HAINES TO HAVE A .NEW SHRILP CANNERY.
There is great rejoicing at Haines, the little village nestling
in Us si on Cove on Lynn Canal, and tlm. happiest of the whole crowd,
is Dr.L.Pryer, the druggist and president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Eor three years Dr.Pryer has been preaching and talking Shrimp,
Shrimp, and nothing but Shrimp, in Lynn Canal. So loud and persist
ent was he in his talk, that it was heard way down at Petersburg
200 miles distant by Lr. Earl N.Ohmer, President of the Alaskan Gla
cier Sea Food Company, who immediately and forthwith sent two fish
ing boats here to investigate and prospect. The results of the
investigation were very flattering and it is expected that operations
will begin here about Lay 15th. ,when a scow is scheduled to arrive
here with cannery equipment aboard.
There was an enthusiastic Lass Leeting of the citizens of Haines
Tuesday night, and approximately $500.00 was subscribed to assist
this new industry. Work will begin immediately on five dolphins to
be driven down just off the Haines Dock to afford a place where the
floating cannery will be landed and tied up.
.Lhe canning will take place on the scow and the finished prod
uct wiH be shipped South aboard steamers calling at this port.
,, About 75 pickers will be needed. This will give employment to
*e of Klukwan and around Haines, who are very much in need
or work, especially since Vogel’s cannery is not operating at pres
HAIMS ITEMS.
, ^us Klaney, the well-known hunter and guide, is quite ill at
Xlukwan. *
A new Mash automobile arrived on the Queen for Mr.Tim Vogel.
Paddy Goenet came into town Wednesday from Chilkoot Lake with a
