THE UNBEATABLE MAN
Commenting on hard times, a subscriber makes this
observation:
“We are all up against it (financially) at the present
time; no sale for any kind of fish, but even we are far
better off than the millions of unemployed in the States.
We can live on the products of the country by violating
the numerous (bureaucratic) laws and prohibition. If
they put us in jail for it they’ll have to feed us, so why
worry about it?”
Herein is contained a sermon, even though it is so j
rawT the hair still clings to it and blood is dripping.
That sort of a man might brew a little hootchinoo,
snipe a moose in summer or net a salmon in a creek, but
he will not pilfer his neighbor’s cache, nor steal his wife, j
Some of the loafers who hang around the towns
might take a tip from this homespun sermon.

ious Alaska papers.

A resolution requesting that the
New England Fish company “r e
tract” certain statements made in
a trade letter sent out by M. C.
Kenney of the New York office was
introduced at a recent meeting of
the Ketchikan Chamber of Com
merce. The controversy appears
to be over the text of a letter in :
which “The New England Fish Co
opened the town of Ketchikan as
a fishing port 25 years ago. It is
necessary to pack fish two days
prior to shipment; being in cold
storage two days previous to ship
ment the fish fade quickly. It is
impractical to ship carload lots of
fresh halbut from Ketchikan t o
the East.”
