MLS OF TRIP
I SALES MANAGER BRIERLY BACK
TRIP OF INSPECTION TO
BRISTOL BAY.
CREW VESSEL GASSED
Westward District Are Handicapped
By Lack of Transportation
and Communication.
A fair estimate of “Iron Chinks”
in operation in Alaska this season is
placed at 250 machines, B. R. Brierly,
sales manager for the Smith Cannery
Machine Company, of Seattle, stated
during his visit in Seward last week.
This estimate is based on the num
ber of canneries in the Territory, of
which there are 155. The new mod
el “Iron Chink,” of which several are
in operation to the Westward this
season, are doing splendidly, Mr.
Brierly said. During his trip to the
Bristol Bay region the machines had
been turned over for little spurts,
during the preliminary run of the
salmon, just enough for the various
managements to tune the machines
up and note their operation, which
was satisfactory in every sense.
Mr. Brierly and W. E. Peterson,
i floor foreman and an expert on the
j machines, who has been with the
company for 19 years, made the round
j trip with Mr. Brierly, both departing
! for Southeastern Alaska on the last
steamer out of Seward.
Fish Flooding Canneries.
H. B. Friele, general manager of
the A. & P. Products Co., of Seat
tle, the owners of the Nakeen can
nery in Bristol Bay, whom Mr. Bri
erly accompanied to the Westward,
received a telegram in Seward just
; prior to his departure for the South,
! advising him that the fish were l'lood
■ ing the canneries, the run starting
i July 3.
At Nakeen, the site of the newest
cannery in the Bristol Bay region,
Mr. Brierly said Mr. Friele’s com
pany has the finest plant it has ever
been his good fortune to inspect.
The plant is of steel construction, in
cluding all buildings; has three lines,
a splendid organization and due to
its fine location, believes will shat
ter all packing records this season
for the Bristol Bay district. Mr.
Brierly also inspected the six “Iron
Chinks” at Libbvville. Necessary ad
justments to the machines were made
at the plants after which instruc
tions in operating the new model
were given. Numerous other canner
ies were visited, coming and going

Start Made Return Trip.
On the trip out, 30 hours traveling
brought them up the river, 60 miles
in length, and acrosss lake Iliamni,
about 90 miles in length, and approx
imately 55 feet above tide water
level. The trip was very pretty, Mr.
Brierly said. A stop at Iliamna vil
lage, a couple of miles from the lake
on this side, of a day and a half was
made. This was on account of a
slight delay in making connections
with a different boat to carry them
from the bay across to Seldovia.
“Meet Me At Highwater.
“In that district,” Mr. Brierly said,
“one does not make a date at a cer
tain time, but with the tide or high
water, for unless one is at tidewater
at the bay, at hightide, it is almost
ail impossibility to get off the beach,
owing to the long tide run in the
bay.”
Four Mile Row In Bay.
Crossing the trail from the lake to
the bay the men rolled into bed at
10 o’clock and two hours later, were
aroused by Captain Tom Perry of
the mailboat Salmo, and advised to
get aboard his craft. It had been
previously arranged by Mr. Friele,
for another boat to take the party
across the inlet but word was sent
that the Salmo would meet them in
I stead, as Captain Perry would be
I coming to the bay with the Alaska
i Road Commission crew and equip
! ment. After a row of four miles in j
I a small boat they boarded the little"
! craft, and the trip to Seldovia begun. !
Overcome By Gas Fumes.
! The engineer of the Salmo, Cap-!
: tain Perry and his daughter were all
gassed on this trip, Mr. Brierly stat
| ed. His attention was first called to
| the queer antics of the boat which
started to run about in a circle. It
was at this time that the party dis
covered the crew had been gassed.
They were revived but just about
this time the engine, which had been
running smoothly, stopped and, for
six hours they drifted about the dan
gerous Cook Inlet until, with the as
sistance of Mr. Peterson, the engine
j was turned over again. Mr. Brierly
said he was actually afraid of fire
as a quantity of oil had run over the
engine floor, at the time the engi
neer went under from the gas fumes.
Fine Trip To Seward.
| The party arrived at Seldovia at 6
o’clock that evening, and was for
tunate enough to obtain the service
of Mr. Lee of the gasboat Emma, to
run them to Seward. The trip to
this port was made in fine shape,
remarkable fine weather being en
countered the entire trip, with the
water as placid as a mill pond.
Remarkable Topography.
From Naknek anchorage, Bristol
Bay, the topography of the region
runs upwards to a height of approx
imately 350 feet, for 175 miles. A*
this point inland, the elevation rises
abruptly another 350 feet, and then,
in the short space of two miles, drops
off into Cook Inlet. This struck Mr.
Brierly as being something very un
usual. The walk from Iliamna vil
lage to Iliamna bay is 12 miles, he
said.
Sam Foss, well known in Seward,
is packing in the region, and lives
across the village on the other side
of the river. Mrs. Foss conducts a
comfortable roadhouse at this point.
Putting In Bridges.
The Alaska Road Commission crew
has been at work for sometime in
this region, he continued, and is
making some fine improvements over
the old road, or trail. A camp is lo
cated at the lake, on the other side
of the divide, where the crews are
opening up a new trail. At the time
the Bristol Bay party passed thru
the district, the road men were pre
paring to put in a number of wood
en bridges. This will prove to be a
boon to the travelers crossing the

EXONERATION OF WILSON
AND HIS IDEAS SEEN
BY GERMAN NEWSPAPER
BERLIN, July 10. (/P)—Gradual ex
oneration of President Woodrow Wil
son, “whose reputation had been bad
ly injured by the Treaty of Versail
les,” is pointed out by the Frnak
furter Zeitung in its review' of a
book compiled by Theodore Hahn
covering the statements, writings
and publications of the American
war president.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says, “this
gradual exoneration is keeping pace
w'ith the growing realization of the
dangers today besetting European po
litics by the very general disregard
for his ideas. If the world wishes
to live in peace it will have to return
to Wilson's theories.”
E. W. Barnet, president of the Al
aska Hills Mines Corporation, wiio ar
rived in Seward from Nuka Bay yes
terday morning, departed for his An
chorage home on this morning’s choo
