THE GREAT ICE STORM.

| An ice storm. which to the memory
of the Oldest inhabitant has never
been equaled spread over the entire
State FRIDAY night. In this section
it was particularly severe.
A cold beating rain from the north
mixed with hail and sleet covered
everything with layer Of ice from
one-half to an inch in thickness. The
trees coated with crystal could not
stand the strain and huge branches
together with countless numbers of
smaller ones fell to the ground
The wires of the Postal Telegraph,
the Western Union and New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company all
suffered severely and it was not until
the middle of the week that COM
munication could be obtained with
outside towns
When it is borne in mind that on
the telephone line from Morristown
to Bernardsville, over 60 adjoining
poles were down often separated by
half dozen standing then another
long break intervening, some idea
may be had of the difficulty ex-
perienced in opening communica-
tion. Miles of telephone and tele-
graph wires were down and so hope
lessly entangled that it will require
many weeks hard work to restore
complete service Manager Pope
hardly slept from Friday night until
Wednesday and even at this late day
is reported to hays an eye and ear on
duty all the time
City Electrician Crank Pierson
was at work night and day and
during the entire storm not one Of
the fire alarm boxes was out of order
for more than ten minutes at a time.
On Sunday morning sOld Solp
poked his welcome nose over the hori-
zon and the ice on the trees, shrubs and
buildings glistened like crytal Maple
avenue was particularly beautiful the
large maple and elm trees bending
under the load of ice forming a
chrystalzed arch the entire length Of
that thoroughfare. Camera fiends
were seen in every direction, includ-
Ling deacons, stewards the average
layman, while even dominies could
not resist the temptation.
The fruit trees, especially the peach
orchards, were much damaged through
out the county. The ice which formed
on the north side Of trees and build
ings was so solid that not until the
warm rain Of Tuesday night did it
disappear. Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday telegraph messages were
taken subject to delay and during
that time messengers where fire.

Several weeks ago arrangements
were made between the Ilwaco and As
torIa football teams TO meet on the
grounds at Astoria last Sunday The
Astoria team went to considerable
trouble TO sell upwards Of 200 tickets,
but on account OF the inability OF the
Ilwaco eleven TO get proper transpor-
tation for the return trip II became
necessary to postpone the game until
this coming Sunday.
w. X. Beckwlth Of the North Pacific
Brewing company tried hard to make
the proper arrangements for the game.
but. after considerable conversation
over the telephone he found that the
Ilwaco ;eam Yas short Of players. and
up to the present time arrangements
have not been completed for the game.
The Astoria play srs are only too anx-
Ious to meet the Ilwano men and have
done everything IN their power to bring
on game on next Sunday, and have
even gone 10 far as 70 charter the NAH
Gotta 10 make the ~ound trip. Yes
teraay a letter was received from Jack
Wilson, in which he stated that it
would be impossible for the team to

Of the Astoria team will issue a no.

SALMONMARKtTBtTTfR
PACKERS MUCH PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK.
Demand for Elm0re Salmon Con.
tinues Heavy From All Sec
tions OF the Country.

Considerable satisfaction Is being
evinced by the Columbia river salmon
packers. and also by those operating
what are known AZ outside rivers"
canneries. at the very great improve
ment this season In the general de-
mand throughout the country for their
goods. While as regards the celebrat-
ed. worId-renowned Columbia river
chInooks the renewal In the demand
has no ioubt in great measure been
due 10 the lower prices which were
made this season, II has also been ma
terially helped by the great shortage
in the pack OF sockeyes on Puget sound.
When some few years ago, owing to
various causes. the prices Of Columbia
river salmon advanced to a selling
basis Of s1.50 and even higher for one
pound tails. the trade looked for
something cheaper to take their pace
that could be sold as 15-cent or even
"two-for-a-quarter' article, something
superior to the dry Alaska descrip-
tions. The sockeye to certain ex-
tent filed the bill and jumped right
into favor with the public. The pack
OF this description OF salmon, how
eYssss IS very uncertain indeed, some
years being abnolrnaily heavy. others
equally light. This uncertainty de-
moralizes the trade to a very great ex-
tent. the wholesale jobbers wanting

pend for regular, steady supply.
with the Columbia river and outside
rivers varieties. while the quantity
packed may vary a little from year
to year. there is never such great diff
ference as to cause any anxiety to the
trade. so there is no doubt, while pack
ers in the state of Oregon can pack
and sell salmon at moderate prices,
they will. as they have this year espec-
tally, always be able to dispose of the
product of their canneries.
Among the various packers who have
cleared out their entire pack this sea-
son is the Elmore Packing company.
