THE DEPARTURE FOR lLlwAco,
Forty Members OF the National Guard
on a Detail That May Not Be
Pleasure Jaunt.

The depsrtlrre of fcrty-seven we'll

fishermen's strike on the Columbia river
on the la.eo train yesterday afternoon was
witnessed by large crowd or trienos' Inc
boys were IN high spirits and went iortn
on what may prove disastrous de'aii
with enthusiasm. The forty men
were taken from d. B and Z companies OF
the National Guard; the first furnishing
sixteen men and each of the other TWO
twelve men. Brighten. Z. NJ. Carr VIII

man was allowed forty rounds OF ammu-

were taken. That the expedition on which
the militiamen have been ordered Is nor

carried the Seattle niltiamen to the scene
of the fishermen's strike. 1t had been
hoped by the authorities 10 keep the move
ment of troops secret and have the mill
tia established upon the river before the
strikers were aware OF the move. This
hope. however. has been in vain. Gen.
Boutelle says the stay of the men on the
river will be regulated by circumstances,
bur that they will be kept upon the scene
of trouble so long as is necessary for the
protection Of property.
The traps and boats will be guarded by
means OF steamboats,. which will carry
troops and patrol the river outside the
fishing appliances. Gen. Boutelle says
serious troubla may result. and If II be-
comes necessary for the militia TO resort
TO extreme measures against disturbers
from the Oregon side, il will probably re-
suit in the existence of an everlasting
feud between the fishermen on the two
sides of the river

SALMON PACKERS UNANIMOUS.
VIII Not Yield to the Fishermen-All
Quiet on the River,

Astoria, Or, April 9.-All of the salmon
packers on the lower Columbia river were
represented at a melting held here this
afternoon, and, Notwithstanding the ru-
mors to the contrary, they were unanimous
in support of the position previously taken
by them 10 pay only cents per pound for
raw material this season. The packers as
sert that buyers are not even now will
ing to pay prices which justify a AGENT
rate on raw material. With one exception,
there is perhaps not packer on the river
who is not carrying over a large stock OF
spring goods of first quality. and there Is
no announcement to put up goods this
year at prices which will entail loss The
assertion made by the fishermen that New
York prices on canned goods would Justify
the payment of cents the packers say is
not in accordance with facts. The meeting
was held behind closed doors, but the fore
going facts were disclosed this evening by
some OF the members.
There has been no violence anywhere
on the river but as both parties are very
determined ii seems probable that should
any of the packers attempt 70 run their
canner!es or procure fish from non-unicn
men there will be war. From present in
dications ii IS hardly possible that a pound
or nsh Will be put up for a month or six
weeks. The trapmen are prepared to re-
sist any further invas;ons on their prop
erty. but from the best Information oh
tainable Il Is not likely that any more at
tempts will be made to destroy the traps.
In any event. the pack this year will be
far short of an average. but 1t is thought
that with the stocks already on tAni the
markets VIII have about the usual amount
of first-grade chinook.

The Commercial, OF the same city
expresses its feelings ss follows:
"The National Democratic convention
az Chicsgo nominated Mr.. Bryan, of
Nebraska, because he had loud voice,
fine presence and had made speech
that could be heard and accorded with
the sentiments OF the delegates. ar.
Bryan got a seat in the convention by
virtue OF vote reversing the action of
his State convention and of the Nat
ional Committee of his party. He is
the most inexperienced and untried
man ever nominated for the Presidency
by one OF the great National PARTIES
The New York Press says:

Cycling Items in General.

Cycling Items in General.
Some people are of the opinion shat
the League of American Wheelmen will
be called upon TO try to suppress road
racing. Prominent l.. A. W. officials
talked with recently say that as the or
ganizatiOn does not recognize such
sport that it might be considered unbe-
coming for the L. A. W. to take any
official recog ni5ion of she master.
Clear headed cyclists are beginning
TO see the danger to which they are
drifting in the matter of good road
movement. Too much attention has
been given to Cycle paths TO the real
detriment Of the roads. Good advice
30 cy clists is TO work for cyolo paths
only when it is impossible to secure
good roads.
Crash suits for wheelmen are bscom-
ing wonderfully popular, particularly in
the larger cisies. Old time cyclists
watch bhis effort at display with dis
dam. A few years ago the cyclist
dressed for comfort when he went out
for ride. Now that the society ele-
nent has tsksn up the wheel the effect
can be seen in tbs attire of the average
and wheeIwomsn. 10 the
larger cities two sweaters were seen a !
year ago TO one today.
What would wheslmen 10 this country
say if they had to do gs the Rouman-
ans do? There every cyclist is com
Delied bY law to have his mama and a6-
dress, not only on a plate fastened to
his machine, but also on the glass in
ais lamp SO that it can be read at night.
So many applications for space have
already been received that the great
of both the Eastern and West
I'm National Cycle shows are already
ssured. The members Of the Cycle
3oard of Trade are, IN consequence,
.reatly pleased over the manner in

The Queer Revenge Which Was Taken by a
Traveller Upon a Turkish Hoteikeeper.
Some time ago an Englishman Wis

the dominion of the sultan. of Turkey.
On asking for his hotel bill before
leaving he found himself charged out
rageous prices for the sorry accommo-
dation he had received. He flew into
a rage, but finally, on the advice of his
wife, paid the whole amount A few
days afterwards the hotel keeper re-
ceived a letter. saying: 'Your prices
are too hight" A few weeks later a
package arrived. The inn keeper re-
moved wrapper after wrapper, 100 of
them, and then found a. card on which
was written: "Your prices are toe
hight" a few months later. quite
lately, a large box was sent him, and he
paid a goodly sum for freight charges.
On opening it, and after doing a TIRE
mendous amount of unpaci1ing, he
found another card: Your prices are
too high!" Since then the poor man
has refused to accept any more letters,
