CANNERYMEN WILL CO-OPERATE
Exhibiting a spirit contrary to that of the prejudiced
and oft-expressed opinion that the cannery interests of
Alaska are not interested in ite internal affairs was shown
Saturday when a group of high officials of big canneries
to the Westward, asked Secretary Hannon of the Cham
ber of Commerce in what manner could they co-operate
in securing the construction of ten miles of road from
Iliamna Bay to Iliamna Village, at the same time express
ing a desire to be identified with any movement looking
to the securing of this needed improvement Among these
officials are W. Timson, president of the Alaska Packers;
Dave W. Branch, general manager, Libby, McNeil & Lib
by; H. B. Friele, general manager of the Nakat Bay Pack
ing company, and C. P. Hale, president of the Alaska
Salmon company and the Bristol Bay Canning company.
In the opinion of the spokesman of the group the Ili
amna road is a vital necessity in that it will enable all
those having business in Bristol Bay or the country con
tiguous thereto to have access and egress during summer
and winter, now that a regularly established line of trans
portation is in operation to Iliamna Bay, instead of being
compelled to take the circuitious route by water through
Unimak Pass only in summer when the bay is free from
ice. Without this direct transportation by water to Ili
amna Bay, the cannery officials would have been com
pelled to have taken the long water route or used an air
plane, which was contemplated until they discovered that
the little motorship Discoverer offered comfort and speed
to Iliamna Bay. They used this route to travel to Bristol
Bay this week.
The most significant feature of the action of the ean
nerymen in approaching Secretary Hannon lies in the
fact that for some time reports have come from the Bris
tol Bay region, based on purest speculation and without
supporting evidence, to the effect that the cannery offi
cials were opposed to the road project.
“No one would welcome the roadway more than the
cannerymen,” was the way the spokesman of the party
put it, “and if there is anything we can do to co-operate
with Seward and the people of Iliamna to secure the early
building of the road, we are only too glad to contribute our
efforts.”
It oftentimes occurs that lack of acquaintance and a
tendency on behalf of many to hold aloof creates unjusti
fied prejudices between classes. In all likelihood had the
prejudices built up by designing politicians been set aside
and the cannerymen approached in a spirit of co-opera
tion many of the fancied differences between the people
of the Territory and the cannery interests would have dis
solved under the influence of understanding and mutual
good will.
The present is a splendid moment to grasp the hand
of friendship extended, and Seward will be the first to give
assurances to the cannerymen that it is above the petty
bickerings of politicians.
There might be those who would have wished to oc
cupy the spotlight playing upon Colonel Lindbergh in his
great welcome, but who would not have surrendered it for
that of the wonderful mother who was the creator of the
greatest hero of modern American history, clothed as she
was in the brilliant halo of the very essence of American
traditions — the old-fashioned, God-fearing American
mother!
About the only excuse the editors can offer today is
that all the news is up in the air.
Now the movies are advertising for village beauties
to replenish their depleted casts. What’s the matter,
have most of the old ones gone back to dealing off the
arm?
Who can remember the days when he held a calf by
both ears while mother milked the cow?
LONG CORTEGE IN PROCESSION;
LAID TO REST IN MASONIC
PLOT
—
The depth of respect the communi
ty held for Bernard Anton Horton,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Horton,
who died Saturday, was signified by
the large attendance at the beautiful
funeral service held yesterday after
noon at the Methodist church and
also by the large gathering of friends
of the departed boy, men, women and
children, at the grave service.
A touching sermon and prayer
(were offered by the Reverend T. P.
Graham with the Jesse Lee Home
girls forming the choir, singing in
sweet voices. The handsome casket
was entirely surrounded by beautiful
floral offerings, and at one end the
Stars and Stripes draped upright.
To the right of the casket were
grouped Bernie’s Boy Scout^ comrad
es. On the opposite side of the cas
ket other Boy Scouts stood at atten
tion. At the conclusion of the ser
vic the attendance, which had occu
pied every seat and standing room in
the church, slowly passed by Bernie
paying their last respects to the de
parted youth.
The pall bearers then gently and
slowly carried the casket to the
hearse, and, followed by the immedi*.
ate family and the pall bearers in
two cars, the procession of at
least 25 cars wended their way to
the Seward cemetery where, with
hats doffed in a down—pour of rain,
all gathered around the grave in the
Masonic plot while Reverend Graham
preached the grave service.
Bernie was born in the city of
Cristobal, Panama Zone, March 7,
1911. He died near Seward June 18.
1927 at the age of 16 years, three
months and 11 days old. Besides
his mother and father, Bernard
leaves one brother, Henry, four sis
ters Magda, Catherine, Annie and
Frances, besides other relatives and
many friends to mourn his untimely
passing.
Pall bearers: Gus Manthev, Andy
Novak, Harold Painter, Irvo Dyer,
Leonard Hopkins, Robert Willis.
Honorary pa'll bearers:Howard Sef
erovich, Jack Rosness, Edward Man
they, Raymond Manthey, Otto Sand
beck, Edward Sandbeck.

FISH RING BELL TELLING
COOK REDDY FOB THE PAN
—
If
Making a fish ring his own death
knell smatters somewhat of the cus
tom that once prevailed of compelling
the condemned criminal to ride on his
own coffin, but when such a procedure
saves a lot of time and uncertainty,
not to mention giving novelty it gets
by, according to Nellie (Neil) Lawing,
who was a visiotr to Seward today
from her tourist resort on Lake Kenai.
Nellie has rigged an ingenious ar
rangement whereby she proceeds to
get ready for cooking a meal and can
tell to the second when to put on the
fry pan for a fine lake trout, caught
opposite her door. A hook and line is
cast into the lake and the line at
tached to a little bell fastened to the
hood of the cooking range. When
a fish is hooked he rings the bell. At
that instant Nellie reaches for the
1
fry pan and by the time Sir Trout is !
dressed, everything is ready for .cook
ing it.
Nellie says Ptarmigan creek is now ,
as clear as a crystal, for the first
time in many years, and that the rain- i
bows are barking at night daring fish
ermen to ruffle the surface with a fiy.
