Back From Alaska.

Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Butler arrived
home from Alaska last night, having
had one of the most delightful trips i'm
aginable. Going up on the Elder of
course everything was crowded, but
every body made the bestiof the situa-
ton, and the cosmopolitan character of
the crowd was in itself a pleasant expe-
rience. They stopped several days at
Skaguay and Dyea and enjoyed the ex-
perience. Mr.. Butler says there are
probably 1000 men at Skaguay and
Dyea and on the trails between those
points and the lakes, and that the plum
der In the shape of supplies is some
thing wonderful. With the present
facilities for getting supplies across the
mountains, he says it would take three
years to move what is now awaiting
shipment. With the opening of spring
Mr.. Butler thinks Skaguay will be a
city of $4,000 people. The great prob
lem is to devise some means of overcom-
ing the difficulties of getting freight
across the mountains, and how this will
be done is still a mystery.
They came back on the Queen, and
had pleasant trip home.

The Salmon Catch.

( Mr.. G. T. Myers, the extensively
known canneryman, who is just back
from Ruget Sound, says the Telegram,
gives very good reason for the preva-
lent decentralization in the salmon mar
ket.
"The season for canning the 'sockeye'
or red salmon, has just closed on the
sound and BIC, 900 cases of that species
have been packed there. The fall fish is
now beginning to run, from which 1 ex-
pect and equally large result" said Mr..
Myers.
"The pack on the Fraser river will be
greater than in any proceeding year.
The Gamers there are preparing to pack
1 100000 cases before the whole season
IS ended.
"The runs on the Skeena and Mass
rivers do not come up to expectations,
but the deficiency there will be compen-
sated by the Alaska product
Mr.. Myers did not venture to peer into
the future condition of the market this
year; but it stands to reason that there
will be no irmness in it. Instead OF
being handled as a staple product,
without much fuctuation, as heretofore,
this years catch will be a speculative
article with which jobbers are likely to
overstock themselves.

BIG FIRE AT ELGIN.
One Block On the Principal B Business
Street Is Swept Away.

A fire at Elgin this morning consumed
all the buildings except one on the block
on the north side of Main street from
Becker's saloon to Fines livery stable.
Particulars of the fire were brought up
by Charles Palmer, W. II. Halgarth and
Oliver Halgarth. The fire broke out in
Becker's saloon and was discovered by
Oliver Halgarth at about 1890 O'Clock,
lbut in what manner the fire originated
is as yet unknown. The flames rapidly
spread down the street and burned out
the following business places: Becker's
saloon, Payne's shoe shop, VIM. Ezell's
bsilding, Postoffice, White & McLeod's
Office, livery stable, Garrett & Hal
garth's blacksmith shop and the city
fail. There was but one building on the
block, residence building belonging to
r. G. Mays, which escaped destruction.
The people were quickly aroused by
the alarm of fire and worked the best
they could to stop the destruction of
property. Most all of the contents of
the buildings were saved. One of the
heaviest losers is VIM. Fine, proprietor
of the livery stable and meat market,
who had no insurance. 1t is stated
that there was insurance of $500 on the
saloon building. also some insurance on
Wm. Ezell's house.
This same district was swept over by
the big fire which occurred in Elgin
three or four years ago.-Friday's La
Grande Chronicle.

A Fine School.

st. Mary's academy for ladies, located
in this city and under the direction of
the Sisters, is one of the best educa-
tional institutions on the coast. The
building is of brick, large and well ven-
tilated. Besides the regular studies,
especial effort is made to instil into the
minds of the pupils a desire to form
their hearts to virtue. and to fit them to
be true and noble women. Gratuitous
lessons are given in all kinds of plain
and fancy needle work, knitting, en-
broiderv, etc. Pupils will receive the
same watchful care that would be given
them by conscientious parents. 1t is IN
fact an ideal school and a pleasant
home. Those who have girls to send to
school should write to st. Mary's acad-
emy for terms.

Turn your eyes from the skies you SO knowingly
scan,
And watt US a breath from the isles of Japan.

And don't broiI us all on your gridiron to-
eetherl

writes to the State Department at some
length concerning the efforts that are
being made in Germany to prevent the
importation and sale of American BIZ

nave been devised and the probabili-

be imposed in some form, will be adopt
ed to carry out the desires Of the Ger

some international plan should be
