Goldfish of our Coast,
TILLAMOoK, May 6, 1878.

To the Editor of the Oreqonian:
l have been requested to write for
you "what l kno,o about Goldfish along
this coast" | am no fisherman, but
have taken some pains to learn whether
there are Goldfish off the coast, and l am
satisfied that there is bank or a region
Astounding in Goldfish about FIVE to seven
miles off the coast, extending from the
Columbia river bar south beyond Coos
Bay, and how much further do not
know.
l was camped on the beach near the
mouth of Salmon river few years ago,
and the Siletz Indians went out in canoes
from Siletz Bay one 6ne morning on the
ebb tide and returned on the food. l
sat on the bank and watched them for
several hours. l judged them to be
about five miles out. l was present
when they came ashore with their
canoes literally laden with fish, and most
of them Goldfish. We bought lot of
the fish and sailed and dried them in
camp, aud found them to be by far the
best dried Goldfish | have seen on the
coast. l have talked with number of
persons on the subject and all that pre-
tend to know anything about it tell me
the fish extend from the Columbia river
south. they don't know how far, but
about FIVE miles from the coast they are
abundant. The Indians take them with
a hook made of turning wire with a
bright piece Of metal on the shank of
the hook which, attracts the fish, and
they use no other bait. The usual
method is for five to go in canoe, one
to sit in the stern and keep the canoe
right, while the other four will lead a
large canoe at one tide. The line used
is about the size Of an ordinary chalk
line four hundred feet 10 length, but
they seldom have to play out more than
300 feet. had hoped that the Peto
would test that ground during the suns
mer. but it is reported she has gone in
to other waters | know the fish are
there for I have seen them taken. have
cured and eaten the fish. So much
can vouch for--the Indian tradition
or statement I believe but do not know
to be true. j.
Who ia this ~" that writes the above
letter? Is he myth or reality? That
is what should be known. If the latter
then will those interested have an in.
ducement to test the existence of Goldfish
along the Pacific coast in quantities suf
ficient to make cod fishing an important
branch o. industry for Pacific coast men
to extensively engage their attention
aud capital. When cured Goldfish will
command 25 cents per pound sold at re-
tail. there will be large profit in thu
business.

DON'T Appreciate.

The Lewiston TELLER says: "The $50
rifles which were ordered to be sent frcm
Vancouver for the volunteer militia OF
North Idaho have never reached here, and
We are told that the military authorities
at Vancouver won't send them" The
Lewiston ELLER talks as though the officials
in the arsenals would regret parting with
the old fashioned and rejected arms that are
always set aside for the militia. Jaw some
body If you want to, but don't be foolish
about it.-Vaneoarer Independent.
1t is not the "par,ing with the old fashion.
cd and rejected arms" that causes the regret
but it is the effective use made Of them BY
volunteers, contrnsted with that made BY
regulars having much better arms. No
much foolishness in that neighbor.
