 and Whites l Cent

King salmon prices have ad- vanced. Offers of buyers to fish ermen are cents a pound high CT on the best and most plentiful grade.

 The increase of 2 cents pound is on the large reds and IFS per cent of the present catches off Cape Ommaney are large fish" Wallis S. George, President and Manager of the Juneau Cold Stor- age, said today.
 VIII Meet Any Increase
 The Jeneau Cold Storage Com pany and the Sebastian Stuart Fish Company, which has an ag- ency in this city, the New England Fish Company, the Marlyn Fish Company and Melchoir, Armstrong and Dessau, which have headquar- ters at ketchikan, are paying the 6, and 1 cent prices for Cape Ommaney king salmon" MT. George declared. The Cold Stor- age will meet any further ad- vances that may be made by buy CTS of aily companies.
 The r1esent advance is due to the fact that kings of the Fall run are fatter and of better quality than kings of the earlier runs. The large reds are in greater demand

Obtain Elsewhere


 Will Obtain Elsewhere
 While the new high prices rule now only on Cape Ommaney fist they will obtain also at Sitka and in Icy Strait just as soon as the runs of echoes in those waters are ended.
 Boats off Cape Ommaney buy ing kings for the Cold Storage are the Virginia, the Emma and the Galveston.
 The late run of echoes is char aoterized by red-skinned fish, which are not considered No. 1 quality.
 The Cold Storage has complet- ed it's seasons pack of echoes. As a consequence, we have quit buying at Sitka, and will not re- sume buying there until the run Of echoes is over.
 "Cohoe prices to fishermen have been Is cents a fish on the ground ana 20 cents a fish delivered"
 Halibut receipts at Juneau have been light. Buyers quotations to fishermen this week are 31a cents a pound first grade and ? cents a pound second grade.

He Falls In Love
A. handsome Pullman porter
fell deeply in love with a
sweet little colored gal in
Birmingham, Ala. So COM
pletely did he fall, in fact, that
he asked the lady to become
his wife.
The lady agreed that it
might not be a bad idea to
enter the state Of holy wedlock,
which is just across the border
from the State Of Alabama.
And when the porter left on his
train for New York that night,
it was with the understanding
that they were to be welded as
soon as he had outfitted an
apartment in Harlem.
The wife-to-be was a damSel
who wished to be supported in
q style to which she was un-
accustomed. Never having had
too much, she was going to
make the very best of this op-
portunity.
Honey chile" she informed
him, "Ah wants a place dat is
de fines you can provide.
When yo' an me is livin' in de
matrimonial state, Ah wants to
be proud of nah home. Re-
member what Ah'm tellin' yo.'
All wants de bestes' Of every

Her fiance kissed her de-
votedly.
"Esmerelda," he murmured,
"dere amt nothin' in de world

yo.'
"oh'm a man dat don't make
no idle boasts. No, indeedy.
Ah'm gonna furnish a flat

Steals Furnishings
But alas and a lack of
funds! The Pullman porter was
suffering from an acute attack
Of HooveritiS. He had very lit
tie funds with which to make
good his boast of a fine home.
He wracked his brains and he
finally hit upon the only pos
Sible solution. He rented an
unfurnished flat in Harlem and
then, to furnish it, began a
systematic method Of swiping
things from the Pullman COM
pany.
From an upper berth, he took
an alleged mattress. From
another he took a pillow. From
q drawing room, he copped an
electric fan. From the diner,
he Smuggled off plates and
knives and forks. From under
meath a chair, he took a foot
rest. This went on for some
time-with the porter growing
so rash that he finally took a
gate from one Of the cars in
order to place it in the
entrance to his parlor.
In due time, the apartment
was outfitted in tasty Pullman
fashion. He wired his Wife-to-
be and told her to come to
New York Immediately. On the
night before she was scheduled
to arrive, however, he invited

CHAIN HOTEL PLAN
DECLARED "TON|C'
Ralph Hitz Declares Such
Operations Will Counter
act Trade Slump.

