LOCAL INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES
In an effort to stimulate local industry and especial
ly such industrise which may be started in a small way,
The Gateway has been pointing the way in these columns
the last few days, dwelling particularly on shrimp, clam
and crab meat packing. The following is from the files of
the late Dr. John N. Cobb, Director, College of Fisheries,
University of Washington, devoted to crab packing:
IIIIIIMIIflllll
flllllHIItllllll
Some packers kill crabs by cutting their throat with a
knife and allowing them to be bled thoroughly. The majori
ty, however, put them ajjye in fresh water which has pre
viously been brought to a jumping boil and in which has
been dissolved one pound of bicarbonate of soda to 25
pounds of crabs. Here they are cooked for about 20 min
utes (the length of time varies somewhat with the size of
the crab, the larger ones requiring longer time than the
small ones,) after which they are taken out, washed in cold
water, and allowed to cool.
The back shell is first removed, when the body is wash
ed under a stream of water. The meat is then removed
from the crab, care being taken to see that-none of it comes
in contact with wood, after which it is washed in cold one
per cent brine (one pound of salt to 12*4 gallons of water,)
drained, and pressed to remove excess moisture. It is then
packed in cans lined all around with parchment paper
(some use cans which in addition have been enameled on
the inside, but this is not absolutely necessary), with the
addition of enough salt to flavor. Claw meats should be
packed at the bottom and top of the can and the center
filled with body meat.
The tops are then put on loosely and the earns exhaust
ed for about eight minutes at 212o F. The tops are then
sealed, the cans put back in the retort and given a cook for
40 minutes at 15 pounds pressure for one-half pound cans.
The cans are generally cooked in the retort before removal.
Some canners insist that it is neeessary to lay the cans on
their side while being cooked.
iitiimiiimii imimiiiiiiiii
Anyone, with a small hand-canning outfit, can put
a few cases of either crab shrimp or clams each week to
sell on the local market at a price greater than a daily
wage. The initial investment will be very small but the re
turns, according to the energy behind the effort, may far
exceed one’s hopes.
Watch for the fourth article in tomorrow’s issue.
To the outgoing City Council we bid adieu with
thanks for their community work of the past year; to the
new incoming council members, elected by the majority
at yesterday’s polls, we bid them welcome with the wish
the coming year will ripple by as calmly as the last.
Thus far, prospective agriculturists brought up to
Alaska from the States by the Alaska Railroad at a cost
running into thousands of dollars, take one look at the
country, turn about and beat it back to the Outside. In i
about two years we doubt if there are more than 15 new
colonists who have stuck. Personally, we don’t like the!
idea buying people to come up. We believe those thous
ands of dollars should be spent toward opening up the
mineral resources; let the farmers follow.
The maxim that to him that hath shall be given,
finds many applications. The teeming population of In
dia, often elbowing itself in an attempt to maintain
life, has increased more than 30,000,000 in 10 years.
England may well bestir herself in an effort to provide
better rule for this rapidly growing branch of her large
family.
An Alaskan returning home the. other day remark
ed ^in commenting about the struggle people are under-!
going in the States to exist, said “any Alaskan who kicks
about hard-times up here ought to be shot.”
H ‘EM (NO WEEP!
Brownell, Manthey, Meyers, Stan
ton and Sullivan on the school
board, were the choice of the maj
ority of Seward voters at yester
day’s annual municipal election.
jEach received flattering majorities.
MM
The heavy clouds hanging over
the town last night was cigar smoke
from campaign cigars given away
by successful candidates after the
election returns; not before.

“Fathers” to remember one thing,
to furnish cushions next year.
LIST OF MIMS
TO QUIT LONELY ISLE
j PWLLHELI, Wales, April 8. (fP) —
! The little island of Bardsey.. at the
tip of the South Caernavonshire
coast, is soon to be evacuated.
Life on the island is dull and the
inhabitants have tired of their sol
itary existence. And the young
! people wouldn’t remain on the is
land; they wanted to “see life.”
J The four farmers probably will
move to the mainland. The pastor
and his wife will leave in April.
According to announcement made
today by officials of the Purple
Bubble Ball, the date for its pre
sentation has been set for Satur
day, April 18.

GHANDI SEND SIX DELEGATES
KARACHI, India, April 7. (JP)—
Mahatma Ghandi and members of
the Indian nationalist cabinet de
cided to limit their delegation to
the second round table conference
to six. Under an agreement with
Lord Irwin they were to be allowed
15 delegates.
Death claimed another Alaska
oldtimer when Maurice Roach, 72
| years of age, and a resident of Al
| aska for 30 years, reached the end
j of his earthly trail at Fairbanks re
| cently, according to the News
! Miner.
SPOKE IN FRENCH
Major R. R. Markoe, Juneau pho
I tographer, who has spent the great
!er part of his life traveling over
jthe civilized world, gave a short
| but interesting talk before the
French class of the Juneau High
School recently. He spoke in French
for a few minutes, testing the lin
guistic ability of the pupils, says the
Stroller’s Weekly.
