NEW CONKS FUG
BITTER RELIEF DEBATE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. (JP) _
Unemployment relief legislation
runs through forecasts for the next
Congress with such shuttlelike re
gularity it seems likely to burst
noisily into early discussions.
I The long-range planning program
for federal construction has just
swung into operation, but the of
ficial in charge believes it will not
affect conditions in the third win
ter of distress.
The most vociferously praised
and berated prospect—a federal ap
propriation for relief—likely will be
sponsored by advocates of a fund
as high as $100,000,000.
Some administration supporters
already are girding for a battle
against such move. Senator Watson
of Indiana, the republican leader
in the senate, said “of course” he
| would oppose it, unless he were
| shown people were starving or
freezing.
FILLETING INDUSTRY !
ADDS TO PAYROLL
J. E. Berg, of the Marlyn Fish
Company of Ketchikan, has con
tracted with a second trap, that
! of Pete Miller on Patterson island,
near Prince of Wales island, and;
has added 10 men to the 25 work
ing in the fish house of the Ket
chikan Cold Storage Company fil
leting fish for the Atlantic coast
fisheries.
Observers, watching the busy
scene on the fish floor, constant
ly remark on the fine condition
of the salmon as they are sliced
clear of bones by expert workmen
and made ready for the freezer.
A side “industry” is created from
the “waste fish.” Residents are
taking advantage of the opportun
ity to salt down “bellies” in kegs
! for winter food, reports the Chron
ic icle.
86-YEAR-OLD HILL-CLIMBER
Not satisfied with driving an,
-automobile almost daily over the
Tongass highway from his place
to town, and doing a man’s work
about his greenhouse and farm,;
Captain Eric Forss, 86-year-oid
Ketchikan resident, climbed Deer
mountain. He made the distance
from tidewater to above the clouds
1 nearly 3,000 feet, in 3’2 hours,
says the Chronicle. j*

FROM* THE MINES
The value of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc produced from ore
mined in the state of Washington in
1930 was about $349,200 as compared
with $552,233 in 1929 according to
the Denver Mining Record. There
were increases in the quantities of
recovered gold and lead but de
creases were reported in the out
put of silver, copper and zinc. A
general decrease was recorded in
the value of . all metals but gold, due i
largely to the decrease in the aver
age metal prices of silver, copper, ■
lead and zinc.
NEW PROBLEM
Whether the o 1 d Territorial
hatchery building is to become an j
asset or “white elephant” to Ket
chikan was a question which was
discussed but not decided at a
regular meeting of that city’s
council recently, says the Chron
icle. The possibility of using part i
of the building for drying fire j
hose, for additional warehouse!
purposes, as a city auditorium,!
community building, or rented i
quarters, were all touched upon.!
