ALASKA SALMON POPULAR IN
GERMANY
9 ___
Canned salmon from Alaska is pop
ular in Germany and considered by
Germans to be superior to Canadian
or Puget Sound salmon, says a circu
lar issued by the Department of Com
merce. Tihe Alaskan product, it add
ed, is very hard to obtain at present.
For several years canned salmon of
all kinds has been virtually off the
German markets due to the distress
ed economic straits found there fol
lowing the war. It was one of the
first items of foodstuffs that found
its way into the country from abroad
.following slight improvements in eco
nomic conditions and should grow in
volume as conditions continue to
shape up for the better,
Salmon, writes American Vice Con
sul John R. Ives, of Hamburg, is
pleasing to the German taste and has
always been favored by all classes,
even the cheaper (brands finding a
ready sale. High import duties form
a handicap to shipment of the canned
article. To evade this, smoked sal
mon in bulk is being imported in
small quantities. This, however,
does not fill the demand for the ar
ticle the scarcity of which has led
to endeavors to find some kind of
substitute. Only one of these has
met with any degree of favor. “See
achs” or sda-salmon, a sliced and ar
tiftcially-colored cod fish, has been
put on the market in a small way,
and owing to its cheapness, is find
ing some sale. It is not endanger
ing the salmon market, which, it is
predicted, will show mudh greater ac
tivity in the next few years than at
any period since the World War.
Matt Moore and
Patsy Ruth Miller
Appear in Comedy
Matt Moore and Patsy Ruth Miller
are to be seen together on the screen
in the First National release, “A Self
Made Failure,” which William Beau
dine directed. Moore has long been
one of the most popular leading men
and Miss Miller’s name is becoming
more and more of a box-office draw
ing card with each new film in wfhich
she appears. Despite the popularity
of these players the producer has
realized the wisdom of an all-star
cast and the result is an assembly
of players that cannot help putting
j over a picture with any audience.
Lloyd Hamilton who enacts the
title role, has forsaken his own pro
ductions to appear in this picture.
Ben Alexander who held the spot
light of McDonald’s Penrod and Sam
and “Boy of Mine,” is again cast in
one of the big roles.
McDonald’s consdstecy as a good
producer enabled him tc oorrow C.
Riesner from the Charlie Chaplin
company and to obtain the services
of such talent as Matt Moore, Patsy
Rutih Miller, Sam de Grasse, Mary
Carr, Victor Potel, Dan Mason, Alta
Allen, Harry Todd and Joe McCray.
“Cameo,” the intelligent bull terrier,
completes the principals of the cast,
but the fact must not be overlooked
that even the “bits” in this McDon
ald production have been filled will:
well-known artists whose names will
add weight to the drawing power of
the players.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans In holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
