' .. - .. RAZOR . CLAMS SCARCE . J Reports from the upper Columbia river state that the back of aalmon to date has been much better than ex pected at thla time of the aeason. The pack has consisted principally of blue backs, or sockeyes, with only a sprink ling of ohlncoks. The pack of chlnooks along the lower Columbia remains email on account of the high wator. However the Astoria Budget aays tint reports from the lower harbor are that better catches of salmon were made there recently than hereto fore during the present season. Thla Is said to be especially true of fisher men using small mexh nets. The larg est salmon reported thus far was a, Chi nook welching 60 pounds. -'This fish was caught several days ago In the north channel. While the season la still young. It Is now positively stated that efforts will be made to pack a large amount of steel- neaa salmon along the Columbia river in present year. Bo much success has been achieved by packera of steelheads during the past two seasons that moat ctuinera will put up thla variety during tne mil pacx. as a general rule the price of ateelheads Is 10c per doaen un der the value of chlnooks. Thla would place talis at 21.75. pound flats 11.90 and half flata at 21.06. With the exception of the half flata this would be the same price as ruled for Columbia chlnooks laat aeaaon.
