‘'on for some time; so long, in fact,
that “there are no more herring in
Alaska” any more. I
To say that the reduction plants
haven’t made any inroads on the
herring in this country is the big
gest kind of flub-dub. “There are
none so blind as those who won't
see.”
The Sun says again: “The fact of
the matter is this, our herring sup
ply has not been touched yet.” God
help us then when the killers do
get around to really begin taking a
few. There are a few stragglers
left here and there, will admit, but
the long claws of the herring kill
ers have a mortgage on ’em. The
small number swimming today are
doomed just so sure as there is rain
in —Juneau.
And since we’re talking herring
we’ll give you the whole of the
Governor’s report thereon so you
may gee for yourself just how affairs
stood in 1926.
(REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF
ALASKA FOR FISCAL YEAR
ENDED JUNE SO, 1927).
“There was a decline in the pro
duction of herring in 1926, mainly
because of the failure of the fish to
materialize in the Afognak and
Prince William Sound regions. In
Southeastern Alaska the runs were
of good proportions, but the fish
were smaller in size than usual, re
sulting in the use of fewer for food
products and a corresponding in
crease in the number used in the
manufacture of meal and oil. Six
ty-one plants were operated in 1926,
having an investment of $6,808,395,
as compared with 54 in the previous
year with an investment of $6,108,
494. The number of persons em
ployed increased from 1,838 in
1925 to 2,101 in 1926. The total
vaiue of the output in 1926 was
$3,554,489., as compared against
$3,852,449 in 1925. Scotch cured
herring decreased from 33,925,975
pounds in 1925 to 15,629,230 pounds
in 19 26, and herring for bait de
creased from 7,086,840 pounds to
2,234,938, while meal or fertilizer
increased from .17,172,027 pound!
to 22,708,881 pounds, and oil fron
2,351,152 gallons to 2,965,671 gal
Ions.”
You will note that cured herring
—herring, to eat DROPPED in pro
duction more than eighteen millions
of pounds in a year.
You will note that herring foi
bait DROPPED considerably more
than four millions of pounds.
You will note that the fertilizer
folk grabbed off MORE than five
millions of pounds than they did the
year before.
Read the report carefully and see
if you can locate a single angle
that justifies a continuation of the
manure maker’s plan of things.
CAfi WE LOSE OUR TEMPER
(Taken from an exchange. By
Robt. Anderson)
This is not poetry. It is not ev
en free verse. It is just a saying
quoted by an English paper in which
no one can possibly discover British
propoganda. The saying is:
Don’t losp your temper;
Other people don’t want it.
Having as much as they can
Manage with their own.
Remember that when you lose
your temper two things happen;
First, you keep it and, in fact, get
more of it, for it increases, strange
to say, the more you lose it. Second,
somebody else loses his (or her)
temper also and finds more temper
than before he lo3t it. Queer thing.
Bui everybody knows it is true. Too
much temper is bad for anybody.
So don’t lose yours or it will cause
you all sorts of trouble.
Major Malcolm Elliot, President
of the Alaska Road Commission, is
on bis way to Washington to present
the budget for the annual appropri
ation to the commission. It is thot
that i will call for one and one-half
millions of dollars to carry out the
program outlined for the coming
year.
