(By special correspondent)
A rumor has come up from
Bristol Bay to the affect that
Martin Monsen, Sr., is trapping
for the first time in 30 years.
Mr. Monsen is reported to being
elated over the fact that he lias
caught something, most of the
other trappers in that locality
having drawn blanks. Mr. Mon
sen is the proud possessor of a i
hoot owl and a camp robber as j
evidence of his trapping skill.
• • •
It is reported that Charlie j
Waumser, trapping near John
son’s Hill, has caught 48 fox.
A SUGGESTION
Look at the bottom of your j
shoes; if worn or thin, have them I
half-soled. It may prevent a has- j
pital bill.

According to a Japanese press
report an operating amalgama- '
t ion has been effected between j
the Toho Suisan Kaisha, Ltd., j
and the firm of S. Yashima, both |
owning canneries and having fish- |
ing stations in the same vicinity ’
on the west coast of Kamchatka. \
The Toho Suisan Kaisha of!
Hakodate, of which S. Sakamoto!
is president, is capitalized at 1,-1
000,000 yen. of which 700,000 yen;
is paid in. The Yashima concern j
also has a crab station.
.The amalgamation was closed [
soon after the close of the fish- |
ing season, following negotiations
opened last spring, resulting in
the formation of the Towa Fish- j
ery Company, Ltd., capitalized at'
350,000 yen. Stock and represent- I
ation on the directorate are divid- j
ed equally between the Toho and j
Yashima interests, the directors,
being S. Sakamoto, Y. Ogawa, S. j
Yashima and K. Yashima; Mr.!
Sakamoto being president and Mr.
Ogawa managing director. Opera
tion will be directed by the Toho
concern.
It is stated that the merger is
proving advantageous to both'
parties, and that in two or three
years thq parties expected to
form a stronger consolidation as!

Attention Alaskans!
'<h>
SEND SAMPLES AND PRICE
Anyone, or any group of Alaskans, who can assure quantities of
Alaskan commodities suitable for export purposes, are asked to get
in touch with the undersigned.
There is a tremendous market awaiting Alaskan products in the
Orient and it is the ambition of Mr. Kawabe to have, within the next
few years, such a business underway. He believes it will require that
length of time before the necessary tonnage of 1,900 tons per ship
ment from the Port of Seward, can be assured.
Numerous local inquiries have been directed to Mr. Kawabe as to
Just what his plan was; it appears his first announcement which has
been appearing in The Gateway for the last week, was not quite
clear. Briefly, Mr. Kawabe desires samples of Alaskan products—any
kind which may be produced in quantity; the samples must be ac
companied by the lowest figure which the item can be supplied. Both
the sample, be it various grades of salt fish, grains, kelp, coal, etc.,
will be forwarded to the Orient where agents will' endeavor to find
a demand. If there is a market for certain of these samples and the
price is satisfactory, orders will be sent Mr. Kawabe and it will be
up to him fill it.
The skeptical will no doubt say there isn’t a chance to develop
such an export trade from Aalska but not only Mr. Kawabe and
others connected with him locally, but prominent Japanese officials
are greatly enthused over his proposed plan. Believing that unless;
Alaskans themselves develop the Territory’s resources, 2d years from
now, or more, will see but little progress, is the thought behind Mr,
Kawabe’s entire plan. He is looking toward the industrial Alaska of
the future. He is visioning a bigger and better Alaska for alL
