Answering the world-wide cry of |
“More Food” Alaska's fish pack this
year has dwarfed in size and value
the records of all previous years.
“The run and puck of fish was some
thing marvelous,” said Mr. McPher
son. “It will even exceed in value the
output of copper for the year, which
will also make a remarkable record
for the season.
"One cannery In the Icy and Chat
ham straits districts packed more
than 100,000 cases, and a single-line
plant put up 03,000 cases. This is a
world’s record so far as known. Own
ers of gas boats earned from $2,000
to $5,000 for their two and one-half
months work. Ordinary fishing craft
cleared from $400 to $}500 per man
during the same period.
“Also the whale fisheries have se
cured the greatest catch ever known.
At Cordova clam canning has become
a firmly established industry and two
large herring plants are in successful
operation. Recently one of these
plants shipped a solid trainload of
spiced herring to the eastern markets.
"The high prices extend to every
branch of the fishing industry. Hali
but boats are figuratively on the run.
They stay in port only long enough to
discharge cargo and provision.
“The story of Alaska's 1917 fishing
harvest is a story of a remarkable
catches and high prices; a pack thal
will go a long way towards supplying
the allied nations with a valuable foot
product.”—Seattle Spirit.

A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he Insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Ow'ner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss ?

business lot in Cordova from us
