HALIBUT PRICES SOAR
It was stated in the Gateway’s news columns some j
time ago that halibut prices were raised and prices this |
year would continue to do so. They were given a raise1
again yesterday, nine cents being quoted by the San Juan j
Fishing and Packing Company, which to our way of think- j
ing will add great impetus to the general run of fish boats
into port from the world’s greatest halibut banks contig
uous to Seward, where last year they found prices prevail
ing in Ketchikan justifiable in their making the long and
arduous cruise to the First City. Already Seward mer
chants are acclaiming the fact of increased business and
the town in general is taking on a decided note of pros
perity, heretofore shrouded by low prices and the profits
enjoyed by Ketchikan as the result. The substantial prices
being paid locally for fish may well be cause for rejoicing
among the fisherman. When the fisherman catches his
fish and can come to Seward and unload his catch, merch
ants at the same time gain much benefit and should en
courage every fishing vessel coming to this port. Recent
ly Prince Rupert (for one day) quoted seventeen cents for
halibut, but it was ephemeral. We can wager there
wasn’t a fishing craft within a radius of 500 miles with
fish aboard for sale. Still Rupert gets up and broadcasts
the fact and the seventeen cents rang out thru the entire
United States via the Associated Press route, but no men
tion was made in this same report whether any purchases
were made. That is why we doubt it. There are fishing
boats in Seward now, reaping the benefits of nine cents
and we hope the price will remain as it will prove condu
cive to the entire town as well as to the fisherman and the
local cold storage plant.
HOT STUFF
A rather clever story is going the rounds concerning
the municipal band of Palm Beach, Fla. Just how true
it is we can not vouch, but we pass it along for what it is
worth:
Last year while the band was playing “There’ll be a
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” the Breakers Hotel
took fire and burned to the ground.
A few days ago at Orlando the band struck up “Keep
the Home Firse Burning” and a $25,000 warehouse a block
away went up in smoke.
Next day at Lake Eola, while the band poured forth
the strains of “Red Hot Mamma” fire broke out in a pri
vate hospital just across the lake.
Fire Chief Alfred Sadler has warned the leader to re
frain from playing any more musical hot stuff.
FANS REQUESTED TO TURN
OUTTONI9HT, AT DIAMOND
A squad of members from the S. A.
C. and others who are willing to as
sist, are asked to show up at the ball
park tonight at 6 o’clock for the pur
pose of helping in filling in the large
gravel ditch in the outfield. There is
a large mass of debris on hand which
needs scattering about after which
dirt will be thrown over.
The larger the crowd tonight the
easier it will be for all concerned. Tom
Dyer and Shellhorn, leading spirits in
preparing the diamond for the coming
ball year have been working alone on
the field since Sunday but tonight’s
task is a bit too large for them, thus,
the appeal to rehson.
WOMAN’S CLUB TO MEET
The Seward Woman’s Club will
meet tomorrow afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Charles Lechner, at 2:30.
OPEN FOR BID
Bids for the auditing of the City
books will be received at the City
