PLENTY OF RAIN AND NO
 FISH

Plenty of rain and no fish. Less than 15,OOO salmon escaped up Anan Creek; no fish in any ct the inland bays, estuaries, chan nels-no use talking about in the creeks.
 Henry CMalleys system of breeding late fish will bring on- ly late fish. The forecast made by 'he Rot per Fish Barons is that stable run permitting an annual pack of 4,5OO,OOO cases is going to be maintained from present indications. Stable stuff alrightl
 Indications at this writi1c are "a small run on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island; a lit- tie splurge in Icy Straits. ,,:oth- tie splurge in Icy Straits. Moth ing to speak of anywhere else.
 BUT by the 2Oth of August, after the c-ose season sta -ts in, the run Of fall fish which have been prot cted will come in such numbers $ to overseed t.,t dif- ferent spawning areas. The law of nature is immutable. Re it man, animal, bird or fish, tile progeny of each species returns only according to their laws Of reproduction.

 The liberty we have today and
The Alaskan., 1929-07-19

the liberty for which our fore fathers bled and died are two different birds altogether.
 To some Liberty is to make a lot of money, hoard it and eX- ploit it and labor. To others liberty means the right to imbibe spurious liquors at any and all times, usually in wholesale quantities. To others liberty is license. While to a few, and they are called radicals" fiber ty means just those rights and justice which the Colonists de- clared themselves in the most historic document of all times the Declaration of Independ- ence, Liberty, Justice and Equal ity (before the law) for ALL.

INVESTING NEW MONEY

The Foshay's will invest new money in the town and bring in new capital, is the stock argu- ment of those in favor of the sale of the public utilities.
 Where was Foshay when the town of Petersburg went up into the swamp and packed out water by the bucketful,
 Where was Foshay's when the town needed light other than the old oil lamp and candle?
 Where was Foshay when the Diesel plant became too small to give service to the town?
 Where was Foshay when the town started to build the new power plant?
 Where was Foshay's when Pe- JefSDurg bullt US water dam and but in extensive repairs?
 F'OShay'S were in Minneapolis interested in business to give greater return than tying up capital in new plants in small Alaska communities.
 Not until the hardy citizen of the town insistently and persist |ently demanded the public util- |ities and put them in and had them on a paying basis did Fo- shay's give Petersburg even a second glance.
 When assured from their OWN appraisal and from inspection of the towns books that theutilities WERE a PAYING proposition they come offering a paltry sum for the utilities and power rights.
 Foshay's would not invest one solitary dime if they did not have assurance from the city's records that they would do bet ter than ten per cent NET on their investment.
 It would be a safe bet that they are congratulating them selves on getting an option on 3 power plant and water works for ten cent song.
The Alaskan., 1929-07-19
Where Was that Capital

Where was all that FOShay Minneapolis capital when the citizens packed water from the sWamps by the bucketful and by the barrelful on sleds and what not a few years back?
 Did that Foshay capital offer to come to the aid of Petersburg when it scrimped and struggled to build the water dam? Where were they last year when the dam was raised?
 When the Diesel unit was talk ed of, was ANY OUTSIDE capital willing to come in to aid the ci- tizens install the power unit and it's transmission lines? When the hydro-electric was bonded, did this Minneapolis capital offer to help the city by taking a large block of the bonds? Or did they wait until the utility was on a paying basis before they so much as looked Petersburg way.
 Whose capital investment is it that was made? Is not the sale but an exchange of investment
The Alaskan., 1929-07-19
QUESTIONABLE PROFIT

The sale of the Cold Storage at the sum of $110,000-a little ov- CT investment cost may be good business for some. The small immediate profit on capital il- yeotment. But as a longheal led business deal it is not so good ard the faith in the future e. ;ke town and storage very limit ed.
 he net interest on investment in the plant was five per cent; including bonds retired returns on investment was equivalent to twenty-five per cent. At that rate all bonds would be retired in short order and if necessary a sinking fund established to ex- tend scope of the plants opera tions.
 The returns on investment and sale makes purchase price below par. Foshay is batting his back and congratulating himself for securing a going, paying concern for less than he would be willing to invest in a new plant in the community.

JOHN VAN ORSDELL-JOHN F.
 VAN ORSDELL-WHICH?

John Van Orsdell came to our neighboring town of Wrangell a few years ago, representing him. self as connected with certain "big lumber and timber inter ests." His high pressure sales manship induced the late Harry Gartely to listen to the sirenic song of intensive business, eX- pansion of sales and plant. MT. Van Orsdel went on a timber cruise for the mill (why, no one knows for the Forestry Bureau has always been accommodat) ing), cruised several patches of timber without ever having even gotten off the gasboat, returned to Wrangell and presented a large bill for services, took it out in stock and without any capital investment to speak of, gained managerial control of the Nran- gell Mill and Power Company. He put his friend MT. Doty in as su- perintendent of the mill. DOty kicked out practically all of the resident labor, hired the riffraff and scum of Seattle and began to run the mill into the hole.
 Van Orsdell and his clique o; clackers received large salaries and put more skids under the mill which was being pressured down rather than uphill.
 To save what he had in the wreck, Johnny Grant saw to it that MT. Chisolm had a Shart i:l the mill, also Charley Larwell. At a meeting, of the 1re> tors Promoter Van Orsdell w, given CllC d1l WlCl1 LID p1cl1l UO OCCul . Wrangell Mill and Power fran chise to Foshay interests. Grant had to sink agood many thou sand dollars to save what he had in the wrecked mill. Van Orsdell was made to pay for a lot of lumber he secured while with a certain defunct lumber company on the Sound or go to court and in the forcing of this issue the directors compelled a delay in payment of certain notes for ser vices as timber cruiser.
 The Wrangell Mill Company is again operating but under the management of Nick Nussbaum- CT with capital raised by the va rious business interests of that town. Van Orsdell is out pro- noting other ventures and has lost not even sleep in the ven- ture.

