SELMA'S POPULATION
FLUCTUATES WITH THE
NUMBER FISH BOATS
“Since you ask me what is the approx
imate population of Seldovia these
days in all fairness I must answer
you in this wise. If you ask a Seldo
vian he will probrably tell you around
1,200; then again an Anchorage res
ident might place it at perhaps 300
or 400 hundred. You can draw your
own conclusion from these figures,’
remarked Adam Lipke, proprieter of
the radio station at the bustling Inlet
metropolis.
“Our population fluctuates with the
rise and fall of the fishing season and
•so perhaps both Seldovians and some
of the Anchorage guesses may be ab
solutely correct. When you total up
the number of men working on the
fishing boats, and sometimes there
are 50 to 60 of these in the near vicin
ity of Seldovia each with four, five
and six men on board, the gross Is
rather surprising.”
“One of the finest things which has
happened to us,” Mr. Lipke continued,
“was the extension of the herring
fishing season. But to go back aways;
on the 25th of August there had been
an approximate 3,000 barrels of her
ring packed by the entire companies.
During the month of September not a
barrel was packed. In fact it was not
until October 15, just a few days ago,
on the day the season came to a halt
and the extension until November 10
was received, that the fish began to
show up and within a period of two
days about 5,000 barrels were packed.
The weather had also been excep
tionally bad, blowing and snowing and
very rough but now conditions have
reversed and a general prosperity
among the packers is assured. Fortu
nately that is one thing Seldovia can
rightly boast of, that is, it has never
known a ish failure.”
Fish authorities claimed recently
that over in Halibut Cove they saw
a huge amount of halibut spawn, the
largest amount ever witnessed in the
history of fishing on the Inlet, and
this they asserted was an extremely
i favorable indication that there would
i be ample herring.
