FUTURE MEAT SUPPLY
Within 50 years the principal source of the world’s
meat supply will not be cattle, but reindeer from. Alast
ka, Canada and Siberia, in the opinion of ,\ llhjahnu
Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer _
He gives several reasons for his prediction, an mi
portant one being the economy in raising reindeer, w Men
live on grass in summer and on lichens and bushes in
winter. Besides, reindeer meat may be kept in natural
cold storage in the far North until it is desired to ship
it out, either during the summer months via Bering Sea
or during the winter months over the Alaska Railroad
to the ocean terminal, the Port of Seward.
Another reason for the predicted decline of cattle
as a food source is the increase of tuberculosis, which
is making serious inroads on the Argentine herds, and
threatens American herds also.
And the possibility of having to eat reindeer meat
is nothing to be alarmed about, Stefansson informed
the wide world, as its taste is little different from beef.
Whatever else may be said of the Congression
al Record, it is generally quite free from typograph
ical errors. But a proofreader let a slip a few days
ago, as a result of which a member was quoted against
‘The high cost of loving.”
Ambassador Dawes went down to Santo Domingo
and showed them how to revise their fiscal system
and save a two million dollar annual deficit by firing
a number of useless governmental employees. Now, if
he could be turned loose at Washington, the treasury
could declare a dividend.
Judge Gemmil of Chicago declares that alimony
is America’s greatest curse. But the Judge, you know, is
a man.
GOOD OLD DAYS
Elbert Hubbard—God rest his soul—was a man
who spoke right out in meetin’. One time he told about
a little old saloon on Pennsylvania avenue in Washing
ton that had an alley entrance. At some times of the day,
he said, you could find justices of the supreme court,
senators and members of the cabinet standing at the
old bar, calling the bartender by his first name and
betting a dollar down and a doliar to go on the terrier
catching the next rat. Elbert said the judges and sen
ators moved whole sections of case whiskey in order to
give the terrier a chance.
Blondes blush more than brunettes, according to a
scientific investigator. But that doesn’t necessarily
mean that'blondes blush an awful lot.
Archbishop Usher’s figures showed that the world
was created in 4004 B. C. A famous British physicist
says it is three billion years older than that. What is
your guess?
An eminent geologist says the world is in the pro
cess of redistribution of precious and other metals thru
wear and tear, and that a million years hence Mother
Earth is due to resemble them. Think of the rich digg
ing^ the sourdoughs of 1,000,001,919 will find where
Broadway once flowed.

GREAT SALMON

KODIAK ISLAND

DISTRICT SHOULD PRODUCE
BETTER THAN HALF
MILLION, SEASON
KODIAK, July 23. (Special to
the Gateway)—Jubilation reigns !
at Kodiak as thousands of sal- i
mon continue * to pour into the j
chutes of the Kodiak Fisheries!
cannery here where a gloom was,
so prevalent last season.
The cannery tender Minnie B
| and Freda come in daily laden;
to the ‘gunnels’ and the plant j
i hums with activity with a large |
force of men, women, girls and
boys extremely busy putting up
the succulent tidbit of the sea
Seventeen thousand cases is
the pack here to date and the in
dications are that the record
for the season wil be better than
for several years past. To date
this season far outshines last i
season and since Kodiak lives
mostly from the sea a feeling of
well-being permeats the atmo
sphere.
Reports are not available from
'.the other 16 canneries included
; in what might be called the Ko
! diak district. At Three Saints
Bay the runs seem to be good
while on the other side of the
(island at Karluk it does not ap
pear so good. :
However, according to Max
Kreilsheimer, heaviest stockhold
| er in the Kodiak Fisheries here
as well as canneries at Shear
water, who was a recent visitor here
I after a trip around the island,
| the district should produce better
than half a million cases this
season Mr. Sparen, superinten
I dent of the local plant is also
| pleased with the outlook.
