The test case agreed upon as an out

Land Commission on Port Angeles tide |
lands has been made up. Allen Weir, |
attorney for Samuel q. Morse, petitioned |
the board for findings in Morse's behalf, |

tition for specific reasons that local |
boards were legislated out of existence

A formal discussion OF the proposed
Worlds Fair in San Francisco was held
recently at the Palace Hotel, prepara-
tory to general meeting later. Herr
Cornely and Architect Bennett, who ac-
companied him from Chicago, were
present. Herr Cornely recited his ex-
perienees in the past with expositions,
and told the gentlemen that il was nee
essary for San Francisco to take some
action at once on the proposition to have
the fair, for, he said, 1900 foreign ex-
hibitors in Chicago who had sent him
thither to represent them, were anxious &.
to know as soon as possible whether the |
lair would be held there; otherwise they {
would send their exhibits TO Antwerp,
where an exhibition is TO be held imme-
diately after the Worlds Fair. He also i
assured the gentlemen that they could {
certainly count on all the foreign exhib- =
itors coming there, and furthermore, if | /
1T were necessary, they would gladly pay | /
for space for their exhibits and also pay | /
their own transportation. I
1t IL now considered almost certain 7
that, contrary to the usual custom, the !
canneries along the Columbia river will
be compelled TO pack salmon as far h
along as October, ON account of the a
great falling of in operations this year. Ii
Fall salmon are all OF the silver-side |
species, and are considered second grade. o
but, as there is no doubt that the July A
pack, however large, will leave a dis 81
lstrous shortage, this is the only way cl

or the whole season to date is 122, 2S6 L
asses, and up to June 20 last year the al
igures were 1874 ,9l7 cases. All the can in
eries are fully 90 per cent behind their IT
rdinary records. Even the gillnets, b,
'hich up to two weeks ago were meet
az with extraordinary success, have ii
)liowed in the wake OF the traps and "
zines and are now catching next to n,
othing. The continued high cold b
