Innovation In Fishing.

A new fishing boat, which has been
process of building the past three weeks,
will be completed today at the Pacific
American cannery and its operation
will be followed with considerable
interest as it is the first of its kind
ever built or used on the Pacific Coast.
The boat owned by the Pacific Ameri-
can Fisheries Co, and designed and
by G. A. Dickie, is an Atlantic "seine
boat" similar to those used up and
down the Atlantic Coast for mackerel
fishing. 1t is - feet long, s feet beam
and feet deep, round bottom, sharp
at both ends. The frame is On bent
oak, planked outside with spruce
planking, oak gunnel strake, oak rail
and platform extending the entire
length of the bottom. 1t is scaled
on the inside and copper fastened
throughout. The boat is a huge con-
Germ to be propelled without sails, and
is manned by eight oarsmen aud a
captain. 1t is capable of living in any
ordinary sea, and can carry weight
of five tons. The seine accompanying
it will be $50 fathoms long, % faith
oms deep and weighs a ton. This boat
which will he launched tomorrow, has
been especially designed for purse
seining off the coast of cape Flattery
to catch the early sockeyes before
they reach the Sound waters. The
boat will be sent Immediately to the
Cape Flattery fisheries, towed by the
steamer John Cudahy or the Charles
Counselmen, which will be up from
Seattle tomorrow. These boats are
common on the Atlantic Coast, but
have not yet been introduced into
salmon fishing. The experiment will
not only be of interest to the P. A. F
Co. but to all associated with the fish.

Muir Glacier Destroyed.

The Muir glacier is no more. It
has been destroyed, probably by an
earthquake. Officers of the steamer
Queen, returning from her voyage to
Juneau, Skagway and Northern Alaska
points bring out the biggest piece of
news that ever came out of Alaska.
II IS reported that ice from the
broken glacier extends out to sea for
an unbroken distance of 25 miles.
The Queen could only approach with
in five miles of the site of the former
glacier, which has nov disappeared
and its place is now occupied by a
solid foe of ice covered with hillo, ks
10 to so feet high.
The only practical theory is that
theQheory is that the glacier has been
obliterated by an acknowledgements
bly, the one that visited the Alaskan
coast late last fall.
To the world at large the news ol
the destruction of Muir Glacier is as
startling as would be the news that
the falls. of Niagara had suddenly
ceased to exist. 1t ranked as one ol
the grandest sights to be seen on the
American continent. Thousands o
tourists have visited it, and it was the
star attraction OF the tourist trip to

The Chicago Chronicle, the leading
democratic paper in the west, says the
result of the Oregon election "demon-
strates the impracticability of carry
ing for the democratic can didates this
year the class of far western states In
which the silver sentiment was sup
posed to predonlinate." This is true.
and the assertion of the Chronicle
that these states are not worth special
effort does not detract from the impor-
tance of its own conclusions. The
Tacon a Ledger says the Oregon elect
ion has shown another thing equally
important-that the far western states
cannot be carried for anti-expansion
any more than they can fo r free silver.
Mr.. Bryan's tour in Washington,
Oregon and California. for the purpose
of preaching present calamity and
future disaster if anti-expansion
and free silver were not carried, was

Established A Precedent.

1t would be unfortunate for mem
bers of the board of county commits
sloners for several years past if the
precedent established in the case of
G. w. Osborne vs. Thurston county
were carried down the line. Mr.. Os-
borne sued the county for mileage
while in the performance of duty, the
sum he claimed being about 5000.
These services, the court held, could
not be paid for without being audited
by the judge of the superior court.
because they were of special nature.
1t has been the custom of the board
to audit the claims of its members,
whereas the judge of the superior,
court under the law, is the only party
who can do this. This law was passed
in 1893, and since the board has con-
tinued the practice of auditing bills
similar to those included in Mr.. Os-
borne's claim.
In addition to giving Judgment
against Mr.. Osborne for the amount
of his claim the court gave judgment
also for an amount approximating
$2OO, which he had been paid while
commissioner, for special services
Not only had Mr.. Osborne been paid
for such services, but other commits
sioners since 1898 have received similar
benefits. Morally, it is said, the COM
missioners were entitled to their com
pensatlon for such special services
but not legally, and it now remains
for the present board to act in the
matter. Whether they should be ex
pected to instruct the county attorney
to bring suit to recover against them
selves is the question.-Oiympian.

Work Done By Congress.

The last session of Congress passed
1872 public acts, which had been ap-
proved by the President, up to and in
cluding the month of May. Many of
these were of general public interest
and were carefully considered by both
Houses.
An act to define and fix the STAN
dard OF value, to maintain the parity
of all forms of money issued or coined
by the United States, to refund the
public debt, and for other purposes,
was the first bill passed through the
House OF Representatives, and became
law on March 18th last.
This bill is the most important of
all that became law during the session.
1t places the finances of the country
firmly on the gold standard. No pub
lie official can hereafter disparage any
dollar issued by the United Estates
until the Senate and House, with ap-
proval OF the President, shall concur
in amending this statute.
The bill also provides for the re-
funding Of the national debt. amount
ing to $S5O,OOO, 600, into 2 per cent
bonds. Since the passage of the act
this refundins process has been con-
stantly going or, and now reaches
about $2S0,000,000. AS the old bonds
bore interest at the rate of 8, 4 and 5
per cent, the national saving of inter
est on bonds already refunded amounts
to considerably more than $1,000, 900.
This saving will nearly equal the entire
interest on the $2O0OOO,O0O, borrowed
to pay the expense of the Spanish war.
Should we succeed in refunding the
entire Indebtedness of eight hundred
and fifty millions at the low rate OF
2 per cent interest the national saving
in interest would not only pay the
Spanish war load, but also the interest
on the $262, 100000 of bonds issued by
the last administration in time of peace.
| Under the minor provisions of the bill
there has been great increase of ma
tional banks of limited capital in the
smaller towns, particularly of the
Western and Southern States.
