THE TOBACCO BILL.

The provisions of the tobacco bill
passed at the recent session of the
legislature are probably not yet gen.
orally understood. Following is the
full text of the bill:
An act to prohibit the sale OF to-
bacco, cigars or cigarettes to minors
under the age of eighteen years.
Be it enacted by the legislative as
sembly of the state of Oregon:
Section l. 1t shall be unlawful to
sell. barter, trade, give, or in any
manner furnish to any minor under
the age of eighteen years, any tobac-
co, cigars Or cigarettes in any form or
any compound in which tobacco forms
a component part, without written
consent or order of such minors par
ents or guardians, and when such mi
nor has no parent or guardian, then
in that case consent may be given by
the county court, setting for the
transaction of county business, upon
proper application in the county in
which said minor may have his resi-.
dence.
Section 2. Any person violating
the provisions of this act shall, upon
conviction, be fined in the sum OF
not less than twenty dollars nor more
than fifty dollars.
Section 3. Justices of the peace
shall have jurisdiction for all ofenses
arising under this act.
Inasmuch as there is no law on this
subject this act shall be in force from
and after its approval by the gov
ernor.

ALASKA SALMON FISHING.
One Years Experience Is Necessary.

Mr.. McCauley who has spent sever
al years in the salmon industry in
Alaska gave me the following facts:
The pack from Alaskan waters last
year was $4,000 cases, which was
about equal to the Columbia river
pack. The canneries number 15.
Five are located on the Kariuk river.
which thus far has proved the most
profitable ground. The combined
output of the five Karluk canneries
was about 100000 cases of which one
establishment put up 101, 900 cases.
This year three more canneries will
be erected on the Karluk. Twenty
one canneries are IN course OF con-
struction which will make sc Gamer
les as against Is last year. 1t is not
unreasonable to estimate that the
Alaska pack this season will be $780,
600 cases.
Fifty-four deep-sea vessels have
been engaged during the past winter
to carry supplies to the canneries, in
many instances carrying the lumber
to build the canneries, and to bring
back the product. Besides these IA
new steam schoopers have been built
or are now building in San Francisco
to serve as tenders to the canneries.
Mr.. Berry gave it as his experience
that new canning establishments usu-
ally spend the first year in gaining
information. Where a cannery is es-
tablished on or near a stream that
has been f1shed, the owner reaps the
benefits of knowledge which the pio-
neers in the business had paid for.
Nothing is known of the habits and
habitats of the salmon in the new
streams of the northern district. Not
even the shoals and spawning
grounds are known, but one season
usually suffices for enough informa-
tion on thosemain questions to enable
the canneries to make money the next
year. All the rivers swarm with
salmon, and the only problem is to
know where they "hang ont" during
the spawning season.
The run is not nearly so long as
in the Columbia, usually lasting from
six to eight weeks. Cost of labor IN
the canneries is greater than on the
Columbia, because the Chinese must
be paid for four months work while
doing only two. The great saving is
in the cost of fish. Indians are large
ly employed in catching salmon, and
the average cost is not over five cents.
In the big canneries the cost was not
over IL cents, while with the smaller
establishments the cost was nearly 10
cents each. Adding the cost of trans
portation to San Francisco, canned
salmon cost about 10 per cent. more
than salmon caught and put up on
the Columbia river.-POTt TOaOn-

There are some mischievous boys in the
city who, in the eXuberance of mirth, have
annoyed older people until forbearance
could no longer be regarded as virtue. A
number of the boys were arrested this
week and proved guilty of stringing wires
across the sidewalk to trip pedestrians
after dark. The boys have been atoning
for their fun by helping to shovel gravel on
the streets the last two days.
The storms of the last few days have pro
duced the usual results, the streets being
very muddy and the people almost obliged
to remain indoors most of the time. Yes

night the sidewalks were dry enough to
enable people to travel about town with

demand. Some of the people have made
trips to the depot for coal and not yet got
any. Every car load brought in is lmmedl-
ately hauled away by those who camp
there till they do get load. The people
have resolved never to depend on the rail
read for coal again. 3.
