THE FISH INDUSTRY.
Pack as Given In Annual Report Of
Commissioner Reed, of Oregon.

Fish Commissioner F. G. Reed, Of
Oregon, has filed his annual report in
the office Of the governor. The report
covers the year ending October 81,
1899. 1t is voluminous document
and covers the years work in detail.
On the subject OF hatcheries the re-
port reviews the progress in locating
and constructing the buildings and the
work accomplished in the state during
the past year.
The number of chinook salmon eggs
taken from the different hatcheries in
Oregon tributary to the Columbia river
for the year 1899, is as follows:
Upper Clackamas hatchery. 1900 900
Salmon river hatchery. ............. 600 nN
Clackamas hatchery ............... 1.o0o0
Total for oregon. $500. 90
Chinook salmon eggs taken on the

Total for Columbia river. .23, 100 600
From the salmon that were marked
by Mr.. Hubbard, Matched from eggs
taken in 1895, there were caught dur
ing the season of 1898, 375 fish weigh
ing from 10 to so pounds each. Dur
ing the season of 1899 the packers and
dealers have neglected to watch for the
marked fish as we'll as they should.
says the report, but between 40 and 30
have been reported, the average weight
being nearly 10 pounds greater than
those taken in 1898.
The report shows a falling off In the
number of cases of salmon canned dur
ing the past season on the Columbia as
compared with 1898. This is in part
accounted for by the increased number
of pounds of salmon handled by the
cold-storage concerns.
The following statistics OF the SAL
mon pack are given:

wholesale and manufacturing lines is

1t is undisturbed by the money situa-
ton. the influence OF which has been
confined TO speculative circles. Holt
day trade, on the other hand. has been
given decided impetus, and COMPARE
sons with the same period of preceding
years are uniformly favorable, little
doubt remaining that although retail
trade in seasonsble lines has been az
fected in some localities by unfavor-
able weather, holiday specislties have
enjoyed exceptional activity. As re-
CARDS prices, ii is notable fact that
as many staples have advanced this
week as there have declined, while by
far the larger number of quotations
have remained steady or firm. The
strength of textiles is still most nota-
BILE feature of the general situation.
Cotton goods are he~vily sold ahead

ness has already been booked. Raw
cotton is firm and unchanged on the

agriculture. Manufactured goods,
where not advanced, are firmly held.

SHOT WIFE AND SONS.
Jealous Man Then Sent Bnllet Through
His Own Head.

Tacoma, Dec. 1S.-Adam Crist de-
liberately shot his wife fatally, killed
his S-year-old son, seriously wounded
a second son, aged 5 years, and then
ended the tragedy by putting bullet
through his own brain. Jealousy is the
only motive assigned for the crime.
Crist is the proprietor of the Chicago
house, and returned this morning from
a six months business trip to Spokane.
He was at the hotel during the
morning, and apparently in the best of
health and spirits. About 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon ne went to a Pacific
avenue pawnbroker and purchased two
revolvers. He stopped a few doors
away at a drug store and bought %
cents worth of vitriol. He must have
proceeded directly home, for the shoot
ing occurred only a few moments later.
Crist was in the hotel kitchen, on
the second floor, when his wife was
called to the head of the stairs to talk
to peddler. After the interval of
few moments he sent the younger child
to ask her to come to the kitchen.
Immediately afterward four shots were
fired, all of which were found to have
taken effect in her body. He then
turned the revolver ON the little boy
and wounded him in the leg, but the
child managed to crawl down the stairs
and escape.
The woman staggered to the side
walk and Crist went into the hall,
where he caught the S-year-old boy.
There are no witnesses to this part of
the tragedy. but from the position of
the bodies Crist must have held the lad
close to him while he put bullet
through his heart. A 4l-caliber bullet
through his own head followed, and
both bodies fell to the floor, still
clasped in each others arms.

A NEW COPPER DISTRICT.
Development on Trout Creek, in Crook
County.

