B. C. Salmon Combine Busted.

VANcoUvER B. G. Friday, Nov 23.-
The big salmon trust of British Colur1-
bia has collapsed and salmon Gamers
here say that next year it will be every
cannery for itself. Last year it was
war to the knife between the salmon
combine and The fishermen, and al
though the fishermen eventually gave
in they did not yield until the salmon
Gamers had lost heavily by the strike.
This year two attempts were made by
some of the largest cannery owners to
form castiron combine for the pur-
pose of effectually controlling the out
put and price of fish and the pooling
of all the canneries
But the selfishness of the promoters
in studying their own interest caused
some of the most cautious Gamers to
take alarm with the result that not
only the second and third venture was
unsuccessful, but the original combine
went to pieces. Next season the fish
ermen's union comprising 1000 whites
Indians, negroes and Japs, will have
everything their own way aud charge
what they like for fish.

AMERICAN merchant marine on June

AMERICAN merchant marine on June
80, 1900, comprised 1888 vessels of
64,849 gross tons, a great increase
over last year and the greatest on re-
cord since the year 1861 in which year
our shipping was larger than France
and Germany and nearly equalled that
of Great Britain. During the Civil
War the American merchant disap-
peared and never grew up again on ac-
count of discriminating legislation
and lack OF proper encouragement.
Practically all the merchant marine
we have had since then has been that
of the coastwlse trade. The rapid
growth of the last few years is there
fore encouraging, and what is gener-
ally needed now are subsidies to effect
the slightly cheaper cost OF construct
ing ships in England. AS the United
States takes her place as one OF the
foremost commercial nations, as our
prestige on sea and abroad increases
as American industries become more
and more able to compete with British
industry, with proper encouragement
q large merchant marine will grow up
second to none in the world. We see
indications of a revival. Mayit be en-;
couIaqed and aided West Coast Trade

The Irl R. Hicks 1901 Almanac.


Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
K. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts OF
storm and weather, it is remarkable
tact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous. Almanac for many
years. The last startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete and
beautiful yet published, is now ready.
This remarkable book of near two
hundred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings,
goes as premium to every subscriber
who pays one dollar year for Prof.
Hicks journal, Word AND Works.

Oats from Puget Sound.

! WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The ports on
Puget Sound, by their commercial re
cord during the last ten months, have
amply borne out the claims that have
been mace regarding the marvellous
natural resources and shipping posi-
bilities OF that region. The Puget
Sound ports are steadily increasing
their exports of breadstuffs to Hawaii
the Orient and Siberia. In the
month of October there we're only
three ports in the United States, ex-
cept those on the Pacific coast, that
showed an increase in these shipment
over the shipments in the same month
"i last year. The same statement APP
plies to the record for the first ten
months OF the current calendar wear.
The gain in exports of nearly every
kind OF grain and grain product from
Puget sound during the last year has
been enormous.
The gain in October, when the ship
ments were heavier than ever from
those ports, was no less than 16O per
cent, OF nearly three fold, and the
gain for the first ten months of the
year was 80 per cent. These figuies
are especially striking when it is con-
sldered that the exports in breadstuffs
for the country at large during Octo-
ber declined s per cent and during the
ten months just ended 10 per cent. A
general decrease is, of course, account.
ed for by the fact the 1899 was a ban
ner year in production in this country
but the inevitable commercial growth
Ell the Puget Sound region far more
than overcame this natural deficiency
in the nations products of the soil.
The exact figures are these:
Exports of breadstuffs from Puget
Souny in October last, $1O55 ,445,
against $404, 1892 in October 1899; ex-
ports of breadstuffs from the United
States in October last, $21, ,913,S32 as
against $24,041 ,493 IN October, 1899;
exports of breadsuffs from Puget sound
in the last ten months, 5,306,22 as
against $3,815,575 for the same ten
months of last year; exports of bread
stuffs from the United States in the
last ten months, $197 ,443,980, as
against $216,S33,O23 in the cores
,ponding months of 1899.
The most remarkable contribution
to these large gains in Puget Sound
commerce was in oats. OF that grain
there was exported from those ports
800, l78 bushels, valued at $145,871, as
against IL ,699 bushels, valued at $3,-
989, in the same month of 1899. In
the first ten months of this year ], ,078,
059 bushels, worth 1854 ,642, were sent
abroad, as against 1925 bushels,
worth $60, 1886, in the same months of
1899. Even the port of San Francisco
where the general grain exports have
increased during the last year, shows
no such in shipments of oats, for there
were only 137 1854 bushels shipped
from that port in the last ten months.
Puget Sound ports also sent to foreign
countries more barley than ever before
and showed a gain in this commerce
far in excess of the gain at any other
port.
The shipments of barley in October
were 115,205 bushels, worth $55, ,299 as
against 1857 bushels, worth $8,3S2 in
October. 1899. For the past ten
months the barley exports from these
ports were 116,6 $50 bushels, worth $685.
947 as against 23,605 bushels, worth
$12,736 for the same period of last
year.-P.-I.

one very generous and charming
society woman, of quite as Chris
tan character as that of the
manager, who became utterly
wearied by the incessant hauling
in of (so-called) religious pro-
ceedings at business and other
meetings.
The writer is not positive, but
thinks it was this charity, that re-
fused to allow the names of liquor
dealers, or the brewery people to
appear upon its subscription list
though it went yearly to ask, and
invariably received large subscrip-
tions from those very dealers. So
it is not surprising that they
should now boldly unmask them
selves and join issues with the
most hateful of her sex. Is there
not a Knoxville charity that needs
money? If so, we commend to
them the action of our sisters of
the Working Girls Home. If
money can be made here, so can
it be made in your town.

It's up to the People.

Less than a year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth! They are the result Of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning Of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War Of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions Of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep.
tons. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era of
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
