LOCAL SALTERY

Worth about $4,000 To

The markets OF the United States
viii soon be enrichened by the first
sailed fish shipments from the Ket-
chikan salteries. About one thousand
barrels will be shipped on one of the
first freighters south, from the Trout
Fisheries and the Bergman Saltery,
operating in the new Ketchikan Dock
tishhouse, just completed.
Last year, the Bergman Saltery put
put salt fish On a small scale. but the
Trout Fisheries handled only fresh
fish. This year. both companies are
working to capacity, and report that
they could have put up much larger
packs had they not been handicapped
for the want Of ice.
Mr.. Roy Thomas, foreman of the
Bergman saltery, informed the report
er this morning that his company had
put up $50 barrels of salt salmon al
ready and expects to put up as many
more before the close OF the season.
The average price per barrel is SIS
y
for the pinks and as high as s25 for
the red salmon. The Trout Fisheries
under Mr.. Hannum expect to put I'D
about 1900 barrels on which they place
a valuation Of 100000. The output of
both companies will be approximately
$4,000 for the season.
The salteries have had no difficult
ties in obtaining sufficient fish or in
obtaining efficient labor All the men
employed are white men, and as an
inducement are paid $3.50 per month,
regardless of experience. At the be-
ginning of the season, the Bergman
company had but one experienced salt
fish man, and he was obliged to break

DO YOU KNOW HOW
MUCH SUGAR YOU
ARE ALLOWED?
Every Person Who Uses More
Than One TeaspoOnful Per
Meal is LaWbreaker

TEree-quarters of teaspoonful of
sugar or one and one-quarter of
cube of sugar is all the law allows for
ca ch person for each meal, under the
new regulation which allows but two
pounds of sugar monthly to one per-
son!
This interesting but saddening in
formation was brought to the PRO-
.:RESIVE-MINER office today by Mr..
Frank Hermann, chef at Finzel & Fin
els pool room lunch counter. Mr..
hermann is intensely patriotic, hav-
ing among other interests( two boys
in the uniform of Uncle Sam, and he
decided that, since the Government
.ssucd the 2-pound regulation, it was
up to him to see that no one got
a grain more han was coming to him,
in his establishment at Yeast, so he
did a little mathematical calculation.
Taking 80 days as an average
month, with three meals per day. there
are 80 meals per month, for which
two pounds of sugar is allowed. One
pound of sugar is made Of 40 tea
spconfuls or 60 cubes. Two pounds
make double or so teaspOonfuls and
120 cubes. And 80 teasponsful divided
between 80 mea Is makes just tbout
;t..rco quarters of a teaspoonful for
each meal If you use cube sugar you
have 12O cubes for 80 meals or about
four cubes a day.
This is the law, down 10 fine point
and the local cafes and restaurants
must see that their patrons re not
allowed any more, else, both oHnci and
patrons are liable to heavy penalty,
if caught. Besides, it is patriotic on
the part Of Americans to make this
little sacrifice at this time, when I'm
Gle Sam is so busy shipping the
"Yanks" overseas to smash the Huns
that he has no time or ships to
spare to send for sugar to pamper the
