Kelty of Reno will close their large home there to move to a permanent resi dence which they have purch ased from Robert C. Maris on Hwy 101 in the heart of Smith River valley. The Nevadans, since Dr. Kel- ty’s retirement, hava traveled throughout Europe and the Ori ent with the medico intermit- stantly studying new methods and advanced medicine at Mayo Bros, clinic in Rochester, Minn., and in Vienna. Seeking a sea level spot to further his own health, Dr. Kel ty stopped over at Dunroven Lodge, Rovers End, to renew old Lakeview, Ore., acquaintance, the Dick Farises. It is Smith River valley’s good luck that Maris, local dairyman, has just completed a new cot tage advantageously situated on the Oregon Coast Highway, now the Kelty home. Dr. Kelty plans to establish an office right in Smith River to serve the community surround ed by woods operations, four mills and one planing mill. Nearby communities of Fort Dick, Crescent City and Brook ings and Gasquet, which today are bulging and trying the abil ities of five other doctors, will be served also by Dr. Kelty. He stated in an interview his selec tion of Smith River as a perma- net location came about because it appeared that there was the great(\st need for a resident phy sician. One hundred years after the few white settlers and Indians fought at the Battle of Battle Rock, on the shore and hill at Port Orford, the residents of ’51 —a century later will re-enact the battle on the eve of June 9 (Saturday), later dancing to the music of the "Pals of the Golden West” at the high school gym.

There will be exhibits, free boat rides, and an old-fashioned style show and musical program in the af ternoon.

Oregon Coast Fishii ig Good, Says OCA Bulletin Issued For Tourist Invitation Fishing is always good along the Oregon coast, says a bulle tin issued by Oregon Coast As sociation. You may catch some kind ot fish any day of the year. One is asked to consult Ore gon Angler’s Guide for license fees, open areas, open seasons and limits. Local dealers and .sportsmen in every locality will always be found willing to as sist you. Cutthroat Trout are the pri mary trout in the count less riv ers of the coast. These cutthroat are both continual denisons ot rivers and creeks and migratory. The early runs start upstream in March and April A cutthroat weighing from one to two pounds is not unusual. The bulk taken will range from nine to 12 inches. Steelhead - - broadly speaking, the winter runs come in all ma jor Oregon coast streams from early November on through to late March. On the Rogue and Umpqua, the steelhead take a fly, with the season generally best best from around July 15 to mid October. The cutthroat also will ake a spinner and crawfish tail baits. However, fly fishing is the attraction of these two streams. Salmon Runs of big, sporty Chinooks come into many of the < »regon rivers in the spring. The fish run from mid-March to May. The fall runs of Silversides and Chinook salmon provide excep tionally satisfactory sport. These big beaut it's area really vicious, hard fighters. They come into all major coast streams in numbers after the first fall rains. Striped Bass Coos and Win chester Bays have become major Pacific coast centers for these.; These fish ranging from two to 60 pounds are caught on wob- blers, plugs, and bait. They are caught throughout the year but the best runs are from late May until October. Boats, tackle and guides, if desired, may be ob tained at North Bend, Coos Bay. Spire-Charleston and Wincheser Bay. Coast Lakes At various points along tiie coast are located a number of fine lakes, stocked with cutthroat trout, and other fish.

Earl Parker was finally con tacted, and he came with a motor boat to rescue them, for it would have been after midnight before tide would have been sufficiently low to permit them to walk out as they had walked in. Quite a number of people lined the short, trying to ask them questions, but since they were so far out, and with tides mak ing the noise, not a word was understandable.
