Robbery st MsgdsIens.

At Magdalena, Friday evening
 of last week, most daring robbery
 took place, in which a trunk con-
 taining a large sum of money, was carried away from the Heinecke
 hotel by two men at ten o'clock at
 night, taken down to the river
 bank, broken open and the money
 taken. The trunk was the prop
 erty of man, whose name the in- formant could not recall, who had steam colontin in operation at
 Magdalena all through the fiesta, and was in his room at the hotel,
 his quarters being in that part of the structure that was annexed by connecting an adjacent building through long passage way. This
 building has a door leading into
 the street, and that entrance is some distance away from the main entrance and office at the corner
 Each days receipts of the colantia
 were taken to the room, put into the trunk, and the aggregate must
 have been two or three thousand dollars in Mexican silver, if not more. The thieves broke open the entrance door and went to the room, which was at the back part of the building, opening out from the patio, and carried the trunk away Passing down the street they were seen by a young lady in q house across the street, but she paid no attention. The next morn ing the trunk was found by the river, broken open with a jimmy, and the jimmy was left inside the trunk, as was the owners clothing, but the money was gone. About half past eleven-an hour an half after the young lady opposite saw the trunk being carried away, the owner of the trunk and money went to his room, and to his inn mediate alarm found the door un- fastened and easily opened. Strik- ing a light he quickly found the trunk was gone. Arousing MT. MT. Heinecke, an alarm was given and the police were immediately { notified. In accordance with the Jaw the house was searched by the police, but of course nothing was found, and the fact of the men carrying trunk was not made known until the following morn ing. About ten o'clock Saturday, the trunk was found as described 1 down by the river. The police have been working upon the case, l but at last reports had found no

Many Canneriss Will Be Idle

The Whatcom Reyeielle says that
as nearly as can be ascertained at
this time thirteen of the salmon can
neries Of Puget Sound will be idle
during the coming season. The can
neries which it has been practically
determined not to operate are those
of the Alaska Packers Association,
the Allen Packing Company, the Z.
p. & n. and the Cook Company To-
Gated at Blaine; the Carlisle, located
on Lummi island; the Sehome and
Washington, located at Fairhaven;
the Rosario Straits, Alaska Packers
aud Apex, located at Anacortes; the
Manhattan and j. w. V. Cook, To-
Gated at Port Angeles; and the p. Z.
& N. located at Friday Harbor.
The Alaska Packers and the George
& Barker canneries at Point Rob
erts, the Chuckaput, the White Crest,
North American and Fidalgo plants
at Anacortes, and the United Fish
ing and Packing Company's plants
at Seattle viii probably be operated
this season.
''The general impression among
the cannerymen is, that all grades
of fish wiz be fished very close this
year and that the carneries that OPP
crate wiz can every fish that it is
possible to secure of every grade.
1t is expected that the Japan-Russ-
ian war viii stiffen the prices on al
of the inferior grades.
