Famous Globe Trotter Not First
Man to Suggest the

WILLIAM HUME THE PIONEER

Error Righted.

M, W, NJ" writing to the Ore
gnnian. credits the late George Fran
els Train with having nrst suggested
the salmon canning process. The
writer quotes an old-time Portland
steamboat man with reference TO the
visit OF Mr.. Train 10 The Dalles IN ises,
Mr.. Train went down the river to
watch the Indians catch salmon with
dipnets. and when he himself under
took TO catch fish he fell Into the boil.
ing water and was carried TO the
rapids from which the Indians res
cued him with much difficulty. How
ever, he was hauled from the water
but declined to return to The palies
until he succeeded In catching some OF
the Ash. In all he landed ii0.
IL Is my intention to address the
people OF The Dales tonight" said Mr.
Train. and am going to decorate the
platform with these fsh."
IL argued with him that this was an
old story with us, continued the steam
boat man quoted by the oregonian cor.
respondent. that We were not inter-
ested In saimon--that the Indians
caught millions OF them. etc. but he
persisted and when he delivered his
lecture he made the suggestion 20 the
Oregon people that they can these
salmon. He said:
You can talk about the gold your
streams bring down from the noun
tains. but there is more wealth going
by your doors up stream every day
than you have ever dreamed of. Why
don't you can these countless ASH Can
them and send them all over the world.
They win make your territory known
In every corner Of the universe"
This suggestion Ia said by the writer
to have been the first ever made that
Columbia river salmon should be
packed.
The error thus made by the writer
IL rather glaring one. for In that yery
year, 1858. the Hume cannery was be-
Ing operated ut Eagle Ciiff. II had
been established in 1866 by George w.
Hume and the late william Hume,
The first salmon packed on the Colum.
bia river was canned In 1866. two years
prior to the visit of Mr. Train TO The
Dalles, and the idea originated not with
the globe trotter but with William
Hume, who operated the hrst canhery
on the Pacific coast at the town oi
Washington, Yolo county, CAL. In 1859
TIE first salmon canned on the Ameri.
can continent was put up at lobster
cannery on the bay OF chaleur. al, arm
OF the sea which divides the province
OF Qubeck from hat Of New Brunswick

The General AssembIy's BIunder.

Columbia, March 2.-Attorney General
Gunter has not yet rendered a formal
decision in the franchise tax matter,
which was noted in The News and
Courier yesterday, as he desires to give
the matter his careful consideration on
account of its great Importance. 1t is
the opinion Of nearly every one, however,
that the tax cannot be collected this year,
and the mistakes of the General Assemb bly,
have been emphasized by this last
blunder. There were a mum Der of them,
some of them being the election Of the
wrong college trustees, the passage of
two bills providing for a commissioner
of immigration, the ratification of an Act
which had been killed in the House, and
which it was necessary to get the Gov
ernor to veto, failing to pass the bill to
beautify the State House grounds in con
nection with the completion of the State
Capital and several others. This fran
chiso tax blunder, however, seems to
have been simply slip, and now the
State will probably have deficiency ol

State and County Summer Schools.

The following circular letter has been
issued by State Superintendent of Edu-
cation Martin:
Columbia, March 6.--To County Su-
perintendents of Education- on-Gentlemep /:
Yust as soon as it can well be done, de-
sire to organize the summer schools. /
am writing to ask you to canvass the
teachers in your county and find out as
nearly as possible how many will attend
State, County or District School.
The State Summer School will be held
at Winthrop College. A committee of
the Board of Trustees of that college
asked and secured a special appropriation
for that purpose, so that we will proceed
very soon to arrange for q large State
summer school. We hope to secure a
very excellent faculty and do splendid
months work at the State summer
school.
Now, as to County or District Summer
Schools, we have quite q problem. We
must not have any small schools suclf as
were conducted in three or four counties
teachers together in county school.
then the results will justify the labor
and expenditures; but, If we are to have
only eight or ten and some of those
school children, then we must consoli-
date several counties and run district
schools. am confident that, in some
sections, it will be well to put at least
two counties together and hold school
in one county this year. At all events,
we must strengthen the weak places and
reach the teachers for whom the summer
schools were designed.
Please present this matter to your
county teachers association and also to
the teachers who are not in the associa.
tion and write me as fully and as early
as possible as to the conditions and out
look in your county.
Sincerely yours,

MiIlionaire,s Poor Stomach.

The worn out stomach of the ovor-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people,
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of standard medicine like Green's
August Flower. which has been favorite
household remeny for all stomach trou-
bles for over thirty.five years. August

Comics ssion-Or Was 1t Madness7

Charleston, March GA story is being
told in Colleton county that Section
Foreman Jones, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, while on his death bed few weeks
ago, confessed to the murder Of his wife,
who was killed at Ravenel in May. 1902,
and that the three negroes, Jim Black,
James Ford and Thomas Pryor, who
were lynched for the crime, were entirely
innocent.
The murder Of Mrs. Jones was one of
the most shocking ever committed in the
State. Her dead body was found one
morning during the latter part of May in
the dog house in the rear of her yard
with the throat cut and the head crushed
in from terrific blows delivered with
some heavy instrument.
About three weeks after the commits
sion of the crime Black was captured in
Georgia and he was brought to Ravenel
and taken before Magistrate Behling,
who committed him to Jail. While the
constable was en- route to WalterbOrO
with Black he was met by mob of white
citizens and the prisoner taken to the
graph pole and his body riddled with
bullets. 1t was said that before being
lynched Black confessed the crime, i'm
plicating Ford and Pryor. Ford is said
to have watched the house while Black
and Pryor committed the murder. Both
Ford and Pryor suffered the same fate as
Black, though at different times.
A short while ago Section Master
Jones was taken i'll in Colleton county
and after a few weeks he died. Before
death, however, it is said, he told his
physician that he had killed his wife.
He said that he knew he was going to
die, but he could not die until he had
told all about the crime. He then re-
cited the details of killing, saying that
he killed his wife while in passion.
Immediately after making the confession
he is said to have turned over on his
side and breathed his last.
There are great many people in
Colleton who are not disposed to attach
of Jones, declaring that it was only the
rawlings of a dying man whose mind had
become affected from sickness and suffer

Jefferson University, Philadelphia, and
the University of Maryland. After
graduation he located at Batesburg

charity practice ho did, always refusing
to accept pay for servio es rendered to
those hardly able to pay for medical at
tcution.
AS a prominent public citizen he was
always among the foremost. He helped

ton in 1876. For years he was chairman
