WHY SUCH WASTE?
It is an indication of the growing consciousness oi
Alaska fishermen of opportunities being ovemoKe/i
that the question" Why do Alaskans waste so mucn
from the sea?" was propounded recently among a c,~t .1
ering of them. It set them ail talking and many inteiest
ing observations were forthcoming, they all went away
thinking. 1
Some of those present had read up more on tne tish
ing trade than had others and the growing tendency
everywhere in the fishing industry to use everything
that comes from the sea for some useful and profitable
purpose and to utilize every part of the fish from the
.scales to the air bladder, so that it will some day be said
of the fish industry as it is of the hog industry, that
everything is saved but the squeal.
Here are some of the facts brought out one by one,
gleaned from a recent article in Popular Mechanics
which, applies to the fishing industry generally, but will
soon become of paramount importance to Alaska.
During the past three years a saving of $15,000,000
a year has been reached in the United States in the util
ization of waste and fish by-products.
Shark hunting has become important for fins and
hide for the making of shoes, women’s handbags, sword
hilts, nose-grips for eye-glasses.
Skins of sturgeon, gar-fish, wolf-fish, cod, cusk,
water-snakes and frogs, are used for leather. Eel skins
are used for bookbinding, whips and suspenders. Hides
of seal, sea-lion and walrus, make a special leather for
silversmiths and gunsmiths for the highest kind of pol
ishing. Fish skins of cod and haddock make fish glue and
gloves. Fish sounds are used for isinglass, for clarifying
beverages, for adhesives, and in sizings to impart lustre
and stiffness to linens and silks.
Vanishing creams, beauty creams, toothpaste, per- j
fumed soaps are made in part from fish and whale oil.
Besides these few items there are innumerable others.
Of these latter oils 10,000,000 gallons are produced an
nually and are valued at $5,000,000.
At present all these products are manufactured in
the states but the time will come when factories of this
nature will dot Alaska. But in the meantime, what a
waste is going on. It can be truly said a woman could be
fully clothed, and supplied with the necessary requisites,
from the sea.
In making your New Year resolution resolve to
buy Alaska coal throughout the coming year.
There is a current rumr going the rounds that a
tremendous project is in the offing for Resurrection Bay;!
a breakwater for the protection of small craft and the i
government dock, and new wharfing facilities. The re- }
port has it that the project totals $8,000,000. Let us now
sing that old sweet melody “Please Go Way and Let Me
Sleep.”
It was mining which first lurecT people to Alaska [
and in our humble opinion it will continue so for years ]
to come. j
We have yet to hear of a man, woman or child cast
anything but the highest praise for that chef at Tunnel. i<
He puts out a swell table to the traveling public; and js
how! i
Up in Nome they say $5 a sack is paid for coal and .
by the ton lot $35. What’s the matter with sending \
Alaska coal down the Yukon on barges and tow it across s
Norton Sound? jc

Talk is being revived of Canadian steamers extend- :s
ing their routes to Seward beginning next season. Ac- ^
cording to the report efforts, in this respect, are to be !
made at Washington this winter to inaugurate this ser- o
vice. 2
The Petersburg press recently had a small fire in c
the plant but its origin remains unknown. Perhaps a hot i
editorial exploded. 8
Seward Post No. 5, The American
Legion, tendered a farewell dinner
last evening to Technical Sergeant
Caril U. Stuart, Quartermaster
I Corps, at the Seward Grill, as he
jhas been ordered to duty elsewhere
and is leaving on the next boat for
Seattle.
Sergeant Stuart has been serving
| here since last September a year !
I ago and at the last meeting of the j
Seward Post he was unanimously i
I elected Post Commander, having
| previously served the Post as its
j Adjutant.

THREE RIVERS, Quebec, Nov.,
15, (jp)—An old wing of the St.
Joseph’s seminary is a mass of
ruins following a fire which
caused damage to the extent of
$500,000. An irrepareable loss was
sustained by the institution when
; the library burned in which was ;
regarded one of the most com- j
plete collections of French books
in the Province. The library also j
included several volumes of Can- j
adian history.
Four members of the Seward
Volunteer fire department who
WN1 be leaving the city soon for
the south, were guests of the
department last evening at a
farewell banauet tendered them
in the Seward Grill.
Lieutenant Hunsicker, Tech, j
Sgt. Stuart, Sgt. Urie and Tom 1
Earl were the members honored. !
In turn each of the men made j
a brief talk fitting to the occa-i|
ssion but these came after the i
crab salad, chicken dinner and
p 11 the trimmings including i
plum pudding, had been stowed
awav where it would do the most
good, and cigarettes and cigars
were glowing.
Mel Holben, proprietor of the :
Grill, took this opportunity of
passing cigars around in honor ;
of the arrival of another son and !
heir in his family. The depart- i
ment bovs appreciated the time
y thought.
