ONE THOUSAND CASES OF SALMON
On July 6th last, one of the largest canneries in
t*ie Ketchikan district packed over one thousand cases of
salmon.
The fish were caught in the large traps of the non
resident corporation, built largely from piles bought m
Bellingham, and installed by Seattle workmen.
The fish were brought to the cannery by tugs op
erated by citizens of Seattle.
The fish were put into cans by cheap imported Fil
ipino labor.
These laboring men will use the money earned in
paying off their Seattle debts.
About three weeks later, the resident fishermen
caught a few fisn. Then our own merchants who
extended the credit that, keeps 11s alive during the win
ter, will begin to get theirs.
The Ketchikan Commercial Club and the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce will continue to fight the Suth
erland—Paul radicals.
We are waiting for the awakening of the business
men of Alaska to put an end to the “Seattle Spirit” with
a new birth of much needed “Spirit of Alaska.”
