THE SALMON ARE LATE


Days Later Than Ever Before.
Preparations for packing the hump
backed salmon or ..haddo. as il is called
by the Indians, are complete at Myers
cannery, and fish have been expected for
some time. Mr.. Myers now has nets and
boats ont at Mukiiteo. on Hood canal and
other points and sent the steamer Quick
step ont for q cruise yesterday. having
been notified that few had been caught
st Mukiiteo. "0h, Iii have them tomor-
row." said Mr.. Myers yesterday. ''for
they are beginning TO run at Mukilteo.
In the eighteen years / have been fishing
here never knew this run af salmon to be
so late. It is a curious thing that they
run only every alternate year, and they
come in the odd numbered years. We do
not get the haddo salmon at all in other
years, but they run every year in Alaska.
The only places here where they ara
known to come up to any extent are IN the
Straits, passing Port Angeles. in the Sno-
honiish and Puyaliup rivers. with some
scattering ones in the rivers Of Hood
canal, where they never go above

ancestors could trace 1t back. They are

not entitled to a seat, was submitted by
Chairman Vance today. The report

The report deals largely with the
manner of constituting senators and

though its purpose was to have state

NEwToUNDLAND's SEALS
Are Scarce and the Catch VIII Be Light
This Year.


st Johns Newfoundland, March 2S.--
The prospects for Newfoundland seal
fishery is very gloomy. The season is
now so far advanced that 1t is impos-
sible to expect an average catch. The
seals have abandoned the ice and can
not ybe easily killed in the water. Last
year the take was over $4,000 skins.
This year 1t will probably be not more
than one-third of that-worse even than
in 1882, the smallest number in seventy
years. This misfortune has terribly
depressing effect upon st. Johns, as it
was hoped that good seal catch this
season would help rebuild the town. 1t
us now feared that the general business
Of the country will be greatly cramped.
