Sutherland Sees
Future In
Alaskan Fisheries
Foreseeing a great future in
Alaskan fisheries in the Cook’s In
kJet and Kodiak areas, Dan Suth
erland, venerable oldtimer, and
former Delegate to Congress, de
clared yesterday that “A balance
of economy should enable Alas
kan enterprise to develop new
types of fish canneries formerly
monopolized by the Japanese.”
Cheap Oriental labor had made
it highly profitable for the Japs in
the past to maintain grandscale
1 crab canneries. Sutherland pointed
out that as an Alaskan industry
this type of production would be
: an added sources of livelihood for
the stampede of newcomers.
Comparing the present expecta
tion of an Alaska boom with the
same post-war period after World
War I, which came during his
term of office in Washington,
Sutherland said:
“The coming influx of ex-serv
icemen and others to the Territory
will be unlike anything seen here
since the days of the goldrush.
While great numbers came here
after the last war, the interest in
Alaska was not then as wide
spread as it is now.”
During his Delegateship, Suth
erland was instrumental in ob
taining adequate fishing legisla
tion and in procuring the first
government mail plane sent here
for in experimental mail flight.

mous Ben Eielson, then a physi
cal education instructor at the
high school, flew the plane on its
trial run from Fairbanks to
Bethel.
Sutherland, who was born in
Canada, first came to Alaska in
1898 as a second mate on a mer
chant ship sailing the Bering Sea.
The gold rush was on and he later
changed ships to sail the freight
route between Nome and St. Mi
chael.
Now residing at Ogontz School
for girls, 15 miles north of Phila
delphia, the former pioneer makes
his home with his sister who is
head of the school.
Especially proud of his only son,
Pfc. Donald Sutherland, the old
, timer said he had been in the In
fantry through the European cam
paign. A former professor of lan
guages at the University of Colo
rado, Donald, who spent his child
hood at Ruby and Juneau, had
studied seven years at Princeton.
During the war he was an ntor
pretcr and translator. Once he
narrowly escaped with his life
when a machine gun bullet grazed
: his head, wounding him, but no'
.seriously. Pfc. Sutherland expects
to be discharged soon and will re
turn to the University.
At the height of shin sinkings
in the Atlantic during two months

letters sent overseas were lost.
Australia is the only country
