Fisheries Department
Announce Close Season
The local canneries are taking up
their gear preparatory to observing
the closed season on hump salmon
which is now in sway for the next
15 days or until the 25th of August,
says the Cordova Times of recent
date. The purpose of the two weeks’
cessation of fishing is to protect the
salmon from total extermination at
the hands of the packers. This sea
son applies only to Prince William
Sound, while in the Copper River
district the season has been closed
since July 10 and is now open agaiD.
Shirley Baker of the Bureau of
Fisheries, Department of Commerce,
today stated that in case the humpie
run shows signs of being completely
over before the beginning of the
open season, he wrould recommend
to the other officials of the depart
ment that fishing be allowed by the
20111 of this month in order not to
entirely close the season this early
in the summer. The principal pack
of the cauners this season has been
composed of humpies and silvers,
the red run being very limited. This
according to ail statistics compiled
so far, has been one of the poorest
years in the history of this part of
ihe country, as far as salmon packs
are concerned.

INSANE MAN JUMPS THRU
WINDOW OF COACH AND
GETS AWAY FOR A WHILE
Deputy Marshal Reynolds of Mc
Carthy was detailed to bring two in
sane patients to Cordova from that
place and was accompanied by a jail
guard from there as assistant. As
the train was running past Mile 89
on the Copper River Railroad, one
of the patients, becoming unusually
wild, broke from his captors and dove
through a train window, shattering
the glass as he went. From there
the passengers saw him disappear in
to the underbrush and timber along
the track.
The train was immediately stop
ped, the remaining patient was en
trusted to the care of the guard,
and Mr. Reynolds hiked to the
nearest section house and organized
a posse to help search for the miss
ing man. The train which arrived
in town that afternoon brought the
deputy with his charge, who was
immediately put in custody here. The
posse after several hours search fin
ally located the runaway and he was
brought back to town on a speeder.
He was not seriously injured by his
jump from the running train, and
proved a very docile prisoner on the
return trip to town. The two pa
tients will be taken out to Morning
side in the near future.

If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are. sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you.
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
/•
r
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—andyourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges. - .<*
Your dealer appreciates your patronage.^ He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. _ ^ ^
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars*
