SEATTLE
SEATTLE. June 30.—(Special to the
Times).—Shipments oE this season’s
salmon pack in Southeastern Alaska
are arriving on every boat from
Southeastern Alaska. The annual
t
run of fish in the Alaskan pan handle
is reaching large proportions and a
considerable movement of the fish
product to outside market through the
port of Seattle is under way. The
canneries at Cordova were the first
to get this season’s pack to Seattle.
To the liner Victoria goes the honor
of being the first ship to land pas
sengers at Nome in 1920. Each year
this liner and the coast guard cutter
Bear are rivals for the honor of reach
ing Nome first. The Victoria left
Seattle June 4 and made the run to
Nome in nine days which was within
one day of the vessel’s summer sche
dule. She carried 500 passengers and
1800 tons of fresh provisions for
Nome and St. Michael. When in
sight of Nome the Victoria had to
fight her way through great ice bar
riers.
Cannery men have for several years
been advocating an inspecting and
granding system to prevent offerings
of doubtful food value being placed
on the market. Skilled inspectors
under the National Canners’ Associa
tion are now being trained at an
eastern laboratory for next season.
Consolidation of steamship lines to
Alaska advocated by the interior de
partment will not be opposed by the
Alaskan Steamship Company and the
Pacific steamship Company, the only
two services being maintained out of
this port catering to passenger trade
on any large scale.
Road-making machinery has been
sent north by the U. S bureau of
roads for making new trails and im
proving and maintaining established
highways.
Nearly four hundred skins have
been harvested this year by Indian
seal hunters in ocean waters off the
shores of Washington. Indians are
accorded the same rights in seal hunt
ing as they enjoyed during their pri
mal days. This law provides that
they shall use an open boat, propelled
by oar, with a spear or arrow as a
weapon, firearms being prohibited.
The skins are sold to fur buyers who
visit the reservations after the seal
ing season. Last year about thirty
five skins were taken.
Many Alaskans who left the terri
tory during the war are returning
and with the large number of tour
ist, travel to Alaska is heavier than
ever before.
Twenty carloads of structural steel
for the 504-foot span of the railway
bridge over the Susitna river left
Gary, Indiana on June 17, and will
be shipped from Seattle at an early
date. The shipment weighs 1700
tons.
The Alaska Adivsory Commission
appointed by Secretary Payne in its
report asserts that without drastic
protective measures the fisheries of
Alaska, the most important industry
of the territory, will soon face utter
depletion, but given proper safeguards
against overfishing the salmon fishing
resources of the North can be made
to yield a large and continuous an
nual return.
While it linked fishing, mining, furs,
timber and other resources together
in discussing the great development
era that is certain to come to Alaska,
the commission emphasized that the
territory cannot prosper unless proper
transportation facilities be provided
and agreeable freight rates put into
effect.
Alaskan mining operators, prospect
ers, cannerymen, business men and
laborers are swarming back to the
North in increasing numbers, it is
shown by the passenger bookings of
the Alaska Steamship Company for
the next six weeks. The bookings are
extremely heavy up to the end of July,
the bulk of the movement being pro
vided by Northerners in a hurry to
get back to their old stamping
grounds. The rest of the movement is
represented by tourists.

OF DOINGS AT
NEARBY CAMP
(From McCarthy News
Everyone is well pleased at the
prospect of a finished road over Sour
dough Hill to the Nizina river. Gus
Johnson will be in charge of the work,
which will be accomplished as soon
as possible.
Deputy Marshal Cavanaugh dug up
another cache of booze somewhere in
the vicinity of the ball park this week.
Nobody knows the name of the own
er, but we heard it was such “bad
medicine” they gave it a decent burial
to get rid of it
J. A. Fagerburg will arrive next
week with a car load of horses for _
local buyers.
Jim Morres came down from Kenne
cott this week and will spend the rest
of the summer on Dan Creek with Bill
Meyers doing assessment work on
their property. They will leave right
after the Fourth.
Bill Lang is in town this week. He
is leaving tomorrow for Nizina river,
where from now on he will conduct the
ferry, making regular trips daily un
til the freeze up.
Muries pack-train left for the creeks
this morning ith passengers, mail and
freight.
Bill Weyers has arrived from Con
yon City, where he spent the winter
hunting and trapping.
Mr. and Mrs. John Amber, our for
mer townsfolk, are now located at
Iowa Park, Texas and conducting a
soft drink parlor and rooming house,
Ira B. Hurd, a former McCarthy
merchant is also in Texas where he
was interested in oil properties, all
big money makers. He is now invest
ing in an airplane factory.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Rowe, who spent j
several years in this section of the £
country, and left here about eighteen v
months ago, are now in California £
where they intend to invest in a fruit £
ranch- Mrs. Rowe made a trip to £
Scotland last summer and also visit- £
ed the battlefields of Europe and her :■
brother’s grave on the Somme, where £
he was killed in action, a lieutenant £
in the Canadian artillery. £
Word has been received here of the £
death in Seattle of Alfred Forsberg, £
an old resident of McCarthy and an £
employe of the railroad with the sec^ £
tion crew. The deceased left here in •:
poor health two months ago hoping £
to benefit by the trip. He leaves an £
estate valued at eight thousand dol- £
lars. £
The census returns show McCarthy £
with a population of 127 and Chitina £
wiih 163. This is a surprise and a £
pleasant one but our population is £
increasing rapidly, so maybe some £
day, Chitina, it will be the other way. £
565 is the census return for Kenne- £
cott, at the same time we venture to £
•*<
say that McCarthy will poll as many £
votes on next election day. £
