Chilkat. Mr. Simonds says that their
plants in Alaska will not be gov

rules of the Alaska Packers’ Associa

of the pack of all the canneries who
desire the service, entitling them to
a label on each can inspected as a
guarantee of purity. Mr. Simonds
states that it was not deemed neces

no difficulty has been experienced in
disposing of its product, which is put
up carefully and according to the
most approved sanitary methods.

Walter G. Stoesser, with his mov
i
mg picture outfit, will be the me
i dium through which Cordova is to
| receive some good publicity work,
which will be nation-wide in its ef
fect. He has filmed a number of
views, in which Cordova is featured,
as well as the oil fields in this sec
tion, including the stampede to Yaka
taga beach, immediately upon the
signing of the new land leasing bill
by President Wilson; the Chilaat
Oil Company's operations, including
pumping of the oil from wells to the
tanks and then to the refinery; also
a view of -the launch Rolfe on its
return from the oil fields.
Mr. Stoesser sent the film to the
Pa the exchange at Seattle and in the
last mail received assurances from
the branch manager that it would
be used by them. He says:
“We are using your negative ir.
the local print of the Patlie News.
“After its use in Seattle, the Nega
tive will be sent to our factory, and
I think that I can assure you that
a part at least will get into our na
tional print, which means that it will
be shown in all parts of the United
States and perhaps the world.
“I assume that it is publicity you
want and on account of the writer’s
interest in Alaska that is what you,
are going to get.”
