Big Salmon Pack.
A preliminary report from the
agent for the protection of the sal
mon fisheries of Alaska shows that!
by the aid of the revenue cutter
service substantially all the fish
canneries and salteries in
;.<i: territory wen inspected dur
ing the sotson of 1902. The total
number is 62 canneries and 24
salteries. There has been an in
. -t.se in the number over hose
itpor.td las- year oi nine new tan
neries and 14 salteries. Five can
neries in course of construction this'
year are not included in the fore
going figures.
lhe total catch of the Alaska!
fisheries for the season is estimated
a no Jess han 2>147i >,000 cases, an
inert ase of nearly -lOO.OoO ca.-cs
over the pack of 1901. The to.a.
value of the pack is over $$,000,000.
The take of salmon in Alaska rep
rtactus about 37,000,000 ush, am.
pov.Jes 11$,000.000 pounds o
i.iu prepared for the table. The
attfjK re,-one that the pack of sal
mon elsewhere than in Alaska for
the year 1902 was 1,037.000 casts,
and that the aggregate salmon pack
of the world this year was 1,000.000
casts less than in 1901. The tax
collectible on the salmon jack un
der the Alaska retenue laws
amounts to about $100,000 for the
5*CM**on.
It would appear as though Sitka
is about to benefit from her position
on the route to the Westward. The
Sitka Alaskan of the 2. tb lilt., suvst
“ The Pacific Packing and Navi
gation Company has offered Sitka
merchants u freight rate which i* a
sweeping reduction over the charger
of the Pacific Coast Co. Potatoes
alone will be carried IS cheaper per
ton. coal fli cheaper and otlwr
staples will come here at corrcr
pondingly low rn*es.”
Pertinent to the same subject th»
Junenu Record-Miner of the 29th
ulr. says that “Gov. Brady writes
ft >.n Si k.i that the merchants
t icre are refusng *o enter into any
new eon racts wi h the s'eamshij
c > npanies for the ensuing year.”
Alaska’s Great Future.
The Skagway Alaskan says thnt
at a meeting df the Skagway chnm
i her of commerce a long letter was
read from (Jen. A. \V. Greeley, in
which the chief of the United States
signal strvioe portrayed a great and
everlasting future for Alaska. The
general said that a large wealthy
population would inhabit this.
Northern country and thnt it would
! develop along lines little dreamed
o; by those now engaged in com
merce, mining, fisheries and lum
liering. He also paid a glowing
tribute to the great army of pioneers
who are redeeming the country for
civilization.
A mining expert recently describ
ed u lode ns raversing a “nietanmr
phie matrix of a somewhat argillo
uretmccous com| osition.” This
means, literally, a ‘'changed mass
of a somewhat elavey-sandy com
position.” This in i s turn may In
trins ate! into plain English us
ni-_-o. Woy choke a puny fact
with liiurdtrous polysyllables?
Huxley and Darwin, Lvc!l and
hurraday could so uric hs to la
“under*'umled of . n* propie,” and
there is a suspicion abroad in these
limes that the big words so freely
usi-d bv small men are a device to
conceal ignorance and inexact
thought rat her than a proof of su
perior knowledge.—Ex.
Our worthy neighbor, the Min-,
ing Journal ask* the Sentinel to ad-1
vnnec oiu* reason that could in*
advanced against territorial organ
ization for Alaska. All right neigh
'>or. jufct one: How many pkk
ma.nf.xt residents has Alaska? In
the language of the comedian the
people are “here tomorrow and gone
oduy;” in other won Is they are
migratory; like the birds they
'■pend their summers in Alaska but
dee to o'hir climes for winter, and
hence cannot hi* classed as perma
nent fixtures. Until this ceases and I
Alaska lias a healthy, bona tide
population, she needs no territorial
orm of government to heap an un
necessary taxation u|ion those who
• re here as permanent fixtures.—
