Crab Cannery Is Latest

 no influence' on the market in this country. Within the last decade the Japanese crab pack has fallen off from 900, 900 cases annually to 100, GOO cases last year. MT. Range stated that he would not can any cabs less than six inches in size, and this policy meant that his cannery would have no perceptible influence on the crab supply in these waters.
 Canned crab has always con- manded a good price for the reason that the market for this product has never been glutted, and much of the time the supply has not been equal to the de- mand. In order to show the re- markable increase in the price of canned crab during the past five years MT. Range produced government statistics showing that in 1914 the United States imported 2,070,813 pounds of crab from Japan valued at $355, 684 while in 1919 we received from Japan 1, 704, 565 pounds of crab valued at $7O4,5 ,565. . MT. Range says that when it became known that he proposed to start a crab cannery in Alaska one of the largest and most reliable brokerage firms in the country sent one of their representatives to Portland to interview him re- garding the handling of his en- tire output.
 Before putting his proposition up to the local people MT. Range spent a week going over the fish. ing grounds within a reasonable radius of Wrangell and found crabs in great abundance every where he went. He says he was thoroughly convinced that crab cannery here would be a dividend payer before he decided to en- bark in that business in Wrangell.
 When asked what would be the amount of his payroll MT. Range stated that he would spend about $100 a day for labor and about $500 a day for raw supplies. He further stated that fishermen should find crab fishing quite profitable. One man can readily handle 25 traps a day. These traps should average two dozen crabs each per day. At 50 cents per dozen this would mean $25 a day for the fisherman. When MT. Range returns he will bring enough iron with him to make the frames for 600 traps. He says that the business of crab fishing could be combined most advantageously with that of trap ping, thereby enabling the crab fisherman to greatly increase his income.
 The crab season starts August 15 and continues until June 15 of the following year.
 MT. Range claims to be thor oughly practical man in his line. He was six years in the fruit and vegetable business. For the past 12 years he has been in the fish ing game. From 1916 to 1919 he was in Siberia canning crabs for the firm of Groochestsy & com- pany of Petrograd. This work was in reality for the Russian government as during that time the entire pack was each year taken over by the government.

Fire, Following the Explosion, Fills

of the injured Men Die in

North Tonawanda, N. Y.-Eleven
men were killed by an explosion and
fire caused by the Overheatlng Of a
transformer in the power tower main
tanned by the Niagara Falls Power
Company. Five of the men were burn
ed to death while Six were so badly
burnedthat their deaths followed
shortly. *
The men were engaged in the work
of collecting the cables of the Niagara
Power Company with the generators
of the local plant and the work was
completed and power turned on. The
test had been made and the power
was on for about seven minutes when
a sizzling noise was heard in the gen.
orator box. Orders were given to shut
off the power, but before the switch
was reached there was a terrific ex-
plosion. The oil used for cooling tho
transformer was instantly ignited and
the room in which the men were
working was filed with gas and
flames. Five of the men were caught
like rats in a trap and burned almost
to a crisp. The other men dashed for
an opening leading from the tower in
to the local mopany's station. Some
were overcome and fell in the door
way, while the clothing of the men
who escaped from the room was in
flames.
Persons in the street heard the ex
plosion and, seeing flames issuing
from the building, sent in an alarm
of fire. Ambulances and physicians
were summoned and six of the men
were taken to the hospital, where
they died.
