The Bee has done much for the upbuilding of the gicat city of Omaha , and consequently for the stuto of Nebraska , nnd it has wielded a greater Influence over the politics of Ihe elly nnd slnlo than any other paper.

At Samuel Elmore's largo.es- tabllshmcnt , 100 Ions , comprising 10,000 salmon to 5 o'clock the mon , had been received up other day. This cannery will run night and day and even then will have more fish than can be handled. The same is true of all Ihe oilier canneries which are using slicuuous effevts lo handle lho fish already leceivcd. The high boat , BO far as had reported , came In with 4,800 pounds of salmon , the- result of a nlght s work. The haul brought $21G The low boat at Hlmoro's had eighteen fish , weighing over 400 pounds. A fisherman who bad woiked all through the strike airived down fiom Kalama , hav ing ceased operations for the season. He said ho bad earned about $3,000 , which he considered enough for one bcason. He re ceived 4V4 cents for his fish. It Is thought by all the packcis that the catch will be quite as laigo as that ot last } ear. The effect of tbo settlement of the btrlke has had a wonderfully beneficial lesult com mercially and the merchants were hardly able to supply the demands for goods. COAST KLOUU TRADE. Tames McWllllams , who for several years has devoted himself to the export of Hour to foreign countries , in an interview with a reporler of Ihe Portland Evening Telegram gives some interesting figures iccarillng the Pacific coast flour trade In the Orient , from which place ho recently came He has traveled oxtenslvily through Ja-a-i , China , Phillippine islands , Straits Setlle- menls , Java and Australia , and In all of those countilcs he says that the Washing ton , Oregon and California flour Is known as the best flour In their marketb. Mr McWllllams says- "In 1895 there was sent fiom the United States to Hong Kong 3,750000 sacks of Pacific coasl Hour , containing one-fourlh of a barrel each , or something over 000,000 , hairels , nbout one-half of which was shipped from California. "Japan consumes about 200,000 sacks per year. Tlio flour from Hong Kong is dis tributed to the Phillippine islands , CoIon Java , Slam , up the China coast and Straits Settlements. The Increase in 189j over that of any other year was , accord ing to statistics , f > 0 per cent. "A brief history of flour In China may nol bo unlnloiesting.

This undoubtedly solves the problem of whether hundreds of miners at Cook's Inlet will find gold In paying quantities. Meeker tells of seeing washed from two shovelsfull of earth twelve chunks of gold varying In size from a ginln of wheat lo a pea. Such dlrl will pay well lo work oven by hand , and during lho summer sluices can readily bo worked.
