AS showing the growth Of Alaska, says
the Coast Mail, the coming trip of Capt.
Bryant Inspector of hulls, and 9. Z.
Cherry, inspector of boilers, is pertinent.
In prior years there has been no occasion
for the inspectors to visit the Aelutian
peninsula, stem craft of no description
being owned in that region. Now 1t is
different, and eighteen vessels, some OF
which have never been inspected, are
in those distant waters and have to be
looked after. The trip will occupy about
two months, and will cover more than
1000 miles of water journey.
Deputy Fish Commissioner Houchen in
forms us, says the South Bend Journal,
that matters have so far progressed on
the Chinook, that this week the trans
portation of GOO large salmon will be
commenced Putting in the fish just at
Judgment of Mr.. Houchen and also of
Superintendent Hubbard, considering it |
at least month too early, but 1t is at
the orders of Fish Commissioner Craw-
ford and 1t will be done. A month later
would be plenty early, and just as large
salmon and as many of them could be
obtained then as now, and there is really
nothing to be gained by putting them in
now.
Governor McGraw replying to a ques-
ton by a Post-Intelligencer reporter,
said: II have requested Assistant At

ceedings taken against the Washington
fishermen charged with violation of the
Oregon Sunday law by fishing in the
Columbia river on that day He will rep
resent the state of Washington in the
proceedings in the federal court. have
no. closely examined the entire law on
the subject, but my conviction, based
on the law defining the boundaries of the
state is that the claim of Oregon is not
well founded. There may, however, be
other governing statutes. will not fail
to do all that is lawful to uphold the
rights of our citizens"
Captain Starr, mate of the Ilwaco, had
Il very HdITOW ESCAPE lIOll OWulhb
yesterday afternoon when the steamer
was on her way across to this city. He
was talking to the captain and leaning
against the gate of the top deck railing
just as the steamer was passing Sand Is
land near Republic spit. The gate gave
way with a sudden iurch of the boat,
throwing Starr violently into the river.
The Ilwaco was imme6 1tely stopped and
put about Two fisherm II witnessed the
accident and ran their boat up to the
spot as quickly as possible. Starr was in
the water fully ten minutes, struggling
hard against the current, which in that
locality is very treacherous. He was fast
becoming very weak when the fshbcat
reached him and he was hauled aboard.
Jacob Kamm does not take kindly to
the action of his fellow directors OF the
1. r. and N. Co., In leaslns -, steamer
Ocean Wave to the Columbia River &
Puget Sound Transportation company, !
and as a consequence has placed a libel
on the steamer in the sum of $l7,3n for
services rendered by the Vancouver
company. This will most
likely result in the Ocean Wave being
tied up to the dock during the entire sum

split in the board Of directors can be

pride in the Ocean Wave and the steamer
has really become a favorite with the
women and children going to the coast
during the summer, and that any other
company than his own should have the
handling OF the boat is a proposition
Jacob Kamm cannot tolerate. Should by
any possibility the Ocean Wave be re-
leased from the libel, then, 1t Is stated,
Mr.. Kamm will place the steamers I'm
