Eighty-Four-Pound Salmon Caught

ASTORIA, June 9.—What is said to be the largest salmon ever caught in the Columbia River was delivered to-day to the Elmore cannery. It weighed eighty-four pounds; and when cut up, made five and three-fourths dozen cans. The monster was four and one-half feet long, and three and one-half feet at the largest circumference. The fisherman was paid $5.46 for the fish.—Daily Oregonian.
