What a sight by day and night are the seven Tuna Clipper«
reposing regally in our harbor for the past week. "Tie an ill wind
that blows no good" they say and it was high winds, at sea, which
caused the Clippers to seek refuge in our natural harbor. On sev
eral occasions it seemed that the boats were in competition in
lighting displays and it was a sight to behold. Reminiscent, in a
miniature way, of looking down on the harbor of Monaco at night.
One could easily visualize what may be in our future when, with
our breakwater finished, we may see as a matter of common oc
currence the myriad yachts and crafts "portaling" our Port. These
Clippers ranged from 140 to 160 feet long, and they carry from
200 to 4 00tons of frozen tuna. Most of them are San Diego based
and they have been fishing off the coast of M exico and South
America where they obtained their quota of yellow fin and skip
jack. They are now in these waters to catch as much albacore
as they can. Each of the boats carry a crew of eleven plus a cook
and the Skipper; most of them are Portugese and non-english
speaking but they all did w ell when ashore with sign language.'
The nylon nets used for seines, voluminous beyond description,
cost between 50 and 60 thousand dollars each. These seven shipe
cost approximately five m illion dollars; they definitely boosted
our economy in some areas and it is to be hoped that they will
make this an annual port of call.

When Estelle and Elmer Gee ting were here with their Air-
stream trailer recently visiting the Val Townleys, they noticed
a familiar name, Charles McCool, on the Sears Store. They said
they once knew some McCools in Ohio, but it surely could not
be them. However, while Mrs. Geeting was taking care of some
laundry, Elmer strolled into the store. He pretended to be inter
ested in purchasing some tires and didn't identify himself for
several minutes, tho he recognized Mrs. McCool immediately.
Finally his laugh gave the hoax away, and what a wonderful time
they all had reminiscing about the "good old days" twenty-five
years ago. It is indeed a small world.

There are moves and there are moves. A case in point is the
Rod and Grace McKenzie move into the Lester Smith home
which t h e y recently purchased on the Cape Blanco road. This
was in fact the first move for Grace as she came here from the
east twenty-one years ago mainly with only a wardrobe and
wedding gifts. It is amazing how much one accumulates in that
length of time, and now into much larger quarters, it can be
Spread around, but as tired as Grace is this week, she feels that
another move within another twenty years would be too soon!

Wordwasreceivedfrom Pollyanna Kerpa McKnight not long
ago while she was summering in Russia. After having spent an
entire year abroad prior to that, she must be one of the most-
traveled of our farmer citizens. Some do, and others find it a long
distance to Coos Bay.

ey never had it so good weather-wise. It is told that one en
thusiast went to get his golf bag and found in it a garden rake, a
pair of pruning shears,some bulbs and a bag of fertilizer. His wife
was as subtle as a sign board, we'd say.

Some Salinas, Calif, friends, Ralph and Enid Hartman, of
Chief Curt Weir stopped to see them this week en route to Can
ada on vacation. Naturally, he was taken fishing on Garrison Lake
where he caught a 14-inch cutthroat trout. Even tho Ralph is an
avid angler, this was his largest fish. He said, "they don't make
'em tike that in that southern state where we live!"

Good Clamming
With the ties! of the razor
clam tides over for the year,
Oregon Fish Commission bio
logists tabbed the 1967 harvest
as the best since 1958 and the
second highest since complete
record keeping tiegan tn 1955.
More than 1.7 million razor
clams were taken from Ore
gon beaches by an estimated
74,000 diggers this season.
There will continue to be
some digging on suitable tides
throughout the fall and winter
months, mainly at night or tn
predawn hours but clamming
activity Is expected to tx> very
light for the balanceof the year.
Over the recent six-day tide
series which Included the La
bor Day weekend some 8,600
diggers hit the beaches for a
final clamming spree that will
hold moat of them until warmer
weather and low daylight tides
come next spring.
Mrs. Lloyd Bates The wedding
is planned for next summer.
Both are attending Oegon
State University at Corvallis.
The targe Lalor Day week
end crowd followed a six-week
experimental closure on razor
clamming that kept diggers off
the Clatsop loaches during good
tides tn July and August.
Since the digging ban was
lifted, clamtneri have averaged
20 clams each on the best
tides. About half of these are
zeros or clams tn their first
year of life. They measure
from two to three and a half
Inches in length at this time of
the year. This is the group of
clams the experimental closure
sought to protect. The success
of the effect Is indicated by a
reduction In wastage of small
clams from an estimated half
million last season to about
200,000 thia year.
The real measure of success
will come next spring and sum
mer when diggers should har
vest an even better than usual
crop of good sized clams.
