GfLOOMY PROSPECTS
Fish traps and our salmon fishing
laws are shackles around the necks
, of our flsherfnen. Destructive con
trivances—and the laws that up
hold them—may all be very well for
our tourist capitalists, but for those
who live here and try to build up a
home out of what the sea has to of

over.

Both refine Union Oil products. The one was an experiment
of fearless oil pioneers—the other, which now turns out Union
Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil—is the result of research and
development covering four decades.
VOU say that you can’t tell the
difference in gasoline—that
is, that the difference is so slight
that it is hard to distinguish it.
But there is a difference in good
gasolines. And there is a way in
which you can judge the fuel you
give your motor.
You can find out how long and
how well it has stood the test of
the years.
Time has a habit of weeding
out all the unprogressive, ineffi
cient things which cannot “make
the grade.”
An article has to be good to

And this is true of non-deto

When you buy Union Oil
products you get
confidence from
the knowledge that
Union has been re
fining since the first
refineries on the
Coast turned out gas
oline for the first
crude automobiles
over twenty-five
yfcars ago.
Even before that, when the few
struggling California plants were
not making gasoline Union Oil
Company were refiners of kero*
sene and naptha, the popular
commodities of pre-auto days.
The first refinery in the West
was a crude litde one still affair
built by the Hardison and Stewart
Company (which a few years
later became Union Oil Com*
pany) at Santa Paula in 1887.
' Almost forty years ago—and
now there are seven huge Union
Oil refineries. In each of them
scientists and chemists are ever at
work with painstaking care test
ing each step in the process of
refining.
These four decades of research

WHO’S FOR ALASKA?
A commercial institution, such as ♦]
Chmer’s shrimp cannery,is of more •]
genuine worth to Petersburg than «5
a number of Petersburg salmon
packing concerns. Ohmer and his
employees make there money here
and they pass it on here. The
shrimp fleet is outfitted here, com
missioned here and is kept in repair
here. Practically the whole payroll
is Alaskan, and it would surprise
some people to know, really, what a
goodly stream of dollars come in
through the doors of the shrimp
cannery and eventually drift here
and there around town. It’s quite
a steady flow, too. The crabbing in
dustry is a home builder. But the
average cannery?? Well, it takes
all that it can—and that’s a lot—
and it gives as little as it may in re
turn—and that’s very, little. Sal
mon canneries, to Alaska, are the
same as burglars in your house.
They come with no blare of trum
pet; they come easy; they come
alert with fingers hooked for loot.
They come equipped; they come
with helpers and the tools of their
craft. Speedily they pry open the
lid of your treasure chest. Before
rbe sun’s glow tints the eastern sky
they’re gone. What you have left
of their excursion and activities are
what'they couldn’t carry off with
them—the broken chest, the dead
watch dog and the house and lot.
They figure that in another year
you’ll have something more for
them and they’ll come back. As they
pass out of the gate they fix it up
it up with the policeman for their
next visit. We don’t know what the
salmon canneries of Alaska made
tfc money in 1926, but their SEAT
TLE payroll runs to more than two
and one-half million dollars to
SEATTLE1 help. The pay roll of
the salmon packers and herring kill
ers to Alaskans is wofully small.
Big business has exploited us till it
hurts and it is high time for Alaska
to have something more to show
for all this extracted wealth and
wealth extracting than trap control
led waterways and temporary, red
pamted shells of buildings. Remem
ber, too, that those who are trying
to wedge into office on the indepen
dent (?) ticket are for this ruthless
grab by outside grabbers. Alaskans,
vote for your Territory and your
own welfare!
Men interested in the packing of
* salmon declare that the pack this
year on the Fraser River is the big
gest pack since 1917. Before the
end of September the pack this year
(totaled 54,184 cases which is ap
proximately 20,000 more than the
pack on the same date last year.
Fishing on the Fraser River is
limited to gillnets. The season on
| the American side indicates a poor
I season.
There are no traps in Canada ex
cept in that section which is front
ed by American traps. The fisher
men have greater earning power,
greater spending power and there is
not the loss of population through
mismanagement of their fisheries as
is evidenced in Alaska through tools
of the canning industry.
