PROMINENT OLDTIMER
 LEAVES FOR WESTWARD

When the steamship Starr sailed for Chignik today she carried MT. J. S.. Osmund and wife, prominent oldtimers of the Territory. MT. Osmund is man. ager and superintendent of the Colum- bia River Packers Association cannery at Chignik, and has been resident of the Territory for 33 years, looking af- ter his company's interests to the west ward the past IS years. The Colum- bia River Packers plant is three line cannery, situated in Chignik bay, and is one of the best plants of the kind in the district, MT. Osmund stated that in all his experience in the packing game not one can of fish had been condemned by Outside in spectors In nine years he had had but one man go insane, and this in sane person was taken to Kodiak and sent outside at the expense of the company.
 Mir. Osmund is not an ardent advo- cate of the reserve system as he be- lieves that it deters the smaller can neries from operating successfully, giving the larger plants the advan- tage. In the case of the Chignik can- nery, fish marked by his cannery are taken in Bristol bay plants, and his cannery is loser. The company is all lowed to operate on 50-5O basis, and can pack 5O,000 cases under the re- serve ruling, but last year packed but | 2, ,000 cases. He believes that the can neries now established should be cur tailed in their pack and no new can neries established, as within a few years the fish will be gone entirely un- less the number of plants is curtailed and restrictions placed on fishing.
 The Columbia River Packers gives employment to a large number of na- tives and hires the majority of it's men in Alaska, and also helps maintain a school and assists the teacher in many ways.
 MT. Osmund is also interested in the fox business but believes the Territory

is making a mistake in placing a heavy tax on the industry. His idea is that the industry should be encour- aged by placing a tax on fur market ed, and not on the islands. The pro- posed acreage tax on fox islands, he believes would be confusing and de- trimental to the industry. He states that he paid $6,000 for foxes on his islands and whe marketed they had cost him $5,420, leaving but little profit. At the present time he has purchased 16 pairs of silver grays and will place them on an island in Chig- nix bay paying a man $10O per month to look after them, and giving him a bonus of $15 per pelt marketed. By this means good men can be secured and the animals properly cared for While this is far above the average wage paid he believes it will insure
 peter results.
 Mr. Osmund has been in negotiation with the Bureau of Education in ar attempt to place 50 head of reindeer
 on Sutvick island near Chignik, where feed is said to be abundant and the deer would do we'll. His proposition is to pay a native $500 per year tc look after the deer, furnish him pro- visions, and take the increase which would be used to supply fresh meat to the residents along the peninsula, and towns contiguous thereto. The offal would be fed to the foxes and noth- ing wasted thereby. As the Bureau has many thousand head on hand Il would be easy to supply the deer the expense being borne by MT. Osmund
 The past winter has been one of the worst the westward has experienced in years but it is pointed out that the deer on Kodiak island have done well, in fact better than those on the mainland there being few predatory animals to bother, and fine climatic conditions, with little snow.

ADVENT WILL SEND
FUNDS no JAPANESE
Special Collection To Be Taken
Sunday For Reconstruction

. At the morning service Sunday of
the Church of the Advent, a special
collection will be taken for the japanese
reconstruction fund which is being
raised by the general council of the
Protestant Episcopal church to rebuild
the church property destroyed in the
earthquake disaster of September J.,
1928.
The missionaries of the church en-
tered Japan in 1859, and since that
time there has developed an Independent
Japanese church, with its own bishops,
many parishes, with churches, schools
and hospitals. The earthquake wiped
out practically all of the material fab
ric Of the church in the city of Tokyo,
including the cathedral, seven churches,
St. Luke's International hospital, st.
Paul's Middle school for boys, st. Mar
geret's school for girls, and many resi-
dences and other church property.
The fund that is being raised is to
rebuild this and other church property,
and the appeal is being made to each
commitment, each adherent, and all
children of the church. All are asked
to give to the utmost of their ability.
DR.. Barnwell is general chairman of
the committee for Alabama which has
undertaken to raise for Alabama S
quota, $4,000. The offering will be
taken simultaneously in all the Episco-
pal churches in the United States.
