river waters this year as last. Many
fishermen have gone to Northern waters.
while others have got the Cape Nome
fever. and will abandon fishing for gold
seeking. Yet notwithstanding this con-
dition, we anticipate as good catch
as last year.
lowing to the early season a fear has
been expressed in some quarters that
the early run of fish has already passed
up the river. Should such prove to be
the case 1t will reduce the pack for the
season. Others think there is no ground
for such a belief.
$50 many orders are now on file with
the canneries for Columbia river that
II will be impossible to fill more than
60 per cent. of them with the entire
seasons output Last year buyers did
not get more than 60 per cent. OF their
orders filed, and so this year placed
earlier in order to make sure that they
were booked In time.
with the establishment of price list
in the Columbia river district slightly in
advance of last year the Puget Sound
list will be affected to proportionate
degree BY this mean that the Column
bia river pack is more limited. 1t has
been on the Eastern market for years.
and the entire output of the district Is
the highest grade of canned salmon IN
the world. The Puget Sound salmon
salmon third.
1.-The catch now being made on Puget
Sound is for the fresh fish markets. The
catch for canning purposes 1t Is ex-
pected will be from June % to July l.
The prospects are that It will be good
season here. The catch will probably
be as large as last year, as there Is a
very large amount of web in Sound wa
ters. The market outlook Is certainly
bright. Although It is eight weeks or
more before the season begins. orders
are now beginning to pile up. large
number are in the hands of the brokers
and will be placed just as soon as the
season opens. Another large installment
Is In the hands of cannery men. Prices
have not yet been made. as none have
been agreed upon for the season.
I'VE will have our Fairhaven plant
improved and ready to begin operations
lust as soon as the season opens. Work
is now progressing on 1t very favorably.
I expect to be up there for week, and
will then return here"

PLUMBERS STILL ON STRIKE
Joint Conference Committee Fails TO
Come to an AEreement-May
Continue Indefinitely.

Nothing new developed in the journey
man plumbers strike yesterday. A meet
ing was held in the morning at Masonic
hall by joint conference committee rep
resenting the master plumbers e~d the
journeymen with view to arbitrating their
differences. The latter, however said they
had nothing TO arbitrate and nothing was
accomplished Both sides say they will
hold out indefinitely. 1t is asserted that
the present difficulty is likely to bring
about a general strike among all the build
ing trades
Archibald Ayres, president of the master
plumbers association, says there Is no
prospect of a near settlement. He states
that last August an agreement was made
with the Journeymen that they would
work for "a per day for the ensuing year.
He further states that there was no clause
In the agreement providing for a three
months notice for higher wages.
The journeymen held a meeting in the
afternoon at the Western Central Labor
Union hall. A large number were In at
tendance. They would not make public
what business was transacted. The meet
ing was marked, however, by the unani-
nifty Of those present, as regards the con-
tinuance of the strike. They say they are
bound to win in the end.
An officer of the Western Central La
Dor Union, with which the journeymen
plumbers are affiliated, laid last night
that a settlement of the trouble would
probably be reached within the next two
days. About sixty workmen are idle
and plumbing work on all the large
buildings under construction In the city
Is at q Standstill.
