WHALES CUT HOG DEMAND
It may sound strange, but it is nevertheless true
that the growing whale industry is having an adverse ef
fect upon the demand for hogs. In several foreign coun
tries whale oil is being used for making margarine, there
by reducing the market for American lard.
One large packing company reports that the pro
duction of whale oil has increased 300 per cent in the
the last four years, and now equals one-half of all the
lard produced in the United States. This has been due
to the discovery of a process whereby the fishy taste of
whale oil may be removed, making it more palatable as
human food.
So another new Alaska industry is in the offing pro
viding one wants to take a chance and who knows “big
butter and egg men from Alaska” may some day be real.
To supply this vast quantity of oil, about 30,000
whales were killed last year, each yielding more than
100 barrels on an average, there being 400 pounds of oil
to the barrel. In modem whaling the animals are killed
b yan explosive carried by a harpoon fired from a gun,
and the carcass is reduced to oil, fertilizer and canned
meat by a large ship on the spot equipped for the pur
pose. Whale meat is not very desirable for food, but on
account of its cheapness it is used in some Oriental
countries and in the Arctic.
The use of whale oil in the United States is confined
largely to the manufacture of soap and lubricants, none
being used here for margerine making. But in foreign
markets the whale is becoming a real competitor of the
American hog.
Seward, with its great possibilities, furnishes ines
timable chances for the average citizen to enhance his
or her material status in life and to those who take ad
vantage of Seward’s opportunities there is opened up
the magnificesce of the great Kenai Peninsula and West
ward regions, abounding in fish, game, gold and land
attractions that in the contemplation arouses in the
breast of the homesteader the most enthusiastic and
possessive spirit.
************
According to a canvas made in a high school, one
quarter of the boys and girls drank. This looks badly on
its face, but not so badly when it is understood that half
of the parents were drinkers.Considering the effect and
power of example, the boys and girls did not make so
poor a showing, after all.
************
The City of Seward and The Gateway have one
thing in common, about a $75 bank roll to start the year
off.
************
Tell me the favorite pastime of a people and I’ll tell
you whether they are facing the darkness or the dawn—
whether they are climbing out the rugged mount of
Knowledge or descending into the vale of ignorance,
where slavery and superstition sit enthroned.—
************
The wealth of the United States amounts to about
$3,000 per head. If you believe that it is distributed
strictly on this basis, however, try to use the per capita
wealth argument in the collection of an old bill.
************
Announcement 7,986: Unsigned communications, of
whatever nature, find the wastebasket. Be sure to sign
your name if you expect to see it in print. If you are
ashamed to do so, don’t write.
************
The East is old, the West is new and there is no
part of the Great West that is newer than the the is
lands adjacent to Seward.
************
There is no truth in the report an Alaskan police
man, on a salary of $3,000 a year, banked $35,000 in
two years. It happened in New York.
SITUATION SPAIN'S
THRONE LOOKS BAD
JESULTELECT1
KING ALFONSO HAS THREE
POSSIBLE COURSES OF
ACTION
MADRID, Spain, April 14. (A5)—
King Alfonso is considering what
action the government will take
in the situation which is gravely
threatening the throne and which
was brought about by the repub
lican victory at the municipal el
ections.
King Alfonso was to decide at
a cabinet meeting whether he will
accept the resignations of the
three cabinet members which were
tendered him.
Group leaders formally demanded
Alfonso recognize the Spanish Re
public. Qualified observers said
the King had three possible
courses of action; one is to con
tinue ruling the district until the
parliamentary election and this
will probably lead to a republic;
the second is to establish another
dictatorship and this will probably
mean a general strike and revo
lution or civil war; three, is to
abdicate.
