Washington until his return he found

Mr. Clark of Dewatto returned last
Saturday from a summers work in the
mines of British Columbia, where he is

has however entered the Canal on the
same business. Prices have fallen a
little.
There are about forty-fve camps of
fishers along the Canal, with four or
FIVE persons to a camp. They are get
ting very few fish and begin to think
that this is an off year. They think
the supply of fish is likely to be ex-
hatlsted and that salmon hatchery
ought to be established on the Skoko-
mish river. They held a caucus a
short time ago and determined to sup
port those candidates at election for
the legislature who would pledge
themselves to work for such a hatch
cry.
The candidates are abroad on the
Canal, mainly democratic and populist
so far, as far as know. Among them
have been Messrs Hicks, Forbes, Knee
land and Duckworth.
Mr.. Wins1ow of Tacoma has also
visited this region. He is a silverite
