Fish Start Annual Rush to Spawning Ground. 2 CARPENTERS DROWNED TIIE SUNDAY OHEGOXTAX, TORTLAXD, MATlCn 20, 1921 i READY IMHOMUUn LOST RIVER IS CROWDED Methods Tsed by Both Indians and Whites Are Unsportsmanlike bat Highly Effective. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March 19. (Special.) Portland's annual run of smeit in the Sandy river is only a Bmall-Ecale representation of the March run of mullet in Lost river, ten miles from Klamath Kails. For the last fortnight the Indians have been gathering and preparing for the run, as they have done each March ever since there were any Indians, oldtimers say. Promptly Tuesday morning the first mullet ap peared, jumping and lunging on the surface of the water. He was fol lowed soon by more of his kind, and by evening the pool below the gov ernment diversion dam was choked by countless thousands of the great fish. The Indians use gaffhooks and barbed pitchforks to take the mullet from the water. The fish are split down the back and fixed on wooden frames to dry in the sun. The In dians are not alone in the work and scores of white 'men take part In the harvest, salting down the fish in bar rels or smoking them for winter use. Klamath Falls hotels and restaurants serve mullet while the run is on. Finn Favorite Food. "Mullet" is the local name for the fish, which is unlike mullet known in other parts of the world. Mostly the fish are of uniform size, about two feet long and weighing seven to eight pounds, although there are records of individuals over 36 inches long and weighing 20 pounds. The flesh is white and firm and the bones are all attached to the vertabra. As a. food fish, many prefer the mullet to trout. Many are the stories of the Im mensity of the numbers of the fish. A favorite way of catching them is to back a farm wagon into the stream, fill the wagon-box with fish by means of pitchforks, and then drive back on dry land. The fish are corded up on the bank like stove wood. Police Judge A. L. Leavitt who has lived in Klamath Falls since be fore the courthouse fight was heard of, tells of driving a horse and light buggy across the stream supported by the bodies of the fish. Cannery Fails to Thrive. A dozen years ago a mullet cannery was started on Lost river. After a precarious existence of a year or two it failed from one of the many causes that make canneries fail. The mullet come from Tule lake and ascend Lost river to spawn. The government has constructed a di version dam to lead the waters that feed. Tule lake into Klamath river. The purpose of this was to permit Tule lake to dry up, thus reclaiming many thousands of acres of rich lands for farming. This operation was' carried out with no regard for the future of the poor mullet, which are a local Institution, have no friends abroad and are not even pro tected hy the game laws.