to hold certain truths to be self evident" among which are Life. Liberty and the Pursuit of Hap piness.
 All of which is a lot of boloney for consumption of school kids, alien immigrants and the feeble minded.
 Go fishing once and see how much liberty and happiness you will have-even when fishing le- gally.
 You will find certain ignorant foreignborn citizens Cat least call 'em such) snooping around with a different version of the regulation as set forth by the Bureau of Robber Barons. Next let your set drift past dead line even after the haul has been closed, completed, locked up so that fish can neither get out or in. Your liberty is not then worth the paper it is written on.
 But the traps-fsh after clos ed periods and in close areas and to preserve the industry they are allowed to continue"
 Tn the meantime, you are a~1 rested for illegal fishing by an ignorant nincompoop without the brains of a jellyiSh, taken to court, boat and net confiscated and held to await trial-anytime in the next SO days. If the Rob- Der Barons have stacked the deck, you get off with fine of S4O0. If you fight the case you get it in the neck for being not a base-born slave. "Plead guilty and we let you off with a light fine of $400. Fight and we cCnf1s- cate boat and gear and give you a heavy fine to boot" And the the poor American citjzen-en- Iioying the Life, Liberty and Pur- sit of Happiness, bows hs head ike whipped cur, pleads guilty and is let off with a stiff jolt.
 Worse than any Czaristic days Of Nicholas; worse than the Spanish Iinquisition; worse than the Feudal Barons. For men un- der those systems had NO guar antee of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness guaranteed American citizens. A lasting dis grace to the memory of Thom- as Jefferson. Americans, if free born ye be, go weep for shame at the feudaliStic era set up by the Bureau of Fisheries Robber Ba- rons. And until that system is done away with, call yourselves slaves of O'Malley and his can- nery system of Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle high bind CTS. Free-born American citi- zens. For shame on such a name, it has no place in Alaska. Nay! Nay! Nay!. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of the Alaska fisher men,"

ONTARIO SHOWS THE WAY

plant, and at the present rate of progress will get back it's entire investment in another 15 years, while charging it's customers about one-third the rates pre- vailing in the United States.
 That, in a nutshell, is the last report of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission, sub- mitted to the Ontario provincial parliament last week. (Week of March 23rd).
 It is a little hard to get com lparisons on the United States side of the line that will help Americans un CTS an d the nerve" as we'll as the good man. iagement of these public owner ship Canadians. Enjoy Cheap Electricity Ontario has about 3,OOO,OOO tn- habitants- practically the same as in Indiana. But Indiana has only 35,OOO square miles, while Ontario has ,OOO-or about the same as Texas and New Mex ico together.
 Anyway, here is a community which has staked $1OO per capita of its own money to get cheap ! electricity-and is getting it.
 It is through public ownership all the way through. The pro- vincial commission, better known as the Hydro, develops current and sells it to the mum icipalities, and these in turn re- tail the current to their own people.
 The principle on which the en- terprise is managed is service at cost-with one exception. In ru- ral districts, the province pays half the cost of constructing transmission lines. The average charge for elec- tricity for domestic use is less than 2 cents per kilowatt hour in Ontario, and "A cents in the United States. Hydro's Astounding Growth According to the official re- port mentioned, the growth of the system has been astounding. In 1918, the total investment was $88,000,000.
 In 1928, the investment ran above $3OO,OOO,OOO.
 In 1918, the reserves accumu- lated for the main system and the municipalities distributing systems were 11,5O0,000.
 In 1928, the investment ran |above $3OO,OOO,OOO.
 Tn 1928, the reserve fund had grown to $75,5OO,OOO, AN .IN- CREASE OF MORE THAN .56O PER CENT.
 Tn 1918, Hydro was supplying 317,OO0 horsepower.
 In 1928, it was supplying 1,- 71,000 horsepower.
 In 1922 there were 32O miles of rural lines, supplying 2,226 cus- toners.
 Tn 1928, there were 4,1O3 miles of rural line, supplying 31,O68 customers.
 Has Surplus of S94O,633
 For the 12-month period end- ing October 31, 1928, "after pro- viding for all expenses and meeting all necessary fixed charges" there was surplus of $94O,663.
 In conclusion, the report says that Hydro is "now in the very satisfactory condition of not owing the government single dollar, other than loans on cap- ital account, which are being
