RATSING CITIZENS TO BE
CITIZENS OP OTHER STATES
It is well known that if a child
is raised in a community, he will
likely remain there among hi*
friends. On thi3 principle, the Re
gular Republicans in the last Le
gislature attempted to establish an
orphanage in Alaska.
Those members of the House
who voted against taking care of
our orphans IN ALASKA were the
same men who usually voted against
Alaska on other matters; Walter
Fisher, Tom Gaffney, Ben Grier,
Ralph Lomen, Aimer Rydeen, Tom
Scott, and Robert Sheldon.
Those who supported the bill
were Charles Benjamin, Charles
Ferguson, Fred Johnston, Joseph
Murray (author of the bill) Wil
liam L. Paul, H. H. Ross, Richard
Sundquist, William E. Worth, and
Sumner Smith.
The bill was actively opposed in
the Senate by Senator Tom Jenson,
the same man who held up the ap
propriation for the school house at
Mission District (Jesse Lee Home)
in an attempt to club Ben Grier to
support the Lomen subsidy for his
steamship line running out of Nome.
The following is a statement of
the number and location of desti
tute orphans now under Territorial
care:

BRISTOL BAY PACK 500,000
CASES SHORT
The total Bristol Bay salmon
pack for 1927 was approximately
850,000 cases, exclusive of Port
Moller and Herenden Bay, ac
cording to H. B. Friele, general
manager of the Nakat Packing Cor
poration in an interview at Juneau
recently.
The pack of the district for this
season, on Mr. Friele’s estimates,
is about 500,000 cases short of
last year when 1,400,000 cases
were packed. Virtually all of the
shortage was the result of the
failure of the runs on the Nusha
gak side of the district, he said
Canneries in that area packed ap
proximately 00,000 cases as com
pared to about 500,000 cases in
1926.
Abnormally cold weather thru
out the opening days of the fish
ing season delayed the runs mater
ially, it was said. Late in the
season, heavy runs were experienc
ed in the Kvichak-Naknek area
where the canneries obtained prac
tically a normal pack. The escape
ment. in this district was excellent.
