The coast salmon pack will fall short
100000 cases this year. The pack has
shown decrease in Northern British
Columbia. the Fraser river Puget sound
and the Columbia river. says the Ia
coma Ledger. The pack on Willapa
and Grays harbprs Is practically that
OF last year. No estimates Of the
Alaska output have been made. but it
is believed not much change will be
SHOWN. A shortage Of 100000 cases
In the salmon pack means there will
be from 100000 to $4,000 cases less than
the annual consumption. This has stead
ily increased until It now reaches about
100000 cases annually The pack Of
last year exceeded 100000 cases. 1t
was estimated at s.225,OOO cases. 1t is
possible that there is a surplus on hand.
but this cannot be very large and the
reports coming from all canning centers
Of big decrease are having a bullish
effect on the market. Gamers are de-
mandlnR and receiving the highest
price ever known for salmon. They
are selling ut from Sc to $3.50 a case,
Even at this figure Gamers will lose
money on the wears business, for they
had made preparations for handling
an output several times as large as
the seasons total. On the Sound. for
Instance. the entirs pack is less than the
capacity OF one compauy's plant. The
run on Grays harbor and Willapa har-
Dor has been smaller than usual. The
statistics OF the Fraser river pack are
astonishing. There are forty-eight can
nerles on the river and they have can
ned as high as S60.459 cases in a single
season. This was during the big run
nf 1897. Last year the number of cases
was 6le,SS3, but Gamers estimate the
pack for 1900 will not exceed 10000.
Estimates as low as 10000 are made.
The total British Columbia pack last
year was 100000 cases; this season 1t
Is S77 700O The Columbia river will show
a falling Off of about so per cent. The
pack Is estimated TO be 26S,0OO cases.
The run on the river has been proper
tionately better than that on the Sound
or Fraser river, but fishermen make no
attempt to give reason for this fact,
The effect of the big shortage cannot
be fully foretold. 1t will undoubtedly |
force canned salmon to a high figure,
and the promise of this may lead some
Gamers to handle dog salmon during
the closing days of the final run. Not |
many. however. will do this, The can

THE PLAYA

is in Richmond on most desperate detail.
 At this time the Federal forces were en- trenehed before the city endeavoring by all possible means to break down the defenses and capture the Confederate capital It was necessary that some daring men should act as spies to enter Richmond and by some means, secure an appointment in the Confederate telegraph service that false message might be sent to the rebel troops on a certain line of the defenses to move their position, thus greatly weakening the defenses at the vital point. An assualt of thhe Federal forces at this opening would undoubtly prove successful This danger ous and delicate duty was entrusted to Louis and Henry Dumont, brothers two of the most daring men in the secret ser vice, men who were always ready to un- dertake the most hazardous enterprise, and willing to throw away their lives for their country While in Richmond Louis Dumont falls in love with Edith Varney, daughter of a Confederate general who reciprocates the affection. Captain Thorne's identity is suspected by Benton Arrelsford,
 of the Confederate secret service, his brother having been captured, was caught sending a message by an old negro to the Varney home, supposedly from Captain Thorne. The house is surrounded by troops and Dumont's brother, prisoner, under the pretext of escaping, is allowed to run through the parlor, Arrelsford trustins

heather and all the men are brave, sym pathetic, honest, loyal fellows. They are not ashamed to wear their hearts on their sleeves, they do not care how many daws peck at them, wrote the critic of the New York Herald about the play When We Were TwentyOne," which will be pre- scented by MT. George Clarke and company at the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday. The Herald was not alone in it's opinion; the critics of New York without a des- senting voice, hailed the new play as a great acquisition to our present meagere dramatic literature. The press was so un- animous in their praise that the manager of the Knickerbocker theatre (where the play was produced) was tempted to slightly change Richard Brinsley Sheri- dans famous line: When they do agree among the press their unanimity Is won derful." The success of the play was im- mediate, and being a valuable piece of dramatic property, there were many who desired to obtain it. MT. Edward E. Rice, however was the fortunate man, and he purchased the right to produce When We Were Twenty-One' in all the cities where MT. Goodwin does not appear. Mir. Rice has a ripe judgement, backed by long eX- perience, and this is evidence by his en- gagement of one of the best actor in the
The age-herald., 1900-12-23

a story filled with patriotic sentiment and free from obvious appeals to sentimentali- ty. It Is a masterpiece of American stage craft, contentious to the point of panto- mime in the last act and replete with pow erful dramatic qualities. The first act is delightful comedy of a fresh and whole some kind; the second Is given over to love making, but changes from comedy to dra- ma. The third act is highly dramatic, yet continues the comedy strain, and the last act Is chiefly pathetic pantomime. Ma than Hale'' does not follow the stereotyped lines of drama, and on this account com mands the respect and attention of the in telligent auditor. It's human qualities ap- peal to gallery and parquet alike. It Is at once lightsome and serious, humorous and pathetic, brilliant and intense. Nobody can witness this beautiful play without having all his noble qualities stirred and without feeling himself better citizen for 1t.
 The title role will be played by Mir. How ard Kyle, who is said to bear striking resemblance in form and feature to the published portraits of Nathan Hale, and the part of Alice Adams, the young patrt- ot's sweetheart. who is first seen as the pu- Ii of the young schoolmaster at New Lon
