WHY IMPORT SARDINES?
“It’s still an indication of th ebackwardness of in
dustrial development in Alaska, or a pleasing auger of
the future, according to the point of view, that 1 must
go to the store to buy sardines from Scandinavia, the
Mediterranean, Main or San Pedro when there are bet
ter ones swimming all around me here in Alaska,” re
marked a fisherman who knows his sardines.
“Down in Southern California 15 years they spurn
en the lowly sardine- which is only a member of pur
own herring family, but as the tuna and bonita and yel
low-tail began to fall off in catch, the canneries turned
to sardines down there and it it is now one of their
main products and I believe leads the world in output.’
“Up here we have plenty of fish that could go into
the can under the head of sardines, but we have all the
time been thinking salmon and halibut to. the exclusion
of everything else.
“But times must change. The offerings of the sea
themselves will force it, coupled with sure action by j
the government. The salmon and halibut catch must be
restricted lest the very existence of these fish be threat
ened. In that event, and it is sure to come, the big and
little companies must turn to something else. They
have the buildings and much of their equipment can be
used for sardines and for many other fish which these
waters offer. It won’t be long now.”
“The goose that lays the golden egg” may be a myth,
but the ostrich that produces diamonds is not, according
to a dispatch from Cape Town, Africa. Two ostriches
killed near there were found to have 70 diamonds in
their crops, and the discovery may lead to the finding
of new diamond deposits in the vineinity.
A psychologist declares that women are happier
than men. There is no doubt that they get more enjoy
ment out of their misery.
It would be a splendid improvement were a tele
phone installed in the Seward school building; a fine
thing from the standpoint of emergency. Who knows
what moment the immediate need for assistance from
fire, sickness or accident, might save life and property.
The installation of a telephone in the school building
is just as essential as a fire-hose or fire-escape, and no
time should be lost in having such service.
A German has invented a pillow which prevents snor
ing. We assume it is a small one to be stuffed in the
mouth.
Government experts are seeking to make cotton
cloth that will not wrinkle. Inventors generally look
for new wrinkles.
We have heard nothing from Herrin for a good
while. Did they kill each other all off?
The Einstein theory has been explained, but it
seems that no one can explain the explanation.
Premier MacDonald has come and gone without
hearing a single squak from Big Bill Thompson.
A big gas merger is said to be imminent. Wonder
if it includes the output of the capital at Washington.
In China husbands and wives seldom see each other
before marriage. In America some seldom see each
other afterward.
There is consolation in the thought that if Congress
spends all its time in investigations there will be no
chance to pass any more laws.
Senator Sheppard wants to punish the buyer of
bootleg as well as the seller. As though the buyer were
not punished now.
A general switching around in I
Standard Oil offices in Alaska
takes Harry Grub away from Kodi
ak after five years as superintend
ent of the Kodiak plant. He arriv
ed on the Admiral Rogers for Fair
banks accompanied by Mrs. Grub,
where he succeeds M. Jorge^on who
has been transferred to Juneau.
T. H. Dyer, who was on the trans
portation end of the activities of
the Standard Oil at Fairbanks was
promoted to the rank of superin
tendent and went to Kodiak a week
ago with Mrs. Dyer to take Grub’s
place. Mrs. Dyer is a daughter of
Roy Southworth, assistant editor of
the Anchorage Times.
Kodiakers generally, altho wel
coming the incoming superintend
ent express regret at departure
of the Grubs who have been prom
inently identified with the business i
and social life of the town since’
their arrival in Kodiak five years i
ago. Harry Grub has been active ! i
in every move for the betterment of \
Kodiak, being an officer of the Ko
diak Guides, Inc., the Kodiak Live
stock Association, which was or
ganized to combat the bear menace j
and was also one of the organizers ;
of the Kodiak Chamber of Com
merce. Altho Kodiak has grown j
rapidly in the amount of oil pro- i
ducts handled during the past few :
years as the fishing fleet moves
Westward, necessitating additional
tankage now going in, Fairbanks
has grown still more rapidly in the
number of motor vehicles centering
there and a greater amount of pro
duct is handled.
