PLANS
 CLAM CANNERY
COMPANY IS BEING ORGANIZED
Shortage of Shellfish of Pacific Coast Makes Project g Particularly Prom ising One-Company Will Be Com- posed of Local Men.

The rapidly diminishing number of clans on the Pacific coast and the ever increasing demand for them has turned the attention of the coast can nery men to Tzince William Sound, which probably has more of this edi- ble sea product than any other place in the world. There are now two clam canneries established at or near Cordoya, with a third one, the Car lisle Packing Company, about to turn their attention to clam canning as soon as the salmon quit running. All these canneries are operated by out side capital, and the profits all go to people on the outside, and there is no benefit in them for Alaska.
 There is no reason why this money should not be left in Alaska if the citizens of the town have the enter prise to go into the business them- selves. According to figures produc- ed by those interested in a project of this kind here, the investment is not a large one and the profits promise to be very large, and the business will furnish employment for a number of men.
 Some of our local men have spent the past two months in thorough in vestigation of the subject of a can nery for this section. They have .vis- ited and prospected the clam beds and are absolutely convinced that there is ar unlimited supply of the shellfsh. They have selected site for the proposed cannery, and have made a visit to Cordova to investi- gate the methods of canning employ ed there, and they are convinced that there is nothing to prevent one or more canneries being successfully op- erated here.
 A company is being organized and the progress appears to be SO merito- rious that there is little doubt the organizers will have no difficulty in obtaining outside capital with which to operate, but before making any ef- fort in this direction it is the inten- tion of the promoters to give the peo- pie of Valdez an opportunity to sub scribe for the stock, and if possible, make the corporation purely local one. It is expected the stock sub scriptions will be opened within a day or two and it is anticipated ithat a large part of the stock will be taken here. The plan has been placed be- fore several of the local business men, who have given it their unqualified approval.
