(By Babe Hayes)
W. L. Rhodes, President of the
Rhodes Bros. Co., of Seattle, was
through Alaska, coming to Seward
and back in 1930. Speaking of his
trip he says:
“I do not know of a trip I have
ever taken that I have enjoyed
more than my trip to Alaska. It
was not only the pleasant trip
but I was very cordially received at
every place that I stopped. I appre
ciate the courtesies which ypu ex
tended to me and I hope that at
some future time I may again have
ihe pleasure-and privilege of mak
ing the trip.”
* * * *
Wm .B. Towsley, an executive of
Vlarshall Field & Company was
through Alaska in 1928. After his
return to Chicago I received a let
;er from him in which he says
imong other things:
“I am writing this letter to let
rou know that I arrived safely in
Chicago, and to thank you for the
iplendid welcome you gave me in
Cordova. Such experiences, when
)ne is traveling in a strange land
ire things which one will not soon
orget.”
E. R. Brown, an attorney of Des
koines, Iowa made the trip to Alas
:a three years ago. He was accom
janied by Mrs. Brown. In a letter
eceived from him a short time
if ter his return he says among
ither things:
“I have thought a good many
imes of the courtesies which you
xtended personally and cause to
ie extended to me while in your
ity. It seems to me that your in
erest in the tourists who come
here, and your fine way of bring
ug people together, is a very valu
ble asset, not only to Cordova, but
o Alaska generally. When people
cave your city at least it was so
hth our group, it was with the im
iression we had spent a very de
ightful time there and made some
lice acpuaintances. and were favor
bly impressed with the enterprise
ind hospitality of the people of
/ordova.

RED FISH PICK TO 1ST
URGE. REPORTS REVEIL
With a total pack of 1,063,500
cases of salmon, commercial fish
ing was closed in Bristol Bay re
cently until August 3. Ninety
three per cent of the total was
red fish, said advices just received
at Juneau headquarters of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries,
according to the Juneau Empire.
In the western district, com
prising Bristol Bay, the north and
south side of the Alaska Penin
sula and Chignik, the red salmon
pack to date aggregates about
1,220,000 cases, almost three times
as large as last season’s pack at
the same time. It is approximate
ly 120,000 cases less than the total
pack for the same district in 1926,
which was the best in the past
decade, and the preceding red fish
cycle year.
The south side of the Alaska
Peninsula had a pack of more
than 230,000 cases and the north
side some 58,000 cases. Chignik
had put up about 44,000 and Prince
William Sound about 140,000.
The Southeast Alaska pack to
taled 210,000 odd cases. Icy Strait
packers, owing to greatly reduced
i fishing operations, were well be
hind 1930, but most of the other
districts, particularly Ketchikan
1 and Wrangell were materially
| ahead of last season. Fish con
| tinued to run unusually large in
I ranging about 11 to the case.

NO SCHOOL BUILDINGS
ME TO BE ERECTED
Suspension of the Territorial
public school building program for
the current year was announced
in the Juneau Empire. School
plants are adequate to take care
of present needs and, while some
repairs and improvements would
be advantageous, there is nothing
so pressing as to require immediate
construction of new buildings.
The building program has been
suspended on account of the un
satisfactory condition of Terri
torial finances. This is only tem
porary and next year probably will
find it remedied. In the meantime,
it is more important to insure a
full nine-month term for every
school than to erect new buildings.
