"A large number of salmon are reported
in Smith river at the present time, but
nothing can be done in the way of catch
ing them on account Of the Closed sea-
son for fishing, as laid down by the fish
laws passed by the last legislature. This
law was framed to protect the Sacra-
mento river, and the cannerymen and
fisherymen on the salmon streams Of
the state are compelled to have their
business ruined for its protection, es-
pecially in Humboldt and Del Norte, this
being the time Of year when the run of
salmon in Smith river, klamath and Eel
rivers Is the largest.-Coquille Herald.
A Berlin paper (Kuhlow's) says:
English shippers are taking an unfavor-
able attitude towards the canal. 1t is
most probable that Germany has to do
with firm ring OF interested parties
formed to boycott the canal and thus to
obtain a reduction in the canal dues,
whiGh would mean further profit for the
English carrying trade at German ex-
pense. 1 would therefore be wen to await
quietly further Developments in the re-
ceipts OF the canal, and to grant ad-
vantages to German Dutch and Belgian
North sea ports until the English see
their way to yield. Any further reduc-
ton of the dues would mean the predom-
nance OF English coal in the Baltic. Ger
many should not neglect to make the
most OF the English boycott, and to OBJ
tain possibly the greatest part Of Rus |
sian freight business for German North |
sea ports"
