A Fishy Dicussion.

The Duluth Herald has Leen re-
quested to give the difference between
a pike, pickerel and muskeilunge and
the paper gives it as follows:
Properly speaking, pike and pick
erel are interchangeable terms and
the muskellunge is larger member
of the same family. The so-called
'wall-eyed pike" should be eliminated
from the discussion at the outset. as
it is no pike at all. Its proper name
is ''wall-eye," sometimes called pike
perch" and it has not the remotest
relationship With the true pike.
"The scientific name of the pike
family is 'lucius." The common pike
or pickerel is Lucis lucis, and its ex-
IRENE length is four feet. The
''musky" is lucius masquinOng, and
in it's maturity it runs from four to
eight feet in length; some specimens
reaching as high as 100 pounds in
weight. The difference between the
pike or pickerel and the 'musky" is
not so great but that it leaves room
for argument, but there are marked
differences. The 'musky" is Of the
same general form as the pike but Its
head is little larger. The cheeks
are naked below, while those of the
pike are scaly all over. The color is
dark gray, while that Of the pike has
whitish or yellowish spots, smaller
than its eye, and commonly arranged
in rows; the 'musky" has round or
or squarish, blackish spots Of varying
size on aground color of grayish silver
Another difference is that there are
more rays in the gill-covering of the
muskellunge than in that of the pike.
In relation to size. it should be re-
membered that all fish have a small
beginning, and that it might be easy
to find young ''musky" much small
err than a pike.

A new run OF salmon came into the

very fair catches were reported before

ternoon some of the gillnetters came in
with fairly good hauls. AS soon as the
men delivered their fish they FASTENED
out again to take advantage OF the
incoming run. The salmon were all
covered with sea lice, indicating that
they had been In the river but few
hours when taken. The fish were large
and OF excellent quality, so greatly re-
sembling the usual July run that old
time fishermen declared they were July

pleasing information that the run was

Portland Yachting Fleet to Take
Part in Regatta VIII Com
prise Eleven Vessels.
FEATURES FOR STREET FAIR
Chairman West Arranging for
Some Excellent Attractions,
Including Piegan Indian
Dances.

George w. Barker. chairman of the
regatta yacht committee, was in Port
land last week. arranging for the CON-
ing of the Portland yachts which are
to compete in the races this year. His
trip was very successful and he secured
the cream Of the fleet. IL boats in all
They includes the Wizard, the Sky
lark, the Fizz, the Wanna the Muriel,
the Glsmonda, OF Glass G. and the B'thl
Owyhee, the OrioIe, the Lark IS, the
Agnes and the Zephyr, of class B.
There will be races for the two
classes Of yachts-an arrangement that
il very much appreciated by the Port
land yachtsmeh, They win have a
special float here for their own use,
and win be provided with cook and
all that the markets afford.
OF the boats above enumerated the
Wizard. Skipper Lewis v. woodward,
will be remembered as the winner of
last years free-for-all race. The Sky
lark, Todd, master, won the race for
Portland boats, while the Fizz, built
this year for Charley Shively, is a new
boat and an unknown quality. The
Wanna, Muriel and Gismonda have all
been here before. The Wanna is a
very large yawl and the most hand
somely fitted up yacht in oregon. The
Muriel is General Beebe's private
yacht, while the Gismonda belongs to
Frank Young.
Arrangements will be made in Port
land for a steamer or large launch to
tow down such of the boats as may
desire to come that way. Many of the
yachtsmen, however, avail themselves
Of the opportunity afforded for an out
ing and sail down, making a sort of
picnic of the trip.
Mr.. Barker speaks in the highest
terms of the treatment he received at
the hands of the Portland yachtsmen.

FEATURES FOR STREET FAIR.
Chairman West Planning Some Great
Surprises for Regatta Week.

