Accidental Death.

Frank Harbour, aged IS years, a grand
son of Nicholas Harbour, met sudden
death Tuesday. He had started for Ly-
man Evans mill with load of long logs,
and it is supposed the drag chain broke,
precipitating the load upon the horses
that we're unable to hold it back. 1t is
probable that young Harbour was
pitched forward in front of the traverse
sleighs, amid the floundering horses. and
so was killed. The load ran down the
hill aud across a level space, where the
team and all stopped. When discovered
Mr.. Harbour was lying on his face, his
forehead being on his arms which were
folded One of them was broken, and
appearances would indicate that he must
have been hurt internally as blood had
flowed from his mouth and there was a
line of blood from where the sled was
supposed to have struck a stone, causing
the chain to break He must have been
dead couple of hours when found.

Murray and Mack in "Finnigan's
Ball."

"Finnigan's Ball. the only play that
brought Murray and Mack into promi-
nence last season, as Irish comedians of
the first rank, opens at the Opera House,
next Tuesday. This is one of the few at
fractions that made money last season in
the face of hard times; and the manage
ment have taken part of the earnings to
make the show bigger and better. All
new and more talented people have been
engaged, excepting Miss Oracle Cummings,
the SOubrette who made such bit in the
piece last season.
At the close of their last season the
play was turned oyer to Mr.. Geo. H..
limerick. the author of the piece, to re-
fit and re-write it strictly up to date. His
experience and association with Murray
and Mack in the past, as director and
stage manager of all their productions
enables him to exactly fl the parts to
the stars. And his new version of this
popular farce comedy has been even more
popular than the old version. The parts
of Conner Casey and Timothy Finnigan
are characters drawn wonderfully true to
life, and in spite of all the RIDICULOUS sit
uatiOns. close observer will See the I'M
mistakable traits of Irish eccentricities.
When the curtain finally falls on the last
act. we feel satisfied those who 90 to

Regard the Situation.

The fact that there was no change
In the joint ballot at Salem yesterday
is taken by the friends of Senator
Dolph in Portland to mean that he will
be able to hold his strength without
elect Wednesday was something Of
blow to them, but confidence is now
renewed that he will be elected. They
anticipate that the boiters will keep
up desultory firing of votes at the
numerous candidates, but by Monday
or possibly today-they will settle down
to the conviction that senator must
be elected. and then the choice of the
great majority of the Republican party
will be selected. Mr.. Charles w. F'Il-
ton, of Astoria. accompanied by his
faithful lieutenant, John Fox, is In
ehe city, but his presence is due entire
ly to private business. He will not go to
Salem today to take hand in the SEN
atoria contest although dispatch from
the capital states that he is again be- |
ing groomed for the senatorship and !
expected to leave for Salem at any
time. At the Perkins yesterday MIR. |
Fulton stated that his coming to Port
land was entirely due to private busi-
ness. He had no thought Of going to
Salem, and should he get through with
his business in time last night, he
would take the boat for home, but he
did not anticipate getting away until
today. Mr., Fulton Is a strong believer
in the supremacy Of the caucus rule,
and as soon as the majority Of the Re-
publican members decided in favor Of
Dolph, he acquiesced in the decision,
and Withdrew from the contest. Mr..
H. Tongue, another prominent
candidate, also holds similar views. and

THE PACIFIC FISHERIES.
Their Competition Is Already Felt in
the East

The prediction made at the time of
the acquisition of Alaska by the Unit
ed States that her halibut fisheries
would in time compete with those of
the North Atlantic, seems about to be
verified, says the Boston Herald. Foul
years ago companies engaged in hall
out fishing at Seattle conceived the idea
that their product could be sold in
Boston at a fair profit, and sent large
shipments to this city up to November
last. 1t proved to be financial failure,
however, and was abandoned. In No,
vember last four companies at Van
couver began to Ship large quantities
Of halibut to Boston, and their pro-
duct was handled entirely by the New
England Halibut Company, for New
England. There shipments are made
over the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the carload of halibut is attached to
the express train, which makes the
trip in about seven days. When the
fish reach Boston the two companies |
dispose of it to the dealers all over New |
En- gland.
The fish of Vancouver compares In |
flavor to the North American hallbut,
and sells for the same to the consumer,
but the dealer has the benefit of a cent
and half difference in cost, the East
ern halibut selling at eight and one
half cents per 100, while the Vancouver
haircut sells at seven cents. There
las been about 100000 pounds of fish
shipped from the West this week. The
JriUe ii Western halibut is so low that
t is impossible for the Eastern fishing
-essels to do any business, as they are
compelled TO rim at a loss. After
darch these shipments will tease. and
will be impossible to handle the
roduct on account of the risk that is
ttached to perishable goods. The
oods will spoil before reaching their
estimation unless repacked with ice
long the road, and that would not be
rotitable. This is the first season that {
lese companies have shipped their pro- |
uct to Boston. Their object is to
rive out the halibut business in the /
asst and unload their product In Bos- t
IN. These western companies can II

IN THE FAR NORTH,
The Steam Schooner Jeanie Makes An
nual Trips Into TIN Arctic.

nual Trips Into TIN Arctic.
Captain p. H. Mason, who leaves out
today with the steamer Jeanie fol-
Prince William Sound, was about the
oity last evening shaking hands with
the many friends he has made during
his short stay in Astoria. He is q
genial old skipper, and can tell as good
story with about as much force as
the best of them In speaking of his
trips north, Captain Mason said that
once each year he takes the big four
masted schooner far up above the Be-
ring Sea into the Arctic ocean, where
supplies are delivered to the whaling
crews of the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company. They encounter many dan
gers from ice foes and monster Ice
bergs, but so far have been fortunate
enough to escape any accidents. His
description of the regions Of everlast-
ing twilight is interesting in the ex-
treme. When he goes north with sup
plies for the whaling vessels, and they
are not at the rendezvous. then the
Jeanie starts out and cruises around
until she finds them. This often occu
pies many days, and not infrequently
a vessel is found wrecked among the
great ice foes, and the crew either lost
or almost persisted.
As soon as the schooner's cargo If
delivered at Prince William Sound she
will return to San Francisco and take
on supplies for the whaling feet in the
North.
