CHARLES FISHER, Prop.
For the past three years, Dr. Pry
er of Haines, Alaska, 12 miles be
low Skaway, ha3 been preaching
shrimp, shrimp and nothing but
shrimp, in his Lynn Canal home.
So loud and persistent was he in
his talk, that it was heard was down
in Petersburg, 200 miles distant by
Earl N. Ohmer, president of the Al
askan Glacier Sea Food company,
who immediately and forthwith sent
two fishing boats to investigate and
prospect. The results of the inves
tigation were very flattering and it
is expected the operations will be
gin about May 15, when a scow is
scheduled to arrive with cannery
equipment aboard. There was an
enthusiastic mass meeting held by
the few citizens of Haines, and ap
proximately $500 was subscribed to
assist this new industry. Work will
begin immediately on five dolphins
to be a dock to afford a place where
the floating cannery will be landed
and tied up. The canning will take
place on the scow and the finished
product will be shipped south aboard
steamers calling here. About 75
pickers will be needed. This will
give employment to the natives of
Klukwan and around Haines, who
are very much in need of work, es
pecially since Vogel’s cannery is not
operating at present.
A recent earthquake in Ketchikan
of three seconds duration did not
do any damage.
Five men from the middle west
left Billingham recently on their
way to Ketchikan on tbe Cannery
Tender Catherine D., to hunt game:
The men are H. F. Evans, F. H.
French, C. A. Barton, of Davenport,
la.! V. A. Flynn and Dr. Stanley S.
Burns of St. Louis. Upon arriving in
Ketchikan the men expect to take a
small boat to the mainland. It is
also said that the Kasaan Gold Min
ing company is replacing the build
ins recently destroyed by fire and is
preparing for a busy season.
Cooperative measures will be tak
en by the Alaska Railroad this year
to help the forest service handle the
forest fire situation on Kenai penin
sula. When Chas. H. Flory, district
forester U. S. forest service, was in
these parts recently, he, with W. J.
McDonald, forest supervisor, confer
red with Noel W. Smith, general
manager of the Alaska Railroad, and
completed arrangements for the sea
Mr. Smith agreed to equip all of
the engines of the Alaska Railroad
with spark arrestors, and cut the
fire hazard on the railroad to a min
imum.
On July 1, a fire chief will be in
stalled in Anchorage at the offices
of John Brady, forest ranger, as a
central dispatcher. He will also pur
J chase supplies and handle fire crews,
leaving the district ranger free to be
on the ground directing fire fighting
in person. This is the first time
such an arranement has ever been
made on the Chugach forest.
Attorney E. F. Medley was recent
ly the successful bidder on the old
Hayes and Graham floating cannery
now moored at the city dock in Cor
dova. He offered $10,000 for the
plant, which was auctioned by the
marshal of the Copper City.
A monument made in Anchorage
out of cement and., white quartz, all
polished by hand, which gives it the
same effect as polished granite, was
recently completed by Nels Enander,
to be placed on the grave of the late
P. O. Sundberg. Th emonument is
over five feet high four feet wide
at the base.
Mr. Enander, who is considered
an expert on cement work, intends
opening an establishment in this
city if he can find a market for his
kind of work.
B. B. Mozee has made applica
tion to the lighthouse service to have
a light placed at North Forelands,
one mile above Tyonek. This light
has been badly needed at this loca
tion for a long while.
B. B. Mozee, also announces that
the mine rescue and hospital build
ings at Chickaloon, which were trans
ferred from the Alaska Railroad to
the bureau of education, will be mov
ed to Eklutna within the next few
t days.
By a rule of the London police
council, no member of the force may
marry without the chief’s permission.

During last Wednesday’s rough
weather on the Sound, a scow being
towed into Cordova, from Green Isl
and by the launch Shamrock broke

ed by Sig Lee to be used for his

States navy tug Swallow docked in
Ketchikan from the south. She is
having repairs made to her rudder
casing before coming north. While in

The spring term of court in the
First Division came to a close the
fore part of the week in Ketchikan
and left for headquarters in Juneau
for sessions there. The district
court was not as busy as upon for
mer sessions in the First City, seem
ing to bear out the assertion of the
grand jury in its report that Ketchi
kan was a clean town. With the ex
ception of a few bootlegging cases
and hearings on several civil cases,
none of real interest or importance
occurred. The next term in Ketchi
kan will be held in July sometime.
