PACKER TALKS OF
 FISH INDUSTRY

c. J. Alexander. one of the principal stockholders of the Hoonah, Packing company, is in town and is staying at the Alaskan Hotel. Speaking of his company's plans last evening he stat. ed that it was their intention to great
 ly increase the capacity of their plant at Hoonah. It will. when the changes have been made, be able to turn out 1900 cases of salmon each day. One of the improvements to be made to the plant will be the establishment of . can factory. In the past they have bought their cans but next season the cans will be manufactured right on the spot where used. It is expect ed to commence construction on the additions to the plant about April 1.
 The holders of the patents on the sanitary cans, MT. Alexander says, while apparently offering the product at a fair price are really asking more than the canners can auord 10 pay The company sells the body of the can at a reasonable price, but takes the money out of the packers on the patent tops and bottoms which are es- sential to user of that method.
 MT. Alexander thinks that the sal mon pack is to be greatly increased and for that reason. there should be immediate steps taken toward the es- tabnshment of government hatcheries on all the principal salmon streams. He points out the fact that in Puget Sound waters last seasons run of sal mon was the largest in the past 12 years and that the Puget Sound sec ton has been kept up by artificial prop ogation. with plenty of hatcheries in operation. For this immediate sec ton he would favor hatcheries at both Chilkoot and Chilkat and also on Taku.

Of the eight and one.half townships surveyed and platted much is already settled upon for 1t includes the placer fields as we'll as lands surveyed for prospec' tive homestead settlers and for farm ing purposes. The area included in great as that which will come under the head of agricultural lands and of the latter, while there are many acres in cultivation and some occupied by settlers actively engaged in making farms and homes. large portion re- mains open to settlement.
 Mir. Barker recently arrived from the Westward and is a guest of the Hotel Cain.

The ex- pense of clearing the land of stumps and brush at present is very high but there are many natural meadows where there are no trees to contend with and these meadows extend over large areas.
