GORMAN PUNTS USING
ALASKA COAL FOR FUEL
HEAD OF TWO CANNERIES SAYS
BIG SAVINGS MADE IN PUR
CHASING PRODUCT IN ALASKA
•\Ye expect to pack at least 30,000
cases of salmon this season,” W. W.
Stoll, head of the Gorman Company
canneries, stated to the Gateway yes
terday, prior to his departure for
Drier Bay. The pack thus far has
been very satisfactory, Mr. Stoll
said, but the run of fish will not be
sin until probably about July 16, end
ing August 10.
Mr. Stoll arrived in Seward from
an inspection of the plant in Anchor
age last Sunday. About -10 employes
are on the payroll at the Inlet can
nery. he said, but this number will
be increased to at least 100 when
the run of fish starts. At the Drier
Bay plant the regular crew numbers
about 60 employes.
Speaking of the 4th of July cele
bration at Seward, to which Mr.
Stoll and his crew at Drier Bay
were invited, he said that he feared
the fish run would interfere with
the plans for coming over but at
least one boat of cannery workers
could find time to come over, a week
from next Saturday, and possibly
stay over until the following Mon
day.
Both at Drier Bay and at the An
chorage plant, nothing but Alaska
coal is consumed, Mr. Stoll replied
in answer to a question regarding
fuel used. ‘‘I cannot see why all AI
aska canneries do not purchase then
coal in the Territory instead of hav
ing it shipped up from the States.
There is at least a saving from
to $4 per ton and, according to a re
cent analysis, the Alaska produc
stands up equally as well as tin
foreign coal shipped in. I see nc
reason why this local Industry
should not be increased considerably,
but the operator should certainly
supply the local and Territorial
wants first,” Mr. Stoll said in con
clusion.
He is expected to return to Sew
ard today and plans departing for
his Seattle office on the steamer
Yukon, which is scheduled to sail
south out of Seward, Sunday after
noon.
