HARRY NELSON, MERCHANT TAILOR
RAZOR CLANS
TOLD ABOUT
BY HALFERTY
G. F. Halferty, president of the Pio
neer Packing Company of Cordova,
recently contributed to an Outside
newspaper a page of pictures and an
article telling of the habits of the
razorback clams, from which the fol
lowing excerpts are taken:
“Starting at the lower side of the
‘spat’ belt, the size of the clams stead
ily graduates larger as one approaches
low water, where the remarkable ones
are found. Marketable clams are
never found on the spat belt, neither
is spat found at low water.
“Careful study and investigation,
coupled with well-known facts, lead
to the belief that when the tide is
high the ‘spat’ slowly work their way
Seaward from the propagating belt,
beneath the sand, by the same means
of locomotion by which they disappear
in the sand; thus by easy stages they
arrive at low tide in about one year
when they are of marketable size.
“It must be understood that should
they come out of the sand to migrate,
their numerous enemies would destroy
them. Thus every year the propagat
ing belt is vacant to receive spawn
the following June.
“It is my opinion that razor clams
spend the prime of their life at or near
low water, and that when age comes
on and natural death approaches they
work their way into the sea beyond
the breakers, burrow deep in the sand
and there die, buried where the break
ers will never wash them out. It
seems to be the instinct of all ani
j mate creatures to hide away when the
: time comes and die alone.
“The theory that clams do pass on
into the sea is more evident when we
know that clam diggers very seldom
dig up a dead clam or empty shell.
Comparatively few empty shells are
j found on the beach, when we consider
! the myriads which must die a natural
death. We notice the same law with
the bird family, a dead one is seldom
found; they hide away.
“As late as 1903 the sea otter hunt
ers near Oyhut, with powerful glasses,
often saw sea otter eating large razor
clams as they floated on their backs,
holding the clam on their breasts with
their flappers. I consider the above
argument conclusive evidence that
there are millions of clams in the sea
beyond low water.
“All varieties of clams are called
bivalves, because they have two oper
tures in their neck with a valve, or
stop cock, at the outer end of each.
Clams have the power to open and
close these valves alternately; by 1
opening one and closing the other and
expanding their shells they suck air
from above and by compression of
their shells they force sand above
them with great rapidity.
“They are a perfect pump; in fact,
our hydraulic pump might be consid
ered an infringement of the clam’s
patent. Their pumping apparatus is
one means of their locomotion and
livelihood. Thus the obtain food
and at the same time dredge it above
them, the force of which .settles their !'
shell into the excavation.”

extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
