Tug Robarts Plows Way Through
Immense School.
THOUSANDS OF FISH KILLED
Captain Of Tug Robarts Says His Boat
Ran Through Immense School
of Fish Coming This
Way.

Schools of salmon we've so thick south
of the mouth OF the Columbia River that
the tug Robarts. bound from Florence,
Ore, Ia Portland. had to jam her way
through them, When the fish were first
run into the skipper thought h" had
struck the derelca log raft lost by the
Francis II. Leggett, but on more mature
delibemtion he knew that the timbers
could not be that far north.
An investigation showed that the sea
was q solid mass of salmon, which were
evidently working their way toward the
Columbia River. The tug crashed through
them, grinding hundreds and possibly
thousands OF the fish into shrcds, As
lar back as the eye could see dead
salmon were strewn in the tugs path.
So fearful was the slaughter that in
places the water turned crimson. For
tunatelv none got entanglcd in the
propeller blades, and the vessel emerged
from her unusual experience in good
shape,
For several miles there appeared to
be a continuous school of salmon" said
Captain Christiansen yesterday mas
ter of the Robarts. 81 never before
saw fish crowded in 50 close together as
they were. The mass must have have
extended down below the surface many
feet.
II understand there has been no run
OF salmon into the river this season Of
any consequence. The reason can easily
be accounted ior-~they are all on the
outside. They are likely To come into
the Columbia most any day now.
There j. no doubt that the fish were
headed for the Columbia. Ii so big
runs can be expected very soon"
The Robarts was chartered by the Ore
gon Round Lumber Company recently to
tow rock barges from Stella quarry to
the Government jetty at the mouth OF
the Columbia. She arrived in port Fri.
day and will be placed in service the
first of the week. She belongs to Kyle
& Sons Co, of Florence, and has been
used at that place for towing lumber
schooners in and out over the bar She
is equipped with powerful machinery and
is of about the same size as the Vos-
burg. which was operated last season in
towing rock barges to the ietty.
