ToDAY-ToMoRRoW.

We would respectfully remind the
great group of men in Washington
and Oregon nearest to the salmon
fisheries, that there is tomorrow in
the industry as we'll as today; that
today's patience, foresight, restraint
and admirable good sense, is tomor-
rows capital in the business; that
pitiful jealousies and foolish acts, in
the name of the law, or beyond it
will not compensate for a ruined en-
terprise or make good wanton losses
Tomorrow is the most essential
consideration in this behalf
Today we can meet the weight ol
discomfort, denial, loss, if we do il
so we may devise against its repeti-
ton. That is the main end in view
with all interested in the Columbia
fisheries, or should be; and it were
we'll for the men holding the prepon-
derance OF influence in the craft tc
exercise it promptly, even to the re-
fusal to buy and pack fish. 1t is go
ing to take heroic steps to avert trou
Bile and the sooner they are taken the
sooner the crisis will be reached and
possibly, circumvnted.
Tomorrow we will need the grea
industry as much, or more, than to
day, and folly never fore-stalled

There are none to measure the losses
J in this connection so accurately al
those upon whom they shall fall, MOI
are there any to move with more cir

UPHoLDs OLD LAW.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. lS.-An
opinion filed yesterday by the Miehi-
gan Supreme Court sustained the con-
stitutionality Of the maximum freight
law Of 1872, which has been ignored
by the railroads as absolute and de-
nonunced by them as unjust, unrea-
sonable and conhscatory. The law
provides a fixed rate for carrying
freight in carload lots for short dis
tances, a rate OF eight dollars for
Transporting a car ten miles being
provided regardless Of the character
of the freight.

NEW YORK, Sept iS.-Neyer in
recent years has the fear OF fire driven
this city to the emergency precau-
tions which are to-day being put into
force by the authorities An army Of
detectives is quietly being posted

not only the tenement districts, but

While every New Yorker knows that
no braver, better men ever stood in
shoe leather than the fire laddies OF
his crackerjack force, the memory Of
the shameful handicap Of rotten hose
which politics has imposed on them
is still fresh in the public mind. No
one can tell to-day what extreme this
fiery carnival may lead; but every one
is eager for the capture of the mys-
terious fiends whose work it is.
Enveloped in a cloud OF dust and
mortar, the dishgured facades OF ex-
elusive Fifth Avenue are sorry sight
to-day as the city has finally begun
its gigantic task of splitting a few
feet wider the famous thoroughfare
of fashion. Pillars, porches, bal
comics, ratings and steps that for
merly made up the ornate decorative
scheme OF the fronts OF the oldest and
most handsome buildings in the me-
tropolis are being ruthlessly knocked
into ugly heaps Of brick and brown
stone. The neat curb that for gener-
ations has outlined the greatest pa
rade OF fashion in the world has for
the first time been broken to bits and
strewn with the sidewalk tagging
back toward the base OF the dismem-
bered house fronts. Select Fifth Ave-