Chain hotel operation is a tonic
that should be applied to the hotel
business of the country to counteract
the effects of the depression, in the
opinion of Ralph Hitz president of one
of the largest New York hotels and of
National Hotel Management. Inc.
With $5,OOO,OOO 900 invested in build
ingS and equipment, the hotel business
forms one of the largest groups of real
estate investments in the country, Mr.
HitZ points out in an article in the
Bankers Magazine.
1t is reported that out of every dol
lar taken in from guests by the aver
age hotel II cents goes to bondholders
as interest. cents is applied to taxes
and insurance, 9 cents to depreciation,
81 cents to pay roll, 10 cents to mer-
chandise such as food and beverages,
etc. and % cents to supplies and sundry
items.
"One Of the chief advantages Of chain
hotel operation lies in the financial
ability of the chain to obtain the serv-
ices of experts in the various depart
mentS of hotel which its units could
Evening star., 1932-08-06

not afford to pay for were they oper-
ated separately" Mr.. Hitz writes.
Another large saving can be effected
in pooling the advertising appropri-
ations of hotels to attract the widest
possible attention at a minimum OF
cost, according to Mr.. Hitz.
Exchange of ideas in the food de-
partments, collective purchasing, stand
ardized service, greater opportunity for
advancement of its employees and the
ability to hire competent executive
supervision also are cited as advantages
"a comparatively few hotel chains
have been operating for several decades,
but the number of hotels they operate
constitutes a small percentage of the
total number in the country.
Out of the 1888 hotels of 25 rooms
or more in the United States and
Canada only 474 are operated as part
of chains of three or more hotels. This
is slightly more than 2l2 per cent of
the hotels in the two countries. These
474 hotels are grouped into 80 chains
and their total room capacity will not
greatly exceed per cent of the 1885,

Wakefield DRAWS
10000 VISITORS.
Travellers From 43 States
and 10 Foreign Nations See
Washington's Birthplace.

More than $4,000 persons visited
Wakefield, birthplace Of George Wash
ington, during the past year, the first
for which an official record was kept
it is reported by Arno B. Cammerer
acting director of the National Park
Service. The travel count was begun
in July, 1881.
Although its restoration program is
not yet entirely completed. and it is
not directly on the heavily Travelled
routes of the Old Dominion, visitors
from 43 States and 10 foreign coun-
tries totaling nearly 5000, were re-
ported for one month recently. During
January the most unfavorable month
for travel, approximately TOO persons
visited the shrine.
The development program for Wake
field, in accordance with the original
plans Of the Wakefield National Me-
mortal Association and the National
Park Service, has progressed rapidly in
recent months, Mr.. Cammerer stated.
Three ranger historians, students from
William and Mary College Harvard and
the Virginia Military Institute, are on
duty at Wakefield for the Summer
months to assist visitors in securing as
much educational benefit as possible.
The plan to establish a museum of
Colonial relics in the Mansion is being
carried out rapidly. Already two exhi-
bition tables, loan from the National
Museum, are filled with articles COL
lected at the site of the birth house
and the site of the home of Washing
tons great-grandfather, John Wash
ington.
Among the relics from the latter
place are an andiron, seven clay pipe
bowls. pair of stirrups. a sword han
die, five pewter spoons, a broken candle
Snuffer, two horseShoeS and lock with
a key. Some OF the relics from the
Wakefield Mansion site are a brass
candlestick. two table forks, a broken
goblet, two hatchets, an old hinge and
several pieces of porcelain.
A grandfather'S clock said to have
been made in England in 100 has been
purchased by the Wakefield National
Memorial Association from the Penn
Sylvania Museum of Art and Is now in
place in the lower hall of the Mansion
House, where it is attracting much at
tention. A portable barometer, manu-
factured under a British patent granted
in 1895, has also been purchased from
the same source as a gift to Wake
field The barometer Is not in work
ing order, however, and it is planned to
send 1t to the Bureau Of Standards for
repair before 1t is displayed at Wake
field. A gavel made from the wood of
a tree that grew within the cellar
walls Of the ruins Of the original house
and was cleared out at the time of the
erection of the Government monument
on the site in 1896 has been donated
to the museum collection as a gift from
the D. c. Commandery, Military Order
Of the Loyal Legion Of the United
States.
