Oldtimer of Alaska
Summoned By Death
Robert D. Menzie, one of the most
widely known oldtimers of Alaska,
died suddenly last "week in the Kusko
kwim district and his body was taken
to Fairbanks on Sunday by airplane,
according to information received
from the interior? on last night’s train.
Deceased was in the employ of the
old Northern Commercial Company
for many years in charge of the heat
and light department at Fairbanks.
During the last two years he has been
identified with a dredging proposition
on Candle creek in the Kuskokwim
district.
After leaving Fairbanks a number
of years ago Mr. Menzie went to San
Francisco where he underwent several
major operations and for a time his
condition was precarious.
An autopsy on Leonard Miller, who
died at the age of 5 in London showed
that he had a fully developed adult
brain.

Thousands Are Employed
Gives Records of World’s Salmon Pack
in Comparison with that of
the Territory
Value of the canned salmon pack of
Alask and Puget Sound for 1924 was
approximately $80,000,000 in retail and
its quantity was 5,715,000 cases.
And salmon packing is but one
phase of the enormously valuable fish
eries industry of which Seattle is the
center, not only for handling the out
put of canneries and fishermen, but
for equipping them.
Other records for 1924 in the fish
industry show:
Halibut landed in Seattle, 7,91 S,495
pounds, valued at $1,235,000; number
of schooners arriving S50. For 1923,
pounds landed, 8,181,250; value, $1
194,115; schooner arriving 896.
Mixed cod landed in Seattle in 1924,
2,824,000 pounds; value $136,500; in
1923, 2,460,000 pounds, value $151,471.
Money from the fishing industry is
all new money. To the producers last
year’s salmon pack was worth $40,
000,000. The season ends in the fall.
Last year for the first time a closed
season on halibut fishing went into ef
fect November 15, continuing until
February 16, 1925, in accordance with
an act of Congress and a treaty with
Canada.
6000 Men In Industry
Nearly 6000 men are given employ
ment in the North Pacific canned sal
mon industry whose fleet totals about
about 125 vessels. The halibut fleet
125 vessels. The halibut fleet totals
totals 210 vessels, valued at-$2,000,000
and gives employment to 1500 men. A
majority of all this army of employes
are paid off here or return to Seattle
after being paid off in the North and
spend the bulk of their earnings in
this city.
The most extensive cod banks in
the world are found on the Alaskan
coast. More than 50 fertilizer, and oil
plants are operated on the Pacific
coast producing vast quantities of fish
meal, fertilizer, herring and sardine
oils and other fish oils. New markets
for sablefish or black cod and fish
paste and fish balls are features of
recent development in the industry.
The United States commissioner of
j fisheries reported the Alaska herring
industry in 1923 worth $1,602,571. The
U. S. collector of customs at Juneau
reports the 1924 production as 19,369,
093 pounds, valued at $1,715,015.
Alaska shrimp outputt, 521,272 lbs.
valued at $247,172.
Last year seven whaling stations
in Alaska caught 1102 whales produc
mg l,9J4,4oO gallons of whale and
sperm oil, 2428 tons of fertilizer, 826
tons of whalebone meal and five tons
of baleen.
