ROSEATE OUTLOOK
The outlook for Alaska for the next 12 months is ex
ceedingly roseate despite the psychic influence of the de
pression in the states, which najturally reflects itself, not
in a material sense, but because of the state of mind cat
astrophy in one section engenders in another.
With each change in the field of labor have emerged
others where men may find other and renumerative ac
tivities not heretofore available. This is shown in the large
number of men being absorbed into the mines, and those
who have turned to the creeks for placer and hills for
quartz.
While the price of fish offers a problem to the can
neries and individual fishermen, the outlook in the States
is that a restoration of a degree of prosperity will clear
away the barriers now interposing between the producer
and the market for fish.
Bristol Bay approached the million case mark in red
salmon canned, and other regions have had a good run.
Of the total of 1,565,518 cases packed to July 9, the re
gion west of and including Prince William Sound has
secured the major portion, distributed as follows: Cook
Inlet, 28,894; Alaska Peninsula, south, 287,671; Alaska
Peninsula, north 47,420; Prince William Sound, 24,172;
Resurrection bay, 3,266; Chignik, 84,047; Bristol bay 913.
975, or 4,287,545 of the 1,565,518 cases reported.
With the clearance of these fish will come a large dis
bursement of funds in Western Alaska.
The only irretrievable loss is in tourist and passenger
traffic thru Seward, yet what it has lost in this respect
promises to be recouped thru fisheries disbursement and
the general revival of mining which is but in its infancy,
according to reports from the States.
Next spring should see an era of activity which will
not only be a great stimulant to business but mark a new
era in permanent prosperity.
Many prospectors who had no field of activity last
winter will be doing development w^ork during the time
they are unemployed. This opens the way for some good
strikes and the introduction of capital for development.
Taken all in all, the outlook was never better.
The Russians claim to have invented a drug which
causes sheep to shed their wool. Well, they had ample
warning not to try Prohibition in their five-year plan.
Two Washington towns are trying out “petticoat”
government by electing a feminine mayor and council. But
where does the petticoat come in?
