Fighting Seals with Dynamite.

The seals and sea lions which infest
the mouth of the Columbia river have
created such havoc among the salmon
fisheries that a crusade with dynamite
is soon to be begun against them. The
animals are both shrewd and bold, and
it is said that seal will police a set
net with great regularity, and take "a
bite out Of the throat of every salmon
it. contains. Frequently when a fisher.
man is taking his net into a boat and
is about to gait a fish which is entan-
gled In the meshes, a seal will rise and
bite its throat. The seal herds con
gregate on q CERTAIN sandspit in tho.
mouth of the river. and it is pronosed
that dynamite mines be sunk in tba
sand and connected with the main
land by wires. When the animals ara
ashore the mines will be exploded
Similar plans are laid for the destruc-
ton Of the sea lions. which do not

messenger to the scene with the joyful

a comfortable home for the old sooldiers.

praise of the Journal.

The beautiful engravings that daily APP

nothing has ever appeared in its columns
on that line which has aroused such ten
der. emotions as the pathetic picture of the
old veteran, James r. Stringer, rescuing
the Confederate flag from the flames Of the
burning Confederate home. One can see
from the determined expression of the old
mans face that the same spirit and heroic
valor that animated him In the COS
prompted him in his old age to rush for
ward and rescue that cherished banner
from the devouring elements.
Though tottering on the verge of the
great beyond, not one spark of that pa
triotic devotion to the cause he loved so
we'll has been dimmed by time. Another
noless pathetic scene occurred at the burn
