[UZINKI REGION
PRODUCES MUCH
FISH PRODUCTS
O. L. GRIMES, WESTWARD BUSI
NESS MAN, RELATES GROWTH
OF DISTRICT
Approximately $400,000 of finished
fish products were shipped Outside
from Uzinki the past season, accord
ing to O. L. Grimes, prominent West
ward business man who fourteen years
ago, arrived at Uzinki from Cook In
let, with a few hundred dollars in his
pocket, which he has since run up to
a sufficient size that he is now think
ing of disposing of his many business
interests and retire. Mr. Grimes has
been a visitor in Seward for the past
week and departs this evening for Val
dez where he will be engaged on busi
ness matters for the coming week. He
plans returning to Uzinki on the Ad
miral Watson.
When Mr. Grimes started up his
small store at Uzinki, fourteen years
ago, the district was absolutely unde
veloped, little revenue from exports
being derived from the fisheries. To
day, the $400,000 of products, which
was shipped to the States the past
summer, gives one a fair idea how that
region has developed. The above sum
represented about 12,000 barrels of
herring and approximately 18,000 cases
of canned salmon. This against four
teen years ago when there was noth
ing.
Last season Mr. Grimes speculated
in salmon bellies, furnishing the salt
and barrels to the packers, and ship
ping outside about $5,000 worth. It
is his intention, providing he is un
able to dispose of his interests, to go
into the salmon belly packing industry
on a much more extensive scale, next
summer. Of late years not much at
tention has been paid to this branch
of the fishing game, whereas some
years ago, a considerable industry had
been developed.
Mr. Grimes is the largest individual
stockholder in the Katmai Packing Co.
at Uzinki. He has always conducted
a large general merchandise store,
dealt in furs, even to speculating in
fishing vessels. Mr. Grimes stated
he had been lucky in practically all
of his Westward transactions, but it
is learned that Mr. Grimes business
acumen is responsible for his rapid
financial strides, and not entirely to
luck as Mr. Grimes attributes it.
Mrs. Grimes is conducting the Uzin
ki business during her husband’s ab
sence, with the assistance of her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Wyly, who also teach
es the native school.
u is stated tnat tne herring side ot
the Katmai Packing Co., cannery at
Uzinki was leased out the past sea
son to the W. J. Imlach packing Co.,
and that last spring Mr. Grimes erect
ed a large saltery at the village which
lie also leased out. In this vicinity
the fishing season was very good, Mr.
Crimes said, about twenty-five men be
ing employed in each of the salteries
and about fifty in the cannery crew,
in the Uzinki village there are at least
L50 natives. During the fishing sea
son Mr. Grimes handled the mess for
:he salteries and cannery.
With reference to the herring indus
:ry, Mr. Grimes stated he believed in -
;ime this business would assume huge
aroportions, much larger than at the
aresent time. One of his reasons for
his belief is due to the fact that the
ood value of herring is so much great
:r than, say, ordinary beef, contain
ng probably twice as many calories,
vhich greatly enhances its value as a
lealthy food. Herring is also a won
lerful appetizer. The Madje cured
terring, of which there are several
elections, is a considerably milder
ured herring than the Norwegian
ured, and is therefore, gaining rapid
V in popularity throughout the entire
Jnited States. Where a few years
go the New York market would not <
ouch Alaska herring, today, Mr. -
irimes said, the Alaskan product is
luch in demand.
After all, the worst they have
gainst Mr. Dawes to date is that
e once played a tin flute in a Dem
cratic parade.
Our idea of a questionable conclu
ion is a vote of only three or four
len judges as to who is the prettiest
irl in Seward.
