SNAP-SHOTS AND
TRAP-SHOTS
A letter from Killisnoo tells us
that John Hunter is the night boss
of the fertilizer plant there. The
plant makes fertilizer of herring, ami
also makes herring oil. John, a
great, big, tall, Native American
comes on duty and about the first
person he sees is Eli Katinook, oth
erwise called ‘Kat.” John walks
over to “Kat” and “Kat” says, “Wei1,
what do you want done now, Boss?”
Then John looks over the “Kat” with
his raven eye and tells the “Kat”
to get busy. This is a fine combi
nation .
John by the way is one of the
illiterates about whom Arthur Frame
complains. John is a producer of
wealth. He manufactures a product
that is exported and brings back
real money to our country. He man
ages men, employes them, and there
by many families are sustained,
wives, children, storekeepers, boat
builders, postoffices, schools and
other useful citizens. In contrast to
this illiterate that would not vote
for Arthur, Arthur makes his living
at the law business. John versus
Arthur!! Who is the producer?
Who is the most valuable to this
territory ? Who pays the taxes ?
Whom could we spare best? Cotton
shirt versus white shirt! Perhaps
John W. Troy, who betrayed his
benefactor Governor Strong, could
be induced to sit on the jury and
estimate the real worth of each of
these men to this territory.

On the occasion of his recent visit
at Seward, Governor Scott C. Bone
announced that another meeting of
the policy board of The Alaska
Railroad would take place probably
at the Gateway City in about a
month—Seward Gateway Aug. 5th.
By that time Karl Thiele will have
made his trip thruout all northern
Alaska telling citizens that they
should build good roads, and that
“Mr. Bone is a very nice man” and
be sure to return legislators who
will support Mr. Bone.
And strange to say, men will cornu
to the Territorial legislature and vote
to give more power and the control
of territorial funds to the federal
governor.
Men of this type are Senator Fred
Ayers of Nome, who is sponsoring
Mrs. Welch; also E. M. Keys of
Fairbanks whose constituency did not
appreciate him enough to renomi
nate him but who was made a re
gent of the Alaska College for his
surrender to the federal government;
Senator Dimond who has just been
made an advisor to Mr. Herbert
Hoover on the subject of fisheries;
and E. M. Polley, Territorial Tax
Collector which occupation he finds
much more pleasant than that of
digging ditches.

Fishing is prohibited within 500
yards of all salmon streams in Al
aska except at the Karluk River
and the Settuc River. The Alaska
Packers Association, whose President
drew up the first draft of the
Fish Reservations adopted almost
verbally by Mr. Herbert Hoover,
has a large cannery at the Karluk,
and Libby, McNeil & Libby have
their large cannery at Yakutat near
the Settuc.

At Karluk, last week, a haul of
ISO,000 salmon was made by one
of the Uyak canneries. So many
fish were in the trap that it was
impossible to brail it without tearing
and the remainder of the fish were
permitted to escape.—Seward Gate
way of Aug. 9th.
