LOCAL INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY
Waiting for Tom, Dick and Harry to start some- j
thing is about the slowest method toward progress, indi-!
vidually or for a community, that we can think of. And
especially so when a small industry is practically within
the reach of anyone with sufficient ambition and energy.
The Gateway has reference to hand canning of fish,
shrimp, clams and crabs. All are in abundance in Resur
retion Bay, sufficient at least, for any number of small
outfits. Take the shell fish, for instance; a couple of cases!
per week almost equals a week’s wages. And the product
could be sold locally.
Forget a large plant and big initial investment; a
few dollars will start anyone up in this business; and
they will prosper, too, providing they are in earnest.
The Gateway is in receipt from the Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries, Washington, D. C.
instructions, compiled by experts, in home canning of
meats and sea foods. The Gateway fervently hopes there
will be sufficient interest and ambition aroused that a i
number of residents will boldly step out and institute
such industries. The first of these authentic instructions,
of shrimp canning, follows:
Shrimp should be used when absolutely fresh, as they j
deteriorate very quickly. They may be peeled or left with I
the shell on until cooked. In either way they are boiled in
salt water, one pound of salt to a gallon of water. Do not
put shrimp into the water until it is boiling. If to be pack
ed wet, boil from five to six minutes. If they are not peeled
before boiling, drain through a colander and sprinkle with
salt. This will harden the meat and they can be more eas
ily peeled. Shrimp should be packed into inside lacquered j
tin cans and may be packed wet or dry.
Wet pack—After shrimp are boiled and peeled pack
into cans and fill with a weak brine to within one-half an
inch from the top of the can. (Brine: One level teaspoon '
of salt to a quart of boilng water). Cap. exhaust five min- '
utes, tip and process:
No. 1 cans—12 to 15 minutes at 240o F. or 10 pounds
steam pressure.
No. 2 cans 20 to 30 minutes at 240o F. or 10 pounds
steam pressure.
Dry pack.—After shrmip are boiled and peeled, as
above mentioned, pack dry in cans, adding no liquid. Cap,
exhause eight minutes, tip and process:
No. 1 cans—60 minutes at 240o P. or 10 pounds of
steam pressure.
No. 2 cans—90 minutes at 240o F. or 10 pounds of
steam pressure.
Note.—In case inside-lacquered can cannot be had, the
shrimp can be put up in ordinary tin cans lined with
parchment paper at sides, bottom and top. They may also
be put up in small glass jars.
Drying shrimp.—After shrimp are boiled and peeled
as above stated, they may be spread on cheese-cloth over
the wire bottom of the evaporating trays and dried at a
temperature of from llOo P. to 150o P. When thoroughly
dry they may be packed in dry, clean glass jars, or in parch
ment paper lined boxes.
Speaking of railroad passenger rates compare these
and give it a momenta thought: Minneapolis to Seattle, a
distance of 1,800 miles, $40. Seward to Fairbanks, a dis
tance of approximately 400 miles, $47.05. What the 5c is
for we do not profess to know.
The birth of twin daughters to Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Henry Vanderbilt of Rhode Island last week was no
surprise to the parents. Their arrival had been forecast
several weeks before, not by an astrologer or soothsay
er, but by the more scientific X-ray.
The latest and most recherche vagary of fashion
blossomed in Seward yesterday, Easter which bowed in
Spring with sunny skies, singing birds, blooming flowers
and warm temperatures.
Editor Gateway, Seward, Alaska,
April 6, 1931, Dear sir:
I appreciated your invitation to
Candidates to use the columns of
The Gateway, and wish to take ad
vantage of it again to reaffirm my
original declaration:
I believed the majority of the i
voters were not entirely satisfied j
with the administration of town j
business, especially lately, and it
was apparent there was a desire
for a change in some quarters. I be
lieved a new man, injecting new
blood into town affairs, would be
acceptable under the circumstances.
Always having an ambition to be
elected to public office I decided
there was no better time than this
coming election to learn what the
voters think of my qualifications;
and so I am a candidate for Mayor,
awaiting the will of the voters to
morrow.
I say again that no clique or
person “pusuaded” me to run, or
even suggested that I run. I have
asked no one to work for me, nor
have I made any promises. I de
clared my intention three weeks
before election so as to give the vot
ers plenty of time to consider my
application, and make their deci
sion.
I believe there is an ISSUE at the
present time, and therefore, if
elected, I pledge myself to the fol
lowing platfofm:
1st: That at all times I will
conduct the Office of Mayor in
harmony with the will of the
Majority, and NOT for any indi
vidual or faction.
2nd: That so far as possible I
will see that the people know
BEFOREHAND proposed action
by the Council so that they may
express their opinion.
3rd: That before final action
is taken on the Hospital question
I shall call a public meeting in
the Theater where all facts re
lating to the subject will be pre
sented, and an opportunity given
for all to voice their opinion.
4th: That I shall conduct the
Council meeting in an orderly
manner, without prejudice or
favor, and with no thought of
dominance.
There is a good registraton and
no doubt a big vote will be cast.
Those elected will know they have
the Majority behind them. Those
defeated should be cheerfully sat
isfied.
And so, I await your choice to
morrow.
