Tex Cobb Swears off Fishing for Good

Tex Cobb is passing through the Valley briefly between his annual summer fishing season on Kalgin Island in Cook Inlet and a prospecting trip for semi precious stones.
 Tex wasn't very happy with the fishing situation in Cook In- let this year. Like most of the netters, who have fished for years in the same spot, he felt that the swarm of drift gill netters which skinned off all the salmon had ruined fishing in the Cook Inlet. With all the FWS closure days clamped on to give the fish a chance to escape to spawn, the stationery netters had a very poor season, he said.
 Its the last year I'll go fish ing. he said Every year 1t gets worse"
 He expects to take off in a few days for a mountain about 50 or 70 miles from here to prospect for sem-precious stones. He's not just sure what the material IS, but it's semi-transparent with a

 The new Moose building does n't have a title yet, but it is de- finitely out of the hut class, so Moose Hut will be archaic from now on. Construction has been going on for only about two weeks, but contractors Chet Sandvik and Bill Rourk have been rushing the job to get it 'eady for the Tuesday meeting.
 It will be a one-story 40 foot
