Umatilla River Water Crisis Hit by Irrigation
In Tinada Oregon on October 23, officials report unprecedented low flow in the Umatilla River as private irrigation and bottom-land watering reduce spring runoff. Ranchers’ heavy use and poor irrigation practices threaten future supplies, risking disputes when new irrigation projects demand water. Pendleton sportsman J E B Krause warns the fall salmon run could fall 50 to 75 percent as thousands linger at the river mouth unable to ascend.

Fish being slaughtered by the "fish hog" at Umatilla river

He notes men kill 20 to 40 large salmon in hours, families waste none, Indians dry and store surplus, and urges fish wardens to curb the wholesale slaughter during spawning season to protect the stream and future runs.
