, including the Washing
ton side, 328,000 cases, or 15,600,000
pounds, which would require abont
100000 salmon: against $4,000
cases in 1888. The shortage is mostly
from the vicinity of the Cascades,
ard was owing to the extremely low
water, which prevented more than one
half of the fish wheels from taking
any fish, and many of those that did
take fish, only ran for short time,
ana caught DuC rev nSn.
The other streams on the coast of
Oregon, which have been fished dur
ing the season, have turned out fairly
well: The pack on the Nehalem was
about 5000 cases; Tillamook, $500
cases; Nestucca, 6,700 cases; Yaquina,
5000 cases: Alsea, 10000 cases: Siu-
slaw. 12.000 cases; Umpqua, l2,G00
cases; Coquille, $500 cases; Rogue
river, 22,000 cases; 14.000 Of which
were spring salmon.

AT the close of our last annual re-
port We had turned out from the
Clackamas station about 100000
young fish, and still had 100000
eggs, and young fry in the Matching
house. Owing to the mild weather
during the winter We had excellent
success with the eggs, and young fry,
and by the 1st of February, all had
been turned out, amounting in all, for
the season, to more than 100000
young salmon, or more than three
times the number of fish taken on the
whole river during the season. The
young fish were all let loose in the
Clackamas river with the exception
of 10000, which were taken to the
Columbia, and let loose at Bonneville.
We think it would have been better
to have taken more of them to the Co
lumbia, but we could not do 80. as
the expense was quite large, and We
were short of funds.
In connection with Matching and
distributing young fish We wish to
call your attention and the attention
of the public to the great work OF the
United States fish commission.

we VIII now call your attention TO
the work of the c. S. Gem. at
the Clackamas station. They have
taken this season about 100000 eggs
and have been very successful in
Matching them. The loss of eggs this
season will be much less than last
for the reason that Commissioner Me
Donald on his visit to the station in
August ordered a steam pump put in
the hatchery, SO that water for hatch
ing purposes could be taken directly
from the Clackamas river instead of
Cleark creek, as in former years, the
water In the latter stream being too
warm in August and September.

Commissioner Mcdonald during his
visit we may expect in the near future
to see the capacity of the q. S. fish

We have noticed that in all states
where fish breeding has been started,
that the state commissioners have
worked 10 connection with the US.

results can be obtained with the same
expenditure of money by so doing.
In connection with fish breeding
we will say that We took some salmon

had them on exhibition at the Indus.

er has not visited all of the counties
in the state, where these lands are
reported, but he has visited enough
to satisfy him that, while much of
the unoccupied, and formerly cult

less for cultivation, yet very much OF

A STRANGE DEATH.
A Pole Is Found mt the Bottom OF Stairs
Breathing His Last.

Pole Is Found Mt the Bottom OF Stairs
Breathing His Lnst.
About 10 o'clock on Saturday night the
body of Andreas Polomski was found at
the foot of the stairs in the house of Gustav
Eibener, on the cvrner of South Tenth and
Bradford streets. Polomski was Pole,
who worked at Scutt's wire mill and who
boarded at Sc South Thirteenth street. He
had, it is alleged, been drinking with sew
eral of his friends during the evening at
the home of Eibener, when he was sudden
ly missed. 1t was then that his body was
discovered.
There were no other perceptible injuries,
except that one of his eyes was badly cut
and the other bruised, as if from fall. The
body was taken into the house, and, as lite
did not appear to be entirely extinct, ply
sician was sent for. But none responded to
the call. At 1:30 o'clock the man died
without having spoken a word.
The police were notified of the occurrence
yesterday morning, and they arrested
Eibener, Frank Keschel and Christoph; but
they were discharged after they had been
submitted to some close questioning.
Coroner Mcdowell viewed the body in
the afternoon and he stated that the man
will be held to-day.
Polomski was married man, his wife
and three children living still in the old
country. A bankboo showing deposit of
$3.50 was found on the man.

Western Pennsylvania Delegation of
Miners and Operators.
The Western Pennsylvania delegation to
the National Convention of Coal Miners
and Operators at Indianapolis this week
leaves tonight over the Panhandle road.
The last annual convention, which was
held in this city last February, lasted four
days. From present appearances the In
dianapolis convention will continue from
Tuesday morning to the end of the week.
The development of several large coal
fields during the past year will it is thought,
be the cause of considerable trouble in ar
irving at definite base scale for the coming
year. A number of new railroads having
been extended to several virgin fields in the
South and West will also prove very i'm
portant factors in the conventions delibera-
tions as the development of competition is
bound to result in a cut in prices and
ultimately reduction of wages.
The Miners National Association has
chosen its best men from the different States
to represent it in the conference, and as the
operators of Ohio. Pennsylvania and In
diana have followed their example hot
time is expected.
1t is limited that the Illinois members who
seeded and other operators who refused to
join the association two years ago, will be
represented in the convention and become
members of the association.

HOW THEY ARE TO VOTE.

A Colored Pastor Instrucfs His Congrega.
tion for Prohibition.
Rev. William f. Brooks, of the Grace
Memorial Presbyterian Church (colored),
Arthur street, delivered an address yester-
day morning on the subject of "Putting
Thy Bottle to His Mouth" Every promoter
of drunkenness, he held, who puts bottle
to the mouth of his brother, whether inten-
tionally or not, is impeached and con-
demned by God in His holy word. He first
pointed out the evil OF the liquor traffic,
the personal and general ruin it made and
the general burden which it brings to all by
increased taxation for crimes and paupers,
winning men from productive work to
life of sin and idleness.
There were different ways of putting
bottle to ones mouth-by directly Offering
the bottle to his brother, or by permitting
the bottle to be placed to his lips, when by
lawful means it can be abolished. Every
Christian man should, he thought, vote in
favor OF the prohibition amendment The
saloon keepers should not be paid for the
losses if the sale of liquor was to be prohib-
tied, as they had already taken enough
money indirectly from State and given
nothing in return. He then told of some of
the benefits which may be derived by lead
ing q sober life.
