previously indicated, the haul and
purse seines and gill nets do not us
ually deliver their fish in as good
| condition as the traps, and owing to
the fact that the fish aro roughly
handled in many instances they reach
tho cannery bruised, torn, and in a
deteriorated condition. On the other
hand, the trap fish are taken out of
the trap alive, in a comparatively easy
manner, and dropped into scows, and
lie there in the moisture, which is
almost equal to hermetical sealing;
and these fish keep for hours in
this state without the slightest de
terioration. Furthermore, trap fish
are almost alynys delivered at the
enueries more promptly than fish
taken by other forms of gear. 1
would therefore recommend that in
place of the 48-hour provision there
he one substituted to read that sal
mon not over 60 hours out of the
water may he canned; but regardless
of how short a time they have been
out of water, if in any way unfit for
food they shall not be utilized. Such
a provision would prevent the utili
zation of salmon that have passed
their usefulness as a food on account
of having spawned, although fresh
from the water; and those that have
been improperly bandied and cured
for.
Tn connection with the canning of
salmon it seems to me most important
that every concern in Alaska should
have a distinctive mark on all cans
so that responsibility may rest on the
packers and not on the .iobers. The
■armory men really desire this, for
most of them are proud of their
product and they want the credit for
its manufacture. Not only should
every can be marked distinctly with
the name or- initials of the company
racking it, but it should also clearly
indicate what kind of salmon it con
tains. The Alaska Packers Associa
! tion lias the clearest and most dis
I tinetive mark today< and the plan
should be followed out by other con
cerns. These trade-marks should all
be registered.

A COMMTJIN CATION
Ed.tor Miner:—
inasmuch as the Miner Man has
‘taken a look” into the matter re
ating to the construction of a street
>r roadway on Cliff Avenue and pub
] lished his findings, the writer having
I also looked into the matter slightly.
! would like to say a few words regard
I ;ng this enterprise.
First: I am in ignorance as to
j vhere he obtained his information,
j but will say this: It does not corre
spond with the data that I have ob
tained and sounds as though It came
from a source where ‘‘hammers”
were lying around loose. I don't
want to be understood as asserting
that the Miner Man is a ‘‘knocker,”
no ar all, but let's look into his
statement of facts. First, estimates
of cost of road to town limits are
from Four to Seven Thousand Dollars,
with the probabilities that it will be
nearer the latter than the former
i figure. Second, the humanitarian side
of the proposition of the city finding
work for those in distress. Third,
that nothing but skilled labor could
been employed, thus making it impos
sible for those who need the work to
be benefited or e mployed Fourth,
‘■he proposition of those residing out
side the city limits defraying part of
the cost, either in money or labor.
This, as I tin. erstand the article
is the statement of facts of the Miner
Mon. Replying to this will say.—
As to statement number one, there
are plenty of contractors in this fown
who would be glad to contract to
build the road and furnish materials
for same for $2,500, on a cash basis.
provided the city give them a free
right of wny. I mean by that, re
moval of nrtifical obstructions, Buch
ns buildings, the most of which have
been placed there since the street was
dedicated and after notice had been
served by the city. Second, if the
city does the work, while it is true
not many ean be employed profitably
those most needy can be given em
ployment. Third, any man who is
capable of working with his hands
is skilled enough to perform any work
on this road under the supervision of
the city's capable street commissioner
There are no loborers in this town
who cannot hit a drill, or turn one
or sot up piles so far as i know. As
a matter of fact there is very little
rock work to be done, provided good
.judgement is used in constructing the
raodway, as much of the rock work
can be avoided by either raising the
grade slightly or varying the course
over the dedicated strip. Fourth.
| this proposition is so ridiculous^ that
1 can hardly believe the Miner Man
would father it. It is no more log
ical than to ask the city, as a corpor
ation, to construct streets outside
the city limits, out of the city funds.
All of the residents of Charcoal pre
cinct. in an indirect way, help to
build tho streets of the town of Ket
chikan. The writer, while a non
resident, has contributed with his
partner, nearly Four Thousand Dol
lars to the city revenue in the past
three years. The members of the
City Council have expressed them
selves as being nuwilling to pass a
debt of tiles magnitude along to their
successors in office, which is com
mendable on the face of it. I have
no criticism to make on our present
City Council, as I believe them to be
honest, capable men, who are trying
their utmost to do the best they can,
with the revenue at their disposal,
but councilmen come and go and it
is idle to conjecture who will repre
sent the tax payers another year in
the Council. On the other hand, it
is reasonably sure who will contrib
ute the revenue for the coming year,
and they are the same people who paid
last year’s expenses. Now I do not
wish in any way to criticise the posi
tion assumed by the City Council, as
they are doing the very best they
can for tho tax payers, and it is up
to the men, who produce the revenue
for the City Council to expend to ex
press themselves in this matter.
My suggestion is that a petition,
setting forth the necessity of* this
project and showing that the city will
do their part of it, be circulated in
the town and it a two thrids or a
substantial majority of the revenue
producers of Ketchikan subscribes to
such a petition, then the present
City Council, can feel fully Justified
in proceeding with this enterprise.
I wll say further that it is up to th'
revenue producers of tho town of
Ketchikan, as business men. to de
cide whether they consider this pro
ject a meritorious one or not, for they
are the ones who produce the revenue.
Is it to our interest, as business men
to expend this money? What is the
purpose of expending money for
building streets or roads unless it con
tributes to your success as business
men? Now let's be fair. Let us look
into this proposition in a business
way. The writer of this has been
accused of being selfish and being
an interested party. I plead guilty,
f own a home along the water front’
beyond the city limits, that if the
street and the Government roadyav
were completed, would, in a measure
benefit me. I ask you in all honor,
are any of ns otherwise situated in
life? Hoping that a rational view
of this matter will be taken, because
nr. appropriation can be obtained from
the territory unless the city take?
the initiative.
