While the Cowlitz river is the only constant
spawning ground, the oulachan has been known
to run up the Lewis and the Sandy. At the time
of the run up the Lewis, IA years ago, there
only small run Of male fish In the Cowlitz and
the fishermen made their seasons catch In the
Lewis. About once In eight years there Is a run
up the Sandy, apparently Independent Of the
COwtz run, as the number in that river Is not
lessened. At the time of the last run in the
Sandy party of Portland men went out with dip
nets One man lost his dip net but found an
old. rusty discarded bird cage He tied 1t to
the end of pole and scored equal catch with
the others. During the same run farmers drove
their wagons into the stream. dipped them full
of fish and hauled load after load to their or
chards to use as fertilizer Pork sold In the
Portland market some months later had dis

known by fishermen who have been in the busi-

the river had yielded over 100000 pounds. or

5000 tons of Oulachan, and as the fish average
about eight to the pound SOO0o.OoO of them went
the way of the market and the frying pan.
The fishing grounds of the Cowltz are prac-
tically the only where the oulachan can be
caught in paying quantities. On the Columbia
some few caught by gill netters. But the
river is deep and for the most part the fish swim
beyond the reach of the widest net Even when
caught they have to be picked one by one out
of the meshes SO putting the gill netter out OF
competition with the Cowlitz man and his greedy
iong-handled dipper The grounds extend but
eight or ten miles in the Cowlitz. Before Kelso
was on the map the best location is said to have
been directly opposite where the Northern Pa
cifc depot now stands, but the growth OF the
town has driven the fish farther up and the best
catches now made two miles above this point
Between the small floating docks of the town
and the fishing grounds boats ply day and night
during the runs, going upstream empty and re-
turning laden with fish. Over 500 boats are
ployed In the industry. about 75 Of them power
boats.
It seems strange that the oulachan. SO far
superior to the eastern smelt, has never reached
the eastern markets. The fish packed in
50-pound boxes for shipment and the earlier
catches sell in the wholesale market at from
$3.50 to $500 the box; but in the height of the
season the ordinary fisherman gets only about
$50 for 200 boxes-10.00O pounds. On the river
several men who buy at these prices from
other fishermen, maintain boats of their

the greater part Of the retail trade Is supplied
through them At Keso smelt have been shipped
as far east Wisconsin. The fishermen say
that with cold storage facilities the output could
be greatly increased. Canning in the form OF
sardines has never been tried though in the
opinion Of experts the fish SO treated would dis
count the imported sardine. The market is usu
ally demoralized early in the five months sea-
son by schoolboys, who go out load up few
boats with fish and become an easy mark for
buyers. Often. too Greeks and Italians come up
the river in boats, stay day two and sell
their fish for whatever they can get and the men
regularly engaged In the trade want to make it
a licensed one. on this account.
The growing output OF the oulachan would

Ashley Tribune: At the inisurgent

took pains to point out that Buchan-

members of the North Dakota con-
gressional delegation in connection
with such names as LaFollette, Mel

surgents. 1t is indeed fortunate that
in order to be a champion of the in
terests of the people of the country
and his own state, do not necessl-

litical faction, and no one can with
truth intimate that North Dakota's
congressman or the United States
senator are unmindful of our peoples
needs and interests merely because a
couple of them do not happen to be
insurgents. 1t is of some interest
and satisfaction. for example, to
know that when the brainy men at
the head of national societies for
the benefit of the grain, fruit and
stock growers of the United States
look about for men who are recog-
nized as great champions of the peo-
