ming water that carries off the shell and discarded parts.
 The white meat from the body of the crab is placed in one pan and the meat from the claws is placed in another by the pick. CTS. AS the filled pans are re- moved, they are weighed and each picker properly credited. The pans are perforated to allow for the escape of surplus mois- ture. From the pans, the crab meat is placed into wire -bottomed racks and given a bath that brings any chance pieces of shell to the surface. The meat is looked over again carefully, re- packed into perforated pans and taken to the filling room where the prepared cans are filled by a group of young ladies. Each can is lined with a snowy round of paper, creased to fit the can, and tiny measure of salt has been placed in the bottom before the cans are brought in. The first layer of crab consists of the un. broken pieces from the claws, then a layer of the fiaky white body meat and a final layer of the larger pieces. Two girls do the weighing. Every can is weighed to see that it contains the required 7h ounces, which, in the case of the Dobbins requirements, means eight, and if it is a trifle short, the weigher adds the necessary amount, folds the upstanding frill of paper over deftly and places it in the receptacle that carries the cans to the crimping machine.
 The first crimping fastens the cover only enough to hold it in order to allow proper exhaust while cooking, after which the final crimping is done and the can made airtight. The final cooking requires about half an hour or more depending entirely upon the quality of the crabs.
 Later, the cans are labeled and packed, AS to the case, ready for shipment. Mr. Dobbins shipped a considerable quantity on the CiIy 9f Scatfh' last week. He has been prospecting for crabs in a new location about 40 miles below Wrangell. At least three boats are engaged in crab fishing at this time, and the crabs are brought from Wrangell Narrows, Snow Pass, Quiet Harbor and other places. The company is constantly prospecting for crabs in new locations with a view to getting the best at all times.

taStefully arranged Tn dellcately colored mounds on crisp green, and other crustacean delicacies evolved from Alaska crabs, can- ned in Wrangell so close to the crab beds that they are fresh and wholesome and in such cleanly and sanitary surroundings that one need not hesitate to use them frequently as a basis for dishes that tempt the jaded appetite, - these are the visions inspired by a visit to the local crab cannery.
 There are more than thousand species of crab and they vary from a small size that is only a fraction of an inch across the body to the Japanese variety which sometimes reach the enor- nous measurement of from 15 to IS feet across the front legs although the body is small. The American Pacific Coast crab (Can- cfr .Nagistt,) abounds from Alas ka to Mexico and is from seven to nine inches across the body. It is found in sufficient quantities near Wrangell to warrant the es. tablishment of a floating cannery here last May which is known as the Dobbins Crab Cannery. It has given employment to a num- Der of people and will no doubt continue to do so for some time. About 25 workers are busy there at this time and about p, 900 crabs have been canned there during the past two weeks. They vary in size and in quality according to where they are found and the food they get, some localities fur nishing crabs of a superior quail ty and others some that are not so good. The crab moults or sheds its shell at irregular intervals ac- cording to the exigencies of its growth, often when young, and when old, keeping the same shell a number of years. Thus the meat of a crab which has shed its shell recently is of a better flavor. The process of canning crabs is an interesting one. At the Dobbins scow where the large rooms with their open doorways, numerous windows that admit plenty of light, and quantities of flowing water that insure clean. Illness, make for ideal conditions, it is pleasure to follow the pro- gress of the crab from his arrival at the cannery to the time when the the edible parts of him re- pose in a shiny can with an at- tractive red label.
 A visit to the cannery one morning last week revealed a quantity of crabs averaging about eight inches across the breadth of the body, ready for the work of the day.
 Near the mass of crabs stood two men whose business it is to get them ready for the huge vats in which they are submerged in a hot bath that steams them for about 20 minutes. Just in front of the men runs a horizon. tai water pipe out of which gushes spouts of fresh water. The crab IS picked up, its shell removed quickly with one hand, grasped by both hands and broken in two by a swift downward stroke over a horizontal iron bar, both parts held under the spout where the rushing water cleans the exposed inner crab, and thrown into the vats for the cooking, in an incred- ibly short time. The offal is car ried into the sea along an out. ward sloping trough by running water. About 20 minutes later. the cooked parts are taken into the next room where a band of pickers take charge of them. These pickers are stationed at two sides of a long table. The broken crabs are placed in a rack
