ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. FRIDAY AUGUST 11, 191G.
THE TIMES MISQUOTES CHAIRMAN EDES.
When the Times makes an inexcusable blunder in misquot
ing any person in an interview, it is very frank to admit the
error and offer apologies for the injustice committed. In an in
terview with Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, published in Wednesday - issue ot The 1 imes, a gloss
perversion of words by our reporter does the chairman a grave
injustice, in that he made no such statement as that attributed
to him.
We quote that part of the interview wherein our reporter
drew entirely on his vivid imagination, and imposed the result
on this publication:
“The entire ‘brains’ of Seward would have about as much
weight in Washington as he would in heaven."
Chairman Edes made no such statement. Tt is absurd on
its face to suppose that he would make such a remark. The
members of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce, of
which the publisher of The Times was one, who were present
know that no such statement was made by the chairman. The
town of Seward was not mentioned in the interview.
r POSSIBILITIES IN FISHERIES
When one stops to consider the matter, what possibilities
there are in the fishing industry in this great body of water
known as Cook Inlet! According to the experts of the fisher
ies department of the government, salmon, for which there is
a larger demand than any other variety of fish, travel yearly
in regular routes, and make Cook inlet in their journey along
the coast of Alaska. The half dozen canneries located at vari
ous points on the inlet are doing a very profitable business, and
there is room for more.
There is also room tor saltery establishments at conveni
ent points on the inlet. It does not require a vast amount of
money to engage in this kind of industry and the profits de
rived should l>e quite -ubstantial. We believe the last quota
tions from Seattle are to the effect that salt salmon is worth
per barrel and that there is a big demand.
The Cook inlet waters abouhd in herring and eulachon.
sometimes called caudle fish. Now these little fish are de
licious, when properly put up, and the market for such prod
ucts should be almost unlimited.
Before the world war began, Germany was the market for
practically all the salmon packed in Alaska. That market
closed, the packers sought other markets, with the result that
the central states of the union were found to be ready pnrchas
ers of the canned salmon.
It is well known that the Scandinavian people know more
about putting up fish than any other nationality. The United
States has been an enormous customer of the Scandinavian
countries, because of the excellence of the treatment, curing or
canning, of the fish products of that country. And yet, the
same varieties of fish are native to Alaska. By importing some
of these skilled Scandinavians, it occurs to us that it would be
entirely feasible to put up the same kind of products as those
produced by the Scandinavian countries, and thus gain the
larger profits that will naturally follow the production of a su
perior article of food.
A WINNING CANDIDATE.
(Pittsburgh Gazette Times)
Charles Hughes, the choice of the republican party for
president by almost unanimous vote of the convention, is a can
didate behind whom all republicans can rally with assurance
that he will be elected and give the country an administration
at Washington restoring our nation to the position to which
it is entitled in the world at large and assuring preparedness,
protection and permanent prosperity at home.
Col. Roosevelt having declined to insist upon his name be
ing considered by the republican convention and his second
choice having been rejected by the progressives, the sentiment
of the republican delegation, crystallizd upon Justice Hughes,
swept all before it. The principal favorite son candidates hav
ing withdrawn from the race there are no sores to heal. The re
publicans are reunited on a ticket to inspire enthusiasm and
victory. There is no reason why the progressives and all inde
pendents should not join in support of Justice Hughes and
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana, the party’s nominee for
rice-president.
