Grafting With Different Sorts.

Grated apple trees are interesting
objects. We know one tree, whose
stock is mongrel and nondescript,
which has been grated on every limb.
None of the original fruit of the tree is
borne, as the various limbs are bearing
grated Siberian crabs, Spitzenbergs,
Pound-sweet, Baldwin and GoldenRus-
sets. Strange to say the mixture on
this particular tree causes no confusion.
The different varieties, five in number,
go on blooming and bearing and ma
turing, each in its own time, just as
though each had its own private trunk
running down into the ground. Some
of these varieties ripen in August, and
the other in September and October

WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from $2
$3.50 per day, and she employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $I.50 to So;
Woodworkers $1.50 to So;
Farm labor 500. to $25. per month;

RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from SIS

scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap, and one

LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
cifc and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-of lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from ST. to So per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract

We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find partly improved ranch and buy
it, where they will find everything

Several important recommendations
to the legislature are made The COM
missioner asks for clearer definition
OF pound nets and set nets, and that
better protection be given seines. The
close season should be changed in the
different districts to correspond 10 the
needs of each locality. Mr. Little asks
that rivers on which hatcheries are To-
Gated be closed against all classes of
fishing save with hook and line, and
more general discretion be given the
commissioner regarding all rivers IN
this respect. A change in the license
fee is urged so they will fall more eq-
uitably upon the different classes of
fishing gear and be raised sufficiently
as to establish and maintain COM
plete system of hatcheries through
out the state.
The commissioner suggests that all
men engaged in the fishing business
who fish either for themselves or an
employer be charged license fee of
81. The Oregon legislature passed a
similar measure at its recent session.
Mr. Little asks that the present sys-
tenn OF employing a number of depu-
ties for fifty days be done away with
and instead one deputy be allowed
who will work the entire year If
more hatcheries are built more help
will be needed.
The closed season for oysters is be-
lieved to be too short, and it is asked
that the season be extended. Better
protection of the natural oyster beds
against their natural enemies, the
star fish and other inhabitants of the
deep is suggested
The report reviews oyster culture
thoroughly and that part relating to
the introduction of Eastern oysters is
especially exhaustive. Commissioner
Little asks that an experimental STA
tion be established for their introduce
ton. Experiments which have been
made are characterized as folly, as
they have not received proper atten-
tion and the necessary direction has
been lacking. Experiments would be
conducted at this station on the prop
agation of fish and especially of stur-
geon. Many disputed points could be
easily settled at the station. The
commissioner states that he is satisfied
the Sound offers the best location in
the world for the successful conduct
of the lobster industry if they could
be introduced. Mr.. Little believes
this question could be settled at the
experiment station. He is confident
Of its success.
The recommendations for new
hatcherles are similar to those out
lined previously.
Mr.. Little advises that the fish
commissioner be made state game
warden and that the county wardens
assist in the protection of the fisher
les and the law in regard to special
deputy fish commissioners be repeal
ed.
Several of the largest firms engaged
in the fishing industry failed to send
in early reports of their business and
the annual report of the commission
er was delayed. Mr.. Little urges
change in the law Which would make
it obligatory upon the firms to send in
an early report.-Ledger.

The report shows a falling off in the
catch and pack of salmon on the
/ Sound and on the Columbia river, due
entirely to The light run of fish. The
run in 1897 was phenomenal one,
and 1t was anticipated by fishermen
that the run this year would be light.
The year In the water compared favor
ably with that of last year, and the
relative catch was perhaps ever larger
than in 1897. In the Grays Harbor
and Willapa Harbor districts the catch
and pack of 1898 was larger than in
| 1897. The run there is estimated to
have been greater than for the past
three years. Higher prices prevailed
and the value of the output from these
two districts was greatly benefited.
In 1897 the oyster output of the
Sound district was 10000 sacks. This
year the output was increased to &c.
500 sacks. In 1897 the cultivated beds
on the Sound covered $40 acres, and
this year the total was S35.
Grays Harbor produces no oysters,
bat the clam and crab output of the
district increased from 2,20O sacks of
CLAIMS and 900 boxes of crabs IN 1897
to 2,7OO sacks of CLAIMS and l. .l30 boxes
of crabs this year.
Willapa harbor produced 10000
sacks of oysters of 1897, and 46,5oO
sacks were taken this year.
The fish commissioner estimates the
shortage of the Columbia river salmon
pack over 1897 to be 10 per cent, and
adds that the Washington side shows
slightly increased percentage loss
over that of the whole district. The
Puget Sound shortage is still more
marked. The enormous run of sal
mon on the Frazer river is credited
with being responsible in large de-
gree with the larger catch of 1897.
This year The Frazer run fell off large
lly. The run of salmon in other
streams tributary to the Sound was
fully as great as that of 1897.
The hatchery work has been increas-
ed during the past year, and good re-
suits are predicted. The report shows
by the history of the Atlantic coast
fisheries that unless Washington arti-
| fetal propagation scheme is furthered
the depletion of the salmon and stur-
geon fisheries may be expected. In
teresting figures are given to show the
value OF the plan of artificial propaga-
J ton.

Tho Fish Commissioners Report.

Fish Commissioner A. G. Little has
submitted his annual report to Cover
nor Rogers, and the document will
soon be in the hands of the state print
er. The report of Mr.. Little is an ex-
haustive one, going into the details of
the fishing industry, reviewing its
start and showing the stage of its pres
ent development fully. The report
covers 100 pages of closely typewriter
manuscript.
The report of the commissioner
shows Washington fisheries had total
output of $3,O64,796 during the past
year. The output of the Sound was
the largest, with the Columbia river
district second. The figures on the

Passenger Agent Moody Of the PENN
sylvania Here.
SUPREME COURT DECISION
EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON THE
TRAFFIC SITUATION.
The Matter Discussed By Mr.. Moody
Mr.. Babcock Expected Home To-
morrow-A Tie Contractor In
Trouble-Travel to Cuba-Spreck-
els New Car-Railway Notes.

Assistant General Passenger Agent
Samuel Moody of the Pennsylvania
lines, with headquarters at Pittsburg,
is in the city. Travelling Passenger
Agent Hull of the same line, with
headquarters at Denver, accompanies
him.
Mr.. Moody does not anticipate any
special change in the traffic situation
by reason of the supreme courts de-
cision knocking out the Joint Traffic
association. So far as the Pennsyl-
vania lines are concerned, they are
among the most direct from Chicago
to the seaboard, AMI least liable to suf-
fer. The decision overruled all agree
ments as to passenger differentials,
but so far the standard lines have not
seen fit to make the reductions.
So far as the freight rate situation
is concerned no serious cutting is an
ticipated. 1t is a matter of history
that rates were never better main
tanned by the western roads than dur
ing several months following the
Trans Missouri decision.
Like most railroad men, Mr.. Moody
believes that some such an association
as the Joint Traffic arrangement would
be a good thing for the railroads, as
well as the shipper. AS the law, as
Interpreted ny lHe supreme COURT 1OI
bids the railroads from entering into
an agreement to advance and maintain
rates, it would now be difficult to
bring to an end any rate war, as really
the only way of ending one is by
agreement of the officials of the va
rious roads. A rate war is always in
| furious to the railroads and most gen
| orally to the shipper. A few may gain
advantage, but it is disastrous to
| business generally
