PIONEER PLANT
EMPLOYSOVER
TWO HUNDRED
The improvements at the Pioneer
Packing company’s plant are about
completed, and it is now one of the
largest and most up-to-date clam in
dustries in the world. There has also
been installed a two line salmon can
nery, and employment will be given
to a crew of over 250 men and women,
practically all of the help being local.
The main cannery has been en
larged and is now 300 feet long. The
new buildings include a fish house 40
by 60 feet, two stories high, with a
concrete floor where the fish are
handled and a web house overhead.
The boarding house is 24 by 100 feet,
two stories. The commissary, off ice
and mess house occupy the ground
floor with sleeping rooms upstairs.
The warehouse is 210 feet long. An
Oriental building, 24 by 60 feet, two
stories, has been erected for the ex
clusive use of this help. The new oil
dock is 40 by 60 feet and is located
about one hundred feet from the other
buildings.
Ten power boats are in commission
and a piledriver crew is driving fish
ing traps in different parts of the bay.
At present the clam plant is in full
operation and the canning of salmon
will begin just as soon as the season
opens.

PRIVATES SAVE MONEY
OFFICERS BLOW THEIRS
WINNIPEG, Man., April 19 (by As
sociated Press).—Canadian privates
are returning from Europe with con
siderable money, while many officers
are reaching their homes practically
penniless, according to provincial of
ficials.
Most of the soldiers had approxi
mately $500 to their credit when they
left England,,, only a portion of the
amount being given to them before
embarkation. The privates spent most
of their leisure at recreation camps
where little money is needed.
Officers, on the other hand, fol
lowed their inclination to "live” and
with British and Americans officers
helped fill the London hotels, accord
ing to returned officers. They say
that fraternizing with American offi
cers proved rather costly as Ameri
cans received higher pay and spent it
freely.
“Thousands of Canadian privates
will return with far more money than
they possessed when they enlisted,”
one officer said.

On her last voyage to Alaska the
reighter Redondo left Seattle with
i tent for a pilot house. The reason
or it is that while the boat was in
Irydock with her pilot house torn off
or repairs the shipyard strike oc
curred. When the strike was over the
tards were too busy to put a new
louse on for some time and the
iwners decided not to wait but to
lend her north with a load of can
lery supplies and have the house
milt when she returned.
