MOANING FATES CART. BERGER
IS SLOWING FORGING AHEAD
i
I “There la a splendid chance for a
i I
i small fisherman in this country, de
' spite all this croaking about big cor
porations. At a comparatively small
outlay for a boat and a small hand
canning outfit, an energetic man can
make a good living and lay up some
money in the bank. Besides that he
will be getting a bigger kick out of
life than he could in almost any other
occupation.”
It was on the ship Discoverer, head
ing out toward Kodiak with a party
of bear hunters, Capt. Berger talking.
After sonte years of trying, Capt.
Berger has a fine boat as the nucljeus
of a fleet which he proposes to put in
to service in Southwestern Alaska for
j the accomodation of fishermen, min
' ers, huntsmen and tourists. He is an
; optimist and it is upon such men that
the future of Alaska depends.
“These waters to the Westward are
teeming with fish,” continued the Cap
tain. “It takes some efforts to get
I them, and you will hear talk in these
small camps aroung Kodiak that they
can’t turn a wheel until they get their
promised refrigerating plant.
“It is not necessary to wait for the
i
refrigerating plant. If enough indivi
duals would start their own individual
canneries they could build up a quite
respectable tonnage that would pay
a ship to come along and pick up all
their output for market. They might
even get together, if such a thing is
possible, and pool their shipments un
der one contract. Salmon seems to be
the thing this! year but there are great
future fields, of clams and crabs. Then
there is the mild cure process for sal
mon, which might just as well be
utilized for cod because kippered cod
brings as good a price on the Outside
market as kippered salmon.’
Capt. Berger, as has been said, is an
optimist, but he has a practical out
look on life that will bring him divid
ends while the croakers of this coun
try are warming themselves around
the old stove in their cabins explain
ing all about it. He proposes to take
advantage of the big influx of tourist
travel, but he will arrange to take
them out on small boats instead of
kissing them good bye when the big
steamers come^in. He proposes also
to institute small motor ship travel
for small stations where the big ships
do not stop, on the theory that the
fishing industry on this Southwest
coast is about to amount to something.
He will also see to it that if some hard
boiled old sport thinks he has a mine
out around here that is worth develop
ing, the means to get the bacon and
beans on the ground will be forthcom
ing. In other words he believes in
Alaska and is going about the first
best way of proving it.
