An American exchange (republican) says: While Blaine considers trusts a local question with which Congress has nothing to do, Senator Sherman holds that ever/ trust that tends to prevent competition in trade, or to prevent production in this country, is unlawful, and should be so declared by the statute laws iri every state in the. Union, and by the laws of the United States; , The <Pttm«er Brest ot fit Paul claims that high license has been beneficial in that state. Sunday selling has decreased, sales to minors and habitual drunkardi are refuted, saloons of low order hav. been cloud out, and the number of saloons in the state have decreased from 2806 under the low license law to 1597 under the high license law, while the fees for licensos show a net gain of $250,000 in favor of high license. An eastern exchange speaking of the. rather flippant utterances of the young and lately appointed minister of marine and fisheries on the "retaliation" question, says: Young Mr. Tupper seems to have got down from the parental knee, and beyond the reaoh of the descending slipper too soon. It may yet prove to be particularly unfortunate that suoh a man should occupy the most important position of minister of marine and fisheries at the present moment. An exchange furnishes the following "wrinkle" in vsrniihi. Varnish made with alcohol will get dull and spongy by tbe evaporation of the alcohol, as all commercial alcohol contains water, rit wttlreMe-advisable to take a thin sheet of golf- tine, cut it into strips, and* put it into the varnish; it will absorb in the thin sheet most of the water, and the varnish can be used clear and bright till the last drop. The gelatine will get quite soft; it can then be taken out and dried, and used again. Here Is the refreshingly ingenuous way a sound paper talks: A New Westminster paper complaint thit agents of hop growers in this territory and Oregon were sent to the Fraser river to induce tha Indians in the employ of the canneries to go across the line and work for them during the hop-picking season, and had the sublime effrontery to bo- rigflit bllMc4,! Wt«<ojMdMlW^pi' among the men where they were at work. Well, brethren, retaliation is the fashion; you are welcome to invade this territory and .try-, the seductive wile, of Canadian currency upon Siwash hop-pickers. Who ever heard of a Fuget siund Indian going north to accept tribute of- the "King George" men) Within a radius of lixty miles of Nashville, Tenn., there is said to be found a tree that ii laid to be the shittim wood of ark fame. Celebrated botaniits from all over the countiy have examined the. treci and agree that they grow nowhere else on the globe. They have decided that it il the shittim wood of which Noah's ark was constructed, mention of which il made several times in the Bible, The tree is medium sized, with very dirk, smooth bark, and tho wood is of a bright gold color. In early spring tho trees are laden with long, white blossoms, closely resembling great ostrich plumes. There seems to be no doubt about the identity of the trees, and it is remarkable that they are found only in thia uniall area and ia few at that. When doctors diiagree who shall decide! A bit of enterprise on the part of the Boston Globe discloses a remarkable difference of opinion among the physicians of that city. A reporter, in perfect health, visited ten prominent Boston doctors mid stated non-existent svmptoins and requested tv diagnosis. The mini's nppearaucc .physically was i.oi fool. But notwithstanding this, each doctor diagnosed the oase in a iliirbrrnt way, and each doctor guve the imaginary invalid n iliffurt-nt proscription. The diagnoses and prescriptions together with tho interview with each doctor and statement as to tbo reporter's elegant health, was published iii the Globe, And now tho cultured Bnstoniani are snickering (they don't laugh in Boston) nt the doctors, BY TELEGRAPH. .Messrs. 1'arkui- ft Lain), of HUltilsle, writes; "Our Mr. Laird Iwvjag occsiion to visit -Scotland, ami knowing the excel; lent qualltle, of Sr, Thomas' Eoleotrio Oil, aiiiiulinled to take nme with him, anil the result liat beon very Mtoiiiihlng.

He arrived here from Oakland, Fli., where he hod in nbtervitory, on Monday and wu immediately prostrated with the disease, which the bait dooton unhesitatingly pronounced yellow fever.

