, Demagogues

The commissioners of Living
ston parish, in Louisiana, have
passed certain blue laws, pro-
hibiting, among other things. the
wearing of knickers in public,
wearing bathing suits which show
more than one-fourth of the leg,
petting parties and other things.
This instance reminds us of
a receipt" we saw in a weekly
paper the other which ran some
thing like this:
How to Make Demagogue.
Take one business failure of
small caliber. Mix we'll nj poll
ties. Stir up with several
grouches and prejudices Add a
gift of oratory. Sift in a few
mannerisms and peculiarities.
Sprinkle well with "isms." Add
one political ambition, turn loose
half-baked on the public and
watch results.
Barnum said there was ONE

add that most of them got into
political office, where they i'm

mcr from New Haven to New York

Will Open Shrimp Cannery
There If Shrimp Pick
ers Can b Secured.

If labor can be secured for
handling shrimp, the establishment
of shrimp cam ng plant at Spcel
River by Earl N dinner, Peters
burg Gamer, is assured, it was
stated today at the local Chamber
of Commerce. Mr.. Dinner in a let
ter to George Ra eistead who report
cd the matter to ths Chamber, said
all arrangements tor locating the
plant at Speel River had been made
satisfactorily and il would be moved
there as soon rs labor was available
for its operation.
Women and girls for shrimp
pickers is the principal labor re-
quired, 1t was stated. Mr.. dinner
needs 35 or 40 pickers to start UP
the plant, and, Il the shrimp supply
proves as good as expected from
preliminary sur 7ys made last win
ter, the force VIII be built up to
so or 65. The Chamber is under
taking to find the necessary labor
Persons looking for steady employ

Mr.. Dinner will continue his Pet

chased a second plant which is in
stalled aboard large scow. lie
plans to move this to Speel River.
However, if labor cannot be secured
for that place, he will take the
scow to either Tenakee or Hoonah.
Shimp are available, it is said,
in all of the bays between Speel
River and Petersburg and are also
found in Taku Inlet. The best
grounds yet uncovered, however, are
said to be at Sumdum. They are
also found in the Speel River arm
of Snettisham Inlet. Mr.. dinner be-
lieyes that by putting his plant at
Speel River he will be able to op-
crate it the year round without dif-
along Stephens Passage in good
ficulty, securing supplies from bays
weather and fishing in Snettisham
Inlet during stormy periods. The
fact that small boats find the Taku
months is said to have prevented
him from coming to the Channel
with his plant.

With six boats operating out of

daily enlarging and more trollers a@e
gathering in waters adjacent to Gas.

ers are taking ali the kings offered
for mild curing as we'll as making
frequent shipments Of fresh salmon
to the Seattle market.
The cancerns buying are the Ju.
neau Cold Storage Co. e. NJ Base,
for the National Fish Co. Seattle
and II. r. Thompson, Ketehikan. The
two latter are new forces in the local
field and are specializing in putting
up mild cured salmon, packing ali
they can purchase. Oliver Orange,
of the local cold storage company
said he was making no special ef
fort to buy salmon but was prepared
to handle all that was offered If Il
was not otherwise absorbed
Mr.. Basse is operating extensively.
He has three boats making regular
trips to the trolling waters and three
others running as the opportunity
arises The Tagon is handling the
Taku Inlet trade for Mr.. Basse; the
Show Me and Eagle making regu-
lar trips north to Lynn Canal trollers
and south covering Stephens passage
and Seymour Canal. Mr.. Thompson
has leased the plant of Sam Morris
and Is operating one boat to the
various grounds.
The States market for mild cured
salmon at the present time is good,
here early this week from a business
trip TO Seattle The surplus at Sc
attic is virtually exhausted and snip
ments of this years cure are being
made east where a steady demand is
shown. He said he would continue
to cure until advised by his Seattle
office to cease Until that time, he
said, the only limit to the local mar
ket for trollers is the combined ca
pacity of the three plants.
While more trollers are probably
engaged in fishing in this district
than ever before. it was said by op-
orators OF the local plants that there
is room for 100 additional as they
could handle the catches of that
many more men. Fish are said to
be more plentiful at this time in
the waters of the district than in
the southern end of the Division
and the trollers here are making
good money.
