If you’re troubled with the Gout
Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you’re troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains
If this don't make the world look brighter
Just tell your troubles to the writer
And anything he might suggest
Is guaranteed to be the best.
CARSTEN’S PACKING COMPANY
Taxes Ought Be Reduced
Says Juneau Canneryman
(From Juneau Empire.)
The taxes on canneries ought to
be decreased rather than increased;
the Thlinget Packing Company of
Funter Bay has operated at a loss
of several hundred thousand dollars
during the last five years, and taxes
on non-resident fishermen is in ef
fect a direct tax on the canneries,
according to James T. Barron, presi
dent and principal owner of the
Thlinget Packing company, who was
in Juneau recently.
“Some people do not realize,” said
Mr. Barron, “that the transportation
charges paid out by the Alaska can
neries, a cost that Washington and
Oregon canneries escape, runs into
very large figures. They do not
take into account that we have to
guarantee the crews that are neces
sary to hire in the states a definite
amount of work, whether we have it
for them or not. We have to pur
chase in advance all our supplies,
and sometimes have to carry over
from one season to another many
thousands of dollars invested in cans,
boxes and other supplies, because we
cannot afford to take the chance that
we will not have enough to care for
the salmon if it comes in. Then,
in addition to it all, we have to sell
our packs for less money than they
get for the Puget Sound and Co
lumbia River products.”
It the .territory should raise the
taxes on non-resident fishermen we
would have to pay the fishermen
enough more to make up the tax.
There are not enough working peo
ple in Alaska to handle the fish
pack. I mean that literally. If all
the mines should cease, all the pros
pectors come out of the hills, and
all the fox farmers abandon their
farms and go to work for the canner
ies there would not be enough to do
the work. All Alaskans who want
to work in the canneries can get
work. Many of them do so. We hire
as much of our crews as we can
from resident Alaskans every year.
“As things are now, the cannery
that makes a profit in Alaska is
the exception to the rule. Our can
nery has lo^st money during the last
several years—we. have lost several
hundred thousand dollars in the last
five-year period. Our experience is
that of most of the other companies
that have been operating in South
eastern Alaska.”
LANDLORDS REAP PROFITS
WHEN PROPINQUITY FAILS
BERLIN, Apr. 29.—Housing facil
ities are stall so scarce in Berlin
that the question of living quarters
; not infrequently has a deterrent ef
fect on contemplated divorce actions.
Once a couple is divorced each
party normally would seek another
place to live, but lack of suitable
dwellings often compels them to di
vide up their apartment and con
tinue to reside under the same roof.
But such procedure seldom has re
sulted sucessfully. There is usually
so much friction that one of the par
ties eventually gives up the fight and
moves out.

LISBON POOR PAY HOMAGE
TO WELL-BELOVED ACTRESS
LISBON, Portugal, Apr. 29.—Enor
mous crowds blocked the streets of
the city the other day when Angela
Pinto, the popular Portuguese ac
tress, was buried. The slums of Lis
bon emptied themselves to come
and see “Our Angela” pass to her
last resting place. She was the idol
of the people, and her remarkable
versatility ran from comic opera to
tragedy. Her favorite roles were
women of the people.
Beggars and poor old women whom
the popular actress had aided in her
lifetime were seen vainly trying to
touch the side of her bier as it was
drawn past them in the street.

GOLD DRAWS ADVENTURERS
INTO TROPICAL SURINAM
THE HAGUE, Apr. 29.—Baron A.
J. van Heemstra, governor of Dutch
Guiana, does not cease expressing
his admiration for the enterprise of
Americans in his colony.

come.
Local papers in Surinam are full
of admiration for the go-ahead meth
ods pursued by Americans in that
country, especially their organiza
tion of air transport which does away
with the slow and cumbersome travel
by river boats.
