“SALMON OUTLOOK
IS VERY GOOD”
According to F. C. Johnstone,
head of the Alaska Fish Com
pany, the outlook in the canned
salmon business is very good.
“The publication by (lie gover
nment of the recent bulletin
showing that, canned pink sal
mon is the cheapest food in
America today is hound to have
a good effect on the market," j
he said. “Then I noticed that '
one of the largest department
stores in New York was mak
ing a leader of canned Alaska
Pink salmon recently, and go
ing demonstrations of how to
prepare same. Such work as
this is what we want, and it
will mean thousands of dollars
to the packers, for it will get
people to trying the pink sal
mon, and after that there is
bound to be a steady demand
for it”.
“We are going to put up all
the salmon we can at Water
fall this season, and I am satis
fied that we will be able to sell
it. Business over on the West
Coast is rather slow at present,
but it will pick up I am satis
fied. We are puting in a good
stock of general merchandise
at our Waterfall store and will
have E. A. Henry in charge
this season.”
Mr. Johnstone left for the
south on the Mariposa this
morning.
The government at Washing
ton has been notified that the
coal from the Matanuska coal
fields has arrived at tide water
and is ready to be placed a
board ship. It is believed that
the armored cruiser Maryland
will be sent North to get the
coal and make a cruising test
with it this summer.

BIG WASTE IN EGGS YEARLY
Washington,— Two hundred
million dollars worth of eggs
wasted every year! This is the
startling estimate of the De
partment of Agriculture today
after a careful investigation of
this phase of the high cost of
living. Of this vast amount,
fifty million is attributed to
needless breakage in transit,
and the remainder to bad handl
ing which causes addling, spoil
ing and deterioration. Two
hundred millions dollars worth
of eggs practically thrown away
a year—or else fit only for
strong palates, for tanning, or
to swell those unpleasant mon
"mr,nts of American waste—
i' garbage heaps. Uncle 8am
i ’oiug his level best just now
to teach people how to secure
more and better eggs, and how
to properly pack, grade and
candle them. The first task
is undertaken through the bu
reau of animal industry, the
second through demonstration
cars sent into the vast corn
belt. Uncle Sam has decided
that cold and cleanilness are
best means to preserve eggs.
Likewise he is putting in a
boost for the little gray hen.
lie says, "use her right, feed
her right, and she will repay.”

RUSTGARD TENDERS
'HIS RESIGNATION
Word arrived on a recent j
boat that United States Dis
trict Attorney John Rustgard
had tendered his resignation to
take effect oil or about June 1.
This will lend to relieve the
situation in this district, as Mr.
Rustgard made such a good
record in office that it was dif
ficult for the powers that be to
produce a reason for his re
moval. There is every proba
bility that his successor will
be named from the outside, as
acceptable material seems to
be lacking in this region.

The action of the Yukon coun

500 for the construction and
maintainance of ferries in the
territory and also in making an
appropriation for the improve
ment of the Whitehorse-Car
cross road and regulating the
guage of vehicles indicates that
an automobile road to Skagway
is being looked forward to as a
possibility—aye, a probability—
of the not far distant future.
The spirit ot help the north is
not confined to the United
States government, but is found
on the Canadian side as well as
over the line. The days of
highway brigandage in trans
portation circles in the North
are numbered. Their end is
not quite here but it is coming
as sure as summer is coming.—
