The Alaska fisherman., 1931-01-15

Alaska began and that they were continued into the follow ing decade The growing stop- ped about the time of the first withdrawals, and the largest de- crease came in the period when withdrawals were greatest.
 The great strides made in the decade between 1890 and 1900 were due mostly to the Klon- dike and other placer gold dis coveries and the decrease in the 1910-1920 decade was due large ly to the partial exhaustion of the richest of the placer gold deposits. However, there is no doubt but that thousands of those who were lured north ward by the placer discoveries would have remained in the Ter ritory had it not been for the withdrawals of natural resources that stopped railroad building and other projected develop ment. That caused thousands to leave never to return.
 If we were not so near another election in which some of those who were responsible for the constant attacks upon those who were trying to develop the country are concerned it would probably be admitted that the mudraking of the decade fol- lowing the passage of the law that gave Alaska a Delegate in Congress added it's depressing influence to the withdrawals of coal lands, timber and other re-

RECEIVER FOR FOSHAY
 FIRM FILES REPORT

c, J. Redwood, receiver for the w. B. Foshay Company, in the first formal report to the Federal Court, declared the stockholders of the company will receive nothing and the credi- tors very little from the liquida- tiOn of the assets.
 The report of the receiver said he is considering filing suits against the Directors to recover about $170,000 paid out as divi- dends during six months before the receivership on the ground the dividends were not earned and were unlawfully paid.
 The receivers report lists S12,- 720,000 in claims filed by credi- tors of which $10,273,OO0 are disallowed.
 Editorial note: We cannot help but remind the readers that when Foshay first came to Ket- chikan, We denounced him in these very columns. We told the public that he was a mere promoter, and that while Mor- rissey of the Chronicle was praising Foshay as a great "Ca- pitalist," we predicted his down. fall. For this we were called "Bolsheviks" and "against ca- pital." We knew then that "Fo- shay" began business life as "Forshay." His next appearance will probably as merely Shay" but he will still be all For-shay.

sources. Gen. Richardson who was endeavoring to build roads was attacked and hampered in many ways, and the railroad and copper and fisheries developers were under constant assault.
 However, perhaps it would be better for us to look at the doughnut and not the hole in it. The fact that there has been growth during the last ten years is encouraging. But more en- couraging is the outlook for the development of the pulp and pa- per mills and the utilization of the timber that ought to add very materially to our popula- tion during the next decade"
 Editorial note: It is we'll to compare the decllnlng pOpula- tiOn of Alaska with that of Can- ada as shown in the study reprinted from the Canadi- an Fisherman. In that serious article the Canadians face the issue of it's declining fishing po- pulation frankly. The Empire evades the issue by blaming ex- 4raneOus bureaucratic with draWals of resources, an action of federal political machine which is supported in every way by the Empire.

Police To War
On Auto Noises

Straight exhaust pipes and ille-
gal noise making devices on trucks
and automobiles in Ell Centre will
be the object of open warfare on
the part of the local police depart
ment said Frank Smyer, city trat-
fic officer, today
A number of complaints have been
received by the police department
and the officer stated that in the fu-
ture excess noise in connection with
the operation of an automobile or
truck will be penalized. and the OF
Tending motorist hailed into court to
tell the judge just why the noise
had not been eliminated
In connection with this announce
ment Officer Smyer also asserted
that a number of tickets have al
ready been issued to motorists who
violate truck parking rules on State
and Broadway streets
Enforcement of the U-turn ordi-
nance governing several corners on
Main street will also be undertaken
by the police department soon, said
Smyer. He pointed out that mo-
torists have had sufficient time to
become accustomed to the signs on
corners governed by the ordinance

CUSTARD DESSERTS
WILL BAKE BETTER
IN SMALL DISHES
Coffee is Also Better When
Roasted in Small Lots -
Hills Bros Method

The smaller the dish, the more
evenly and quickly the oven heat
can penetrate to the center of the
custard. Such results cannot be
counted upon when large baking
dishes are used.
Applying this principle to roast
ing their fine blend of coffee, Hills
Bros. found the way to develop uni
form flavor in every ounce. A con-
slant stream of green coffee is
introduced into the roaster in auto
matically measured lots of about
three pounds, and passes through
in a steady flow, roasting little
at a time. There is accurate con-
troll of both the flow of coffee and
the temperature.
This process, patented by Hills
Bros.-Controlled Roasting-de-
velops delicious uniform flavor no
other coffee has. The ordinary
method-roasting in bulk-is vir-
tually lacking in control.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills
Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that
keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is re-
moved from this can and kept out.
Coffee packed in ordinary cans,
even if air-tight, does not stay
fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee
by name and look for the Arab
the trade-mark-on the can.

ANTI-CAMBLINC
STAND MEETING
WITH APPROVAL

At the meeting of the directors
of the El Centro Chamber of Com
merce, held Wednesday night, the
board passed an informal resolution
commencing an editorial recently
appearing in the Calexico Chronicle
and BraWley News which was ad-
verse to gambling in the adjacent
border city. Directors stated that
the people of Imperial Valley would
be much better off economically
could gambling be abolished just
across the line. Board members
indicated that if Calexico decided
20 take definite stand on the mat
ter of the cessation of gambling the
Ell Centre organization would be
glad to follow their suggestions as
to the proper procedure.
The board by unanimous action
decided to decorate the city for the
duration of the Imperial County
fair and Manager Hays was direct
ed to make arrangements for this
decoration.
AS a partial means of alleviating
the unemployment existing in this
city and with the idea of beautify-
ing El Centro, a resolution was
adopted urging that the city coun-
Gil, through its police and street de-
partments, should commence
campaign for cleaning up the va
cant lots in the city, using trans
lent labor at some small wage. Di-
rector Tondro also moved that the
city plant trees on the unused and
abandoned settling basin at the
southwest corner of the city.
Boost Dairy Products
One of the most important mat
ters considered at last nights meet
ing was the sponsoring by the
chamber of commerce of a drive to
Increase the use of milk, butter and
cream within Imperial Valley. At
tention of board members was
called to the fact that the average
consumption in the state or United
States and that, if an active and
systematic campaign is waged the
use Of these products in Imperial
Valley could be greatly increased.
Manager Hays was ordered TO ask
the assistance of Sam Greene and
the California Dairy Council in this
matter and members present
pledged themselves to assist ma
terially in the projected drive and
to donate advertising space and
radio time to induce the Imperial
Valley communities to use more
Of their own local dairy products.
