TIN SCARCITY
IS PREDICTED
FOR PACKERS
--
SEATTLE, June 2.—(Special Cor
respondence).—A Washington special
asserts that a can famine is threat
ened to coast and fisheries packers,
0 owing to a shortage of tin. The Amer
ican Tin Company’s representative
gives out the information that the na
tion’s supply of cans is virtually ex
Ahausted. The company states that at
the present time it is almost impos
sible to secure transportation in ap
preciable volume either for tin plate
or cans.
“Most of the western salmon pack
ers make their own cans, and have
enough plate on hand to run this sea
son,” said an official of the company
today, “but doubtless some canneries
will be unable to operate. The fruit
and vegetable packers are in much
worse shape. Unless some fortuitous
condition which cannot now be antic
ipated should develop, provision will
have to be made for placing large
quantities of food in cold storage un
til the railroad facilities catch up with
the requirements of the industry.”

permitting part of the $7,000,000 for
work on the Alaska railroad to be
used to build a coal washing plant
*in the Mantanuska field was cut out.
This means that the plant will have
to be built out of the million dollars
provided in the naval appropriation
bill. Another amendment permits the
export of birch timber from Alaska.
Advices received here by General
Passenger Agent Burnside, of the
White Pass & Yunkon Railway, indi
cate that the Yukon river will not be
open for navigation until June 12, as
late thawing of ice and extremely low
water are serious obstacles to navi
gation. Water is the lowest known
for twenty-five years.
Federal officials seized 2,096 cases
or 100,608 pounds of salmon at Bell
ingham, on information from the U. S.
district, attorney that the fish was
unfit for food. The ship was from
the Alaska Packing Company at Port
Walter, bought last October. The
labels on the cans read “Peteo
*Brand.”
Captain Douglas, of the army aero
nautical service, is in New York com
pleting arrangements for a flight from
Minneola, N. Y., to Nome,. Alaska.
Four planes will be utilized. The dis
tance will be approximately 6,000
miles.
Fish trap pirates have begun oper
ations in Alaskan waters. Near the
end of the month one of the piratical
launches slipped up to trap No. 3
of the Harris plant in Hawk inlet at
1:30 o’clock in the morning, with two
men aboard, both armed with rifles.
They hold up the watchman, stole all
the salmon impounded in the trap
and then fled in their launch. Several
other raids have followed.
The motorship Ozmo sailed for
Bethel and the Kuskokwum river with
,o^full cargo of mining machinery and
supplies and a full passenger list.
Among the shippers are the Tuluksak
Mining Company, the Alaska Fidelity
Mining Company, and the Union Con
struction Company, w?hich is develop

‘BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY'
MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
STARTED IN ALASKA
Mrs. F. A. Metcalf, librarian of the
public library at Juneau has under
taken the direction of the “Books for
Everbody” movement in Alaska for
the American Library Association.
This movement is a nation-wide en
deavor to promote the extension of
library service so that the millions of
people in the United States and its
possessions may have the opportun
ity for obtaining reading matter which
is not now within their reach. It is
also designed to promote the habit of
reading and universal self-education
through books and libraries and create
a public sentiment that will insure
adequate support for all existing
libraries and cause others to be es
tablished where they do not now
exist.
This enlarged program is a direct
outgrowth of the war-time service of
the American Library Association
which circulated more than 7,000,000
books among the men of the United
States forces at home, and on the
sea. The peace time project will pro
mote extension of book service.
To carry out the provisions of the
project, a fund of $2,000,000 is being
raised by librarians, library trustees,
and friends of Libraries without re
course to the usual intensive cam
paign.
The steamer Admiral Goodrich of.
the Admiral Line fleet engaged by
the Alaska Engineering Commission
for a trip to Anchorage with supplies

about 100 men going north to spend
the summer on the railroad construc
tion job.
