GOOD SALMON CATCH.
Yielded More Money This
Year Than Last.
FISH WERE OF FINEST QUALITY
Detailed Estimate of tho individual
Catches and Comparison with
Those OF Last Year.

Astoria. August Is. The fishing sea.
son just closed ON the Columbia river
has been remarkable one in several
particulars. While the run OF salmon
has been light and the pack Is small
compared with that of former years. the
price OF raw fish has been such that
more money has been paid to the fish
ermen, trapmen and seiners for their
labor than for several seasons. The
quality OF the fish caught has been ex-
ceptionally good. commanding the
highest market figures. and, notwith-
standing the advance in raw fish. the
packers have sold their product at
prices which netted them much bet
ter profit than they received year ago.
Thus. while the pack shows slight
falling of from that Of 1899, the season
Of 1900 can be regarded as a more sue.
cessiul one so far as the profits Of all
directly engaged in ssthe industry are
concerned,
Official figures show the spring pack
on the Columbia river for the season
Of 1899 to have been 27s.0O0 cases.
While it is impossible at this time to
get exact figures, carefully prepared
estimate places this seasons pack at
262, ,036 cases. This estimate is on O
basis 81 four dozen one-pound cans to
the case. About 40 per cent Of the to-
tai pack wss put up by the Colum bia
River Packer' Association. commonly
known as the combine, which consists
Of combination OF 10 canneries. Be-
sides the above, there were 1900 tons,
or what would equal $4,000 cases, of
ealmon shipped by the cold-storage
men. The estimated pack Of the indi.

a CHEMICAL WONDER.
~ VIII Save the Pacific Coast Millions
Of Dollars.


1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of money expended annually
on the Pacific coast, or even in Oregon
alone, for the replacement OF wooden
articles caused by atmospheric decay.
The humidity Of our climate produces
marvelos growth and greeness, but it
also causes rapid decay. The growing
tree with sap filled veins endures for
centuries, but the felled timber OF COM
merce, rapidly deteriorates whether
employed ON land or in water, in con-
tact with soil or exposed to the air.
The truthfulness Of this assertion
cannot he denied. It is within the
knowledge of all who use wood; from
the taxpayer of Portland. who sees his
bridge timbers, trestles and paving
blocks drop with sickening rapidity
into the limbs OF things to be repaired
at his expense, to the farmer on his
ranch, who Is constantly lamenting the
frequency with which his fence posts,
hop poles, house supports, barns and
sheds call for renewal and an aggra-
waiting outlay OF time, work and money.
Are these ills Iemediable, or must
they be endured by future as they have
been by past generations? This is a
question of absorbing importance to
urban aud rural dwellers alike in the
humid Pacific coast belt. Fortunately
an encouraging response may be given
to the inquiry.
A certain German wood preservative
known as Avenarius Carbolineum, alb
solutely prevents decay and extends
the longevity and usefulness of wood
structures from one, two or at most five
years to at least twenty. Ayenarius
Carbolineum is chemical wonder and
is so recognized by governments and
individuals all over the world. Ii is
astonishing that remedy OF such value
against timber diseases should have
only recently found recognition in a
section where its services are 80 i'm.
peratiyely demanded.
Applied with brush this remark
able preparation penetrates to the very
vitals of the article treated, acting like
living zap and not only fights of decay,
but adds considerable percentage to
the tensile strength OF the structure.
II Is apparently exempt from evapora-
tion. as the whittings of stick
treated exhibit moisture years after ap-
plicatioD. Now that actual experience
in this territory has been added to the
knowledge afforded by foreign testi-
monials, Avenarius Carbolineum is GER
tain to become staple commodity
saving immense annual outlay in re-
pairs and adding very materially to the
purposes for which our leading pro-
duct. timber, can be employed.

