CANNERY PACKERS HAVE
CHANCE HELP Ol’T THE
RESIDENT ALASKANS
The Alaska Fishing News, pub
lished at Ketchikan, Alaska, has
the following to say in regards
to the obtaining of the good-will
of Alaskans by the cannery pack
iprc*
“Cannery packers claim they
want the good-will of Alaskans,”
said a business man this week.
“To my way of thinking they
can secure plenty of good-will
and at the same time put money
into their pockets. If I am mis
taken, they can correct me.
How? Well, for instance,they
have space in Ketchikan and oth
er Alaskan towns to warehouse
their packs. Their canned pro
ducts can be held here for ship
ment as well as in Seattle. They
now, I understand, are forced to
pay a warehouse tax to King
County in Seattle, which would
be eliminated if held here.
“Moreover, by leaving their
product here, they would be able
to make shipments to any of the
world markets, have the labeling
done here and give the extra em
ployment to local longshoremen.
“The only objection I have
heard so far is that the pack
must be government inspected &
no government inspector lives
here. If the packs were ware
housed here why shouldn’t a gov
ernment inspector live in Ketchi
kan? Other government officials
seem able to live here without
serious injury to themselves.”
"Another advantage in leaving
the pack in the canneries in Al
aska is the fact that a lower
freight rate is given packers af
ter October 1. All salmon held
back relieves the peak of the
busy summer season when vessel;
are loaded with freight and pas
sengers both ways. During the
late fall and winter boats have
very little freight and regular
passenger steamers could easily
take care of the shipments.
“Not all the local plants, it is
said have enough space in which
to store their salmon, but some
of them have. It is also pointed
out that shipment could be made
from here on boats and then load
ed on boats in Seattle for ship
ments through the Panama Ca
I nal without the necessity of un
loading and repacking from piers
and warehouses in Seattle. Sal
mon now going to Seattle is la
beled there and repacked and re
loaded on boats for shipment to
export markets and through the
Panama Canal.

Collection.
|
Rare paintings of Old Sitka in
the days of Russian possession
became a part of the valuable'
display in the Alaska Historical
Library and Museum when the |
Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, librarian
and curator.tock delivery through
Governor John W. Troy of the
studies loaned to the museum by
Mrs. W. R. Hulbert of Chicago, a
sister of Admiral T. T. Craven of i
the United States navy.
The paintings arrived on the1
recent visit of the U.S.S. Swallow
I i
having been dispatched by Ad
miral Craven to Governor Troy
: at the request of Mrs. Hulbert to
i be turned over to the museum as
part of the famed Russian collec
tion in the territorial library.
At ceremonies in the governor’s
office, the formal presentation
was made.
"These are wonderful, of great
historical value, marvelous pieces
of work and so authentic of those
days,” declared Father Kasheva-'
roff as the paintings were opened
in the governor’s office.
Four in Group.
There are four paintings in the
lot and with them came a plate
bearing the inscription: “Water!
Colors of Sitka painted by a Rus
sian naval officer, circa (about) i
1860.”
The first opened by the curator
was a .‘south view of Sitka from
the inner bay.” It shows the old
block house and other buildings
in the old Russian capital with
Indian canoes in the background.1
The second is labeled “View Tak
en from southwest, Mount Edge
combe bearing east.” The third
! is a “view of the inlet, town of
j Sitka," and as this picture was
j opened, Father KashevarofY ex
.1 claimed, “why, there is the old i
i sawmill right in the foreground.”
The fourth painting is “Principal
view of Sitka from the west,”
showing the trading post, hospi
tal, Lutheran church and many
other buildings. The curator,who
is considered the best authority
in the country on Sitka history,
| was able to point out and explain
; what each of the buildings in the
| various paintings were and what
j each housed at the time the paint
i ings were made. He declared
| them excellent reproductions of
j the scenes of that day.
Background Interesting
There is a particularly interest
I ing history back of the paintings.
They came into the possession of
Mrs. Hulbert, Admiral Craven’s
! sister, from their mother, who
was the wife of Martin Klinkof
1 strem, a Russian naval officer,
who commanded a Russian naval
vessel at Old Sitka. Father Kas
hevarofY recalls that Klinkofstrem
also was the director for the Rus
sian American Company, which
was under naval supervision at
that time. Name of the Russian
officer who painted the pictures
has been dost for history, but that
his work will continue to live is
evidenced by a view of the paint
ings, which are declared by Fa
ther KashevarofY to be among the
most valuable historical collec
tions he has ever received at the
museum.
Advertising in the Nome Nug
get can be a paying investment.
1 Why not try it
Graduates in the
Soviet Union To
Start Factories
. -
Heavy Industry Chief Sends
Technical School Youths
To Hard Tasks
MOSCOW. Sept. 24. — A new
system by wrhich soviet technical
school graduates will serve a
sort of apprenticeship before
stepping into responsible pouts
has been inaugurated by G. K.
Ordjonikidze, commissar for
heavy industry, for enterprises
under his direction.
By Commissar Ordjonikidze’s or
der each technical student must
be assigned to a specific job n a
specific plant six months before
graduation, and the plant dir
ectors must accept him. During
thus period the student will fam
iliarize himself as far as possi
ble with the work of that enter
prise. Before he is to go, the
plant must send him travel
funds and provide housing for
the young graduate and his fam
ily.
Starts at Lowest Job
On his arrival at the plant the
graduate will be placed at the
lowest job in his line of work,
such as junior technician. He is
to be gradually promoted as he
proves his worth. He cannot be
discharged or transferred to an- i
other plant within three years, j
at the end of which time he is
supposed to have added sufficient
practical training to the theoreti
cal schooling to qualify for an
executive post.
There is nothing in the text of.
the order to indicate whether the 1
individual graduate is to have a
voice in the choice of his place of j
work. . .
Is Great Need
Aiieie duuii a neeu lur irain-;
ed personnel in Soviet Russia’s
expanding industry that every
technical graduate will have an
immediate job. Until now the,
graduate got a job as one does in
a capitalist country, sometimes
hunting it himself, sometimes be
ing sent in response to a request
from a factory. Youths just out
of school frequently have been
put in executive posts for which
they were not fitted because of
the lack of practical experience.
The order shows the Soviet is
now beginning to catch up with
the demand for trained personnel.
Otherwise it could not afford to
place graduates in minor posi
tions.
Foreign Technicians Dropped
In recent years the Soviet has
been displacing foreign techni
cians on whom it depended for
guidance during the building up
of industries. Soviet industries
are now almost entirely Soviet
manned from top to bottom.
The pressure for an increase in
the production of trained youth
has been as great as the pressure
for an increase in the production
of everything else. Moral en
couragement and material en
couragement in the form of sti
pends for students and higher
wage scales for trained youths
have been used to stimulate tech
nical study.
In the past five years the train
ing schools under the commissar
