From the point where the Columbia enters into the Pacific Ocean the country it traverses has ail the diversified re- sources of an agricultural, pomological, pastoral and timber and mineral section. For nearly 200 miles inland along its course the country bordering on either side of the river is dark with a heavy growth of the very finest merchantable timber, while its waters are alive with the unexcelled Chinook salmon and numerous other varieties of food fishes, the whole now constituting one of Astoria’s staple industries, giving employment to an army of fishermen and necessitating the dis- bursement in this one industry alone of more than $1,500,000 annually.

SALT LAKE, Uran, June 23.—The Bank of Salt Lake closed its doors this moruing | and notices were posted that the sole pro- prietor, J. H. Bacon, had made an assign- ment to Frank W. Ross for the benefit of | the creditors of the institution. The lia- bilities are placed at $300,000 and the as- sets are valued at §$400,000. The cause of | the suspension was the refusal of the New York correspondents of the bank to honor | draits falling due to-day. The liabilities | are in great part to local depositors.

The distance from the sea into the har- bor limits of Astoria is but ten miles, so that the cost of bringing a vessel in from sea is necessarily less than at any other harbor accessible to deep-sea ships on the North Pacific coast. With a straight channel at the entrance to the river not less than two miles wide, and with thirty feet of water at mean low tide, subject toa rise of from six to ten feet at high water, with a fair wind vesseis of large tonnage can often dispense with the aid of a bar tug and sail safely to anchorage in front of the city. Astoria has a water frontage of five and a half miles, where ships of any tonnage can lay at the various wharves or come to anchor in the stream. Though situated so close to the open ocean Astoria has the special, exclusive and decided advantage of being a fresh- water harbor, a blessing duly appreciated by every salt-water navigator bringing his ship’s barnacled-covered bottom inte port. | That destructive pest, the teredo-or pile worm, cannot exist in Astoria harbor.

They are strangers to the Ameri-| cans and go on the Albatross as guests. | They were appointed by their home gov- | ernments, but their instructions are not | known. They stated that it would be | | difficult for them to reach the desired | | northern points, and Dr. Jordan and his | | commission was asked to take them along | | as his guests. The British Commissioners | are D'Arcy W.

James Macoun is the Canadian Commissioner, Two Japanese Commissioners will join the | party when the Albatross reaches Japan seas. | “The United States Government,” said | Dr. Jordnn“is evening, ‘‘has created this | commission and sends it to the north, in | order that it may ascertain everything | concerning the habits, life and history of | the seals, as well as to learn as near as possible the number of seals not only ov | the American isiands, but on all other | islands and in all other waters where seals can be found. Thatis what we go north | for, and we will endeavor to the best of | our ability to get at the facts.

The former, while in Norway, was recog- nized as the most learned student of the anatomy of birds in the worlda. Because of that he was asked by Professor Baird to accept a position in the National Mu- seum, where he has been for twelve years as curator of reptiles. He has contributed many articles on birds and was in charge of one expedition to the seal islands. I have proof-sheets of his report in my | | pocket, which the Government of the United States looks upon as a model of its kind. He also had charge of the expe- dition to Commander Islands, which looked into all possible relics of the sea cow, which was once found in the north, but which has been extinct for a half- century. ‘Professor Lucas is well known as a stu- dent of anatomy, Las written extensively on birds and is the author of most of the articles on higher animals in Johnson’s Encyclopedia. Joseph Murray is another member of the commission. By reason of his position as Special Treasury Agent on the seal islands he has become familiar with the eeonomic aspects of fisheries in all its details, “Charles H. Murray, the naturalist of the Albatross, has been a member of the United States Fish Commission for twelve vears and has been on the Albatross since it was turned over by the Naval Depart- ment to the commission. Captain J. F. Moser, ccmmander of the Albatross, is a member of the commission and is re- garded as one of the wisest and most ca- pable members of the naval staff, and, as it happens, is an old friend of Lieutenant Austin F.

From Unalaska we go to Prybilof I1slands, the most important of the American seal islands because of the discussion as to how far the jurisdic- tion of the United Stales extends about them. Next the Commander Islands of Russia will receive our attention, and we will after that visit all the rookeries in Roten Island and on the Kurile 1slands, which belong to Japan. ““Of course, the itinerary of the latter part of the summer will depend on the weather and the necessity of going in search of coal. All the details of the trip have been left to me. We will return about October 1, and some or all of the commis- sion may return by way of the Japan steamers.”’ BURGLARS SENTENCED.

Lady Witnesses Testify as to the Character and Conduct of the Contestant. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 23.—The Parker will case is gradually arawing to a close. The respondents rested their case at noon in rebuttal this afterncon. Mrs. Deha Sinnott of San Francisco told a story of the courtship of George H. Parker and Mrs. Husbands. She said that Parker had offered to settle $5000 and then $10,000 on Mrs. Husbands if she would marry | At the opening of court this morning | the respondents offered a certified copy of | che minutes in the smit of Charles Parker | against George H. Parker for slander in | 1886. It was asserted by the contestant, | Emma Parker, that this was a suit for $10,000 for alienating a wife's affections. It appeared that the action in question | was for slander. The case was decided in | favor of the defendant, George H. Parker. | Mrs. Delia Sinnott of this city was then | puton the stand. She testified that she was acquainted with Mrs. Husbands, the lady who claimed that George H.

He finally offered to | give Mrs. Husbands $10,000. She said | Mrs. Husbands subsequently told her that | she (Mrs. Husbands) was very foolish to let the opportunity to marry George H.

Mrs. Emma Parker said | that she was in California to break the | will. She wanted Miss Sinnott to help her in the case, and she would give Miss Sinnotta diamond ring and goiden crest worn by George Parker. She had seen the diamond ring in question on George Parker’s hand. She had never been en- gaged to marry George H. Parker. | Mrs. Emma’A. Smith of San Francisco | was the next witness.

He had told the witness that for his indiscretion in marrying the contestant he had cut off his son without a dollar. The last witness for the respondents was Mrs, . L. Smith of San Francisco. She had known George H. Parker for a number of years, and denied that Parker bad showed any signs of mental weakness. The contestants besgan offering testi- mony in rebuttal, by reading the deposi- tion of Caroline Page of New Haven, Conn. The deponent is a cousin of Emma Parker, ana claims to have known her from chiidhood. She said she had never heard that Emma Parker was in a fast house in Meriden, Conn., or anywhere else. On cross-examination Mrs. Page ad- mitted it was possible Emma Parker might have lived an immoral life without her hearing of it. Mrs. Emma L. Parker, the contestant, was put on the stand in rebuttal this afternoon, and made a general denial of the evidence imroduceg by the respond- ents during the trial. This closed the case for the contestant, and the respondents announced their testimony all in. The issues upon which the case will be submitted will be argued at 9 o’clock to- morrow morning. It is intimated that the contestant will abandon the attempt to break the will, except as to the subsidiary legacy to June Pomeroy. It is thought a verdict will be reached before the end of the week. . HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. Numerous Friends of Graduates Witness the Awnarding of Diplomas.