ALL is NOT TOLD,

When the Astoria Council Charter
Committee tells the people that the
sum OF cost for the sea-wall will be
$3oo00o, and that $4,000 more will
cover the cost OF filling in the front
age, and stop there, there is feel
ing that they are not stating the limit
nor making comprehensive estimate
of the probable costs of the enter
prise; that they have fallen short in
the duty of making clear the wide
range of auxiliary expense INSOFAR
able from the undertaking. And even
the lump estimates alluded to above
are based only upon rough and un-
expert findings; there is no trained
and scientific computation behind Ell
ther of them, because. forsooth, the
Committee 'does not need an engi-
neer to tell it about the cost OF driv-
ing piles" Mere vagrant and fragrant
appraisments of this sort are not go
ing to satisfy the small group OF
property owners in this small city
that they should enter upon a scheme
Of improvement costing nearly
round million of money, without the
sanction of qualified and adept con-
6rmation; there must be something
more tangible and acceptable than
this to bolster so great and essential
an effort; the whole array of expendi-
ture must be submitted with some de-
gree of reliability, raised upon find
ings wrought from some other source
than happy enthusiasm.
1t is rare indeed that such pub
lie venture has been carried the length
this one has; to the very compilation
Of the bill providing for it; to the
very act of public submission; with
out the calling in of tried and respon-
sible engineers; without the render
ing Of exact and comprehensive es-
Inmates of every phase of cost as it
attaches, not alone to the original es-
saw, but to the collateral lines of i'm
provement that are indispensable. 1t
is as extraordinary as it is danger
Gus, and the absence Of all these
things must prove, long before the
work is half done, that haste and ir-
responsible calculations are of poor
avail in so grave a matter, so big a
project.
We would ask the Committee to give
us some idea of the cost, and neces-
sity, of changing (raising) the pres
ent system Of grades, and the con-
sequent elevation of the streets, and
buildings, and sewers, to the new lew
els Of from two to nine feet, but we
are filled to repletion with fiimsy rec
konings, of the sort, and would much
prefer to have the report of a repu-
table engineer in this instance, as
we'll as in relation to the primary
proposition We do not dare attempt
such calculation ourselves and we
doubt if there is nerve enough to
compass it outside the enthusiastic
coterie of gentlemen comprising the
present Charter Committee. None OF
these things have been provided for,
nor accounted apparently, in the
prospectus of the Committee; but
they will not down, however persist
emily they are ignored; they must be
attended to before one single act is
done in behalf of the great work OF
the sea-wall; or posterity will damn
us infinitely, let alone the cursing we
will all live TO realize at the hands OF
our fellows upon whom we shall i'm
pose so "half-baked" proposition as
a sea-wall in front of choked sew
age system.

TESTING SEEDS FOR THE FARM.

The other day a rascal was found
to have made a small fortune by chop
ping up palmleaf fans and selling the
stuff at dollar packet, containing
a pinch or two of the precious dust
which was said to be the seed of a
rare exotic flower, So writes w. G.
FITZGERALD in the Technical World
Magazine.
He advertised widely, and numbered
professional florists among his victims.
True, he disclaimed responsibility for
the terminating power of his seed,
but this is a common warning even in
the advertising of reputable seedmen,
SO that the buyers planted, watched, and
watered with pathetic zeal until at
length an angry lady laid the swindier
by the heels
Now, farm and flower seed of the
highest quality is costly stuff. So
minutely is that Of the calce olaria,
that the actual cost of producing the
finest strain exceeds ten times the
weight of the seed in purest gold.
Mignoette seed, too, is by no means
cheap, yet that of the begonia is az
least sixty times dearer; and a liberal
allowance for two dollar packet is
measured in a tiny spoon with an
outside diameter of three-sixteenths
of an inch And yet in that smah
spoonful there will be enough seed to
produce more than hundred stately
bgonia plants!

GOLD FROM OCEAN SANDS.

From Shasta to San Diego, all the
way along the shores of the Pacific
Ocean there is gold in the black sand
which, for the greater part of the
length of the state, underlies the gray
and yellow sand of the beach. This
has been known to mining men for a
score of years or more. but ever since
they found it out they have been com
pletely bafIled in all efforts at getting
it. So writes Harry ii. Dunn, in the
Technical World Magazine
The values in the sand are low, not
mode than twenty-five cents per ton,
and the sea washes heavily over all
manner of structures which are set
up on the beach TO separate the sand
from its gold. These were the two
principal obstacles to be overcome
TO find a machine which would with
stand the storms of winter and the
tides of summer, and, at the same
time, be delicate enough to draw the
gold from the black mass of the beach.
At last, however, the riddle has been
solved, despite the wrecking of one OF
the plants with which the work was
commenced, and recent clean up OF
one days run of 1000 tons of black
sand paid 5000 over and above all
expenses. The full value of the gold
in the sand. could 1t have beea en-
tirely removed, would have been $3.50,
the actual amount taken out was
about $235 worth, making the cost OF
haadiing that 1000 tons of sand a
trife more than three cents ton,
the cheapest mining yet known to
man

difficulties attending such fight
are not inconsiderable: AS the dirAc.

their whole width.
If the aeronaut were content With

as all that was necessary was to
