HERRING IS TO BE A BIG
ASSET OF THE NORTHLAND I
While the salmon pack of Alaska
last year added $51,000,000 to the
commerce that passed through Seattle,
officials of the United States bureau
of fisheries are confident that within
a few years the cunning and picking
of herring will equal, if not exceed,
the value of the salmon canned last
season.
Practically the entire coast of Alas
ka is suitable for herring fisheries. In
every inlet and bay there are enor
mous herring schools, a food resource
that has so far been left virtually un
touched. Although herring fishing has
been carried out on a small scale by
natives and some white men for many
years, most of whom put up a few fish
for their own use, no reul effort to
market this product was made until
last year, when the united States bu
reau of fisheries sent a number ol ex
perts into the country to teach th«*
people how to pack these fish for tin
market. The method used is known
as the Scotch cure.
An excess of 40,900 barrels ot her
ring were put up and sent to New
York, where they sold at an average
•price of from $18 to $20 a barrel. The
gross output had a value of approxi
mately $80,000. The Alaska herring
were pronounced by experts to be th**
equal of any fish of similar variety »n
the world, and much better than the
widely- advertised Norwegian product.
Bureau officials are highly gratified
at the Jesuits, and are confident that
the business can be extended to enor
mous proportions it it is properly han
dled and exploited. Much, it is said,
depends upon proper packing.
It is the intention of the bureau to
send additional experts into the terri
tory this summer to extend the bust
mess and to inaugurate * a system of
inspection and branding which will
give the purchaser in the Eastern
markets an assurance that the con
tents of the barrels have been proper
ly packed. An appropiiation of $25,000

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway ot ,
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 160 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as 11
nature had anticipated the need ot a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
which in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography tor the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal ior the railroad. The un
limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
and in return will come the supplies for distribution oei
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port ol the North Pacific or the
NEW YORK OF ALASKA.
