The Ketchikan miner., 1908-06-27

consisting of MessrS Neil, Case an, Whitman which visited Ketchikal did it's work in thorough name and has had the assistance of at leas two expert engineers who have beel sent here from Seattle to make sup elementary reports. The committe, was somewhat delayed in returning t. the company's headquarters in Boston where the final decision was neces sarily made, and until Saturday nigh no definite knowledge was obtaina ble The telegram received at that tim, really means the best news that ha. come to this town in long time or perhaps in it's history, and vii very probably result in bringing seve ral hundred permanent resident. here. The buildings will represent al investment of several hundred thous and dollars and are of such nature that they cannot be moved or stripped to advantage, hence the extreme eau tion of the company in deciding on { site. It will be necessary to build { big dock for the landing of the large steamers owned by the company, just below the Ketchikan cannery, and work will be rushed forward at once in the expectation of being ready fol the fall fishing. The company is the largest handler of fresh fish in the world, and the Indians will have ar immediate market for all the fish they can catch, whether they have one ol ten thousand. It is yet too soon to sec ali the good results that will accrue to Ketchikan from the building oi this plant, but that it will be the making of new and bigger and bet. ter town is assured.
