iT GETS RESULTS
Surplus Canned
Salmon Creates
Wrong Attitude
The difficulty of getting sat;s
factory supplies and foodstuffs
which Alaskan women are en
countering as a result of the mar
itime strike is not the only in
fluence on the Territory of the
prolonged tie-up of Pacific Coast
shipping according to Captain
A. E. Lathrop of Cordova.
“Sales of Canned Salmon, the
Territory’s Heading product and
chief source of tax revenues,
\
have virtually stopped”, Captain
Lathrop said. “During this Nov
ember, only 25,300 cases of Can
ned Salmon were sold by the in
dustry. Nearly five times this
amount was sold during the same
month a year ago, when strike j
conditions did not exist. In ad
dition to the paralysis of selling
operations, more than a quarter
of a milllion cases are strike
bound in ships in other ports.
This cargo is already sold to
wholesalers and jobbers, but can
not be unloaded from ships to
be sold to consumers.
‘‘A real danger to the Salmon
Industry and the residents of A1
aska who are dependent upon it
1 for their livelihood, will arise
when stocks of Canned Salmon
in grocery stores are used up.
The Canned Salmon Industry is
spending thousands of dollars in
advertising to housewives to get
them in the habit of serving this
product regularly.
“This campaign has shown re
sults, but if housewives once get
out of the habit, or cannot buy
salmon wrhen they want it, the
benefits of the advertising wild
be destroyed”, Captain Lathrop
continued. “A recent survey show
od that dealers’ stocks of Can
ned Salmon were not exception
ally large. If their stocks can
not be replenished as housewives
i buy the product at their stores,
the Industry is in danger of go
ing into the next pack with a
| huge unsold volume left from
the 1936 pack. This of course
would mean that the 1937 pack
vaiiue would be depressed, and
profitable operation impossible.
‘‘Right now the terminals are
choked with Canned Salmon
which cannot be shipped to mar
ket. While the industry has less1
salmon unsold now than it had
a year ago, the beneficial effects i
of the large saies last summer
will soon be lost if the tie-up
continues.”
Jack Isaacson
Of Fairbanks
Frozen Death
'Rv T'hP Associated press)
FAIRBANKS, Jan. 5, — The
body of Jack Isaacson, aged 56,1
was found frozen in a snow
drift, a half mile from the Fish \
Creek dredge, twenty-five miles
from here, by a search party sent
out by U. S. Commissioner Grow- j
den.
The party reported only an
arm was projecting from the
snow.
Isaacson had started to walk
down to Fairbanks from the
Creek, a week ago. He took the
old branch road by mistake and
. lost his way. He had no snow
I shoes. There are no known re
j latives. A dog team is bringing
the body to Fairbanks.
TERRITORY SEEKS
UNCLAIMED FUNDS
Declaring that a long list of
depositors in the Miners and Mer
chants bank at Ketchikan has not
been heard of in the years be
tween October 15, 1928 and Octo
ber 15, 1936, the Territory of Al
aska asks that several thousand
dollars in small accounts be turn
ed over to the territorial treasury
The plea was made in a suit
filed recently in the federal court
through James S. Truitt, terri
torial attorney general, who vis
ited Ketchikan several weeks ago,
then returned to Juneau.
The plea is made under the
law that when a depositor in a
bank has not been heard from by
the bank in a limited number of
years, the money escheats to the
Territory. The list includes four
pages of names and amounts, sin
gle spaced and full lined. Many
of the accounts are for a single
dollar, or a few dollars.
