YUKON CANNERY
OBEYS LAW BUI
DOESNOT STOP
The Carlisle cannery at the month
of the Yukon river, the operations
of which during the present season
threaten actual suffering among the
natives of Interior Alaska during
the coming winter, is still taking
salmon, notwithstanding the assur
ance, recently received from the
Governor's office, that fishing would
stop at the end of August. Recent
arrivals from the lower river are
authority for the statement that
the outfit has no intention of stop
ping until about the middle of Sep
tember, after which date there is
some uncertainty about making ship
ments of the canned product to the
States. The cannery is now en
gaged in putting up Yukons and
Silver salmon and, while the run
of these fish is not heavy, it is con
sidered sufficient to warrant the
continued operation of the plant.
Arrivals in Xenana say there is
some sort of a regulation prohib
iting the taking of fish in the
“river” after a certain date, and
defining the terms “river” and
“sea.” The regulation, apparently,
has not interfered seriously with
the operation of the cannery, since
it is still doing business at the old
location at the mouth of Qwiguk
slough.
Up to a week or so ago, the
cannery had put up about 55,000
cases of fish, about half of the
number being king salmon. The
fish being taken now will be shipped
out on a boat scheduled to sail for
the south on September 28th, and
when the cannery is closed next
week, the plant and gear will be
towed up the river to Andreafsky.
where the outfit wintered last year.
And unless relief comes to the
people c-f Interior Alaska in the
form of an order putting a stop to
cannery operations on the river, the
outfit will be moved back to Qwiguk
slough next spring for another
cleanup.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
| cannery management to give the
contract men the best of the fish
jing, as reported earlier in the sea
ison by The News, several sourdough
; outfits did very well during the
'season, Alaskans taking first, second
^and fourth places in the season’s
j catch. “Kid” Goyne and Fred Lem
!on fished together and cleaned up
about $1,200 each, fishing for the
i cannery. Mat Johnson and Paul
I Larson, also Northerners, made the
' second largest catch, and Chris
| Lauredson and his partner took
: fourth place. The Munson brothers.
Outsiders, were credited with the
; third largest catch. They were with
'the cannery last year also.
No improvement in conditions
aloDg the Yukon above the cannery
(were noted by late arrivals here.
The shortage of fish at all villages
land settlements between the ean
‘nery and Tanana is described as
I very acute, with the prospect of
.mucj suffering among the natives
i during the coming winter. Similar
| reports come from nearly all
i streams tributary to the Yukon, in
cluding the Porcupine. Koyukuk and
Tanana rivers. There are not
enough fish in the entire valley, it
is asserted, to supply the winter re
quirements of a single locality.
Regarding conditions on the Koy
ukuk river, Archdeacon Hudson
^ Stuck says, in a message from Fort
| Yukon, that on a recent visit to
that part of Alaska he found “an
almost total absence of fish.” He
expresses the belief that the Gov
ernment will be called upon to feed
the natives of the Koyukuk coun
try this winter, and urges the press
of Fail banks to “wage war against
the iniquity of that cannery at the
Y'ukon’s mouth, -which is threaten
ing the lives of the entire native
population of Interior Alaska.”
The Nenana Daily News was first
among the papers of Interior Alas
ka to call attention to the condi
tions resulting from the operation
of the Yukon cannery, and an effort
has been made to keep the public
advised regarding developments as
the season progressed. The situa
tion has been made clear to the
Governor of the terrtiory by the!
Xenana Commercial club, and j
through the Governor to the bureau .
of fisheries, where the matter now
rests, with the cannery still oper
ating and the promise of another
season of salmon hogging.
NEW STREET IN
The new street in the business
section of Fairbanks, known here
tofore as "Easy” street, has been j
officially christened Blanehfield
street, in honor of Percy Blanch
field, graduate of the Fairbanks
high school, who was first among j
the soldier boys of the upper town
to lose his life in the war.
The question of naming the street j
was considered at the last regular
meeting of the Fairbanks council,
two weeks ago, and referred for
later deliberation and action. When
the aldermen met last night, the
petition of Xenanaites, suggesting
that the new thoroughfare be chris
tened Xenana, was read, and doubt
less would have received favorable
consideration but for the fact that
the members of the council desired
to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to honor one of the town’s
youthful war heroes.
The town clerk was instructed to
write to The Xenana Xews, ex
plaining the action, so that the peo
ple of Xenana might know that the
petition was received in a neighbor
ly spirit.
The new street intersects the
main business block of Fairbanks,
connecting First and Second ave
nues, about midway between Cush
man and Lacv streets. It was cre
ated shortly after the late fire, as
a means of affording greater securi
ty against conflagrations in the fu
ture.
DOG OWNERS, NOTICE!
Owing to the scarcity of fish and
the increased cost of other dog
feed, it will be necessary for me to
advance the monthly rate for feed
ing dogs from $4 to $7. Those hav
ing dogs at my place below N'enana
are hereby notified that I will rot
continue to feed dogs at the old rate
after September 10. The dogs must
be either taken away by that date
or left where they are with the un
dersanding that the board there
after will be at the rate of $7 per
month per dog. XELS STOL.