The fishing ichooner Mollie Adams, which made such a latiifaotory haul of halibut Mrlier in the season, has just returned to, Seattle again, after a fishing tour of lix weeks in the vicinity of Queen Charlotte Inland, with 175,- 000 poundi of halibut, salted on board. The catch of halibut made by the Mollie Adams this season is remarkable, and the crew spook highly of the fishing outlook in' the waters off Queen Charlotte Island and Alaska. The lost catch include! about 5,000 halibut, the average weight of which is about 100 lbs. eaoh before being cleaned. When dressed and boned each fish averages a net weight of 33 j, lbs. The cargo, it is said, will be snipped to Gloucester, Mass., to be smoked. Captain Jacobs, owner of tbe Mollie Adams, is said to be negotiating for a new steamer, the Novelty, of about 370 tons, to engage in fishing along this coast. A gigantic company, with a capital stock of $2,000,- 000, is reporter) to be investigating the prospects of equipping a fleet of schoonen for engaging in fishing along the waters of Puget Sound and the Pacific coast This scheme, if carried out, will necessitate the immigration to Puget Sound of a large colony of eastern fishermen. In calling attention to a paragraph in a Tacoma paper, the other day about the "oppression"'of the C.P.R., with regard to Manitoba, we mentioned that the N.P.B. was not far behind in the "oppressing" business. This fact is being illustrated in a very unpleasant fashion for the inteiests of the American Pacific coast halibut fishermen. A Seattle exchange lays the Northern Pacific railroad oompany has raised the freight rate on nit fiih to $1,40 per 100 lbs. since the passage of the retaliation bill, being an increase of fifteen cents per hundredweight. This rate is almost prohibitive, and it is said that unless the N.PiR, agrees to more reasonable rates, the great bulk of the fish will be shipped over the Canadian Pacific Bailway. We understand that a few farmers in thii district have in view the railing of hops for the market, and are preparing ground for this purpose. To luch the latest advices from ihe, hop fields of Washington Territory, and other places will be of intereit The outlook for good fieldi and good prices lor hops this year in th. adjoining territory is •aid to be moat encouraging. Pickers are going in in such numbers that little lots will be experienced from that source, and tho yield will average a satisfactory one in every place in the hop raising district Prices range at present from 171 to 18 cents, with the almost certain prospect of going up to 25 cents before . two weeks. Indians have been employed aa pickerstoa great extent in the hop fields of Washington Territory, but this year more whites have been employed, it is said, than at any previous season, insoinecasps entire white families taking possession of the field*. If comfortable lodging accommodations were generally provided by the growers, says a Tacoma paper, tlie time may come when Indian pickers might be largely dispensed with, and the money earned'by them would go to support civilised people. A Black river hop grower advertises tor 150 men, women and children to pick his crop. He guarantees good wages and shel ter and.good food at $2.50 per week, £. Meeker at Co., one of the largest hopgrowersof the Puyallup, will, it is said, send the bulk of their large crop to London, Bng., direct, as fast as cured and baled, One grower is credited with having made profits of from $12,000 to $20,000 on his lait year's crop, Advices from tbe hop regions of Now York state that the crop is light and of a very poor quality, not over half a crop it ii estimated. There have been no contracts made at figures above 25 cents per pound. Growers do not seem disposed to sell, but are holding off for better prices. There is a good demand. In England the weather has not been favorable for the crop prospects, and in Germany the hop crop hai suffered from blight, earning the market to advance 20 marks. The price of hops, as any one may observe, variea considerably in different Beasons, from various cautei. The figures being obtained this year are very satisfactory, on account principally of partial crop failure! in some of the producing centres of the world. With all the fluctuation,, a good profit is reilized from hop-raising, »nd reipeotable fortune! have been mode in the adjoining territory at this induitry, It !• unneceuary to inform our home readers that Britnh Columbia, especially thii district, i« admirably - adapted to hop-raising. There is no reison why maoyToF onr farmers should not go into this branch of in- dtntrf exteniively, and rcallie large ptoHU. OkUdm-bffor Jfehr-'sbito-ia It's an ill wind that blows no good. The retaliation message of tbe president, among other things, is testing the latent but ardent loyalty of the French Canadians. If doubts have boeji entertained by anyone on this wore, they may now be summarily relegated to the nsh- barrel with other useless truck, as abundant evidence is forthcoming that our brethren of the "lower province" will rally round the national flag with a rush and a cheer, in true French impulsive fashion, and fight shoulder to shoulder with their En-' glisk-speaking brethren from every province of the Dominion, to repel an invader (should there ever be one) or to uphold the national dignity. An exchange says that a conservative meeting was held at Nicollet, Que., recently, and that Sir Adolpho Oaron, minister of militia, was present and spoke on retaliation. His speech is said to have created a sensation. "A threat come to us," he said, "from a great and powerful people, but if that nation is proud of its flag, of its wealth, of its power, and its population of sixty million, I as a French-Canadian say that I am as proud of our live million inhabitants and of our flag, which is the emblem of liberty and justice. We are absolutely fearless and independent, and. since President Cleveland's message has been published I have been proud to see that we have closed up our . ranks without regard to party, ready to stand by our country in the hour of danger. I am ashamed of Mr. Laurier's speech at St Thomas, in which.he attacked the governmentfor ill-treating the Americans, lie was a coward when he said that, and showed himself willing to sacrifice the great cause of the nation; but, my countrymen, do not got excited over the threats of our neighbors. They nre joolous and envious of our great progress and our transcontinental railroad. We are the fifth marine power in the world, and in the event of trouble the fishermen of the Gulf of St Lawrence would in a moment of danger rush as one man to the defence of our rights. We do not want to tight with our neighbors or with any one else, but would we sacrifice our rights for the sake of peace! (Cries of 'No, no, never!') No, I knew you too well to think such a thing. I any to you, as Jong as you maintain your rights youjwini be respected, and tho United States Will not attempt to carry out its threats." Sir Adolpho was very much excited during his speech, and the Frenchmen waved their hats and cheered until they were hoarse over the patriotic sentiments he uttered. It is actually the impression in this part of Quebec, among ignorant French-Canadians, that Canada and the United States are on the brink of a bloody war, and tbat Sir Adolpho would need very little urging to call out the militia and drive all the Yankees into tho gulf.