All Records Broken I'm Chicago-Many
Deaths and Prostrations.
Chicago, August l3.--Hot weather
records for this city were broken again
today. For 20 years, or since the
weather bureau was established, there
has been but one term OF hot weather
in which the mercury reached 80 for
five consecutive days. The average
maximum temperature for these five
days was 90. There have been now
six days on which the temperature has
gone above 90. and the average max
imum for the six days has been 93.5.
Today was the hottest of the present
season, the mercury reaching 90 in the
Auditorium tower at O'Clock. On
the street it was two degrees warmer
than in the tower.
The prolonged heat is having seri-
ous effect on business. All those who
can leave the city for points along the
lake shore and the woods are going.
and many have materially curtailed
their hours of labor. Gangs OF labor
ers all over the city laid off during the
afternoon. There were four deaths due
to the heat, and 80 prostrations, three
OF which are expected to prove fatal
The four deaths today make q total Of
IL due directly to the heat. Il is esti-
mated that over 100 deaths. Of people
already i'll have been FASTENED by the
weather of this week.
For the week the mortality list has
been mounting with great rapidity, the
increase being attributed entirely to
the heat. There were 465 deaths last
week, and with the present ratio OF
increase there will be 800 this week.
The ratio Of deaths, according 10 the
coroner, will increase steadily a. long
as the hot weather continues.

ish officers, and the conspiracy was only
discovered at the last moment. The
conspirators numbered about Is. They
had planned to set fire to the houses In

hoping that the troops would be con-
centrated there. The plan was that
the conspirators wsre forcibly to enter
all houses occupied by British officers
and kill the occupants. The Boer SYM
pathizers were acquainted with the
plot, and several had been told of to
secure the person Of Lord Roberts and
to hurry with him to the nearest COM
mando. Horses had been obtained for
this purpose. The affair has created
tremendous sensation.

Havana, August 1.-THE press

what it terms the corrupt condition Of

charges have been made by the news
papers that judges and other mem bers
of the court have been receiving fees
for cases coming to trial in the courts
and which they themselves have to de-
eide. The Post charges the Cuban ju-
dietary with having compact organi-
zation, extending over the entire sys-
tenn, SO perfect that corruption is con-
Quoted with absolute safety" and adds:
There are members of the courts
who retain their law offices and leave
the affairs of the Offices to those who
were their clerks before they were on
the bench. These clerks arrange the
details of representing the old clients
OF those judges and arrange the fees,
etc.

DID DOUBLE CRIME.
Murdered His Friend and Robbed the
Express.

Columbus, o., August l4.-Charles
r. ii. FerreIl, former employe OF the
Adams Express Company, was arrested
this afternoon in this city, and con-
fessed to the killing OF Messenger Lane
and the robbery of the way safe OF the
Adams Express Company, on the PENN
sylvania east-bound train Friday night.
One thousand dollars of the money he
stole was recovered.
Ferrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
daughter of an engineer ON the pennsyl-
yania line. He had been discharged
from the employ OF the Adams Express
Company, and confessed that the
motive OF the robbery was to secure
money for the approaching wedding.
The money recovered he had given to
Miss Costlow to keep for him, saving
he had saved it from his earnings.
Ferrell is but % years OF age. He was
at the home OF his sffianced and in her
company when placed under arrest.
When the officers took him into
CdctOuy Ho hbSuAHcu uOuCuhlAQt uo-
meanor, but when he found that he
could no longer carry out the decep-
tion, he made full confession. After
his statement had been taken by Chief
of Police Tyler and he was led to cell
in the police station, he was in state
OF nervous collapse, and orders were
given that he be watched closely to pre-
vent his doing himself bodily injury.
The confession of Ferrell disclosed a
premeditated and blood curdling CRIME,
almost impossible to believe. He said
he had become desperate because of his
inability to secure employme ent and a
realization OF the fact that he must
have money to defray the expenses OF
his approaching marriage. The rob-
berry, including the murder OF Express
Messenger Lane, had been planned
carefully. Ferrell had no accomplices
and no confdants He knew Lane we'll.
In fact, they were friends, and he re-
lied upon Lane's confidence to help
him execute the crime. He knew
that considerable money was always
carried by the messenger between ST.
Louis and Columbus. and that he was
certain to secure large sum ii he rob-
bed the way safe.
