Fish Cultural Work.

According to the annual report Of Fish
Commissioner Bowers, the propagration
and distribution of food fishes during
the last fiscal year exceeded by about
40 per cent. the work accomplished in
any other similar period. The mum Der
of adult and yearling fishes, fry and
eggs, distributed in public and private
waters, or transferred to the State au-
thorities, was over $50, 900, 900, of which
by far the largest number represented
important commercial species, like the
shad, cod, whitetish salmon, f1atfsh,
lake trout, herring, pike, perch and
lobster. In the distribution of this
enormous output from the hatcheries to
the waters to be stocked, the cars and
messengers of the commission travelled
over 220, 900 miles, entering every State
and territory.
An important new feature of the fish
cultural work was the Matching of L.
800, 900 fry of the grayling at the Bose
man Mont. station. This fine food and
game fish has very limited dstribu-
tion.
The commissioner regards as especially
worthy Of mention the immense exten-
ton of the salmon Matching works on the
Pacific coast.
The most valuable of the fishery re-
sources of the country, the oyster, has
been the subject of a number of special
Investigations. Experiments in the fat
tening Of oysters for market were con
tinued at Lynnhaven, Va. The preva-
lence of green oysters in the Chesapeake
region and elsewhere proved a serious
loss to the oyster growers, but it has
been repeatedly demonstrated by the com
mission that the green oysters owe their
color to vegetable matter which they re
ceive as food, and that no impairment in
the food value of the oyster results from
this condition.

The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1898-09-13

A common point at Astoria on wheat
would be OF immense value to inland pro-
dueers. 1t can be demonstrated that on
this seasons crop OF wheat alone. the
saving to eastern Oregon and Washing
ton farmers. Il their grein could be loaded
al Astoria instead Of Portland. would
amount to the enormous sum OF two
million dollars With common railway
point a, the mouth OF the Columbia, the
same as at Tacoma and Seattle. the grain
Of the Inland Empire now loaded at Port
land. and much OF that now going over
the mountains to Puge; Sound. would be
transhipped to ocean vessels at Astoria.
This would be a WONDERFUL aid to the
growth and development Of Astoria. but
important as It would be. the loading OF
grain on ocean vessels at the mouth OF
the Columbia paies into lnsigniNcanee.
so far as its effect upon the development
OF Astoria is concerned. beside the mar
velons possibilities which would follow
the extension OF the common point on
lumber The lower Columbia river is es-
sentially a lumber country. Experts have
repeatedly pronounced Astoria's loca-
tion as the most ideal in the whole coun-
Try for the manufacture Of lumber. The
intersection and combination Of numerous
tide water and rapidly flowing mountain
streams: the formation and slope Of the
rusged hills and mountains surrounding
Astoria; the millions Of acres OF virgin
timber adjacent to these waterways: the
conjunction Of a railway connecting every
railway ramihcation on the continent with
the deep water OF the great Pacific
ocean. all go to make the common point
humber question one far transcending that
of the wheat in Its consequences to AS
torAa. A common point on wheat would
put two million dollars per year into the
pockets Of the oregon and washington
farmers. with an incidental million. per-
haps, TO Astoria shop keepers. but the
common point on lumber would create
city OF twenty. thirty. fifty. or hundred
thousand inhabitants. on the present site
OF Astoria within comparatively a few
months or years. The common point on
wheat is a great proposition, but the COM
mon point on lumber is an infinitely
greater one.

The objection alleged by President
Mohler to the extension Of the lumber
common point to Astoria is that Port
land mills now occupy and are fully ca
pable OF supplying all territory reached
by the o. r. & n. company and its con-
Meeting system. To give Astoria COM
mon point rate. he is understood TO have
urged would mean the division Of this
territory with Astoria. What Atoria sue
ceeded in selling would mean that much
less business for Portland. But not only
In this respect would it be contrary to
the present interests and policy of the o.
r. & n. company to extend the lumber
point to Astoria; Portland having every
facility for supplying the demands of the
trade in the o. r. & n. territory, to ad-
NIT competitor TO that territory from
point one hundred miles west Of Port
land, without increasing the quantity
which the o. r. & N company would
otherwise and anyway carry, would i'm
pose upon that company the hardship OF
having TO divide It's legitimate earnings.
