Shrimp Cannery Open
The pickers for the local shrimp
Cannery—Glacier Sea Pood Co., are
beginning to perk up and take on
a new lease of life. The good word
has been passed along that the can
nery will open on the first day of
May. The absence of the payroll
from this institution for the past
six weeks has been felt in every
corner of the town so that it may
truthfully be said that not only the
shrimp pickers rejoice.
Old Man LaGrippe has been in
and around town the past week and
put his hand on quite a few. No
serious cases reported as yet.
Ed Ramstead is fixing up the
building formerly occupied by the
Arcade Pool Hall. When completed
it will house the Alaskan shop and"
equipment.
The Estebeth stopped in port en
route south this morning.

We Expect Barrows To
Return
Contrary to the deliberate He
of the little p-p- editor down the
street, we expect the return of Will
A. Barrows as editor of the Alaska
Fisherman and The Alaskan with
full power to wield his pen as he
sees fit within the bounds of the
platform of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood.
William Paul did not state that
Barrows was fired at any time. To
quote him correctly, Paul said,
“The man who wrote the article is
no longer here.” That was a simple
statement of fact. The lie was
made when the boy down the street
assumed and presumed as a p-p
editor to put words into the mouth
of Mr. Paul where they were not
spoken nor any intent in that way.
When the editor of the receding
chin and promising forehead said
that Paul tried to creat the impres
sion that Barrows was fired, do
not blame the receding chin nor
anything else. It just could not
help itself, having nothing to say
in reply. >
Mr. Barrows was not fired. Mr.
Barrows as a courtesy to the writ
er gave time out of proportion to
his salary in work in and around
The Alaska office. His rugged
honesty and integrity is as a breath
of clear pure air after going over
the wild vaporings of the offspring
ot Balaam’s ass, down the street.

Alaska Sourdough
Arrested in South
A1 Sahlinger, who forfeited $1,000
bail when he left the territory last
fall after having been indicted by
the Grand Jury and charged with
stealing fish, was arrested in Seattle
recently. He is being held pend
ing removal proceedings.
Sahlinger was accused of selling
fish he was delivering to the Thiele
Cannery at Wrangell last fall but
at the time conviction was mighty
uncertain as no proof was offered
of his having sold or delivered any
fish between the time the trap was
lifted and the return to the can
nery. The only evidence offered
being that the fish were on the
deck of the vessel and not there
when the boat arrived at the can
nery.
The Associated Press sent out a
story from Portland the fore part
of the month to the effect that one
A1 Sahlinger was there to buy a
seaplane to carry supplies from
Wrangell to his gold mine at a
Hudson Bay Trading post 300 miles
north of Liard, Canada. It is gen
erally believed that the plane was
to be used in running liquor from
Canada to the border. A gold mine
it surely might have been.
LOTS OP SWEET STUFF
A train load of candy left Omaha
on the 12th of this month for Pa
cific Coast cities in refrigerator
cars of the Union Pacific System
The shipment consists of 2,160,000
bars of candy, weighing 360,000 lbs,

ters from Salt Lake City west.
Enough sweet stuff to sweeten
up every sour being on the entire
Pacific Coast and Petersburg. If

Baby Ruth bar, it would be Just
120 miles long. It took Just 200
I refrigerator cars to move this ship
j ment. To make the candy it took
145,000 pounds of cane sugar, 39,
000 pounds of corn syrup 34,000
pounds of milk, 98,000 pounds of
shelled peanuts and 80,000 pounds
of chocolate coating. What part
of the Baby Ruth factory have you
