Of the busiest workers on the exposition
committee. has given Mr. Mcclure his
hearty cooperation, and is working hard
to secure a liberal exhibit from Astoria.

for salmon, steelheads and other large
fish. which will be taken at the seining
ground near Pillar Rock. Near the aquari-
um is miniature hatchery, similar to the
one at the rooms Of the Push Club and
Mr.. Pague has given 1t the best position
in the building. What he wants now is
a display of salmon from the packers
here. He says he will pay freight to and
from Astoria on any exhibit which may
be sent, II the packers will deliver their
displays at local wharfs. He is particu-
larly desirous Of cooperation from the
canneries, as the artificial propagation ttsh
bill will be extensively advertised by such
an exhibit. Mr.. MCGUIRE also thinks the
idea an excellent one, and should be given
the attention Of the fisheries committee OF
