The spring fishing season on the Columbia opened at noon Monday with a larger number of fishermen at work than last year. The catches made by the fishermen in the St. Helens district have been above the average, so E I. Uallagh, buyer for the Columbia Kiver Packers associa tion, stated. On Tuesday 13 tons of fish were delivered and the Wednes day delivery amounted to nine tons. Thursday's delivery was 7 tons. The fish are small but i ne quality good, so it is stated. The price pafd for Chinooks is 12 cent-, which is an in crease over the price paid last year. Trolling is not permitted until a f ter June 30 under the Oregon law which, Master Kish Warden Shoe maker has warned will be strictly enforced. The Washington fish com mission ruling forbids trolling at all times, and reports are current that the Oregon fish commission will is sue an order forbidding trolling af ter June 30, in conformity with the Washington law. An increase in the commercial ac tivities in the Columbia river district and coast stretch is foreseen this sea son by the slate fish commission fo l lowing the first large issue of li censes and collection of poundage fees for salmon taken last year. While the season in the Columbia only opened May 1, numbers of li censes of several classes already ex ceed the total of those issued last year, according to Carl D. Shoemak er. master fish warden. Some 81 gillnet licenses thiB year have been issued, he said. Thirty-one trap permits have been issued this season, while last sea son’s total was only 33. Licenses for fish dealers to date total 27 9, while last year only 259 were issued.
