ALASKA'S YOUTH WRITES
ABOUT SALMON INDUSTRY
Entries in the recent Alaska Salmon Institute Essay Contest show that young Alaskans
have a keen insight into the Territory's most important industry. Student essays in both
the Elementary and High School divisions highlighted the importance of the salmci
industry to Alaska's economic development. Reprinted below, as examples of student
opinions, are excerpts from four of the winning essays in the $1,200 contest.

Host Valuable Industry
“The most valuable industry
of Alaska is the Alaska salmon
industry! To understand this
broad statement, one must ex
amine the facts carefully.
"From the time that an Alaska salmon closes its
mouth on a hook or is caught in a net, to the time
hat that fish is served on a dinner plate, more people
have enriched themselves from it than one would be
lieve possible.
"Yes, the Alaska salmon industry provides em
ployment for more people and brings more revenue
to the territory than any other. It is indeed our most
valuable industry.”

Salmon Brings Prosperity
“It was about ninety years
ago that the salmon canning
industry started near Sacra
mento, California. At first it
was all done by hand. In Alaska
liie industry started in 1878 at Klavvock, which lies in
southeastern Alaska. At present the industries have
more than a hundred canneries which employ some
38,000 people. Today the work is done by machines
which do away with the long, laborious hand methods
of yesterday.
“Each year millions of dollars worth of salmon are
sold which are caught off Alaskan shores. The indus
try here has paid the cost many times over which the
Territory cost our government, and has been one of
the main reasons why Alaska has prospered.”
JAMES LEVEQUE

Beneficial To Alaska
“The salmon Industry has
become the largest In the ter
ritory and one of the most
beneficial to Alaska and to
Alaskans. It has provided Jobs
for numerous Alaskan natives and fishermen; it fills
a big percentage of the territorial tax coffers and
has established the University of Washington Fisheries
Research Institute.
“Studies are made by the Research Institute of
the mysterious life cycle of the salmon; research for
better methods of canning and preserving the fish
is constantly carried on; uses for the waste products
are created and utilized by the organization.
“The Research Institute, established by the many
canning companies along the coast and within the
waters of Alaska, is dedicated to the preservation of
the great salmon runs and of the many benefits de
rived by the people of Alaska from the industry . .
GUY BARBER

Salmon Industry Important
“The year 1879 marks the
beginning of the Alaska sal
mon industry. The first Alas
kan cannery was built In that
year and was a very crude
affair. Since that time the industry has been grad
ually developed to its present importance as the
great single revenue producer in the Territory. The
commercial value of the salmon fishing industry
greatly exceeds the amount of gold mined in the
Territory or the value of the fur trade which was
exploited by the Russians.”
