DOUGLAS—Marking a new chap-1
| ter in the development of the al-!
| most boundless food resources of
the Alaskan coastal waters is the
! announcement that Seattle men are
] to erect at Snug Harbor the largest
| razor clam packing plant in the
, world. So successful have been |
other clam canning establishments1
operated by Seattle companies in
Alaska that packers have been at
tracted to the field and have sought
new beds of the delectable sea food I
| and the officers of the Surf Pack-!
i ing company, of which Alvin Hem
rich is president, believe they have
found in the Snug Harbor location, 1
directly across from Seldovia, the
largest and richest beds available, j
George Palmer, well konwn mer- i
j chant of Alaska who formerlv oper-;
! i
ated a general store at Knik, is1
associated with Hemrich in the new |
canning plant. They will also I
erect a large salmon cannery at!
Snug Harbor, it is announced. A 1
big merchandising store to supply !
! the white and native population of
the district will also be established
and by spring the packing plants
will be in full operation. President
Hemrich stated.
Elmer Hemrich, son of Alvin
Hemrich, is general manager of the
company, and before choosing the
j site on Snug Harbor thoroughly
| explored the coast, seeking quality
and quantity in clam beds. The
products of the plants will be ship
j ped to Seattle and marketed from
that city.
DESERT QUIET UPSETS
YOUNG DRAFT EVADER
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal—War
or prison are preferable to life
alone on the destert, with one’s
conscience pricking him for his in
fidelity to duty, is the philosophy
of John Bauer, who recently was
[arrested by local officers on the |
I Majava desert, several miles from
j here, on a charge of evading mili
I tary service.
j According to Bauer’s story to
' federal officers, he fled from an
Imperial Valley town seven months
ago, when companions taunted him
for his failure to assume his part
in the great war by enlisting in the
nation’s service.
Bauer fled to Cave Canyon,
known as the "bad lands’’ on the
frinffb of Death Valley and there
erected his abode. Constantly
| taunted by his conscience, he told
; officers, life was a burden for him.
|He was forced to hide himself from
I time to time from travelers.
Officers finally traced him to his
desert home and arrested him. He
says he’s happier now.

1 years ago this same Chinese came
through the Golden Gate, an em
migrant from China, as a steerage
passenger, hoping for a chance to
I secure employment as a laborer.
I Ng dim Kai is his name. Twenty
