ALASKANS ATTEND
BIG BPOELKS MEET
IN MIAMI, FLA.
One of the biggest national con
ventions of them all is that of the
B.P.O. Elks, and the Alaska delega
tion to the Miami meeting is mighty
proud of that first prize the Alaska
float won in the convention's big
parade, according to M. E. Monagle
who. with Mrs, Monagle, returned to
Juneau on the Baranof.
The-float was planned by the An
chorage delegation, and whether it
was. the pretty girls on the float
throwing cptton snow balls, the mov
ing bears, the flashing northern
lights, the coolness of the icy igloo
on the warm Miami night, that won
the prize, Monagle didn’t know, but
the combination made the Alaska
float a winner—first among entries
of the entire nation.
Two cars of Alaskan delegates
rode in the parade and threw bal
loons to the crowds of bystanders
that lined the streets of Miami.
Attending the convention from
Alaska were District Deputy Howard
E. Simmons and Monagle of Ju
neau; Frank Murcowski, Exalted
Ruler and cashier of the First Na
tional Bank in Ketchikan; Fred
Axford, Exalted Ruler of the An
chorage Elks, Louis Otsather and
Bert Rutherford of Anchorage; Bud
Thayer, district deputy, Fairbanks.
Along with the delegates were
Mrs. Monagle, Mrs. Axford. Mrs.
Otsather, Mrs. Rutherford and Mrs.
Thayer.
Following the Miami convention,
500 of the 12,000 delegates made the
trip to Havana along with Joe Kyle,
Gary, Indiana, new Grand Exalted
Ruler. •
The Monagles and Simmons, Ju
neau's representatives at the con
vention enjoyed every minute of
the trip. Miami was as pleasant in
summer as in winter. Top tempera
ture was about 80 with cool ocean
breezes to keep the northerners
happy.
Mrs. Simmons and Jerry Ann Sim
mons, who remained in Seattle
while Mr. Simmons made the con
vention trip, returned to Juneau a
week ago. Simmons, who flew back
from the Miami trip, preceded them
by a week.
The Monagles visited the Herb
Redmans in Washington, D.C., and
Delegate to Congress Bob Bartlett.

NOBODY "CRABS"
WHEN CRABBING
NETS $450 A DAY
CORDOVA, Alaska, Aug. 9—Ufi—
Fishermen here won't “crab" as
long as the crabs keep creeping
the way they are at present in
the Gulf of Alaska. Fishermen
report daily earnings running up
into three figures and it looks as
though the strike is as rich as any
of the lucky sourdough’s early day
gold findings.
Cordova is one of the big pro
ducers of canned and frozen crab.
The species fs known on the Pacific
Coast as the Dungeness and until
recently all of the Cordova area
catch was in adjacent Prince Wil
liam Sound. Few fishermen ever
ventured outside the waters of the
sound.
A month ago a venturesome fish
erman decided to try his luck in
the Gulf of Alaska. He put out
his traps and brought in a first
day’s haul of 3.000 crabs. A Cor
dova packing plant paid him $450
for his day’s efforts. Since then
the take has been about $300 a
day and many other fishermen are
moving in on the crab fishing
banks.
After several weeks of fishing in
the same area, boats continued to
bring in 1,800 to 2,500 crabs each.
Small boats are manned usually
with a man and a boy, or two men
at most, so the daily "take" nas
been running about $150 to $200
each.
Packing plant shakers, those who
remove the crab meat from the
shells, have prospered. A skilled,
shaker can remove about 450
pounds of meat a day and at 9'i
cents a pound that’s $42.75 for a
day’s leg shaking.
The crab meat is then either
canned or quick-frozen and ship
ped to brokers in Seattle and San
Francisco.

BA5QUE-IRI5H CHILEAN
HERE ON 2-YEAR TRIP
Without realizing it, a number of
Juneauites have helped give Sobth
Americans more knowledge of Al
aska. Those answering the questions
of a certain personable young tour
ist who arrived on the Baranof were
talking to a resident of Santiago,
Chile. Neither his appearance nor
his speech would be a tip-off.
Sergio Ignacio Castro-Echeverri*
is the 26-year-old only son in a
family of Basque (70 percent), Ca -
tilian and Irish ancestry. Hf has
two married sisters.
The Chilean leased his 200-arre
farm for two years so he could
travel, and has until April to finish
his wanderings. (Chief crop on the
farm is sunflower seed for cooking
oil; the secondary crop is barley.)
"Everything is very modern," he
said. "A new paved highway goes
right by the farm. I take a bus
for the 200 kilometres from San
tiago, and get off at the door.”
The Latin American visitor at
tended an English school in San
tiago for ten years, the last four
studying law.
"I did not have the inclination
for it,” he said. "One day, during
a class in our mining code, I just
walked out and went back to the
farm. Perhaps my books are still
there.”
With the home of his Basque an
cestors—French and Spanish Basque
provinces on the Bay of Biscay—as
one important destination, Sergio
left Santiago in April, 1940
He has been to Spain, France,
Switzerland, Italy, Greece and
Egypt. Returning, he stopped in
Portugal, New York, where he had
been before; Brazil and Argentina.
Recently, he sailed on a freighter
from Valparaiso, reaching San
Francisco a month later. After a
side trip to Honolulu, he came up
the coast and boarded the Baranof
in Seattle. In Juneau, he is a guest
I
at the Baranof Hotel. Anchorage, ■
McKinley Park and some more of
Alaska are next in his loosely plan
ned itinerary, which is to include
a long stay in Mexico.
Speaking of the Irish side of his
family, the visitor pointed out that
the "old families” of Chile number
many Basques and :rish.
"Our national hero,” he asid, "like
your George Washington, the hero
of independence, is General O’Hig
gings.”
