quested Judge Gray to make bhsm one,

advantage over all other ports. Figures

around ule horn from Astoria and the
ports north. The cut should then be
placed at the disposal Of AstoTia's busl-

tionery. Thus every letter written could
be middle to bear an object lesson.

very remarkable fish story n has the
afIdNvDts of several well-known Skamok-
ava fishermen 10 ~substantlase II. While

the misfortune to lose all of his hooks.
AS the fish we're very plentiful and hun-
CRY, he tied a string to a short pole n
fastened a piece of meat to the other
end Of the string. He cut a email fir,
about four feet long. Then ne held the
bait over the water, and as the FISH jump
ed UP to cate. the bait he knocked them
out ON the bank with his club, keeping
tLiat up until he had nine dozen of thu
finest mountain trout yer caught in
Washington. He will soon recover.
