WRANGELL

A cantata, “Lord of Life,” was
sung in the Presbyterian Church
Easter Sunday by a choir com
posed of a large group of people
representing various denomina
tions here, under direction of
Miss Valborg Brunsvold. It was
well executed and enjoyed.
The dance put on by the
Shrimp Pickers for the benefit
of the hospital netted $105.
The City Dads have pushed
the clock ahead and we now
carry Seattle time. Early to bed,
early to rise, makes a man
healthy, wealthy and otherwise.
Rev. H. P. Corser, that grand
old preacher of Wrangell is
slowly recovering from hurts
received last winter. He is still
in the hospital and unable to
continue his duties as rector of
the Episcopal Church.
City Light is demonstrating
that the reason private owner
ship fights dty ownership so
hard is because of the profit in
that utility. Report of the plant
shows a neat profit from the
diesel plant. The next thing is
to get sufficient power to carry
the load, sell more power and
juice, sell more heaters, get the
public to use more juice so that
the plant will return more pro
fit and at the same time reduce
the costs.

DORE SAYS HERB
HOOVER MENACE
-x
Mayor-elect Dore, Seattle,
hauled off and took a sock at
President Hoover, recently de
claring that there could be no
j national or economic improve
ment so long as Hoover remains
in the White House.
“President Hoover is a great
er menace to the United States
than the king of France was be
fore the French Revolution,”
Dore declared. “He is devoid of
vision. If lie lias understanding,
then he is callous to the suffer-1
ing of the people. He guarantees i
the right of every citizen to
starve to death without inter- j
ference by the federal govern-j
ment.”

PAPER LOSSES
-x
While Alaska Pacific Salmon j
Corporation’s report for 1931 1
shows a loss of $438,761, only
$148,072 was cash loss, the re
mainder being depreciation
charge and loss on sale of capi
tal assets, according to the fin
ancial statement issued by G. W.
Skinner, president. Cost of pro
ducing canned salmon had been
reduced to a minimum but the
large surplus of canned salmon
and forced liquidation made it
impossible to avert losses. In
ventory at the year-end showed
$1,787,075, as cost or market;
operating supplies $699,362; ac
counts and notes receivable, less
reserves, $222,063. Current as
sets were $2,720,255 against $1,
950,507 of current liabilities.
Skinner said that at current
prices, canned salmon is the
most economical food money
can buy. The company’s princi
pal brands of canned salmon
are Icy Point and Peter Pan.
It is reported that the com
pany will operate all its plants
this year.