The officers are of the opinion that the two men seen by Mr. Harris are the osoaped convicts. It is to be hoped that no harm may come to the four officers should thoy chance to encounter" the desperate and now probably hungry villains. . A New Foundry. Messrs.

(From Our Regular Correspondent.) A.NDBiisoN Lake, Aug. 28.—When I closed my laat letter to The Columbian I expected to go into camp for aome time on the mountains between Oayooi Creek and Beaton Lake, but upon arriving at tho foot of the lake I met with Mr. W. Manson, on hii wiy to tho head of Anderson Lake, where ho has a contract for cutting saw logs for Marshall's mills, near Llllooet. Having heard of the stir amongst prospectors on Anderson Lake, and being strongly urged by Mr. Manson, I resolved to accompany him. So, after a very early breakfast, I look my scat in a very large Siwash canoe, Mr. Manson s being hoavily loaded with goodi for our eamp. Tho hull of the steamboat that plied on Seaton Lake is lying st the landing, a staunch memorial of olden times, Tho mountains on eaoh side are vory precipitous, and are composed of that ragged slaty material so common everywhere in B.O. Their varied fornit are mirrored wonderfully in tho water of the clear calm lake, making it pleas- enter to study their reflection than to look up at the mountains themselves. Lake Million is situated on a small plateau on the right, about six miles below the head of the lake. I counted 20 well-built homes besides the church. I have observed that the Siwashes in all their villages attend devotional services overy evening, and even in camp where a number may chance to be. On Sunday evening I have heard them at their prayers for an hour. Landing at the portage, 20 miles from the starting point, I went up to the home of John Bull, the biggest, richest, and mott consequential Indian here. He has a large comfortable house io a part of which are stored a great variety of the relics' ot the white man's enterprise, left when thil so suddenly ceued to be the Cariboo route. In this itore I obierved stacks of what seemed to bo straw mats, Upon examining them I found them to be mosses of huckleberries and fine straws ibout 2 feet square and an inch thick. Coming out, 1 saw a number of stages about I feet high which were covered with berries laid out with fine straw or grass stems supported on narrow slats. Close by stood a great brass kettle of at least 20 gals, capacity, in which the fruit had been cooked. When sufficiently dry theso mats are evidently cut and doubled to the required thickness for storing. Having obtained horses we packed ovor to ANIlBltSOX LAKE III the old village, which iB prettily situated, not a house is occupied. All are tabooed in consequence of many having died there of imall-pox. There iB-notihiiig-iher." to. note of interest. One of the abutments of the wharf, and two of the bridges which crossed Ihe Creek or outlet of the lake, are all that remains to bear witness to the whiteman'i reign. One would suppose that the bruth-wood wai sacred to the Siwash, io meekly doe! he allow it to take pottesiion of the garden spots from which hia pale brother had cleared it. - We statted early for Harrison, examining numerous quartz locationa on the road. I did not fall in love with any of them. At Roding creek we stopped for dinner. This is a famous fishing place, but the trout wouldn't bite. Minion caught one with the gaff. As we were about ilart- ing a large porcupine came to call on us doubtless attracted by the odor of the fry. He came up to us as boldly aa though he were an old acquaintance. He refused to run, and wai loon dis- patched, und.-carried, along for dog meat.' On arriving at camp I obierved a number of thoir tkint lying around, •nd the man told me that they had been a great annoyance, Nothing will frighten them; they have to be killed. A few nights previout one cam. on to the bed of a man who wis ileeping, and who narrowly escaped a thrashing with iti tail, for no sooner hid the man mide a move in the direction of eicape than the fretful animal began wreaking ita fury on the blankets with •uoh effect that it took half aday't picking to clear the bed of quills. As to quartz, I have examined a great deal of it. Tho formation running N. E. from the head of Anderson Lake and Pemberton is favorable and the ledges well-defined, but only bearing galena in email quantities. There are now in the vicinity about a dozen ardent protpecton, all of long and varied experience, besides a number of Indian hunters, who have learned something about oni. One intelligent huntor, who haa not been out yet, promises to bring ine back aomething extra in apecimens, but so far I have seen nothing valuable when the quantity and location of oro is oon.idored. Sunday, Sept 2nd we camped at the foot uf Ihe lake. Laat night about sundown a largo lynx caino down to the ford of the outlet where some littlo ehildron wero playing. He was observed by two miners to bo moving towards Ihe children with cat-like eagerness. At this porili.us moment I resorted to my stock of Chinook jargon and all wero convinced that it had the effect of cutting tho hungry beast out of a good supper, fur he immediately beat a retreat at the sound of my bad Chinookl The high promontory it might be called, between Seaton Lake and Cay- oose creek, contains a great deal of quartz, including the Bonanza mine. I may have somethigg to lay about it hereafter Kla-how-ya. J.M.W.