Development on Trout Creek, in Crook
County.
Little has been said regarding the
Trout creek mining district, in Crook
county, Oregon, and the outside world
is consequently unaware of the fact
that great mine is here being devel-
oped. The visitor to the camp sees
this at once, and naturally wonders that
no news reaches the public regarding
such propositions. The property, con-
sisting of ~ claims in a group, has
been provided with substantial and
commodious buildings, all fully fur.
nished and equipped. On the hill at
the shaft is so horsepower economy
boiler, 8 by 10 hoist; pipe lines for
watsr supply from the pump in the
ravine. blacksmith shop and the frame
work for raising the gallows frame, "a
feet in height, for operating the hoist;
also cars and ample trackage.
The shaft descends on the dip of the
vein, the present angle being about 30
degrees from perpendicular, and hoist
ing will be accomplished bv self-dump-
ing skip. A depth of 1870 feet has been
gained, with about 100 feet OF drifts
and prosecuting at the 100 foot level.
Ores of all grades are scattered about
the dumps awaiting the construction OF
the ore bins.
The vein itself is of the type known
as Replacement" and occupies an east
and west fault line, cutting square
across rounded knoll; the ores occur
as space Filings along the fault, but
mainly replacing the crushed andesite
on the foot side of fracture, being grad
ually lost as distance is gained from the
fracture through the foot, no sharp line
characterizing the ending of values,
and the crushed zone showing an ex-
ira width of 100 feet at the crown of
the hill. The immediate country is
augite-andesite, a circular tract OF this,
very much faulted, by simple subsi-
dence, occurring in a region of sheet
and faulted basalts and other lavas,
these latter overlaid by a sheet of por-
phyry. Other prospects with very
good showings occur in this tract, and
the time is not distant when the merits
of the camp will be established
Surely Oregon has added another pro-
Queer to her list of mines.

tary League, left here last night for st.
Louis, where he will hold conference
with the governors of several states
friendly to the free coinage of silver,
relative to a suit which is about to be
begun by the state of Colorado for the
purpose of securing decision by the
United States supreme court, as to the
legality of the decentralization of silver
The general assembly of the state
passed joint resolution authorizing
the governor to take steps to bring this
question before the supreme court.
After consultation with prominent pub
lie men of the state, Governor Thomas
settled upor course Of action. The
first step was to authorize President
Rucker, under the great seal OF the
state, to confer with other governors
and raise funds necessary to bring a
case before the supreme court OF the
United States.

the idea been cordial, and it is possible
Mr.. Rucker will go to that state and
meet the governor and state officials
before proceeding to Washington.
Suit against the government will be-
gin in Denver. The United States
Monetary League will give the state of

The treasurer OF the state will then
formally present the brick to the state.
The state will send it to the United
States mint at Washington, with the
demand that it be coined into 100 sill
yer dollars.
This demand, OF course" says Mr..
Rucker, will be refused. Upon the
refusal, suit will be entered in the
United States supreme court, for we
have no right, under the constitution,
to demand that bullion be coined.
The question will be raised as to where
the constitution lands us, and the suit
brought in the nam: of the state of Col

otherwise would be given it,.
Mr.. Rucker will be assisted by coun-
sci from this and other states.

Government Has no Right to Lease
Beach Digging-.

A very important question has Just
been decided by Commissioner Her
mann, of the general land office, gov
erning placer mining upon the beach of
Behring sea ON the coast of Alaska, at
and near Cape Nome, the new gold
field. The decision affects mining and
localities embracing tidelands below
the line of ordinary high tide. Numer-
GUS applications are pending before the
interior department as to locations upon
such lands, which have been demon.
strated to contain gold in marvellous
quantities. individuals or associations
OF persons and incorporated mining
companies are seeking concessions from
the government by which they may ac-
quire exclusive mining rights and
privileges pertaining to such tidelands.
The commissioner decides that tide
lands in the district of Alaska are not
public lands, subject to disposal to
individuals, under any of the existing
land laws of the United States, and
that the department has no statutory
authority to make concessions to indi-
viduals of any mining rights pertaining
to such tidelands.

Seattle, Dec. lS.-For two weeks
past representatives of Eastern wool
firms. principally from Boston, have
been canvassing the wool-growing Sec
tions of the state in an effort to buy up
next years clip. In the Rainier re-
serve district, advances have been
offered, at full price when delivered
next summer of from II to 20 cents
per pound. The cause assigned for
Offering to buy in advance is that
heavy orders have been received by the
bouse represented for delivery next fall,
and to make sure OF supply, all the
crops possible are now being secured.
