Order some of this better milk. Nothing makes such
smooth cream soups and sauces, such delicious candy,
cocoa, ice cream. It’s splendid for creaming coffee, fruits,
and cereals. Most economical. And there’s no milk that’s
more nourishing for babies, or easier to digest.

FISHERIES SATISFACTORY
The Alaska salmon fisheries this
year are in a very satisfactory
condition, evidencing substantial
improvement over preceding cycle
years, declared Henry O’Malley,
United States Commissioner of
Fisheries, in summing up his view
of the current situation while in
Juneau recently, says the Empire.
t
Forty thousands pounds of fish,
which could not be sold to can
neries or fresh fish buyers in Ket
chikan, were thrown into Ketchi
kan bay *by the fishermen. The
heavy run of fish has swamped
the canneries and all other fish
i handling plants, reports the Ket
jcrikan Chronicle.

SUN HON
IS IN ASSURED FACT
Declaring that the fisheries of
Southeast Alaska are apparently
in excellent condition so far as
he could judge from personal ob
servation in several of the areas
and learn from personal contact
with fishermen and other local
residents, Senator Wallace M.
White expressed gratification at
the situation, just before leaving
Juneau for Seattle on the Fish
eries vessel Brant.
“I am confident that Commis
sioner Henry O’Malley of the Unit- j
ed States Bureau of Fisheries, has!
solved your salmon conservation!
problem and is rapidly restoring,
the runs to normal size,” Senator
White said.
As the author of the present
Alaska Fisheries Law, popularly
known as the White Act of 1924,
the Senator has said he is more
than casually interested ;n the
Territory’s fisheries resources and
the industry that is built up around
them, reports the Juneau Empnire.
He saw well-filled streams, large
numbers of salmon on the beds
and the main run of pink salmon
still coming in from the ocean. He
visited canneries which were op
erating at capacity and still un
able to clear their bins.
Records of the Bureau of Fish
eries show the take and escape
ment this year, the off cycle year,
to be larger than in 1927. While
so far this season, there has been
no great surplus of fish, the runs 1
have been good and apparently in
sure an adequate seeding of the
beds for the next cycle in 1933. 1

HUSHING CURRENT
RETURN TO PROSPERITY
One of the most hopeful signs
for the future of the Territory is
the return to prospecting for and
developing of gold properties now
being manifested, declared W. A.
Hesse, Territorial highway engi
neer, who returned to Juneau re
cently from a two and one-half *
months’ inspection trip that car
ried him as far north as Seward
Peninsula.
“While it cannot be said that
conditions are rosy any place I
have been able to visit, this mani
festation of activity in the gold
mining industry is very encourag
ing,” Mr. Hesse said in the Ju
neau Empire.
“Development work in the Wil
low Creek district is particularly
encouraging, and there is more
activity in gold lode properties in
ihe Fairbanks district than there
lias been for a great many years,
rhe yield from lodes there is the
greatest in the history of that
lamp.
“Nine gold dredges are in opera
tion in the Fairbanks region. The
irospects are bright there for a
successful season.”
