WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
-o
nents of this market closing
legislation that the business in
terests of Juneau, Petersburg
and Wrangell are favorable to
the measure but do not want to
offend the fishermen upon
whom they depend for store
patronage by open support of
the Ketchrikan proposal. It is
| claimed that the closing of the
i Canadian market would inure
I to the benefit of all cold storage
nents on the Alaska coast.
Sutherland says that the whole
proposition is for the benefit of
a very few cold storage plant in
vestors but decidedly injurious
to the halibut boat investment
and the human investment of
about 2500 men and their fam
ines who depend on the halibut
fishery for a livlihood. .
Carpenters are now busy all
"’mg the line of march for the
in aeration, placing stands
from which the parade may be
witnessed. It costs seven dol
lars and fiftv cents for a seat
near the White House or Treas
ury Building and from there the
price is graduated to about two
dollars at the Peace Monument
near the capitol..
Mr. Harry Donnelly member
elect to the Alaska Legislature
from Iditarod passed through
Washington this wee k. His
mothe- died recent j in Phila
delphia.
It is claimed by the propo
for discussion. It is in the free
list that the people who favo [
closing Prince Rupert hope t(
place their provision agains
shipment of fish in bond unles. ,
it is prepared for shipment at
an American port. The annual
convention of American Sea
mens Union will be held here in
Washington next week and it
is expected that resolutions will
be passed against the closing of
Prince Rupert. There are dele
gates from the fishermen’s
unions of the Pacific Coast and
one delegate from the Deep Sea
Fishermen’s Union who is al
ready here in Washington work
ing in the interest of the North
Pacific Halibut Fishermen. His
name is Axel G. Moen. Andrew
Fureseth, head of the Seamen’s
Union is showing interest in the
Prince Rupert question and it
is probable that when the time
for action comes he will exert
his influence to aid Sutherland
in his fight.
Mr. Victor Elfendahl and Dr.
Clark of Seattle representing
the Pacific Canners’ Association
before the Ways and Means
Committee in the interest of
an increase in the duty on can
ned salmon from 25 per cent to

week.
Mr. J. C. Barber ,of Ketchi
kan, is still here.
Mr. Sutherland has asked the
Secretary of the Interior to ad
mit Alaskan Native tubercular
patients to the Cushman hos
pital at Tacoma until provision
can be made for their care in
Alaska. This hospital has been
under control of the Veterans
Bureau but with the completion
of their new hospital they will
turn the Cushman hospital ov
er to the Indian Affairs Bureau.
It is said to be a well-equipped
institution. An appeal for ad
mittance of Alaska people came

MORE ON DISCRIMINATION
rnerce, says: “Hoover, a ration
al conservationist, was not un
mindful on his journey to the
Northland of the decaying
growth of timber in need of
harvesting, lining the shores of
Alaska all the way from Dixon’s j
Entrance to Ressureetion Bay in |
he forest reserves comprising!
■ hirty millions of acres. All in j
the rain belt, and unhampered |
by fire, there had at that time
hardly been a dent in these co
lossal stands of spruce, hem
locks and cedar. The obvious
inquiry was why Alaska, thru
this timber, was not supplying
in large part the wood pulp and
print paper demands of the
country. Manufacturers were
investing huge capital in Cana
da, but were looking askance at
Alaska because the regulations
of the Forest Service were re
garded as too stringent. Since
then the service has succeded in
interesting capital and there is
today a prospect that at least
one big pulp and paper plant
will be established and in oper
ation within a few years.”—The
Timberman.
A request for information
concerning the whereabouts of
Ocho Erickson has been receiv
ed at the Governor’s Office. He
is about 6 feet tall, weighs
about 198 lbs., age 57 years, is
crippled and wears one shoe
higher than the other. Was last
heard from in Alaska in 1927.
