Twcnty-scvcn Canneries are packing
salmon on the Fraser river this year,
and ,325 boats are at work. Sockeyc
salmon, which is the only variety packed
there in large qualities are running now
in immense numbers, the average take
bv steady fishermen being 1000 Tor
twelve hours. The run has never been
better than ut present, and the canncr-
les cannot get away with the quantity Of
fish supplied them, though some OF them
are packing 800 cases daily. Recently
fish were so plentiful that cents each
was the price asked by many fishermen;
but, owing to the great supply, numbers
were unable to SELL If the run contin-
ues ten days longer, as it doubtless will,
the pack will aggregate fully 400, eco
eases the largest ever put up on the
Fraser river, while some Gamers expect
the pack to run over 800, 600 cases.
Every packing establishment has made
preparations to pack to their full capaC-
ity, and will fill every can.
The following item is from recent
issue OF the Worlds Columbian Illus
trated, the official organ Of the exposi-
ton: "Oregon has adopted unique
and practical method OF displaying the
woods produced in that State. AT Jack
son Park there is u house constructed
entirely OF Oregon woods. 1t is ten feet
square and nineteen feet high, and is
snrmounted by an open cupola. The
body OF the structure is n yellow pine.
The roof is OF red. cedar shingles, and is
supported by four Doric columns. The
columns are of maple, and are very rich
" carved. The roof of the cupola is
supported by four small DoriC columns
of carved oak. The interior is finished
with panel work containing about all the
woods of the State, among which are
man2anita, madrone, yew, laurel, myT-
tie, ash, maple, oak, spruce, balm, fir,
sugar pine, blrd's-eye pine, cherry, curly
maple and alder. The house forms the
Oregon pavilion in the forestry building"
Here is another high compliment in a
recent editorial correspondence to the
st. Joseph (Mo) Herald: adjoining
the exhibits of Missouri in both the hor-
ticuItural and agricultural buildings are
the displays Of Oregon, the Legislature
of which State appropriated a scant $780,
600 in all for the purpose of properly
representing the States resources and
industries at the Worlds Fair. The con-
trast between the two displays is so great
as TO put all Missourans to shame. In
the Oregon booth in the horticultural
building over sixty varieties of annles
are shown fresh and beautiful on plates,
while there are countless jars and boxes
OF peaches, plums, prunes, etc, so ar
ranged as to demand the attention of all
who pass. Visitors rush through the
dusty Missouri space to get into the Or
egon booth and admire the products of
the far Western State as arranged so
captivatingly. The same is true of the
agricultural exhibits. While the Mis-
souri, pavilion is more favorably located
it does not command one visitor, while
dozens visit Oregon and inspect her
honest exhibits of grain and grasses and
the general product of the farm. Her
wheat is shown in two-bushel sacks, and
all who wish to examine it have only to
delve into the sacks and try handful"
