pieces, each about big enough for a can.
These pieces are put into cans, which then
have their lids soldered on to them. The
cans are then put into large iron retorts or
boilers, which, after being closed tight,
have steam let into them at a pressure Of
ten pounds to the square inch The cans
are kept in the boilers until the fish in
them is cooked Then they are taken out,
wiped clean and permitted to cool. Then
they are labeled and packed in cases and
are ready for shipment.
1t often happens that a can is not suffi-
GENTLY cooked This is ascertained by the
inspectors, who punch small hole in each
can to let the steam escape. All the cans
are thus punched and the holes are SOL
dered up again. Those which are INSULT
GENTLY cooked are put back into the boilers
again, and are again tested after their
second withdrawal therefrom So expert
have the Gamers become that very few
cans are spoiled In cooking either by being
over or under done.
Astoria, near the mouth of the Columbia
river, is the chief salmon fishing city in the
world. Il has twenty-nine salmon can
neries, employing over 5000 men, and the
value of their product is nearly 81 coo, 900 a
year
The salmon of the Pacific coast, unlike
his brother Of the Atlantic coast, cannot be
caught by rod and line, as he most posi-
lively refuses to notice the most tempting
lures that the most scientific disciples of

He is strictly business, and declines most
peremptorily to become sport for any man.

ana they are the cheapest anu most e.
fective methods yet devised for catching
their finny prey
The wheel shown in the illustrations
consists of nine arms attached to an iron
shaft, and these arms are strongly net
ted In groups Of threes at their outmost
ends. The shaft is surrounded by cone
OF wood, whose face or widest part is on
the port side The narrow part of the cone,
or its apex, is at the end Of WOODEN
trough. The wheel is pivoted on gal
lows frame, and can be raised or lowered
out Of or into the water at will by means
Of blocks and tackle. The one here illus
trated is attached to q scow, and OF course
Is portable. Not all of them are SO. Some
OF them are attached to piling built out
into the river.
The paddlewheel method Of fishing can
only be employed in the rapids OF the
river, and it is about the only method used
in the region of the Dalles, above Port
land. When in use the wheel is sub
merged about one-third Of its diameter,
and is slowly revolved by the action of the
water. The salmon seek the headwaters
of the Columbis and its tributaries from
the latter end Of March until about the
middle OF June in great numbers. They
encounter the wheels in swimming up
stream, and are by them lifted out of the
water, thrown against these cones and
thence slide into tho troughs, down which
they glide into the recsptacles prepared
for them. In the height of good season
a well located wheal will frequently catch
from six to fifteen tons Of salmon in twenty
four hours, 1t does seem rather a big
thing to catch fish whose individual weight
ranges from twenty to forty pounds by the
ton, but that is the way it is done on the
Columbia, and the salmon there caught
are the best and finest favored in the
world
Fully 10000 men are employed in the
salmon catching and canning trade on the
Columbia river Last year the pack
amounted to over half million cases, but
this year, owing TO an unfortunate differ
ence of opinion between the packers and
the fishermen as to the price of fish, a
strike ensued and nearly half the season
was lost. The catch and pack was conse-
quently much lighter than usual, and the
demand for salmon will have to be satisfied
with fish caught and packed in Alaskan
waters.
The method of canning" salmon is
simple, but interesting. When sold and
taken to the cannery tbefsh are thoroughly
washed and cleansed, and then cut into

LEAvENwORTH, Kan, August 2.-The
little mining town of Brighton, five and

scene of a mysterious murder. Uncle Jim
Yslam, well-to-dO colOred man, was
found last night by his nephew, Paul Het-
ter, and a neighbor, dead in bed, his two
children sleeping peacefully on each side
of him. In the middle of Yslam's fore
head slanting toward the right eye was a
fearful hole from the sharp edge of an axe
which had sunk deep into his skull, nearly
cleaving the head il twain. There were no
signs of a struggle and tied up by Il
string a roll of bills amounting to 5000
was found in pocket of his trousers
which were lying apparently undisturbed
on chair near the bed. Young Hetter
has been arrested on suspicion. This
morning the blood stained axe was found.

PREPARING FOR KEMMLER'S EXECU-
TION

AUBURN, y. Y, August Recent de-
velopments have more than confirmed the
truth of the statement that kemmler, the
condemned murderer, is weakening daily.
The utter abandonment of all hope and
the consequent realization of his utterly
lost condition never came to him with such
terrible force as last night. All night long
the vision of his impending fate rose before
his Sleepless ewes, and as he tossed and
tumbled on his narrow cot, he cried aloud
in despair, Il wish it were over. "
He moaned time and again and his
utter loss of all power to control his fears
were pitiful to behold. The cause of this
sudden and uncomfortable despair was the
noise of the preparation in the adjacent
room of the eXecutiOner, which the pris-
oner could not help hearing, through the
doorway which connects his cell with the
chamber of death. In the latter room men
weIe making a test of the death dealing
apparatus before launching the fatal cur
rent through the body of kemmler. In
the next room were Warden DunStan,
Electrician Barnes, OF Rochester, and
few others who had been invited to wit
ness the test. G. +. Barnes, who has been
employed to take charge of the electrical
apparatus, and who will probably pull
the fatal switch arrived on the
800 Central train yesterday and returned
TO Rochester in the evening. His stay in
town was made as secret as possible, and
there was an evident fear at the prison
that his visit would be found out by the
reporters During the brief time in the
city he did great deal of work. The belt
on the engine in the north wing was taken
off the pulley connecting with the
machinery and connected with the West
inghouse dynamo. Shortly after O'Clock
the steam was turned on, and a thorough
inspection was made of every belt and
pulley Then the room of execution was
visited, and later a thorough trial was
made of the apparatus which controls the
fearful current Everything was found to
be in working order.
