Driscoll-Report -4- Henderson is bringing two boats down from Seattle. * * * Mr. F. Small owns and operates the ice-plant, which makes something like five tons a day; the plant is run by a gas-engine of 15 H. P. Mr. Small owns sixteen boats that do very well; these fish through-out eight months of the year, but do not get much in winter. The men are required to furnish their own nets; they sell their catch to Small. * * * Mr. I. Bibby, manager of the Tillamook Clam Market, informed me, that he uses 500 lbs. of fish each week; his fish are shipped from Portland, and he has never heard of any halibut being caught in Tillamook. He has a good business in clams and crabs, although he is about to close out. ---------------------- Aberdeen, Wash. June 24. The ^[Z]Ella May", Capt. ^[E][[strikethrough]]A[[/strikethrough]]nderson, is fitting for a beam-trawl, and putting in some heavy winch gear for lifting the net; she will be ready in about a week. The last two trips were north of Gray's Harbor. Capt. ^[E][[strikethrough]]A[[/strikethrough]]nderson expects to do well, as he has his own market, and can handle a variety of fish -- he sells a quantity in the logging-camps; later, he expects to go to San Francisco with some of his fish. He intends to go to the southward to operate the beam-trawl; if it proves a success, he will ^[?][[strikethrough]]engage[[/strikethrough]] his other boat ^[with one][[strikethrough]]in it[[/strikethrough]].
