large audience was present at the opera
house last evening to witness the Y NJ G
A Columbian entertainment. They were

did itself credit 1t knows how Six
Columbian tableaux, and America were
presented with fine effect. Mr. Arch
Hammer represented Columbus, Mr.
james Charlton and Mrs T ] 0yerman

presentation of the different states before
Columbia, represented by Miss Sadie
Nelson. A prize was given for the best

WONDERFUL SALMON kuS.-The run OF
salmon ON the Siuslaw has also been i'm
mense. The Review says: The advance
guard crossed the bar on Saturday the
24th day OF September. and those who
witnessed their coming say it was
grand sight to see them as they seethed
and rolled ard squirmed almost choking
the flow OF wondering waters of the
Great Siuslaw" in their mad rush TO
get in kyles and Timmin's ready made
cans. Tmmin's seine caught in four
days upwards of 70O0; the two biggest
hauls being 1856 and lle4. The seine
WAS then laid off rs the gill nets could
easily supply all the salmon needed.
The Rose Hill cannery packed during
the week ending October 3rd, l9, 500 sal
mon, or nearly 200 tons OF fish as they
wers caught. One man alone caught in
two nights 565 fish-getting nearly 500
for two days work. Barney, one OF the
progressive Indians, tells me that he has
already made more than $500, and that
his two girls, dusky maidens OF about
- 4 II l..
proud, have filed at the Timmin's
cannery more than 1900, cans getting
Sl.26 per thousand. In fact all who have
fished as well as the cannerys have done
welt-even Kyle is satisfied.

THEATRICAL. - At the Opera House
Oct 2sth vii. come sterling actress,
Jefreys Lewis, in the great society drama,
- tForget-me-not Miss Lewis needs no
introduction TO the Albany public, for
her genius has again and again been ex-
emplified on our own stage, upon which
she is pronounced favorite. AS Steph-
anie in "Forget-m not" she is nearly
without peer on the English-speaking
stage. She masters the part in every de-
tail, being transformed into n she-deyiI,
with the heart OF fiend, and the face
and form of Hebe. The supporting
company is pronounced ususally strong,
having won encomiums everywhere dur
ing her present tour. The ladies OF this
city will no doubt be greatly interested
in the costumes of the lady members OF
the company, as they were brought over
By Miss Lewis in June from the great
Worth OF Paris. "Eorget-me- mot will be
magni6ciently staged, and no doubt will
be great production.
No SIGNS OF RAIS.-C ] Stuart, trav-
cling agent of the Oregon Pacific, was in
the CITY yesterday on business with his
company. In answer tn reporters query
as to when the o. p. would be able to run
its boats hs said: THAT'S a pretty hard
question to answer. The river stands one
foot above the extreme low water MARI
exactly where 1t was when we took the
boats off. But there are no prospects Of
rain. The barometer Is up and indications
point 10 continuance of the present. fine
fall weather. When the boats do COM
mence running we will have big busi-
ness. There are over 10000 bushels of
wheat to be brought to Salem from Buena
Vista, Ankeny and Independence, and at
other points on the river large amounts of
wheat await the tardy arrival OF the boats.' =
