LITTLE CALIFORNIAN
, iKES LITTLE TALK
y 4 —
MAY BE SMALL IN STATURE BUT
CERTAINLY TALKS ENTERTAIN
INGLY; VISITED IN SEWARD
TEN YEARS AGO
NOTES MANY IMPROVEMENTS
George H. Reid and Sister Miss Eliza
beth M. Reid Glad Stopped Over for
Nine Day Visit
“Californians may like to talk but
like every rule there are exceptions
and I am one of the exceptions,” said
George H. Reid, business man of Cal
ifornia, who was a guest at the Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon yesterday.
Mr. Reid and his sister, Miss Eliza
- beth M. Reid, were round trip
passengers on the S. S. Admiral Wat
son, disembarking Jiere instead of
continuing on to the Westward. They
will rejoin the vessel this evening en
route to Seattle and home.
“Anyway, I can say I certainly am
glad to be with you today and want
fo say I have enjoyed my Alaska visit
very much, even though it has been
limited. I am extremely glad that
we decided to lay over in Seward
though I will admit when first we left
the vessel we wondered how we
I would spend the intervening days.
Quite to the contrary each day passed
has excelled the previous one in
pleasantness.
“Since my visit in Seward ten years
ago I am very much pleased to admit
I have noted Seward has made sub
stantial progress. Your timber in the
hills will one day be a great resource.
Just be patient. The time will soon
arrive when this timber will be filling
the markets of the \world. Another
thing I have noted with pleasure is
that you Alaskans appear happy and
contented, unlike so many places in
the states where entire communities
really appear morose. You are a cheer
ful set
“I am particularly glad to go back
to California with new inspiration. I
am going to take back many pleasant
stories of Alaska to tell my neigh
bors, friends and acquaintances. In
fact I have already written and sent
out one story, one in which I said I
was up here to cool off. At certain
seasons of the year it is extremely hot
in California, sometimes for days the
thermometer registers well over 100
in the shade—and very little shade.
, I’m cool! I can truthfully tell my
friends that while in Seward a ther
mometer registered 70 below zero;
but that was in your local storage
plant. The little Californian having
made his little speech, I will now set
down.”
Which he did to the applause of
the members. P. C. McMullen, presi
dent of the chamber, thanked both
Mr. Reid and Mr. Cowles for their
talks and acknowledging the cham
ber’s appreciation of their presence.
Warren Gochenour and Maxwell
Sheridan of Wallace, Idaho are round
trip passengers on the S. S. Admiral
Watson. They expect to return home
in time for school.
British interests plan to harness
the Perak river for the production of
electric power in the Straits Settle
ments.
To save smokers the trouble of
breaking in new pipes a suction de
vice has been invented that can
handle 36 at1 a time.

Jens Antonson, fisherman and boat
man, died last week in the Cordova
hospital after having been bedridden
over a month. Mr. Antonson was
born in Christiana and took to the
sea early in life, eventually securing
‘mates’ papers. During the war he
was in the transport service. He
came to Alaska in 1921 with his
brother and has lived around Cordova
ever since.

John Joseph Gilmore, son of Mr. and

Point, N. Y.

i Alvin George English, eighteen, na
tive son of Seattle and a former, Broad
way High School' boy, met death by
drdwning while on duty at one of the
fish traps of the Nakat Packing Cor
poration near Baker Island, Alaska,
July 28.
The Magill one-line cannery at An
chorage which began operations some- j
what late in the season and which was j
not expected to pack more than 4,000 j
cases, passed the 5,000 mark a few j
days ago and it was confidently ex- j
pected that the pack will total 7000 J
cases by the time fishing stops. This
cannery has packed as high as 550
cases in a single day, which is con
sidered a very good record for a plant
of that size.
