John Stedman ForetOld
Future of Ketchikan
Over 20 Years AGO

Robert A. zeller of the United
States Forest Service. recently ran
across an old copy of The Mining
Journal formerly published il
Ketehikan, of issue, Saturday. Apri
Is, 1905. which contains a prophetic
vision BY John v. stedman. Under
the caption. Big Possibilities foi
Salmon, the article says
John W. stedman who recently
arrived from the eastern states i.
more than ever convinced that Ket-
ehikan is destined to be the cento
of a great fisheries business.
Speaking of the outlook for tn
Alaska eanneries this year Mr.
stedman declared that peace hat
been declared between the P. P. &
n. and the Alaska Packers of Sar
Francisco. IN the past these com
panies have spent much of the
time and money fighting each othe
instead of building up their busi
ness. They have discovered thu
such tactics are unnecessary an
that there is more money in peace
THE Northwestern Fisher i e
company of which Captain d. I
Jarvis is superintendent will pro
coed to get canneries at Quadra
Funter Bay. Yes Bay, and Santa
Ana in shape for work. They vii
be too late to do anything this year
but next year will put up a big pack
Speaking of the japanese mar
ket, Mr. Stedman is of the opinio
that the market in reds will be hell
ed very little from that source,
the Japanese are buying large guam
titles of salt herring and the chear
er prepared fish.
It is only a matter of time
said Mr.. Stedman, when the Gamer
les will be largely superseded b.
cold storage plants. and fresh saln
on will be delivered all over tn
United States. When such a tim
comes Ketchikan is sure to be tn
center of the greatest fishing indus
try on the Pacific coast. There /
now a great demand for Alaska
salmon, halibut and deep sea fish
the New England states, which ca
be increased to untold possibilities
All that is needed is cold storag
and transportation. We have tt
fish and the market. If they car
ship such perishable fruit as bana
aas from New Orleans to Alaska, W
can ship fresh salmon all over tn
world. AS a matter of fact salmo'
are being shipped today from Port
land to Europe, and according to r.
ports the salmon are creating a goo
impression there.
Tn a recent shipment fror
Portland to Copenhagen, via Ne,
York, 10000 Chinook salmon were
handled without the loss of a singl
fish.
The fish industry of Ketchika'
and Alaska generally declared M
Stedman, is in its infancy, and W
will see the day when it will be
even more Importance than GU
mines ."-Ketchikan Chronicle.

statement by Hubert Work, chair.
man Of the Republican National
committee, published today. de.
nounces lone Of the most unjust
whispering campaigns in the his.
tory of presidential contests"
"Whispers," the statement ex.
plains, arose from the fact that
Herbert Hoover was listed on Eng
lish voters rolls without his knowl.
edge years ago.
Saying that he has been informed
that American detective agencies
and opposition newspapers have tax.
en- photographs Of these rolls and
propose to produce them in the Unit.
ed States, DIR. Works statement
says that to circulate this material
is an outrage on Mr.. Hoover and q
fraud on the American people.
The listing, Work explained, was
done by English officials under re-
quirements Of law because Hoover
as the lessor of . house near Lon
don paid taxes and the names of all
taxpayers are automatically placed
on the voters lists although this in
itself does not carry the right to
vote.

DR.. Works arraignment Of this
whispering campaign was made pub

ment had issued q formal statement
declaring that "there never has been
the slightest question Of Mr.. Hoov-
er's American citizenship" This
statement was in the form Of q let
ter written to the representative of
m unnamed newspaper which had
asked for a record Of the dates when
Hoover registered ak the American
consulate in London.
Signed by w. r. Castle, Jr., as

said that Hoover had registered in
