SMELT UNION IN
REBEL BOYCOTT
OE SANDY RIVER
Smelt have evidently cancelled
their annual catch-as-catch-can en
gagement with the public In the
Sandy river this year and the stake.
which is temporary reduction of food
prices, will be forfeited to the profi
teerwith the privilege of doing with
it as he sees fit.
Each spring for the last three years
the delicate little smelt, which savors
of the mountain trout, has thrown its
millions of tribesmen on to the scale
of food demand for a week or two.
SPAWNING PLACE SPURNED
The smelt is a slender little fish with
silver tinted sides and its fancy leads
it from the ocean to various streams
each year to" spawn. When the run of
smelt is on, the favored stream swirls
and shimmers from bank to bank with
these fish as they fight their way
toward the headwaters.
The Sandy river has long been a fa
vored stream, but this year the fish
have seemingly deserted their haunt. In
former years the run came during the
first and second week in April. The
time has now passed and not a smelt
has been seen in the Sandy.
FroYn 1913 to 1917 there were no smelt
runs in the Sandy river and then in the
spring of 1917 countless hordes of the
fish crowded the stream. In 1918 the
run was still stronger and In both
years the fish played an April fool joke
on high prices by appearing the first day
of April. Last year the fish appeared
tn the largest and latest run ever re
corded on April 21 (one year ago to
day). COWLITZ RTTNS REPORTED
So far this year the smelt have not
been reported farther up the Columbia
river than the Cowlita. where two runs
have been recorded this year.
Even if pie fish should begin to run
up the Sandy this year, the water .would
be so high and muddy it would be hard
to catch the fish and moreover the sea
son is so late now that the smelt would
be soft and not fit for the table, in the
opinion of the fish and game commis
sion officers.
Seines of every description, nets and
sieve-like buckets whien have been used
in former years to catch the fish wUl
have to remain hanging in basement and
attic until next year In the hop that the
prodigal fish will return.

THE
CHICKERING
AMPICO
Leo' Ofnstein, the celebrated pianist,
appeared in recital at the Municipal
Auditorium last night and delighted
an audience of five thousand people.
The Ampico immediately played some of the same selections. So
perfectly did the Ampico re-create the music that the audience was amazed
and-delighted. The Ampico is artist-pianist combined. It plays human-like
perfectly, with no evidence of mechanism.
Come in ask to hear the Chickering Ampico.
