ANOTHER EXPERIENCE

KETCHIKAN, Alaska. June 19.-- Capt. H. A. Hansen, of the Estep, who refused to sell his halibut catch here on Thursday on account of the low price, and sailed to mar ket his fish at Prince Rupert, re- turned to Ketchikan today. Capt. Hansen said the crowd on the docks at Prince Rupert per- suaded him not to sell his fish there. He denied reports that a group of Canadian fishermen threatened him and his crew with violence.
 The cargo of the Estep, 19,000 pounds, was sold here at the origi-
 nal offer of and Az cents. Fhe Fishing Vessel Owners Assoc
 iation here has communicated with
 Prince Rupert saying no advant-
 age is seen in not allowing Ameri-
 can boats in a Canadian port, in
 asmuch as most of the American
 fish is bought for the American
 market and goes to the same place
 whether sold in Ketchikan, Prince
 Rupert or Seattle.
 Some of the captains and fisher
 men here favor ten-day tieup be- tween trips.

yards in Ballard for the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, nears compile
ton, officers of the Department OF
the Interior are facing their most
perplexing problem since the keel
was laid.
What shall we call the new
ship?' they are asking themselves.
Alaskans in all parts of the Ter
ritory have been requested to send
in names that might be suitable for
the vessel and a flood Of Sugges-
tions have been received. They come
from many towns and villages on
the far flung Alaskan coast from
Ketchikan to the rim of the Arc
tic.
Some Suggestions
Some of the names follow:
Barrow, after Point Barrow in the
Arctic, the farthest north village
the new ship will serve; suggested
by E. K. Burlew, administrative
assistant to the Secretary Of the
Interior
Quenanna, which means thanks
for the service rendered" in the
Eskimo language.
Ikayoon. an Eskimo word which
means helper, or made for serv-
ice"
Other Names
Other names suggested are: Au-
rora, Midnight Sun, Dawn, Wei
come, Chaumai, meaning greeting
in the Eskimo tongue; Boxer No. 2
Northern Star, Walrus, Northern
Lights, Ice King, Relief and In
trepid.
The Mcintosh and Seymour Cor
poration has advised representa-
tives of the Department of the In
terror in Seattle that the 1900
horsepower Diesel engine, built fol-
the new vessel has been shipped
from Auburn, N. Y, and should
arrive in Seattle between January
5 and 10. The date has not beer
set for the launching, but it l:
planned to send the new vesse
down the ways about the middle Of
January. A sponsor is to be Sc.
lected by the Department OF The
Interior. Officers Of the Depart
ment from Washington, D. c., will
take part in the ceremonies.

Hog Prices

The 1881 spring prices are likely
to be much below those of the
spring of 1880. Present conditions
Indicate weak demand on the
part of storage operators during
the coming spring, due to heavy
losses incurred this past fall and
winter on eggs stored last spring.
Further it is expected that there
will be a considerable decrease in
hatchings this year by CONNER
cial hatcheries.
The outlook for the fall and win
ter of 1892 is little more en-
couraging. With the prospective
decrease in number of pullets to
be raised this year, laying flocks
next fall are likely to be smaller
than in the fall of 1880. Smaller
cold storage holdings will also aft
ford less competition to the fresh
egg receipts. Prices should, there
fore, be above those of the CORES
ponding period in the preceding
year. Any Improvement in the eco
nomic situation during the last half
of the year will be an added factor
in strengthening egg prices.

Farm prices for turkeys for 1880
Thanksgiving market were about
&c lower per pound than the prev
ious year in spite of the decrease
in the size of the turkey crop. Re-
tail prices were but slightly lower
than in 1929. The prevailing indus
trial conditions were probably
largely responsible for the falling
off in price thru the winter
months. The market, however, inn
proved somewhat later in the win
ter and supplies were rather clean
up by the Christmas trade.

The Turkey Outlook for 1881

u
Notwithstanding the decrease in
numbers of turkeys produced in
1880 compared with 1929, the tend
ency during the recent years to-
ward an upward trend in turkey
production seems destined to con-
tinue, due to the increasing num-
Der and size of specialized flocks
handled on commercial scale by
producers using modern methods.
Improved methods of incubating
and brooding are reducing the cost
of raising turkeys and making it
possible to sell them at prices
nearer to the market price of
chickens. This narrowed price diff
ferential, if continued, will increase
the consumption sufficiently to abb
sorb material increase in produc-
ton.
Regarding the 1881 outlook, no
definite conclusion can be drawn
because of the general lack of in
formation, coupled with the partic-
ular uncertainties of turkey rails
ing due to weather conditions. And
while largely overcome by those
using the improved methods of
breeding the losses from unfavor-
able weather are still an import
ant element in the number of tur-
keys raised from the ordinary small
flock of poults allowed to range
with them. The extreme light stor-
age reserve of turkeys and the
prospects of light imports are
favorable for the 1881 turkey pro-
Queer.

The Tomato Outlook for 1881

The Tomato Outlook for 1881
The harvesting acreage for to-
matoe production for market reach
ed its outstanding point in 1880.
There was an increase of II per-
cent over 1929, which is about %
percent above the previous five
year average. The average yield
per acre was decreased about 10
percent partly because of the pro-
longed drought, this being the low
est yield per acre in the past ID
years. The average price received
by growers for tomatoes in 1880
was the lowest in the last IL years
except in 1927. 1t is evident that
plants of this crop have been ex-
panded too rapidly during recent
seasons. With the probability OF
higher yields in 1881 than last
year reduction in the total to-
mato acreage seems advisable.
The above is almost direct quo
tation from u. S. D. A. outlook.
Paintings locally might differ
somewhat due to our somewhat is
olated situation as far as tomatoes
are concerned, but it would look as
though careful attention should be
given to the outlook information.
