SELDOVIA PACKING
CO’S. PACK LIGHT.
Got Only 13,000 Cases Out of 35.000
that had been Prepared
For.
\V. G. Whorf. who is interested in
the Seldovia Salmon Co., at Seldovia
and in some coal claims on the Cook
Inlet, arrived last night on the Al
liance. Mr. Whorf is here on busi
ness and will return to Seldovia on
one of the next boats. His cannery
packed this summer 13.000 cases out
of a pack of 35,000 cases prepared j
for. He says that the average Cook i
Inlet canneries this summer is about j
one half of the expected output.
Mr. Whorf has shipped out some
coal this summer and says he expects ,
to ship out considerably more in the j
future. The coal is of good quality
for domestic use.
On July 28th Mr. Whorf started
from Seldovia on a trip around Cook
Inlet and even over as tar as Aiahk
Bay, near here, looking for good fish
ing grounds. He reports, however,
that there are no red salmon in any of
the small bays and rivers outside of
Cook Inlet, although there is a great
aboundanee of silver salmon and king
salmon.
He says that the survey boat. Ex
plorer. has been doing good work this
summer. He thinks that it has ac
complished more this season than all
the other survey boats together for
the past two years. They are making
careful surveys of the whole of Cook
Inlet, and expects that they will work
till late this year. The fine weather
this summer has helped them along.
The light house tender Kukui instal
led eight blinkers on the Cook Inlet
this summer as aids to navigation.
ALLIANCE COMES AND GOES.
The Alliance arrived ast night at
11 o'clock and sailed south at 12:45
She brought several passengers to
Seward from Anchorage and the Cook
Inlet. She took out five. The Al
liance has 65 passengers this trip
leaving Anchorage for this place and
Seattle.
Her delay in reaching here was due
to a storm on the Cook Inlet which
caused her to put in at Seldovia for
a day.
PORCTP1NE SHI TS OFF
ELECTRIC CO.'S WATER.
At ten o’clock last night the water
of the Seward Electric Light and
Power company began to fail accord
ing to the pressure guages and it was
evident that the supply was failing,
so up men were sent to ascertain the
cause. On arriving they foujui that a
huge porcupine had made his way in
to the grizzlies and had come very
near putting the whole system of cit\
lighting on the bum. Mr. Porcy was
dead.

CANNING SEASON LIGHT ON
COOK INLET THIS SEASON.
Libby. McNeil & Libby Man At
tributes Small Pack to the
Weather Conditions.
That the great deficiency in the
canning this summer around the Cook
Inlet can be attributed to the general
good weather ami late easterly winds
is the statement made by Superin
tendent Swenson, of the Libby, Mc
Neil & Libby cannery at Kenai, who
arrived last night on the cannery tug
“Willard B.” His cannery put up 39,
000 cases, although they were prepar
ed to can 55,000 cases this season.
The “Abner Coburn”, the Libby, Mc
Neil & Libby ship, sailed from Kenai
August 31st with the season’s pack
and all cannery hands.
The packs of the other Cook Inlet
Canneries were as follows: The Al
aska Packers Association cannery at
KussilofT put up 49,000 cases out of
an expected pack of 72,000. Their
ship, the Star of Russia, is expected
to sail from KussilofT on the 6th of
this month.
The Northwestern Fisheries Co., at
Kenai, packed 35,000 cases and they
were prepared for a pack of 65,000.
Their ship, the Charles E. Moody sail
ed from Kenai the first of September,
with the summer’s output.
The Fidalgo Island Packing Co., at
Port Graham, canned 23,000 cases out
of an expected output of 4;>,000
1 cases.
The cannery at Goose Bay, under
the management of August Busch
man, put up 13,000 cases. They had
planned on canning 25,000 cases of
salmon this summer. The cannery
hands and the balance of the pack of
the SeWovia Salmon Co., the Fidalgo
Packing Co. and the Goose Bay can
nery are expected to pass through on
the Admiral Evans on their waj out
to Seattle.
LOCAL CABBAGES AND
TI RNIPS WEIGH 7 LBS.
Cabbages weighing seven pounds
each ami turnips weighing 6 pounds
each, and alt of the most perfect
quality, have Just been received by
Brown & Hawkins from Anchorage.
The vegetables while as large as
those received from any place outside
have none of tho poor qualities ob
served in the large outside vegetables.
Although these particular turnips and
cabbages came from Anchorage they
are just about the same as are grown
in the Seward district.
SHOT IN CABIN WHERE
BOB DCNN KILLED EBLING.
Remarkable Coincidence Occurs in
Fairbanks When Man 'lakes
Five Shots at Morgan.
Some time ago a man, whose name
is not given, took five shots at James
Morgan in a cabin on the claim of
Morgan & company. No one was in
jured but the Gateway correspondent
in Fairbanks writes to say that it
was in the very same cabin Bob Dunn
shot Ebling dead four years ago.
Dunn is now doing time in the peni
tentiary. Ebling was the brother-in
law of James Morgan, the man now
attacked.

ANCHORAGE MAY
GO WITHOUT LIGHTS.
0. C. Meyers, engineer in the Cor
dova light plant, arrived last night
from a trip to Anchorage. He has
been over there about two weeks and
says that the weather for the most
part has been fine. While over there
on a pleasure trip, Mr. Meyers took
an interest in the way things were
going, especially the light plans. He
says that the prospects for having
electric lights at Anchorage this win
ter are very few. The thing is up in
the air. The commission there does
not know whether they have the right
to install light plants, and private
parties are afraid to enter the field.
Mr. Meyers will leave for his home
in Cordova on the Admiral Evans.
