ALEXANDER
 PATENTS NEW
 SALMON SC0W
(From Pacific Fisherman)


 (. J. Alexander. yice-president Of the Hoonah Packing company. has recently been granted patent GOV ering $ fsh-carrying scow and con- yeyor system Of new design, by which 5he fish is delivered automatically from the scov 10 the conveyor. The dev;ce has lately been the subject Of q hearing before the Commissioner Of Patents at Washington. the final de- cision being in favor Of Mir. Alexander as against other claimants, and the patent has now been transferred to tae Hionah Packing company Of South Bellingham. Wash. which is in a pc sition 10 furnish drawings and license to build and use the new system 10 any who wish 10 avail themselves of it.
 One of the strong points in favor of the new scow. aside from it's economy in operation. is it's simpli- ci:E CT construction. and the fact that any ordinary fish scow can be equipped with this automatic discharg- ing feature at very little expense The result is accomplished entirely by the arrangement Of bins with chute from the side Of the scow to the conveyor. This arrangement is such that, when the chute is open, the salmon slide ot their own weight from the further side Of the scow, whereupon the scow lists toward the conveyor so that pro- cess continues automatically until the entire load is discharged.
 The effectiveness Of the system has been fully demonstrated under prac- tical working conditions Scows Of this type were used al the Hoonah cannery with most satisfactory re- suits during both the 191s and 1917 seasons. Last year, with four lines in operation. the capacity was 4,000 cases per day. while the seasons out put was 152,000 cases Of which 10l,- 1o0 cases were produced in 2s consec- utire days; and during this period all

whose wages would have been about ing in actual money amounted to at least s25 per day, aside from the in- creased convenience and better con- dition of the fish due to avoidance of the use of peughs.

l
the goodly measure OF success that has
come to the family due credit belongs
to Mrs. Thomander And. in Justice to
her deceased husband, let 1t be said
| that he ever appreciated her sterling
worth, and he invariably consulted her
good judgment in every business
transaction.
True to Adopted Country.
Mr.. Thomander carly became q c:..-
zen of this country, and he always took
an active interest both in local and
national affairs, social and political.
Considering, in a general way, his OPP
portunities from childhood. few for
eigners have mastered our language
as did he, or acquired broader knowl-
edge of our governmental machinery.
He read great deal and was well i'm
formed on the leading questions of the
day. ."s VA
On the whole, Mr.. Thomander took
life seriously. although he thoroughly
enjoyed social functions and the COM
munion of friends. His ideas and
ideals were of the highest order. To
his own detriment, his manner was
unusually blunt. often giving offense
when least intended But whatever
may be said to his discredit, he was not
a hypocrite. What he was was on the
surface, and he expected the same of
others. Quick to condemn. he was
equally ready to make amends. For
once he was convinced that he had
wronged fellowman no ones opinion
to the contrary could dissuade him
from seeking Ia make reparation for the
injury done.
But Mr.. Thomander has passed over
that great divide that road over which
we. In turn, must pass. We had hoped
that his days might be heightened unto
the ushering In OF that glad time when
peace and good will shall have been
among the nations now
in bloody conflict-peace which shall
endure for all time. How appropriate
to the tranquil hours OF his last days
could he have Joined his many friends
in the glad refrain:
1.-THE scroll OF the century is rolled
together; the work il done. Peace to
the memory Of the fathers; green be
the graves where sleep the warriors pa
triots and sages. gentle be the summer
rains on fields where armies met in
battle; forgotten be the animosities
and heart-burnings OF the strife; and
bright the visions Of the coming ages"
