ANOTHER PAPER
 FOR JUNEAU

Major J. F. A. Strong has ar rived at J JLneau, where he will start a daily newspaper. The growing cc"Gition of the town and the prospects of democratic success in national politiceS make the venture attractive to Mr. Strong who is a pronoun- ced bourbon democrat and candidate for governor as well. The Major, who has wasted his sweetness all these years booming placer camps and oil towns, will here find con- dition of natural wealth that will justify his loudest praise; and can stay well within the truth, which is a living com- fort to the heart of any news paper man and especially dem ocrat.-Douglas News.

Another paper shows him to have been in Wrangell. Alaska, as recently as August of this year. Barnes claims to have relatives. i'll the cannery busi- ness in Wrangell. He talked at intervals in a rambling way about his domestic estrange- ment, and this, coupled with excessive use of liquor, is held responsible for his dementia.

The Non-partisan idea has taken like wild-fire all over Alaska, because the people re- alize that intense partisans are not needed i'll Alaska's first leg islature, that good, sensible business principles are good enough for Alaska to start with and a man whose only virtue is his adherence to party had bet ter be left out.

Judge Wick ersham preached non-parti- san ticket here on his recent trip north, did the same at Ju- neau and Skagway, and appar- ently also in the interior, call ing on all those who supported him so Loyalty in the three del- egate elections to bury their differences and unite with the other factions to elect able men to represent them in the first session of Alaska's territorial legislature.

Imperial Valley press., 1912-05-23

The announcement was made this
morning by Manager Woolfin of the
Imperial Mercantile company that
that company has definitely decided
to put in a complete cannery in con-
nection with its jobbing business, hay
ing ample room for it in the large
building owned and occupied, just
east of the depot.
This is one of the most important
industrial announcements ever made
here, for the field is a great one and
the company being composed of a
number of men of great wealth, is
amply able financially to carry out
the project on large scale.
Heretofore there has been no great
part of the soil of the valley devoted
to gardening, for the reason that
there has been no dependable local
market, and with a cannery provided
there will be no difficulty in bringing
thousands of acres under intensive
cultivation, to the great profit of both
the farmer and the cannery people,
while the cannery will be able to
work off the surplus after high priced
early green market produce has been
shipped, particularly as regards as
paragus and grapes.
At the same time there will be a
demand for great areas of tomatoes,
beans, peas and other vegetables, and
as it is proposed TO put in a plant
for cooking and canning beans, there
is field almost unlimited.
1t is estimated that this valley an
nually imports nearly half million
dollars worth of green and canned
fruits and vegetables, and it is posi-
BILE to put an end almost completely
to such importations. while there is a
