ALASKANS WILL WORK FOR
LOCAL CANNERY
The Canoe Pass Packing Company,
with headquarters In Portland, Ore
gon, nnd operating canneries at Ca
noe Pass, Southeastern Alaska, and
at Cordova, will employ Alaska fish
ermen In future if the help can be
obtained.
Superintendent P. W. Lee, of the
Cordova cannery, has written John
Emil, of Valdez, to ascertain the num
ber of fishermen In Valdex district
who could be depended upon to fur
nish fish to the cannery during the
coming season. In his letter to Mr.
Emil the superintendent Matos that
the company has decided to employ
Alaskans in preference to bringing
fishermen from the States, but says
that It will probably be necessary to
bring inside cannery employes to
Alaska.
Mr. Emil was with the Canoe Pass
Packing Company during the past
season and reports that fishermen
owning their own boats were enabled
to make from $1000 to $1500 during
the season. The profits realized by
the fishermen depends largely upon
the run of salmon, which varies each
yenr. Last year the run of salmon
on the Copper River flats was not up
to usual numbers, but the company
secured a satisfactory pack.
The Canoe Pass Packing Company’s
Cordova cannery is located in the
Jack Dalton sawmill building, at the
outer wharf.—Valdez Prospector.

gret for the partition of Panama, and
