ST. NICHOLAS ON HOME
DOCK ONCE MORE
SECTION OF GRAIN FLEET
LEAVES UP THIS MORNING
WATERFRONT ITEMS.

AT 6 o'clock last evening the bar
tug Wallula ranged the American
ship St. Nicholas alongside the Kin
ney dock, with all hands well and
happy, after an Is day passage down
from Nushagak, Alaska, with the
seasons salmon pack of 51,0l8 cases
in her hold; and she had hardly come
within jumping distance OF the pier
head before the 200 men on board, all
natives or citizens of this city and
port were making long and flying
leaps ashore, anxious to be again
among friends and kinsmen after
their four months sojourn in the far
north.
The ship represents the interests Of
the Columbia River Packers Associa-
ton, OF Astoria, in the salmon indus
try as it is maintained on Bristol
Bay; and L. 0. Belland, councilman
of this city, is the manager of that
business up there. He was ashore,
accompanied by Mrs Belland, who
was with him in Alaska. this year, and
both were cordially welcomed all
along the streets en- route to their
home at the East end. ~
The St. Nicholas sailed from this
port on April 10th, last; passed
through the Unimak passage on May
10th; and the cannery forces started
on fish on the 9th of June, finishing
on July 22nd The ship left out on
the 14th Of August and reached the
Columbia bar on the evening of
Tuesday, September 1st.
Manager Belland is immensely
pleased with the seasons work and its
results, since he put up more salmon
than was ever put up with two lines
of machinery in any previous season
in those waters. The pack outdoes
the 1907 season by just 21,000 cases,
or 5000 more than the c. R. P. Asso-
citation ever packed before; and 2l,-
600 better than was ever put up under
the old management of the northern
plant He declares he has been work
ing as fine group Of fishermen as
ever served cannery anywhere, and
as for the cannery force itself, hel
cannot say enough; the whole sea-
sons work going forward without
hitch, accident, death, or any obtrud-
ing circumstance of any sort.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bel1and are ex-
tremely glad to get back to home and
friends and both are in the finest
health possible; and their friends are
quite as glad to see them back on
home ground. Mr.. Belland will re-
sume his councilmanic duties in due
course, and he will find plenty to do,
as Of old.

JAPANESE CHERRY BLOOM.
One of the Beautiful Spring Flower
Sights i'm the Boston Arboretum

Sights in the Boston Arboretum
Among several very noticeable dis
plays in the Arboretum, the most de-
lightful and POLITICALLY suggestive is
that of the Japanese cherries-Pru-
nus Pendula and P. Miqueliana, both
now in the full glory of their floral
festival and P. Pseudo-Cerasus, as
we'll, a tree Of rather different habit.
These are all in neighboring groups
near the Forest Hills entrance. The
two first named are much alike,
though with slight differences; both
now are wreathed in clouds of faint
ly flesh-tinted flowers, which droop
in heavy garlands toward the earth.
The third is tree of greater size
and very upright in habit. Its indi-
vidual flowers are less numerous but
much larger-about the size of large
apple flowers, some an inch and a
quarter or more across-a deep rosy
pink in color.
What glorious sight an avenue
of these must present-such there
are in Japan, some of them miles in
length. No wonder an impressionable
people like the Japanese are moved
to make a universal holiday of the
flower festival of the cherries. The
largest specimen of P. Psuedo-Ceras-
us in the Arboretum group is
thought by Mr.. Dawson to be. not
only the finest for color, but the
largest in size in this country, and
probably larger than is to be seen in
any European garden. These were
raised here from seed received some
years ago from famous collector
