CANNERY LABOR CONDITIONS AT
THE WESTWARD
The findings of the Valdez Grand
Jury regarding conditions existing
among the crews brought from the
South to work for the cannery com
panies at the Westward during the
summer, are rather harrowing and the
recommendations drastic. There is no
doubt but that things are not as pleas
ing as people would like to have them
and it is not improbable that there
should be some investigating. The
charge that people are released from
jail where they are serving time for
crimes that they might come to Alas
ka for the canneries at least, should
be looked into.
However, people should understand
that there are necessarily many thous
ands of these employees brought to
Alaska every season. Thousands of
them are unskilled laboring men, pick
ed up in the large centers of popula
tion. Coming as they do, for a few
month's work, they must be recruited
largely from the transient population.
Under the circumstances it would be
strange indeed, if many undesirables
were not picked up each spring when
the crews are being assembled. It is
unfortunate that it should be so, but
that is the experience everywhere of
men engaged in enterprises under
similar conditions. No doubt the can
nerymen would like to have things
different and would welcome sugges
tions at so how they may be improv
ed. It is reasonable to assume that
they would rather have crews with
out criminals among them than to
bring undesirables North. Those who
commit crimes and cost the Govern
ment money not only cause the pack
ers much annoyance but they add to
the expense of their operations.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Physicians who examine life insur
ance applicants frequently detect high
blood pressure. Examinations in New
York by the Life Extension Institute
and by war examining boards showed
the same thing.
High blood pressure is a symptom
that something is wrong. It means the
heart has to exert undue force to drive
the blood through the arteries, which
have become thickened, restricted,
narrower, so that they supply less
blood to organs and tissue for cell
building and repair.
In other words, heart and arteries
are degenerating, or wearing out, thru
some cause you have created, by im
proper diet, lack of exercise, or habits
that tend to break down your resis
tance and health.
The main cause of arteriascelerosis
(hardening of the arteries) is high
living and high nervous tension. Rich
and poor alike suffer.
Another cause is stimulating the
adrenal glands (small organs adjac
ent to the kidneys) by smoking. This
secretion by these glands ,in excess,
affects the blood vessels, constricting
them and increasing blood pressure.
Don’t invite high blood pressure b>
intemperance in eating and working.
Seek your physician before you have
to live the hygenic life you should
have developed in youth.
DRY AT ANTOFAGASTA
CH1LIE,—You wouldn’t see a drop
of rain for five or six years at a time,
if you lived in Antofagasta, Chilie. In
fact, there are many grown people
there who have never seen a real rain
storm. Antofagasta is an up-to-date
South American industrial city, with
municipal market, motor busses, goii
courses and the usual trappings 01
civilization. The drinking water has to
be piped long distances from the meli
ing snows of mountain tops.
No such thing as trees growing
wild in or near Antofagasta, says W.
M. Stokes, resident of that city, now
visiting in our country. “They have
to bring suitable soil into the country
and blast out the rock in order to
plant trees. Then they must be
sprinkled regularly. The several
parks we have there have been built
in that way.
SEUENTY BLUE FDXES
JUNEAU: Seventy blue foxes, con
stituting the first batch of animals to
be placed on the Goldstein Glacier
Fur Farm were landed here this
week from the Admiral Evans and
taken at once to the ranch and turn
ed loose in the pens. They were
brought in from the westward by Ma
rion Goldstein who left here about six
weeks ago to pick them up.
Five animals were lost during the
trip dying from seasickness resulting
from a stormy voyage ol the steamer
Starr en route to Seward from the
west. All of the other animals w-ere
ill. Mr. Goldstein said it was the
stormiest trip he had every experi
enced. Seas ran mountain" high when
it was at its worst and the Starr took
several clear over the smokestack,
extinguishing the fires twice.
The foxes came from the govern
ment farm on the Pribilof islands,
where 20 pairs were secured; from
Seldovia and from Cross Sound.
Another shipment of blue foxes will
arrive for the ranch on the next
southbound trip of the Admiral Wat
son. On the same ship will also be
the first shipment of martens. The
company plans to make a specialty of
breeding and raising the latter spe
cies. Fifteen men are at present at
work making pens on the ranch. They
will be filled as rapidly as stock can
be secured.

OF PEACE FOR MARINERS
Neighboring towns who have be

BRIDGE CLUB ENTERTAINS
One of the most enjoyable affairs of!
the fall social season was the bridge
party given by the women of the Sew
ard Bridge Club for their husbands
and families. Play began promptly at
8 o’clock and continued until 11,
when a delicious collation was served.
At the conclusion of supper prizes
were presented to the holders of high
and low scores, the former going to
Mrs. H. B. Selby and Mr. D. H. Tver, j
and the latter to Mrs. A. E. Rucker
and Mr. W. E. Root. There were six
tables at play.
