ALASKA NEEDS SHIPYARD

■ It is the earnest desire and inten
tion of tiie fisheries service to extend
what is known as the fisheries intelli
genee service so as to make it more
useful to all the fishermen of Alaska.
At present this intelligence service
comprises market quotations on cer
tain fishes at Seattle, which quotations
are daily wired to Ketchikan, from
which point there is a daily tele
graphic market report to Juneau,
Wrangell. Petersburg. Skagway, Cor
dova. Valdez. Seward and Sitka. This
service was instituted in response to
a memorial of the Alaska legislature,
and is maintained without expense to
the territory
"The ri h aquatic resources of
Alaska hav»* not heretofore received
the attention they deserve. One or
n* o fisheries of great Importance have
overshadowed others Yet these more
or less neglected fishes are valuable
food products ;itii| are the very ones
which have made other countries pros
perous. Particular stress is now being
laid, as yen know, by the bureau of
fisheries on the salting oi herring
after th** s< >?ch method* and the cur
ing o. atk !, ,}i and others Then*
can he no d ■ ibt that with proper pub
licity and .:i -mu tion the Alaska her
ring indu-*rv «.n be made to rival
that o! A and Scotland, and
this department is definitely commit
led to the task of bringing this to
pass. We have undertaken a cam
paign to introduce into wider popular
use tin* valuable food fishes of Alaska
hitherto largely neglected. We regard
it as certain that there will come in
time to be an economic importance to
these almost unused fish foods which
will greatly contribute to the wealth
of Alaska
’ 1 omcnient with the resumption of
commercial sealing on the Pribilof
islands, th depirtment for the first
time in tin history of those islands
is making use of the by-products of
the sealing industry. \ reduction
' plant ha- been sent to the Islands
and then will henceforth be a large
and valuable output of oil and ferti
lizer. These are both in great de
mand and will never again be utterly
wasted ns in the past. A number of
Alaskans have been taken to the seal
islands for temporary employment
during the height of the present sea
son.
In my recent visit to the Pacific
Northwest it was more than once sug
gested as a hope that the coast of
Alaska might be dotted with fishing
village.-, each put suing a prosperous
local industry and each contributing
tn fh<* nation's food supply and wealth,
li is our earnest hope that this may
come to pass, and the department of
commerce will willfugh lend its ei
forts to ! ring this about.
The department realizes, however.
