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 ti 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 Tilla- 
mook. He has a good business in clams and crabs, although he is about 
to close out. 
Aberdeen, Wash. 
June 24 . 
The £4 11a May", Capt. Anderson, is fitting for a beam-trawl, and 
putting in some heavy wincn gear for lifting the net; she will be ready 
in about a week. The last two trips were north of Gray's Harbor. 
Capt. Anderson 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 engage his other boat in it.
