Ian board Of foreign missions OF the
Presbyterian church has received let
ters from the American missionaries
In Persia regarding the cholera epI-
demic which has come into the coun-
try from the south and southwest and
has extended as far north as the cap-
ital in Teheran. In July there were
80 or 40 deaths per day at Teheran ana

Increase. The missionaries have OPEN

Hatchery Fish Reach the Column
bia and Fishermen are Max
Ing Immense Hauls.
PACKING HOUSES BLOCKED
Some of the Boats Come in With
as Much as Three Tons and
Very Few Fall Below
1900 Pounds.

The long -looked-for hatchery run o
salmon has at last entered the river
Yesterday receipts at the canneries
were SO heavy that the offerings could
not be cared for. and. while the boats
were not limited during the day, the
packing houses were blocked. 1t was
a repetition of the conditions existing
last year at this time, and the spec
tacle gladdened the hearts of all As
torians.
A big run Of salmon was reported
to have entered the river on Saturday
nights flood, and receipts on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday were gratifying
However, the fish were not the hatch
cry run, but rather the advance guard.
Tuesday night the run increased, and
yesterday all Of the receiving docks
were piled high with great fish Of un-
equaled quality Many of the boats
made two deliveries during the day,
and so far as could be learned all Of
the offerings Of salmon were accepted
at the various institutions.
Nearly all of the packers paid the
original prices yesterday, cents be-
ing given for fish weighing over 27
pounds and cents for fish under that
weight. 1t was stated that the Tallant-
Grant company had reduced the price
to cents for all sizes Of fish at
o'clock yesterday morning. but the
other canneries paid 5 and cents. At
the Kinney cannery late yesterday
afternoon cents was paid for large
fish, although the higher priced salmon
were canned and not sent to the cold
storage plant. The receipts at the cold
storage We're too great to permit Of any
cannery fish being sent there. It was
freely predicted last evening that all
of the packers would reduce the price
to S cents fiat this morning.
Some inspiring Scenes.
The scenes at the various packing
houses were indeed inspiring. From
all points OF the compass heavily
laden fishing boats were to be seen
making for the canneries. The boats
were loaded almost to the guards. AL
ready there were long lines of waiting
boats at the canneries. and the incom-
ing fishermen raced along before the
afternoon breeze in order to get a
good place in the line. The receiving
docks were stacked high with fine Il
salmon, and the cannery forces worked
zealously in vain endeavor to maker,

Trusting this arrangement win be

AS the acting commissioner fully ac-

turned the operation OF the station over
10 him TO take charge OF after July

This stream should give the gov

about II being one OF the beat sal

some impression upon the great pile
of fish.
Many Of the gillnetters made re
markabie hauls. Boats came in witt
as high as 5000 pounds of fish, haul
of this quantity netting the two fisher,
men $3.50 for their days drift. Score.
OF deliveries of two tons were made
by fishermen. and few boats reported
with less than 1900 pounds. Nearly
all Of the men made an early morning
delivery and then reported again In
lthe afternoon. A newspaper repre-
sentative who talked with seven fisher
men as they delivered their fish yes
terday afternoon was told by six that
they We're compelled to haul in their
nets without removing half the fish
from the meshes. These men had been
drifting on the north shore and were
forced to gather up their gear so as
to keep from swamping their boats.
One boat was swamped during the
morning near Point Ellis on account
of the imense number of salmon se-
cured in one drift. Practically all of
the fish caught yesterday and the
previous night were taken on the
Washington side Of the river, and
above the city.
Boats Not Limited.
The packing houses have not yet
placed limit on the boats. The men
who came in yesterday with great
hauls were able to dispose OF their en-
tire catches. The packers seem dis
posed to accept as much gillnet fish as
possible. for the gillnetters are their
mainstay during those weeks OF the
season when fish are scarce. II was
predicted last night that all Of the gill
net fish would be accepted today. The
effect Of the additions TO the various
plants made during the past winter
were apparent yesterday. and much !
greater quantity Of fish was handled |
during the day than could have been
handled in the same time last year.
Fish Of Fine Quality
The fish now being taken are Of
fine quality, bearing out
The statement of packers and fisher
men that the season is backward.
Seventy-five tons of fish were deliv-
.red yesterday at one of the canneries.
md the tallyman who received this
immense quantity Of salmon stated
hat he had seen but two or three tules
n the entire deliveries. The fish are
irm and fat and of rich color, and so
losely resemble the July salmon that
is impossible to distinguish between
hem.
Some idea Of the immense benefit
erived from the fishing industry can
e gained from the statement that the
illnet fishermen yesterday received
rom $50 to $500 for the days work.
he proceeds of each Of the boats are
ivided between two men. In consid- {
ration of this fact, 1t is not surpris-
ig that fishermen yesterday wore s
Milling countenances.

War news the past week has
been very unreliable and not very
important from the Japs and Rus

that all Europe IL now threatened
with war. Turkey is to invade
Bulgaria, England Is strengthens
ing many of her fortrcsscs. and
now France IL calling In all Of Its

Why lie Didn't Report

more smiling than ever. May Is n

For example, some time ago when
II was rumorcd that after making
love TO many of the prcttiest and
best girls In that part Of the county
that he had purchased a fine farm
and quit hunting rabbits, things
began to look suspicious, so the
TRIBUNE "securcd" his services to
report on shortest notice all we'd
dings prospective and otherwise In
that locality. Well, he reported
one--the next one he didn't. That
was his own, and we never knew
anything OF the event until II APP
peared In democratic paper last
week. All OF which was clean
scoop on us. As a contemporary
recently remarked after reading an
oyster story, such doings "arc un-
professional" and we had abou,
concluded to consign May to the
