SEWARD’S FOLLY WINS AGAIN
Once again Seward High School has won national
acclaim in competition against all schools in every terri
tory under the American flag.
* Seward school was notified in the last mail that for
the third consecutive year, Seward’s Folly, the monthly
school paper, has been awarded first honors.
Oftimes, in small towns, the fact is lost sight of that
in its midst are budding genius’s, many whose talents
are really appreciated to the fullest extent until nat
ional recognition comes. Every person in Seard should
be proud of the Seward school for their achievement
To Editor-in-Chief C^erine Horton, Managing Ed
itor Edwin Sandbeck, Faculty Adviser Mrs. C. E. Ander
son, other members of the Folly staff, and to contrib
utors of news items and articles, The Gateway extends
its heartiest congratulations; we’re mighty proud of you.
LOCAL INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Continuing further information relative to local in
dustries which can be promulgated in a small way, the fol
lowing quotes the late John N. Cobb, Director of Fish
eries, University of Washington, in Pacific Fisherman,
Vol. XIX, N°. 6, for June, 1921, p. 14, entitled “Canning
Crab and Shrimp (Pacific Coast). Yesterday The Gate
way published in this column, the Department of Com
merce recipe for packing shrimp meat:
Dr. Cobb's article and recipe on canning of crabs
will be published in tomorrow's issue.
•V *4* *1" *V •> »>
The College of Fisheries has carried out experiments on
a somewhat limited scale to determine the best methods to
be followed in canning the common Pacific crab (Cancer
magister) and shrimps and prawns. The crabs were ob
tained from Pugest Sound waters, while all the shrimps
and prawns were obtained in Alaska, except one lot which
came from Puget Sound. The first crab experiment was with
crustaceans which had already been boiled by the fisher
men, while the second was with live crabs. The shrimps and
prawns from Alaska had been boiled and the meats ex
tracted, packed in 5-pound cans, sealed, but the contents
not processed. They had been shipped down in the steam
er’s cold Storage room and were stored in a local cold stor
age house upon arrival here and until used. The lot of
shrimps from Puget Sound had been boiled but not shelled.
As these experiments were not on a scale sufficient to
determine definitely every phase of the problem, owing to
the difficulty encountered in obtaining live crutaceans, the
experiments of others have been incorporated with these
in order that they may be published in time for use this
season. The author's book on "The Canning ot Fishery
Products" has also been drawn upon.
The Alaska Railroad raises rates and Alaska legisla
tors at Juneau attempting to raise taxes. But not a
thought, from many of them, as to development of the
Territory's manifold resources. Why don't they try
to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry law? Why not memoralize
Congress to remove the leasing system so that title may
be obtained? This latter suggestion is the key-point of the
entire Alaska non-progressiveness.
About a year ago 250 men were laid off by the Alas
ka Railroad. For years the majority of them had drawr
down fair wages; most of them saved what little thej
were able but few invested a dime in Alaska. When dis
charged the greater portion of the 250 went Outside
For months past many of those 250 have been writing tc
friends, lodges ,etc., to send them money to come back
Moral—Stay in Alaska where one really lives.
Again we say, Alaska needs hundredis of thousand:
of those poor people in the States who struggle 365 day:
in each year to reek out a bare existence. Let them conn
to Alaska, penniless or with money.
BRISTOL BIT FISHERY 1
DISCUSSED B1 Ml
Conversations between Japanese
industrialist representatives of the
floating crab canning industry of
[that country and officials of the
American embassy at Tokyo are evi
dently taking place with respect to
| the fisheries of Bristol Bay, Alaska,
j says the Pacific Fisherman.
From fragamentary advices re
ceived it would appear that the
Japanese have offered to guarantee
that they will not undertake ex
ploitation of the salmon runs of
Bristol Bay in exchange for certain
concessions such as the right to
land canned crab at Alakan ports
for shipment to the United States.
