ton especially. Covers had been laid
for one hundred, and when the toast
master gave the signal for all to be

few seats unoccupied. Hardege's or

WHAT UNCLE SAM
Is Doing for the Columbia River
Salmon Industry.
Commission HAS No Money TO kaste 10 Trout
Streams. but kill Plant 1t for
Commercial Good.

The newly elected fish commissioner
Of the United States cannot be too
highly commended for the action he is
taking in regard to the propagation OF
salmon in the Columbia river. Two OF
three months ago he sent Special Agent
Wilcox here, who made a careful ex-
animation Of the situation here and
forwarded to Washington an elaborate
report. Upon receipt of this report,
the commissioner telegraphed VI. ].
Kinney and others asking what in their
opinion was the best place to locate a
branch hatchery on the Columbia or
its connecting streams. Later he sent
other agents to look into that partic-
ular part of the subject, and finally
sent out DR.. L. o. Fox and Mr.. B. W
Eyermann with authority TO establish
the first hatchery. These gentlemen
after carefully examining the entire
subject and making further personal
investigation, decided to locate the first
hatchery at the Cascades, and the work
Is now rapidly nearing completion.
ScOws were arranged for with wheels
to dip the fish, and soon Uncle Sans
ffrt hatchery will be in good working
order
The commissioner at Washington
says he has no money to waste in fan
cy trout streams, but intends TO spend
it where it win do the most good COM
mercially. The appropriation at his
command is S45O,OOO. It is a well known
fact that the Columbia river has been
doing one-ffteenth Of the fish business
Of the United States, and is therefore
entitled to one-ffteenth Of the appro- !
priation. Other hatcheries, the COM
missioner says, will be established as
rapidly as possible OF different points
on or contiguous TO the. Columbia river. /
II the fish commissioner energetically |
pursues the course which he has out
Columbia river cannot be measured.
The future wealth and growth Of the
city will more than be doubled, and the
value to the community at large will
be almost equal to that of the railroad.
DR.. Cox stated when here that the
commissioner was determined to re-
stock the Columbia river with one
hundred million fish every year. In
view Of all these facts it certainly be-
hooves the people of Astoria and Oregon
to supplement the work Of the commits
sioner in every possible manner and as
sIst him in practical way to secure
the most eligible sites for hatcheries.
Let this work be carried on carefully ,
and on scientific principles, and in ten
years time Astorias population will E;

ishing business alone. Astorians should I

Washington, August lS.-Arrange-
ments are progressing for the reception
OF Ii Hung Chang when he arrives in
this country on August 2s. The Chin
ese minister and his suite will go to
New York 10 receive the Earl, by which
title Ii Hung Chang is known among
his countrymen Of rank. Secretary
John W. Foster, who Is now in the
Adirondacks, will be in New York on
August 20. 10 make preliminary ar
rangements, and, will return there on
the 9th TO take part in the reception.
Besides the visits TO Washington and
Philadelphia, which Ii will make,
strong efforts are being made to have
his trip extended 10 Boston, where a
reception will be given him. The first
arrangements were such as to make
the Boston visit impossible, but It is
felt among the officials here that after
his arrival some changes win be made
so as to permit the Boston trip.
General Miles and others representing
various branches Of the government,
will confer with the Chinese minister
here as to the arrangements for his
reception. It is probable an officer OF
the army and one from the navy will
be assigned to meet the Chinese states-
man and accompany him on his trip.
1t is probable, also, that a detail Of
troops from Governors Island will take
part in the reception at New York and
that troop Of cavalry from Fort Myer |
will assist in the exercises here.
