FORMER CANNERYMAN SAYS INDUSTRY NOW NEEDS BET TER MARKETING CONDITIONS MOST OF ALL

George T. Myers, for years prom inent in the salmon canning indus try in Alaska, returned hast week from a vacation trip to eastern Washington and Idaho. Although he has disposed of his salmon can ming interests, MT. Myers is still a fisherman and makes a sport and pastime of what was once his busi- ness.
 .I am out of the salmon busi- ness," said MT. Myers, but of course when one has spent most of his business life in one line of en- deavor. it is hard to lose interest entirely, and I find myself follow ing the industry almost as carefully now as I did when I was actively engaged in it.
 Il believe that the industry Is now getting on a more carefully managed and more stable basis than ever before in it's history. The old days, the days of helter skelter catch-as-catch-can salmon packing, are finished, and today the industry is on a firmer foundation than ever before in it's history.
 Of course the packers them selves have brought a great deal of this about through better organ ization, more careful and more stringent rules, but the government supervision under the administra- tion of Henry O'Malley has had a great deal to do with this improv- ed condition. The regulations put in force by Henry 0'Malley are bound to have a beneficial influence on the industry. It will show up to better advantage in the future than it is doing at present. What we need now, and I am speaking more from the standpoint of one who is interested than one who is engaged in the industry, is better marketing conditions. A product with the high food value of salmon should not be at the mercy of spec ulators-it is worthy of and is en- titled to a stabilized price. Alas ka Wekly.

MEET THE EDITOR


 the Wrangell Sentinel appears un- den new management, and since precedent and public interest re- quire something in the way of a declaration of policy and intentions on the part of the incoming editor, the following statement is made.
 A well-known contemporary in the States carries the slogan, All the News That's Fit to Print. Al though exception could be taken by some to the interpretation placed on the slogan by the newspaper in question, the idea is nevertheless a good one, and one which the Sen tinel hopes to incorporate in its presentation Of news to its readers. Much which might be called news is in reality gossip, and the Sen tinel reserves the right to deter mine what is legitimate news and what is idle or malicious heresay, and to publish or ignore it accord ingly.
 In politics the Sentinel will be independent, having no axe to grind and not intending to turn a selfish grindstone for anyone else. There are plenty of good men avail able in Alaska to fill the political positions, and the Sentinel consid- CTS it ridiculous to presume that any party has a monopoly on merit.
 The Sentinel will be anti-Prohi- bition insofar as the present sorry state of affairs is concerned; but the editor personally is dry and firmly of the opinion that liquor has never caused anything but trouble, and of the further opinion that the solution of this question lies in education and not in com pulsion.
 The Sentinel will not be con cerned with the personal morals of other people, and will have no de- sire to regulate or reform the world or any part thereof. The en- deaYor will be to give a square deal to all, and the Sentinel will expect the same in return, due all lowance being made for the frail- ties of human nature.
 In no thing should the Sentinel be regarded as attempting to in f1uence or sway the sentiment of the community on any question, ex- cept when it may so appear in a statement signed by the editor. The editor of a newspaper is entitled to express a personal opinion as much as any other private citizen, and the present editor claims that right.
 At the same time the columns of the Sentinel will be open to any other citizen who may wish to ex- press himself on any topic, the only restrictions being that such com munications be not too long, not abusive or libelous, and be signed with the name of the writer, al- though the writer's name will not be published if so desired.
 The endeavpr will be to give Wrangell as good a newspaper as the community will support, and it should be understood that a newspaper, no less than a grocery store, needs something more sub stantial than cheers to enable it to meet it's obligations.
 The editor bespeaks the cooper ation and lenieney of the commun- ity until he is settled and discov- CTS which way is up and how far is down.

The drys seemed intent on

the prohibition bureau to the De

ferring police magistrate powers

Liggett cleared up the mystery
of Aliens status and his own just
before entering the grand jury
room.
'"Ie is my employe and work
ing for me only" Liggett said
"He has had a turbulent career
as a police officer in Washington
and lifted the lid off lot OF
stuff there. I think he has
shown he is capable of doing the
same here.

Prohibition Administrator John
F. c. Herbert, formerly in charge
of the Maryland-DiStriCt of Colum-
bia-Northern Virginia prohibition
district, but now in charge Of the
Idaho Montana region, is "in line"
for cary dismissal, it was learned
by The Washington Times.
Herbert's former assistant. John
J. Quinn, was dismissed several
months ago. although prohibition
officials had been claiming he
was sent to Texas. When Com
missioner Doran was confronted
with the fact that Quinn was in
Washington Thursday looking

reports which had emanated from
his office were not correct.

Herbert and Quinn were tried
before Civil Service board in a

had been sent to the Montana
office and Quinn to Texas. Doran
explained this change as only a
"Shake-up" for the good of the
service. Yesterday it was dis
covered that Quinn. against whom
the most serious charges were
placed. had actually been dis
