that the defendants have been anchor

appeared before the court and finally

For months past there has been talk
OF securing baseball park In the east
end. and members OF the Commercial
Club are now taking up the matter
again. The present field Is 30 difficult
OF access that hundreds stay away from
games who otherwise would gladly at
tend. That the people OF the city are
anxious to support amateur sport has
been demonstrated by the fact that
crowds Of 500 to 1900 have climbed the
hill every Sunday, or secured convey
ances at considerable additional cost.
II a ground can be secured where car
connection will make II accessible, the
attendance will be more than doubled,
and with the idea In view OF securing
such a field the club will take up the
matter this winter. The football sea-
son is soon to commence and the In
terest in the game win be greater this
year than ever before, because the club
team will be the strongest In the state.

SALMON MORE PLENTIFUL
NEAR THE RIVERS MOUTH
Fish Have Begun 10 Come in From thu
Ocean and an Improvement 10
Looked for Soon.

reports received from lower harbor
stations yesterday convey the pleas
ling information that salmon are be-
ginning to enter the river, and better
hauls were made at the lower harbor
seining grounds yesterday and by those
gillnet fishermen who drifted near the
bar Frank Cook and Alex Grant, two
OF the most prominent seiners on the
river, express the conviction that the
run Of fish win improve from now on,
although neither looks to see very
heavy run for few weeks.
For the past two weeks the ocean
has been literally alive with salmon,
but the fish would not enter the river
because OF the muddy condition OF the
water. 1t usually happens that they
remain outside until almost ready to
spawn, but It is agreed that the muddy
water has kept them out OF the river
for two weeks longer than would have
been the case had the water been
clear. Clear water is not expected for
two weeks, but better runs Of salmon
are expected.
The statement that the mud now In
the water win kill the salmon is dis
puted by old-time seiners. They insist
that this theory is nonsense, and in
support Of their statement point out
the fact that many salmon have been
taken at up-river points. The salmon
;===a naturally shy Of thick water, but
they will live in the river whether or
not It is clear.
The backward season has already
given rise to the expression that prices
will be lowered when the big run
ermes in. When fish are plentiful the
packers usually reduce prices, and It
is feared there will be but a short
period this season when the higher
prices are realized.
One of the best indications Of an Inn
proved run is the presence in the river
OF large number Of steelheads. Fish
ermen yesterday caught many Of this
species Of salmon, which always make
their appearance just before the sal
mon come into the river. and which
have always been an infallable sign
that salmon are to become plentiful.
There is good demand for steelheads.
which bring cents pound.
Operations thus far have been con-
fined almost entirely to lower harbor
points, the up-river seiners having
made very poor hauls. All Of the sein-
ers are ready for rush, however, and
within short time, 1t is believed, re-
ceipts of salmon will be heavy at all
of the packing houses.

Martin. the ii-year-old son Of Mr.
and Mrs. M. Franciscovitch. WA
drowned yesterday afternoon while
playing at scow bay. with several
other children. the Franciscoyitch child
had been padding around in the water
on raft. from which he fell. The
other children at once gave the alarm,
but before the child could be taken
from the water life was extinct. John
Kearney. jr., recovered the body. which
was found In seven feet of water some
80 feet from the spot where the boy
went down. DIR. Fulton worked over
the child. but reSuseitation was impos-
slble. The child had been in the water
only about 10 minutes when the body
was recovered.

The three japanese stowaways who
arrived on the Aragonia have been
placed in jail at Portland pending de-
portation. Close questioning revealed
the fact that the prisoners bribed
members OF the Chinese crew Of the
vessel TO assist them In making the
passage. They confessed to immigra-
ton officials that each OF them gave
the celestial sailors 10 yens to pick
out a hiding place for them and pro-
vide them with food Had not the
search been made at Astoria 1t is
thought that the men would have sue
ceeded in completing the voyage with
out being captured. and under cover
of darkness they had undoubtedly
planned TO gain the shore. Until the
steamer is ready to return on the out
ward trip the prisoners win be guests
at the county Jail. when they win be
deported at the expense OF the vessel
owners.

Judging by the following Vancouver

10000 fish. or these 1900 were taken
at Otter point, and about $500 at
sooke. In the otter point trap was a
shark weighing about a ton and a
large sea lion. The latter. In being
taken. did some damage to the traps.
The salmon were taken to the Fraser
river canneries. The traps could have
taken many thousands more II neces-
aary. and have completely proved the
correctness OF their builders predic-
tion that flsh traps at that point will

The decision OF United States Judge
BellInger in the case Of the govern
ment against the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad Company win be OF
far-reaching effect. Several OF the big
transportation companies are involved
In suits Of the kind. and IL the case
against the local road should be decided
adversely to the government by the
supreme court, to which 1t is apt to
be appealed. the other suits win be
materially affected. The local road
leases the track of the Northern Pacific
from Portland to Goble. Now, the
Northern Pacific is land-grant road
and therefore is required to make half
rates for the government. AS to the
status OF road which uses the track
of q land-grant road the government
has been in doubt, and the suit against
the A. & c. was in the nature Of test.
General Agent Mayo said yesterday
that the Burlington had been accept
ing payment from the government ever
since 1899 under protest upon propo-
sition identically the same as that at
present involved. The suits all grew
out OF the Spanish war. 1t is probable
the government will carry its case to
the higher courts. but the opinion is
expressed that the government will be
defeated there. 1t is contended that,
in such cases, the government may ex-
act the half-rate from the land-graHt
road that owns the line, but that an
other road which happens to use the
track Of the land-grant road should not
be required to make half rates.
