WEED ’EM OUT NOW
Cannery operators view the coming fishing season
optimistically and look forward to a good year regard
less of the new regulations. Several large cannery steam
ers have already made one trip to the westward Alaska
region carrying crews, gears and supplies and are now
on their way back to reload for another westward voy
age, this time, with the addition of several more big ves
sels, for the Bristol Bay district, where there will be em
ployed this year from 10,000 to 15,000 people. These fig
ures do not take into consideration the other number of
thousands of cannery folk who will be working in other
plants scattered along the westward Alaska coast.
It is hoped that the authorities Outside will see to it
that a large portion of this help is not taken from out
the prisons of California and other States as has been done
in former years, only to prove a heavy burden upon the
Territory when later they become embroiled in trouble,
arrested, brought to Seward, then taken to Valdez and
later, stand trial.
Without a doubt, much of the notoriety Alaska has
received within the last year as regard to lawlessness
of its citizens originated from these alleged “Alaskans”
and reputed cannery workers brought north at about this
time of the year.
There is no finer citizenship in the United States than
that practiced by real Alaskans and one would have to
travel far to find a more hospitable people.
AMERICANS FIRST
In connection with the problem of alien criminals, the
proposal has been made that all foreigners convicted and
sentenced to one year or more in prison shall be deported
after they have served their sentences.
The plan has been discussed recently by the House
committee on immigration, and it is hoped by this means
to ultimately relieve the congestion in federal and state
penitentiaries.
One member of the committee jokingly pleaded for
the adoption plan on patriotic grounds, saying:
“We have got to save American prisons for Ameri
cans. We can’t afford to have aliens crowding our people
out of their own jails.”
WE KNOW BETTER, KETCHIKAN!
The attack made upon the fair city of Ketchikan as
conveyed in the feature news article published through
out the United States and which is based almost entirely
on Delegate Sutherland’s charges against court officials
of the First Division, is one of the most unjust things we
have heard of in many years.
With crime running rampant in almost every State
in the Union, the attention of the nation is directed to
gaze upon what the Hearst papers call the “worst pest
hole in America,” Ketchikan, Alaska. Thousands of visi
tors to Ketchikan and Alaskans themselves know Ket
chikan smells “Mighty Lak’ a Rose” in comparison to
some of the stink pots in the States.

NCI MOVE FOR WEEK
ONE OF THE LARGEST PURSES
UP ON NENANA SWEEP
STAKE CLASSIC
The fortunate winner of this year’s
Nenana ice pool classic will be able
to take his choice of several trips
around the world or embarking in
to a substantial business of some sort
for the sweepstake will approximate
the $20,000 mark, according to pres
ent indications. Ticket purchasing
closed last Tuesday at midnight.
According to the following record,
compiled from over a 30 year period,
it will be seen that the ice has never
gone out prior to April 29, with the
latest on May 14. At that rate, un
less all previous records are broken
this year, it may be from one to two
weeks before the flash comes thru
that the ice is moving out.
