Mrs. Heber Smith Joins Husband at
Valdez—Couple Showered With
Rice by Friends
VALDEZ.—Twenty years ago He
ber Smith, then a compartively young
man, left his home in New York to
come west and seek his fortune, leav
ing his wife behind him, awaiting the
time when he should make his home
in the western country, and should
send for her. Mr. Smith drifted north
with the argonauts of ’98 and sought
his fortune at camp after camp, only
to be disappointed, and forced to move
on.
He finally settled at Valdez and be
came identified with the town, taking
the position of guard at the federal
jail here. Last month he sent for the
wife he has not seen for twenty years,
and Mrs. Smith hastened to join him,
arriving on the steamer Alaska yester
day.
The passengers on the Alaska
hearing the story of the long quest for
gold, and its happy ending, made up
a surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and
when the happy couple greeted each
other at the gangplank of the steamer,
they were vigorously showered with
rice and good wishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith will make their
future home in Valdez.—Prospector.

HITS CANNERY HAND
WITH CLEAVER—JAILED
JUNEAU, July 31, (Mail Corres
pondence).—The United States Mar
shals office has been advised that Ma
ria Rosas, a Mexican cannery employe,
is being held in the Wrangell jail on
the charge of probable murder, and Bo
Sing, a cannery cook victim of the
Mexican, lies at the point of death.
The Chinaman has signed a state
ment that Rosas made an unprovoked
assault upon him with a cleaver. The
Chenese was in bed; when he awoke
Rosas struck him across the head with
the heavy cleaver. A Wrangell sur
' geon took several pieces of fractured
skull larger than a quarter from Bo
Sing’s head. The fracture is over sev
en inches long.
Rosas claims he was intoxicated and
has no remembrance of assaulting the
Chinaman. He has been bound over
to the federal grand jury on an open
charge awaiting the results of the in
jury.

375 WORK IN
HERRING PLANT
—
New Canneries in Southeastern Alaska
Assuming Prominent Place in
Packing World
JUNEAU, July 20, (Mail Corres
pondence).—The great plants of the
Alaska Herring and Sardine company
at Little Port Walter and the Alaska
Pacific Herring company at Big Port
Walter are believed to be suggestive
of the possibilities of the herring in
dustry in Alaska. In addition to the
herring caught and sold for bait, these
two companies have been putting up
nearly (>00 cases of kippered and
spiced ' canned herring and several
hundreds of barrels of salted herring
daily, yet both companies are adding
to their capacities. Both companies
admitted that they have no difficulty
in procuring all the fish they can han
dle. These two companies now employ
about 375 men and women, a consid
erable number of whom are experts
from Europe. The success of the in*
dustry seems to have been established.
Those who have watched the oper
ations of Capt. A. W. Thomas, pioneer
among all Alaska herring men, since
he began business as manager of the
Alaska Herring and Sardine company
early last year and the newer Norwe
gian company this year and who are
familiar with the waters of Southeast
ern Alaska, say these institutions are
but the forerunners of an industry
that will shortly rival the salmon and
halibut fisheries. They say that Icy
straits is filled with herring, and that
other waters are as favorable for the
herring industry as they are for sal
mon and other fisheries.
