FISH-PACKING CONCERNS
INVESTIGATE TUNA FOR
CANNING PURPOSES
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—Two Pucitlc Coast
fish packing concerns, one of Seattle
and the other of San Francisco, are
considering establishing cannery bran
ches in the Hawaiian Islands, and en
tering into competition* with several
Japanese firms which have had the en
tire control of the fish industry in the
isk nds for several years, according to
ctneular dispatches from Honolulu to
the Department of Commerce.
The American firms have been gath •
ering information on the run of tuna
in Huwailan waters, the report states.
Both firms .are expected shortly tc
send representatives to Honolulu to as
certain definitely whether the turn
j urs are continous, or at intervals or
seasons in which the fish are plenti
; i u!. They also have been gathering
k ata as to the labor supply in Hawaii.
At present practically no fish are
i tanned. Instead the catch is sold in
kpen markets o fllonolulu. The Jap
i; nese a few years ago started the in
dustry buildng sail-propelled sanpam
j which were used as fishing smacks.
; These have now been displaced by
j gasoline-driven sampans which are
capable of developing 12 to 14 knots
an hour with a steaming radius of
| 1,000 miles, thus permitting them to
operate in fishing grounds several days
di&tant. Each craft is equipped with
ice compartments where the fish, as
caught, are placed, so that some ot
the boats are out from four to six days
and even more. Home go as far as
Uird and Luysan Islands.
In the last three or four years large
corporations have been formed group
ing sampans by the score,' the repor
states. One company new control .
105 Japanese sampans. Another com
pany has 40.
Yellow and blue fln tuna are alway
on the market, the report states, bu
brings too high a price at retail to per
mil of cannery usc-the prices ranging
from 10 to 20 cents per pound.
The little akuli, or sardine fish,
schools about many of the Islands in
abundance and, officials say, the es
tablishment of a canery to handle this
fish would probably bring rich returns.
The Nome Bowling Club'* Alley’s
are now open to ALL who enjoy thit
healthful sport., 12 to 12.
PICKING UP OUTLAW
WIRELESS OPERATORS
AT UNKNOWN PLACES
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON,—Knowledge that
powerful wireless stations are opera
ting without licenses in defiance of flit
law and refusing to reveal their loca
tion frequently reaches the Rudio Ser
vice. Department of Commerce, from
various sections of the country. Of
ficials are informed that such a sta
tion, with an unusually powerful
sending apparatus, is operating some
where la Arizona.
Recent press dispatches from San
Francisco told of big l'uciflc Coast
stations having often in the last few
months been interfered with by the
Arizona unknown. Those stations re
ported the matter to the government
wireless officials at San Francisco,
who soon picked up the wireless wave
of the Arizonian. When question.'d
by the federal inspectors, the ‘'outlaw”
became impertinent and challenged
the Inspectors to "come and g. t me.”
By the aid of a "finder” the station
was ascertained ‘o be in Arizona, and
was finally definitely located within
an area of a hundred-mile radius.
Ellery Stone, assistant radio in
spector at Sun Francisco, is now en
route to Phoenix, Arix., to inspect 'lie
new Federal Wireless Company plant
at that place, and, the Washington
utiice understands, will attempt to find
and close the offending station while
in Arizona.
RAISE RATES
FOR OCEAN
SHIPPING
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—A twenlyflve per
cent increase on rates for all freight
from the Hutch East Indies to New
York was recently put into effect hy
the Nederland Steamship Company
and the Rotterdam L.loyd Steamship
Company, the two Dutch lines which
have a monopoly on the shipping busi
ness of all Dutch colonies in the Ma
lasian Archipelago, Consul Kanden. at
Batavia, Java, has reported to the De
partment of Commerce. Ships of these
companies utilize the Panama Canal.
The rates now In force are; per last
of 1-89 tons-copra $72 pepper, $100
rattan, $69.60; tin, $66; hats in bales
and cases, $30.80; hides and skins, $29.
60; tea. $33.60, and kapok, $26.
During the later part of October the
Ocean Steamship Company whose
steamers previously Included some
Java ports, ceased touching the Dutch
East Indies.
COSTS MORE TO
FEED ANIMALS
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—The high cost of
living has hit the National Zoological
Gardens. A revision of the menu has
already taken place and if food prices
keep on soaring the animals soon will
go a still cheaper diet.
Most of the beasts prefer fresh meat,
and the lions in particular inspects
his beef before eating. Embalmed beef
and tainted flesh may pass the r.rmy
commissary, but His Majesty, King of
the Jungle, contemptuously sniffs and
turns away from anything but the
cholstest cuts.
Altogether, It costs about fifty per
cent more to feed the denizens of the
government soo than It did a year ago.