One of the most novel features of
the street fair and carnival will be the
country store. which will be conducted
by the women's Civic Club, in. charge
of Mrs. F. D. Kuettner. Mrs, Kuettner
is making very elaborate preparations
for this feature of the regatta and some
thing decidedly novel in conception
will doubtless be the result.
Chairman West, of the street fair
and carnival committee, is in COM
munication with the Canadian govern
ment, with view to engaging band
of Piegan Indians from the Indian
reservation near Macleod. Alberta, for
exhibitions Of their native dances in
all the barbarity Of their native cos
tunes. 1t Is well known fact that
the Piegan indian native dances are
the most wierdly fascinating Of all In
dian dances, and should Mr.. West be
successful in his endeavors, an enter
tainment of decidedly original nature
win be enjoyed by Astorians and their
guests.
It has been definitely decided to To-
cate the different sideshows and other
features on the streets intersecting
Commercial street between the post
Office and Fourteenth street, which will
have the effect OF making Commercial
street between these two points con-
tinuous source Of entertainment. That
this years street fair and carnival will
surpass anthing ever before presented
in conjunction with the different an
nual regattas is now foregone con-
clusion. The artistes engaged for this
portion of the regatta program are
without doubt some of the most prom
inent in the profession. Furthermore,
no Objectionable features will be al
lowed. The entertainment will be in
direct charge of the street fair and
carnival committee, under the direction
of Chairman West, and nothing will be
permitted that would in any way Of
fend the most sensitive.

NEW RAILROAD IS NEEDED.
Portland Must BE Up and Doing tc
Save Her Trade.

1
Portland telegram Keenly alive q
the fact that the development OF Gen.
tral Oregon by the advent OF rail-
road into that territory means a vast
trade for this city, TO which II Is trib.
utary, Portland's most prominent bus-
mess men are watching things closely
to see which way that trade Is likely
to SO, The danger of road leading
from central Oregon TO san Francisco
Is feared as It IL the unanimous opinion
of the business men that II should
be Portland. not San Francisco. that
should secure and control the trade OF
central oregon.
Two roads so far have been project
ed into that country, but they are far
from completion. and with four SUR
veying parties In the field from CAL
ifornia II has given rise TO grave ap-
prehensions that San Francisco may
after all obtain permanent hold on
central 0regon's trade The country
itself needs but railroad TO make It
enormously rich. The lands are Just
suited for agricultural purposes Of all
kinds, the biggest sheep and cattle
ranches. In the northwest are In that
country. and opening railroad connec-
ton means trade that will not be
excelled by any other one section OF the
state.
Oregon trade for oregonians IL what
the business men proclaim, taking as
their stand that the trade Of oregon
should flow through It's natural outlet
to foreign ports and the United States
at large. In speaking OF the situation,
H. NJ. Cake, president OF the CONNER
cial Club, said:
What do think OF the effect OF the
Gould system entering the state OF Oh
egon from the south and tapping the
central and southeastern portion Of the
state. and what the duty OF Portland
and the state should be In the prem
ises?
Il would answer most emphatlcally
that II the state OF Oregan would re-
tain its Industrial and commercial ad-
veatages. It must not allow the trade
from any portion Of the state to be
diverted. Southeastern Oregon be-
longs to the state, and II It's trade and
business were monopolized by San
Francisco and California interests we
would be greatly injured.
Portland and the state must hold
together. No portion Of the trade or
interests Of the state should be divert
ed, If 1t can be prevented by energetic
action on the part Of our citizens and
of the state at large.
For my part. ! have been greatly in
terested in the development Of central
and southeastern oregon, and believe
that 1t is ar imperative duty devolving
upon the citizenship Of Portland and
the state to tap this country by rail-
road and to develop and control its
trade as part OF the state Of oregon"

WOLF HUNTING IN LAPLAND.
Natives Run Down Animals on Skis
and Dispatch Them With Spears.

Natives Run Down Animals on Skis
and Dispatch Them With Spears.
The most northern point Of Scandi-
navia or Finland is inhabited by Laps.
They are divided into mountain and
field Laps. The latter live In the val.
leys and are employed chiefly In agri-
culture; the former keep to the noun
tains and they are very wealthy, owing
to their immense herds Of reindeer,
which Craze summer and winter In
the open.
II the snow is very deep in winter
the herds are brought down to the
more sheltered valleys. In spite Of
constant watchfulness they are even
there not safe from the invasion Of
wolves, whom hunger drives down to
the lowland from the forests.
The mountain Laps in consequence
organize wolf hunts during the win
ter. They pursue the animals on skis,
or snowshoes, and owing to the great
speed at which they can get over the
frozen snow they soon overtake the
flying beasts and kill them. The
huntanen carry nothing but short
heavy spear, which they drive home
with a practiced hand. Only when
wounded do the wolves attack their
pursuers, otherwise the cowardly
brutes seek safety In fight.
