ABOUT ALASKA
FROM SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Aug. 31 (Special to the
Daily Times).—Current events of in
terest in Alaska, as received and rec
orded in the last week by the Bureau
of the chamber of commerce show' a
general trend toward development in
industrial, mining and fishing lines.
The following is a resume: Good out
look for a railroad to tap the Katalla
coal fields; five-stamp mill starts
operation on Lynn canal; large sum
of red salmon in Aleutian Island dis
trict; seal islands census shows 10
per cent increase in fur seals; six
hundred prospectors working in hills
back of Hyder; exhibition of Yukon
products on Discovery Day, August
17; Cordova fishermen protect stream
fishing in the Copper river.
A Washington special says: “In a
statement issued Secretary Daniels
said: Purchase of extensive additional
equipment to facilitate the w'ork of de
veloping the navy’s coal lands in Alas
ka has been authorized at the request
of Commander Dowling, wrho is at
the Chickaloon field as head of the
Alaskan coal commission. Commander
Dowiing has requested that the de
partment furnish him a geologist and
twenty-five miners to augment his
working force and also to purchase
and forwmrd one steam-driven air
compressor and two tubular boilers
with feed pumps and accessories. The
request has been approved.”
A Washington special says recom
mendations for the development of
Alaska will he a feature of the an
nual report of Secretary of the In
terior Payne and which are expected
to form the basis of the secretary’s
suggestions to congress in his forth
coming annual report, include the
lowering of ocean freight and pas
senger rate, and the improvement of
transportation and mail service. the
concentration and co-ordination oi
federal road construction, an investi
gation of commercial feasibility of
smelting Alaskan copper ores in the
territory, and the immediate develop
ment of Alaskan pulp wood industry.
Additional appropriations will be
sought for the completion of the
Alaskan railroad.
Seven field parties have been dis
patched by the Geological survey to
Alaska for investigation of its min
eral resources; the work is being
done under an appropriation of $75,
000 by congress. The purpose is to
extend the surveys and investigations
which were begun in 1898.
Within the last ten years the for
est service has brought about the sale
of 420,000,000 feet of timber in the
national forests of Alaska, for pil
ing, sawlogs, and shingle bolts. These
forests contain 100,000,000 cords oi
timber suitable for the manufacture
of paper, according to estimates by
the service. Under careful manage
ment production can reach 2,00,00C
cords of pulp products now consumed
in the United States.
Alaska’s total population for 1920;
unofficial estimates made by W. T
Lopp, chief of the Alaska division ol
the federal bureau of education,
showed, will not exceed 57,000 whites
and natives. Of this total it is thought
the final figures, which may be com
piled within the next two weeks, will
show between 30,000 and 35,000
whites, the rest being natives. Offi
cial census figures for the last re
maining towns of importance in the
territory were announced by Mr. Lopp.
They were: Fairbanks, 1,158; Nenana,
820; Tanana, 212; Fort Yukon, 319;
Nulato, 258. Fairbanks shows a big
loss in population as compared with
the 1910 census of 3,541. Nenana, a
new town developed as a result ol
the government railroad construction
did not exist in 1910. Tanana also
lost slightlyT its 1910 count being 398.
Fort Yukon had 321 in 1910, a loss
of two persons in ten years.
The Alaskan bureau of the chamber
of commerce has advices that J. F
«*•
Laverne has developed a new indus
try for Alaska, by forming a company
which has opened a plant at Edmunds,
offering a market to the Alaska and 4,
British Columbia fishermen for
sharks, and shipments reaching the
plant already indicate that although
Laverne will have many shark skins
that he will be unable to meet the
needs of a great eastern manufactur
ing concern which has agreed to take
his entire output for use in novelty
leather suitcases and traveling bag
manufacture. The leather sells for
$2.80 a square foot.
The first offerings at the plant were
mud sharks, hair seal skins, and be
luga whale hides. The mud shark
nets the fisherman from $3.50 to
$10.00 and one shipment of 18,000
hair seal skins is to arrive at the
plant this week.
Another new industry for that sec
tion is the preparation of reindeer
hides from the Seward peninsula for
eastern manufacture into gloves and
ladies’ suede shoes, and the plant is
planning to handle thousands of these
hides as soon as the Seward penin
sula herd owners start butchering
their stock, the carcasess of which is
frozen for consumption in the states.
Establishment of a radio plant in
Seattle for the handling of marine
business will be undertaken by the
Radio Corporation of America, as soon
as preliminary arrangements, includ
ing selection of a site, can be ar
ranged. I
LINEMAN LIVES THRU
HEAVY VOLTAGE SHOCK
LANCASTER, Pa., Aug. 31. —Al
though twenty-two hundred volts of
electricity passed through his body
Jay Berkley, a lineman in the employ
of the Strasburg Electric Company, is
expected to recover from his injuries.
He was working on a pole in Stras
burg borough when he brushed up
against a live wire. The shock ren
dered him unconscious and the cur
rent badly seared his arm. His safe
ty belt saved him from plunging to
the ground, but several minutes
elapsed, during which the current
poured through his body, before fel
low workmen could telephone to the
company plant to have the power cut
off.
