PETERSBURG CABINET WORKS

The hum Of band saw and motor
the constant sound of hammer
meeting the head Of nail tells that
the Petersburg Cabinet works is
meeting success in it's venture in
the Petersburg field.
Mr.. Erwin who recently came to
Petersburg from the States has his
chop equipment in place and has
had sufficient work ordered to put
a man on the payroll. Mr.. Erwin
himself grew up in the cabinet
work line having followed that
line for forty years and is well
able to turn out first class work
manship in modern built in fea-
lures in homes, cabinet work and
other needs for home or business.
Petersburg is fortunate in hav-
ing this new industry added to it's
already growing list and it is to be
hoped that the citizens of Peters
burg will insure the success of
this new concern by giving it
hearty support

F1sHERMEN's EARNINGS

On another column are figures in
dicating net earnings of fishermen
during seasons of 1923 and 1926.
In sofar sthe Free" agent of
the packers does not indicate the
section wherein he arrives at his
figures we also draw our con-
illusions from his figures and our
practical experience. No agent of
the Gear of our fisheries can tell
us a thing about our net earnings.
We know just how far it went
each season and number of shares
per boat.
The general practice in the Ket-
chikan district is share and
half per boat and a share and
half per ent. with crew of five
men at the least there would be
s share per boat. With some out
fits, the owner demands more
shares.
Wrangell section having few in
dependent fishermen, there is but
one share for the private boat
used. Canneries charging boat
end seine share and paying less for
fish than Ketchikan.
Petersburg fishermen made so
much money through their opera
tons in 1926 that they caused CD
and extra window in the Bank of |
Petersburg to be put in and they |
all paid big income taxes and
practically slept in the streets.
Kake through having a fair run
of salmon, the fishermen made fair

per man for 3 months seininig

CANNERIEs LOSING MONEY

The average profit on invest
ment in salmon canneries and
equipment was only two percent in
the past six year average, says Mr..
August Buschman. We remember
when the Alaska Packers Asso-
citation lost $75O,00O during one
season and yet declared a dividend
of $36. per share. During the win
ter this same company declared an
extra dividend on their investment
The Alaskan could never under
stand how these companies can OPP
crate at loss and still declared di-
vidends. We wish that they would
pass their formula along to the
resident business men so that they
too will be able to putevery thing
in the blue instead of the red be-
cause Of lack Of earning power Of
their resident trade.
Craig Miller, manager of the
swift-Arthur-Crosby Company at
Warm Chuch, is another cannery-
man always losing" money. His
brother, the late Capt. Bert Miller
said, 81 would like to lose money
in business like my brother. He is
always losing money thru his can
merry operations, yet he has bank
account Of over $4,000 and he
started with nothing" Bert should
know. And we might add, that
if all resident business men lost
money and made as little return
on their investment, the gradual
ed tax as presented the legislature
at Juneau would have hard sled
ding.

With Considerable New Equipment

The salmon packing industry will
be carried on in Anchorage this
last year, according to an article
il the Anchorage Times. And as
a result the pack is expected to be
in the neighborhood of $4,000

several years was in the employ of

superintendent and the plant in
Anchorage will be operated under
his direct supervision. The new
machinery for the plant was select !

a capacity of 10000 cases for the
season, provided the salmon neces-

A FREE" TRIP

''In the summer of 1925 I per-
sonally visited Alaska at my own
expenses in order to inform myself
at first hand of the conditions
which existed in the fisheries OF
Alaska. I feel, in consequence,
better able to talk on this subject
than those whose knowledge may
be derived from other than person
al experience" Congressman Free,
Congressional Record, March 8,
1927.
Now what does this ignoramus
of affairs Alaskan mean "at my
own expense?" Perhaps his con-
science worries him a wee bit and
he wishes to rise to his own de-
tense. Far be it from the mind
Of the Alaskan to say The didn't
pay his own expenses through AL
aska." He even chartered the
steamers and tugs of the big Pack
ing Companies at CHS own expense"
for information. And incidentally
visited the wrath of Alaskans and
the press in general when he con-
demned as junk the railroad Of
Alaska. 1t might not have been a
free trip" but it certainly was
Free advertising.
Not So Prosperous
cit is true that the regulations
have closed certain bays and other
waters where natives and white
men had been accustomed to fish
with purse seines. This has been
absolutely necessary in order to Sc
cure a sufficient escapement of
breeding salmon, for it Is we'll
known that the purse seine takes
it's heaviest tool of salmon as they
concentrate off stream mouths.
Actual figures do not bear out
the statement of the gentlemen
from Alaska that natives can not
make a livelihood or can not do
well when operating purse seines
in Alaska. There undoubtedly are
instances where individuals either
through lack of diligence or good

1923, before the departments reg

into effect, with corresponding earn
ings in 1926 when there were

upon fishing. At one -cannery in

DEFENSE STARTS
IN SINCLAIR CASE
Jury Today Hears Oil Magnate's
Side Of Story

Washington, March 2 up - The
jury which will determine whether
Harry +. Sinclair should be punish
ed for contempt OF the senate today
heard the oil operators side of the
controversy which grew out OF his
refusal to answer Questions before
the committee which investiga ted
the leasing OF the Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve.
After having occupied only one
day in presenting its testimony the
government rested its case soon
after the opening of court today
and George P. Hoover. chief of Sin
clair's counsel, opened for the de-
Tense with a recital OF the points to
be raised on behalf of his client.
The defense attorney asked the
Jury to remember that Sinclair had
testified before the senate commit
tee five Zines before his refusal on
March %, 1924. to answer a series
of questions asked by Senator Walsh
of Montana. prosecutor of the sem
ate inquiry, and Senator Adams of
Colorado.
When the defense sought to put
into the trial record Sinclair's testl-
mony before tho committee previous
10 his last appearance, government
attorneys objected and long
wransle ensued.
Martin W. Littleton. of the SIM
clair counsel said the committee
record would show that "over and
over again" Sincla'' had answered
the questions which on the final day
he refused TO answer.
They came and called him after
the suits had been brought in the
courts for the purpose of cross-eX-
aiming him or making him claim
his privilege OF not answering under
the constitution" said Littleton.
The testimony the defense sought
TO enter related TO the second count
in the Indictment, containing Sana-
tor Walsh's question about a con-
tract between Sinclair's Mammoth
Oil company and the Pioneer Oil
company. The district attorney final
" withdrew this count because the
language of the question in the in
dlctment itself was at variance with
that in the committee record
Defense counsel then argued that
they should be allowed 10 produce
testimony before the committee
showing that Sinclair once offered to
produce the books OF his Hyva cor
poration, and that the committee
did accept certified summary OF
what the books contained.
Another point raised by Hoover
was that after Sinclair declined to
answer. the committee did not d.
rect him to answer as il had on an
other occasion when Sinclair had
raised the question Of the relevancy
Of one point on which he was inter-
rogatod.
We shall show that the questions
set out in the indictment were not
pertinent TO the inquiry" Hoover
said. And II we establish these
facts We shall look for a verdict OF
not guilty"
