Since 1859 he has not missed spending
a fortnight in this city at this season
of the year. Mr.. Myers has just re-
turned from rather novel pleasure trip
by rail and water around the boun-
daries of the United States and through
the interior on breif visit to
every state and every city Of
note in the union. Mr.. Myers is
owner of the largest salmon cannery on
Puget Sound and last year put up there
the greatest pack ever made under one

we'll did it please him that he deter
mined to celebrate by making the
unique trip which he has just complet-
ed after four months Of almost constant
travel. He started from San Francis
CO, going east by the Southern route to
New Orleans and thence to Florida.
Skirting the Atlantic shore to New
York, he plunged into the interior,
down through the south, zigzagging
through the middle states back to New
England, and thence westward. After
reaching the Pacific coast again he Wis
it'd Alaska and then returned to San

accomplished discounts anything he
has ever attempted in past years.-San

Scarcity of B1ueback Salmon.

Now that the big run of blueback sal
mon so confidently looked for this sea-
son has failed to materialize, report
is in circulation to the effect that some
misguided person has planted catfish IN
wallowa lake, which has for ages been
the spawning ground OF this small but
valuable species of salmon, and the
conclusion is that there will be no more
bluebacks. 1t is to be hoped that this
is only a campaign lie, but it is to be
feared that from some cause there will
be no more big runs Of steelheads. This
will be a serious loss to fishermen, as
there is good market for canned blue
backs. Steelheads are also growing
scarce and are likely to be extermin-
ated before long. Protection has been
extended to the chinook and artificial
propagation is being extensively
brought into play to keep up the sup
ply Of these fish, but no one has done
anything for the steelhead, which is in
great demand for shipping in frozen
condition. nor for the little blueback,
which is in demand for certain markets.
If these fish are to be maintained in the
Columbia artificial propagation will
have TO be resorted to for them and
that as soon as possible. What with
traps and gillnets by the thousands,
seines and wheels wherever they can be
used. the facilities are ample for catch
ing the largest school of salmon that
comes into the Columbia before they
pass the cascades, and should any pass
this point the wheels at The Dalles are
capable of accounting for every one of
them.-Portland Oregonian.

POLAR EXPEDITION.
Perlls That Await the Traveller in tho
Far North.


Far North.
News from the polar expedition CT
Sir Martin Conway explains once more
the perils that lie ahead Of anyone
who ventures into the polar regions.
Sir Martins company in June came
upon two surviving members of crew
of four Norwegian sealers, who had
met disaster off Cape Staraschin. They
stayed too late in the season and the
ice came and embraced their vessel
They lived aboard of her until the sun
went below the horizon for it's six
months trip south. Every day they
had fine sport shooting white bears
and reindeer, and they thought they
could get through the winter alive
But the ship began to break up. They
dug place in the sand of the beach
and rooted it over with sail cloth. They
gathered their seventy carcasses OF
reindeer and placed them in heap,
needing no refrigerator. All the coal
that was in the ship they transferred
to the little hovel and settled down to
night. In January their coal gave out.
They knew of o coal seam back on
Spitzenborgen and set forth one Gay
to find it. After fourteen hours
Of fast walking they reached shelter
built by some early exploring party.
One of the men was SO badly FROST
bitten that they couldn't proceed far
ther. Two weeks they waited there
for him to recover. Then they were
compelled to return to their first camp
to get food, leaving as much as could
be spared for the sick man.
In endeavoring TO return to their
comrades they were for twelve days
buffeted by bad weather. When they
did get back to him they found him in
a painful condition. His nose was gone;
his feet and hands were black; he was
almost dead. They nurscd him until
their provisions gave out second
time. Crossing the ice they encoun-
tered two polar bears, the flesh OF
which they placed on rude sledge,
and intended to take it to their unfor-
tunate shipmate, but wind and storm
were against them, and they say they
couldn't succor him. He was left to
his fate.
In April the captain, one of the three
men remaining, fell sick with scurvy,
and soon died. So hard was the ground
now that no grave could be dug for
him. So he was laid in two old mo-
lasses barrels, covered with a sail, and
a little pyramid of sticks was set up at
his head as tomb mark.
When Sir Martin Conwas's party
found the two survivors one Of them
had scurvy He couldn't have lasted
much longer, for he had been in bed
month, living on biscuits butter and
the wild geese that his companion
shot.-Providence Journal.
