HAWAII PINEAPPLES VS. ALASKA BLUEBERRIES
As Hawaii became famous and waxed rich through its pineapple ;
exportations, perhaps Alaska could do likewise through its prolific '
blue Derry crop.
Anyone, blessed with sufficient “where-with-all” backed by ini
tiative can annually harvest Alaska’s abundant blueberry crop and can 1
it for the world marts. The luscious Alaska blueberry, with its delicious ,
flavor, supported by intelligent publicity and distributed through a na- ,
tional agency, could make dollars grow where only berries grew before. !
Directions could be sent to berry pickers as to cooking, shipping to I
a central packing plant where the product would be graded, labeled, ,
boxed and shippe dto the States.
thousands of cases of blueberries could be exported annually and
thousands of men. women and children would have an extra few
months work during the good old summer time. This idea, in other lines
of endeavor, such as berries, apples, oranges, etc-,—oh yes, also the
well known hops!—gives work to thousands in the States.
Besides supplying the world with blueberry pies, Alaska would find j
an over-ready market at ‘‘Fol!ywood” for the slapstick movie pictures.
Good for Cash Cole! A man after our own heart. The Territorial
Audtor filed for reelection with the slogan on his standard: “Ex
clusinn of all Federal officers from participating in Territorial affairs.”
That plank should elect him and no wonder the Federals hate Cole.
Explorers in Alaska are said to have discovered an unfinished
dam 19 billion. 299 million years, 6 months and two and one-half hours
old. Perhaps an ancient Muscle Shoals.
Many a poor prune wastes his time trying to knock off a political
plum

SEIM HI) ONE
of best ran
The Seward Airport hangar is
unquestionably one of the best, if
not the best, in Alaska, stated L.
McGee, of Barnhill & McGee Air
way, prior to taking off Wednes
day for Anchorage. Mr. McGee al
so said that as soon as the doors on
the hangar were in place, Pilot
Barnhill would immediately base a
plane here.
McGee also commented on the
exceptionally strong ceiling joists
in the local hangar which are am
ple for any sort of extra floor bur
den, especially in overhauling or
repairing planes.
“The contractors have done a
fine piece of building,” he added,
“and are certainly to be congratu
lated.
Alleging that Chas. G. Hubbard,
23, was dumped from a scow along
with rock and gravel, precipitat
ing him to death, his administra
tor has filed suit with the U. S
clerk of the Ketchikan court for
$10,000 against the Puget Sound
Bridge & Dredging company, re
ports the Ketchikan Chronicle.
HANGAR ABOUT DONE
About the middle of next week
should see all the work on the new
Seward hangar completed, provid
ing the weather does not go on a
rampage once again. High winds,
snow drifts and impassable roads
have delayed completion. Autos
may now negotiate the radio road.
Only the hanging of the doors in
the 40 x 12 doorway remains to be
done by the contractors.
Mannie Senft, who was operat
ed on a few days ago for appendi
citis in the Seward General Hospi
tal. is coming along as well as can
| be expected.
IT WAS COLD
DETROIT, Feb. 2- — When Paul
Lavonich, 23, was discharged from
prison he was throwm out into a
cold world. In fact, he thought it
so cold that he longed for his warm
prison cell again. Then Lavonich
picked up a brick and hurled it
through a window and awaited for
! the police to come and restore him
to his warm lodging in jail.
The Juneau radio club is waging j
a real war on interference.
