Deep-Sea Fishing
Boat Goes Down
REEDSPORT The deep-sea
fishing boat "Leta B," operated
by Kay A. Curtis of Reedsport, Is
reported to have sunk Sunday on
the off coast tuna fishing
J rounds, but with no loss of life,
esse Keene, operator of a small
er trolling boat, was fishing with
Curtis and took him off the sink
ing craft before it went down.
The "Leta B." was built at
Reedsport on the banks of Sen -field
Creek several years ago by
a man named McCrary. The hull
was built entirely of iron plates
welded together.
Curtis had loaded his boat with
Ice and had started fishing for
tuna when the accident oicured.
Actual cause of the sinking is not
known, but It Is considered likely
that some of the bottom plates
were eaten away by rust, giving
way when the boat struck some
floating object or perhaps be
cause of the force from waves
striking the bottom.
Nsw Typt Boat
Rex Carlson, local outboard
motor enthusiast, has recently
purchased a new type of boat for
the Reedsport vicinity. The boat
is 14 feet long, made of plwood,
but with a blown glass exterior
that leaves a tough, hard and
smooth finish. The glass 1. paint
ed over, and is said to be so tough
that ordinary blows that would
break a wooden plank will not af
fect it except to knock off the
paint,
Catchts Ctt Smsll.r
Exceptionally smooth water
has been the rule along the Reeds
port section of the coast recently,
except when the tide begins to
ebb and starts the waves to in
crease In size and to break.
Scores of small boats powered
with outboard motors cross the
Umpqua River bar almost every
day, especially on weekend fish
ing trips. Catches have been
smaller the past week than prev
iously. N.w Building to Rise
The Douglas County bridge
crew, working in the Reedsport
area under the direction of Hom
er Gallop, will soon start con
struction of a building back of
the present ' county warehouse
and equipment shed on Fir Ave.
in Reedsport.
The new building will be of
frame construction with corru
gated Iron exterior, will be used
for sleeping quarters for county
employes sent from Roseburg,
and will only be used on a part
time basis.
During the tourist season, it is
found to be almost impossible to
find living quarters for work
crews sent to Reedsport for sea
sonal work.
Rain MIm.s City
Reedsport, usually considered
one of the "wet spots" along the
coast, was badly neglected over
the weekend by Jupiter Pluvius
when surrounding localities re
ported heavy rains. Weather on
the Lower Umpqua remained fair
over Sunday, with only occasion
al cloudy spells. Dirt road log
haulers and farmers trying to
harvest their hay continue to
hope for a return of the recent
long dry spell.
