PORT ALEXANDER TO
i BE SET OUT FOREST
RESERVE, IS STATED
The elimination of Port Alexander
at. the entrance to Chatham Straits, on
Baranof Island, from the Tongass Nat
ional Forest, has been recommended
|by the Secretary of Agriculture to the
[secretary of the Interim*, on favorable
|advice submitted by the-office of the
l U. S. Forest Service, it was announced
j in the Empire. There is not the least
doubt hut that the recommendation
will be approved by Secretary of the
Interior Work, the PTmpire reports.
This action has been taken for the
reason that it is believed the Port Al
exander settlement has developed to
the point where it has become an es
tablished community.
Port Alexander is one of the largest
fishing centers in Southeastern Alas
ka. According to reports made be
tween 500 and 700 fishing vessels use
j the Port as a base six months of the
year. Inhabitants of the place estim
ate that during a normal fishing year,
in excess of 5,000,000 pounds of king
and cohoe salmon are taken.
The summer population of Port Al
exander is said to be from 1,000 to
1,200 persons.
The Standard Oil Co., and the Union
Oil Co., have large stations in the
Port and it is understood the General
Petroleum Corporation will construct
and operate a station next year.
Three floating fishing salteries are
operated each fishing season.
There is a church in the settlement
and six general stores, six restaurants,
three bakeries, one meat shop, two
barber shops, three pool rooms and
numerous residences.
