HUMAN VIEWS RECORD PACK 
 AT kETCH|kAN
New England Fish Com. pany Resident Agent
 Visits Juneau

Encouraging woru or a record salmon pack for the Ketchikan district this year is brought to Juneau today by H. c. Nunan, resident agent for the New Eng land Fish Company in Alaska. ]
 Things this year are most en- couraging around Ketchikan in the salnion business Nunan said. "A record pack is assured for the canneries, while the fresh and froz- en allotments also are holding up well.
 Our reports show. further, that the more northerly ports, such as Juneau and Sitka, are doing a fair business this year. The activity in these ports is not enormous, by any means, but on the other hand, it is not small."'
 Nunan, who arrived here yes terday on the steamer Alaska from Ketchfkan, his headquarters, has charge of fresh and frozen fish for the New England Company in the Territory.
 He is conferring with Billy Cari- son, Juneau, agent for the firm, this week. Nunan intends to visit Sitka next week.

A particularly bashful and obscure

ing according to copy" and was
down in the ''Y" room, or plating lock-
up section, and all set for the stereo-
type foundry, where the mats and
plates for printing are made, by 10
minutes after midnight. An hour and
a half later 1t was out Of this depart
ment.
BY quarter after the last plates
had come to the press room and IS
minutes later the presses had begun
to whine, rolling out 80 pages of the
Record at time.
Four hours and fifteen minutes later
the edition was of the press-37, 500
copies of brand-new Congressional
Records for poSterity. By 7:l5 they
had been assembled, stitched, sacked
and ready for distribution through the
mails. Their last trip took them
through a special tunnel. on gravity
rollers, under and across the street TO
the City Post Office.
One thousand six hundred and
twenty-five of these Records did not

ivered by special G. P. o. messengers
locally, 80 free copies each to Senators,
so to Representatives and limited
numbers to the White House, Vice
President. Government departments,
Ambassadors and Ministers, Washing
ton newspaper correspondents and the
Library of Congress. 1t costs the Gov
ernment about 100000 year to pub
lish the Record, but any one can sub
scribe to it and have 1t delivered Tor
81 so a month. 1t costs Congress be-
tween s65 900 and $4,000 a year 70
mail the Record.
THE largest issue Of the Record was
L turned out one March day IN 1877,
after the late Senator La Toilette had
run through a lengthy fihbuster on
TRANSPORTATION rates. 1t numbered 365
pages. The smallest Record that can
be issued is eight pages, and this has
occurred frequently when Congress
merely meets to adjourn. On these
days. since the printed matter Of rec
ord will not fill the eight pages (and
in all issues when there are blank
pages In the rear of the Record
there are reprinted what is known at
the G. P. o. as the dead horse
laws and rules for the publication Of
the Record, Government publications
for sale, changes of residence of Hill
men. the addresses of all legislators,
membership of all committees and
other directory information. This is
kept In type and thrown in on all
such occasions.
Rarely has an illustration been al
lowed In the pages of the Record.
Some years ago La Toilette got per-
mission to insert the diagram of a
steer, showing how it is cut up into
meat for the market. In 1880 there
was rejected a proposal to insert a
cartoon by New York artist. More
recently there was an illustration of

All copy comes first, about 7 pm,
into the hands of Ralph Harris.
congressional clerk Of the Planning
Division. His work may be said to
correspond to that Of chief editor Of
the Congressional Record. if such
title were ever to be conferred. 1t is
said, also that the nearest to real
editor the Record has lies in its
supervision by the Joint Committees
(of Senate and House, on Printing.
The law says, this Committee shall
have control of the arrangement and
style of the Congressional Record, and
while providing that it shall be sub
