LOTS OF SEA FISH
FOUND At NEWPORT
Sportsman Reports That Boats Usually
Carrying Tourists Find More Profit
in Fishing.

The halibut beds at Newport are so
thickly populated with the big sea fish,
according to reports sent out from that
summer resort, that the fishermen are
reaping a good harvest so far this sea-
son.
Oscar Bowers, local sportsman and
business man, has just returned from a
short sojOurn at Newport, and he de-
clares that the gasoline boats which
heretofore were employed by sightseers
and tourists are making more money
this year by plying between the shore
and the fishing beds. The halibut are
found 20 miles from the beach. The
boats travel out with the tide and re-
turn with the tide.
Mr.. Bowers states that one Of the
fishermen returns every evening with a
large quantity of fish, which he boxes
up and ships to Portland. The ship.
ments leave at O'Clock in the morn.
ing and arrive in Portland about 4:3O in
the afternoon, thus making it possible
for Portland markets to receive fresh
halibut from the sea.
Halibut fishing is becoming great
industry at Newport, and when the cold
storage plant has been completed at
that place, many more fishermen will
probably be in the field during the sea.
