eLuEBAcKs ARE ALL GONE

Asoria, Or, 10 p. m, 10th July, 1S95.-At
ell the canneries since our last repon
matters have been lively, and Though the
run has fallen off considerably in the past
two days, the work In The beginning OF
the week resulted In considerably better
fishing than has been encountered at any
time since the first two weeks of the
season. On Monday the run, which had
been improving steadily for some days,
took another upward squirt, and Tues
days returns figured up one Of the best
days work of the year. Several Of the
canneMes packed from 700 Ito 500 cases
each ON that date, and a few Of big
capacity were responsible for even larg-
er output. Since Tuesday things have
slachened up but even now the catch
compared width the stagnation Of last
month Is considered excellent. All spe-
cies Of gear are doing well, but scenes
more particularly. these contrvances
turning in a much larger proportion OF
salmon than either gill nets or traps.
The fish are OF even size, about thirty
pounds and of splendid quality with
color as good as ever. Fully eighty per
cent of the catch is made up of Chi
noolos, with the balance steelheads. Blue
backs have disappeared entirely, and
cannot even be obtained in this city for
table eating. Last year from this time
ON ito the 10Th of August fishing was very
fine, and fully 80 per cent beater than
what IT is at the present time. One fea-
ture-. of the business that Is developing
fast is that the run of steeheads Is faE-
ing very fiat. They are not so numerous
by fifty per cent ais they were at this
time last year. In TINS connecuon we
