There seems to be a good deal of
doubt as to whether the p. p. q n
Co.'s cannery here will he operated
this season. Superintendent Burke
has not as yet received any definite
instructions as to whether it will be or
not, and as he has been told that he
might be asked to take charge of one
of the compaDy's Alaska csnneres dur
ing the season he naturally assumes
that there is considerable doubt about
the operation of the local plant this
year. In previous years, since the es-
tablishment of the cannery, two or
three Cinnamon have arrived earlier
than this to plant the celestial gardens
and get the China house ready for oc-
cupancy, but not single yellow man
has appeared here yet this spring. AS
it is quite unlikely that the salmon run
this year will be anything like as great
as that of last year it Is not improbable
that the company expects to be able to
pack the entire product of its Puget
Sound traps at its great canneries at
Fairhaven and its smaller plants at
Blaine and Seattle, although the cam
merry here is much the most conven-
iently located to handle the output of
the great San Juan traps. 1t is unfor-
tunate for Friday Harbor that the
ownership of the Island Packing Com
pany's plant and traps ever passed out
of the control of local capital.
1t is not yet too late to organize a
local company for the operation of a
home cannery this season. There are
quite number of independent traps
within easy reach, the owners of which
are said to be ready to contract their
seasons catch at reasonable prices, and
there would be no lack of experienced
local labor. All the wonderful wealth
of our waters should not be permitted
to 60 year after year to the enrichment
of foreign corporations.

Mr.. Broder says that lie will prob
ably move his creamery to some other
location, perhaps to some point in the
valley, it being impractical to continue
its operation here in such close proxim-
lty to the clam and salmon canneries
The location is an excellent one for /,
cannery which could not only handle
salmon and CLANS but also fruit, after
the close of the fishing season, and
could thus be operated during much
the greater part of the year. 1t would
seem tina, it might be very profitably
utilized for this purpose hy a local com
pany, it being understood that Mr..
Broder is himself favorable to such a
project. 1t would not require large
capital and under careful and efficient
management it should pay liberal in
terest on the investment and be of very
great benefit to the community.

issue of that paper. A crude map Of
the "Scene Of Operations of Alleged

article, into which is rather ingenious
ly woven an air of mystery and i'm
portance well calculated to entertain
the average reader, and none the less
so perhaps if his knowledge of the real
situation makes the ridiculous features
Of the article readily apparent.
