If DEFENDS UPON SOURCE OE INFORMATION
Speaking before the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce, where the visiting Congressmen spent sufficient
time to partake of a sumptuous meal, anu listen to the
usual stereotyped platitudes, proffered in tne hope of
creating a good impression, Chairman Dickenson ox the
House sub-appropriations committee said that everyone
was satisfied with the administration of the federal
laws in Alaska.
Considering the source Mr- Dickenson received his
information, he w^as correct. The information did not
come from the people of Alaska, but from the Bureau
cratic chaperones who so timed the itinerary of the Con
gressional delegation that there was no time for them
to establish intimate personal contact with the public. !
Hardly had Mr. Dickenson’s words died away be-]
fore he received a memorial from 200 odd men suggest
ing improvement in the administration of the fur law.!
Had he lingered sufficient time, and had been detached
from his chaperones lpng enough to have attuned his
ear to an equal number of fishermen, cannerymen, gas
boatmen, and laborers connected with industry, he^
would have received vigorous complaint against the
mode of procedure of the bureaus, in arriving at over
night decisions.
But, as pointed out by the Gateway before the arri
val of the Congressional party, it was not intended that;
they should see or learn any more than the bureaucrats'
desired. In this respect the tour was all that could have
been wished.
Now if Mr. Dickenson and his associates could
slip back unawares, attend some of the open forums
where men are wont to gather, he might revise his opin
ion. In fact he would discover that the only ones satis
fied with the situation are those who represent the bu
reaus, and that his information came through prejudiced
sources.
There is one redeeming feature about the farm relief
bill. It is so filled wTith verbiage and technicalities that
the Rubens will not live long enough to discover under
which paragraph they have been “gypped.”

FISHERMEN ARE REFURNISH- j
ING EQUIPMENT FOR LAST
MONTH OF WORK
j KODIAK, Aug., 20. (Special to
Ithe Gateway)—In spite of the fact
that the west side of the island has
; disappointments, the Kodiak Sal
omon canning district as a whole
i has slightly exceeded the early sea
son estimate as to pack at the close
i of the first phase with a pack of
,500,000 cases. Before the entire
I season closes, it seems probable
that another 50,000 cases will be
I added to the total.
This information is not given out
by fisheries bureaus but has been
checked by reliable cannery men
and is authentic.
The Kodiak Fisheries with their j
nlants at Kodiak and Shearwater;
Bay, seem to lead the list with 84,- |
000 cases of which 52.000 were can- J
ned here, speaking of August 15th. J
Next in line are P. A. F., at Alitak
with 70,000; A. P. A., Olga Bay, 70,
000; San Juan at Uganik, with 40.- j
000; A. P. F., Lasson Bay, 36,000; P. j
A. F., Zacker Bay, 31,000; Trinity j
Packing. Three Saints Bay, 25,000; j
Crosby Fisheries, 25,000; Katmai j
Packing, 19,000; Kodiak Island F j
& P., 31,000; N. W. F., Uyak, 16,000; j
No. Pac. Fisheries, 12,000; Grimes’
Packing, Ouzinkie, 11,000: Shelikoff ;
Packing, 8,000; Paionreau Co., j
Raspberry Island, 1,200 and Hoge ;
plant, Blue Fox Bay estimated at !
near 1,000.
Kodiak has done much better
than last year but the plant here is
canable of handling more fish than
fell to their nets. On the whole,
bowpver it has been an excellent,
season for the so-called small fish
ermen. who up and down the east
and south sides of the island have j
averaged better than $600 per man !
for less than two months’ work and j
who have hopes of adding greatly j
to their income before the season j
closes. The herring possibilities :
are always in the offing and are :
being prepared for. Pinks and
chums have been the main catch
so far, but silvers are beginning to j
come in. All of the district fisher- I
men are refurnishing their gear
preparing for at least another
month of hard work.
