KETCHIKAN TO
HAVE ANOTHER
BIG CANNERY
Reports recently received from the
south state that the Alaska Packers
h^ve purchased ground in Ketchikan
for the erection of a cannery and will
move the Wrangell plant of the com
pany into the new structure, says the
Ketchikan Chronicle of recent date.
With the addition of this plant to
the number already here, Ketfchikan
will have more cannery lines than any
city outside of Bellingham, it is said.
It is understood that the Wrangell
plant of the Alaska Packers is to be
dismantled at the end of the present
season and the machinery installed in
the cannery plant to be erected here.
Fred Heckman, manager of the
Loring plant of the Alaska Packers,
will probably be placed in charge of
the cannery here while Captain Schott
who is now in charge of the Wrangell
plant will become manager of the Lor
ing plant, it is believed.
It is also reported that the Alaska
Packers have tendered the Territory
the Loring hatchery property, provid
ing the Federal government will pro
tect the company on fry release on
taxes. The Loring hatchery is a mod
el plant, but under Federal regulations
has been forced for years to release
red fry, which is not inaccord with
the ideas of the Territorial fifisheries
board.

Following up the theory that the re
tina of the eye retains the image last
seen in death, Prof. Sere of Paris has
invented a camera to magnify such
images with a view to their use in
detecting murders. In the case of a
recent German murderer, his image
with a hatchet upraised, was said to
be discernible in the dead eye of the
victim. While the photograph was
not admitted by the court the crimi
nal was convicted by other evidence.
