POOR FISHING
The fishing boats Mayflower and
Bavaria have returned from fish- J
ing in the Sawmill Bay region. They ;
report that very little fish was
caught in that area this season ow
ing to the rough weather. It is said
that many of the fishermen there
will actually “go in the hole” from
their Sawmill Bay venture this year.
The Mayflower, Capt. John Ros
ness, arrived in port Saturday.
CRACKUNGS WILL
BE PROVIDED TO
NATION'S NEEDY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. — Pork
chops, bacon and cracklings for
the jobless. That was approved the
other day by President Roosevelt.
The hogs will be among the 5,000,
000 slaughtered under the Agricul
ture Department proposal to let
farmers kill the porkers they can
not feed and thus increase the val
ue of those that are left.
The federal relief administration
is “aiming for the distribution of
the meat.” Finally the sums will be
paid the sums yet to be anounced
for the hogs they slaughtered.
It is said that the meat packers
will be placed to work to process
and distribute the meat to the
needy.
The Standard Oil Company’s oil
tanker, the MS. Alaska Standard,
arrived in port Sunday and dis
charged a cargo of case oil and
pump oil for the local headquarters
plant. The tanker left last evening.
