FISH WAS SO THICK
HARD TO GET WATER
A Tacoma Man Has to Block Them
Out of Stream
David Crockett, Y. M. C. A. moun
/
tain climber, who went to Alaska
on the steamer Admirad Watson in
; June and spent several months sight
seeing, hunting, fishing and prospec
ting with a party of six, has return
ed to Tacoma. He reports business
thriving in the northern towns on
the Alaskan coast. He compares
j the Avery river valley to Paradise
valley on Mount Tacoma, and gives
an interesting insight into con
ditions in southeastern Alaska. He
says:
“We started north by way of the
’ inland route and landed at the
Granite mine the seventh day out
in what is called Hobo bay on the
; west side on Prince William’s Sound
; 1,600 miles from Seattle. On the
i way up the steamer stopped from
I cnc to several hours at each of the
! coast towns and passengers took in
! the sights.
“From the bottom of a fish can
nery at Ketchikan to the top of the
Treadwell mine at Douglas is a
route which teems with interesx.
From the unwholesome odors of de
j caying silversides to the mercury -
I covered slabs of gold, prosperity is
| found everywhere and Alaska bus
| iness is in good condition. On July
3 our party was ferried six miles
' across an arm of the sound to a
; olace called Golden, a United States
eostoffice on the east side of Port
i Wells. Here we camped at the
mouth of the Avery river. The
tream was alive with salmon and
salmon trout. The catches we made
"'-■old not be believed. In Alaska,
wherever running water is found,
fish are in shoals. We had to put
nn,es across the little creek to keep
the salmon out of the branch where
we got our water.
“Game in the Avery valley is al
so plentiful. Spruce hens and ptarm
f'rresponding to our grouse
and pheasants, are the birds of the
region and there certainly are tots
of them. The animals are black bear
and mountain goats. One day’s hunt
- "died our party with more meat
than we knew what to do with in a
“eek. The miners, prospectors and
Indians living around Port Wells
have all the fresh fish and fresh
meat they want the year around,
and the only cost is an hour’s time
out on the hillside or along a run
ning stream.’’
HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES
A range will keep black much
longer if you first rub it with soap,
then apply the blacking. Another
way to get the same result is to
add a little soap to the stove polish,
which will prevent grease sticking
to the stove and also give a gloss
to the polish. Also rub soap on your
hands and let dry. It will prevent
the polish from getting into the
pores. If there are red parts on the
stove cover them with vinegar. A
drop or two of molasses added to
stove polish will make the stove much
blacker, especially where it has be
come red. Wash your stove occas
ionally with turpentine and see how
clean it will look, but be careful
j to have no fire in the stove when
; you do that, as turpentine. is an
j explosive. If the range Is carefully
I wiped with brown paper after cook
: ing greasy food it can be kept
| bright much longer.
