Land Commission on Port Angeles tide
lands has been made up. Allen Weir,
attorney for Samuel q. Morse, petitioned

recently at the Palace Hotel, prepare

Cornely and Architect Bennett, who ac-
companied him from Chicago, were
present. Herr Cornely recited his ex-
periences in the past with expositions,
and told the gentlemen that it 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-
hibltors in Chicago, who had sent him
thlther to represent them, were anxious
TO know as soon a possible whether the
fair would be held there; otherwise they
would send their exhibits to Antwerp,
where an exhibition j. to be held imme-
dlately after the Worlds Fair. He also
assured the gentlemen that they could
certainly count on all the foreign exhib-
itors coming there. and furthermore, il

for space for their exhibits and also pay
their own transportation.

great falling off in operations this wear
Fall salmon are all OF the silyer-side
species, and are considered second grade
but, as there is no doubt that the july
pack, however large, will leave a dis
astrous shortage, this is the ONLY way
out OF the difficulty. The total business

cases, and up to June ~ last year the
figures were 1887 cases. All the cam
nerles are fully 80 per cent behind their
ordinary records. Even the gillnets.
which up to two weeks ago were meet
ing with extraordinary success, have
followed in the wake OF the trans and
seines and are now catching next tn
nothing. The continued high cold
water is no doubt mainly accountable
for this state OF things. Eleven large
traps the other morning caught twenty
five small salmon between them. and
the whole OF the seincs together have
not brought in more than ten tons Of
fish since the season started. The short
