GRANBY COMPANY TO
SHIP COPPER BY SKA.
SEATTLE: Shipments of copper
from Seattle to New York by steam
er will start from the Granby Smelt
ing Company of British Columbia
just as soon as the canal is cleared
for navigation and a direct steamship
tine, with a regular schedule, is put
on between the two ports, according
to F. M. Sylvester, of Vancouver, B.
general manager of the Granby
company. The copper which, owing
to the increased production of the
two Granby plants, one of the coast
and one near the Columbia river,
amounts to 4,000,000 pounds a
month,'now goes East by railroad.
Mr. Sylvester, with Mrs. Sylvester
and F. M. Sylvester, Jr., are at the
New Washington on their way east
after a month’s trip to New York,
where Mr. Sylvester went on busi
ness. He is well pleased with the
general business outlook, but be
lieves that the end of the year will
bring a period of depression of from
a few months to a year’s duration.
"As far as the Granby company is
concerned, we have no complaint to
make,” said he yesterday. “We are
handling about 180,000 tons of cop
per ore a month and shipping 4,
000.000 pounds of the metal to New
York every thirty days. The present
high price of copper has led to an
increase of production in out- North
ern plant at Anyox, B. C., where.we
are now handling about 30 per cent
more ore than usual. Although in
other sections of Canada there have
been reports of labor shortage we
we have more men applying for work
than we can look .out for. I regret
that we cannot increase our plants
to take care of the surplus of unem
ployed in our section. In the East
business appears to be on a better
| footing.”
Mr. Sylvester expects that the
! price of copper will drop as soon as
the war is over.—Seattle P.-I.

FLOCK OF TURKEYS
RAISED AT THE POST.
Jos. Newman, fireman on the Post
launch Lieut. Donaldson, takes ex
ception to a story printed in a Sew
ard paper to the effect that a Seward
man has raised the finest young tur
keys ever raised in the north. He
has a flock of seven young turkeys
raised at Fort Liscum during the
past summer, and the birds are fine,
healthy specimens. He succeeded in
raising seven out of nine which were

good record for Alaska. He won a

SAILED ALL NIGHT
.IN SAME PLACE.
Just before the Farragut passed
by the laBt time a schooner with a
cargo that included a barrel of whis
key was sailing int^ Kodiak with two
men for crew. The man who was
steering during the daytime threw
over the anchor but kept the sails
hoisted and the other man came to
steer for the night. The wind was
fresh and the waves beat around the
stationary vessel so that the steerer
in the dark thought he was making
good headway until day broke and he
found he was still the same distance
from shore. Then up came the day
pilot with a large quantity of the
whiskey stowed away inside his belt
and with alternate shifts to port and
starboard. The mistake was discov
ered and the last seen of the boat
she was tacking into the harbor with
apparently as great a jag on as the
man at the wheel had.
