 Provides New Payroll

A new industry adding to Wran- gells payroll was started last week when the Alaskan Glacier Sea Food Co. opened it's shrimp and crab cannery in the building formerly oc- cupted by the Stikine Sea Food Com pany which closed operations early last spring. The new company head ed by Earl Dinner. well known shrimp packer of Petersburg. com menced operations on Monday of last week with a full crew.

 The closing of the Stikine Sea Food Company cannery was a blow to the business life of Wrangell, as it operated the year round with a full crew, and a pay roll of approximately $25,00O an- nually. However, with the opening of the new cannery the shrimp and crab canning business will be re- yived and the much needed payroll restored. It is the purpose of the company to employ all local help and when it is better established will commence fishing and canning crabs.

NuSSbaumer Sewers
 Connection With Mill

The Wrangell saWmill, leased for the past four years by N. Nussbaum- CT, and operated under the firm name of Alaska Spruce & Cedar Products Company, closed for the season Wednesday. Mr. Nussbaumer is not renewing the lease and has severed all connection with the mill
 The mill has held an important part in the life of the community for over forty years. For years after the death of both Captain Wilson and Rufus Sylvester it was operat- ed as the Wilson & Sylvester Com pany. Early in the winter of 1918 the mill burned to the ground. The company was reorganized and the mill rebuilt.
 Following financial stress the Bank of Alaska held the mill for some time as trustees for the bond holders. Last spring at Marshal's sale all the mill properties were bought in by F. s. Barnes of the Wrangell Packing Company.
 Just what will be the future of the mill is not as yet known. MT. Barnes stated today that he will endeayor to interest mill men in the states when he goes south in few months.

ALASKA R. R. SELLS SCRAP
 IRON TO JAPAN INTERESTS

The SS Masunda, a 5000 ton ship flying the British flag, will dock at Seward at any time for the purpose of taking aboard 4,O00 tons of scrap iron, furnished by the Alaska Rail- road, according to the Seward Gate way. The iron will be delivered to rivately-owned concerns in Japan. The ship, it is thought will require six days in loading.
 Such was the word brought to Seward by D. J. Hamilton, represent ing the Girdwood Shipping Co.,, of Seattle, who has the ship under charter, and H. E. Keisler, purchas- ing agent for the contracting firms.
 Fill Cargo Vancouver
 Following the taking of iron ship ment at Seward. the ship will pro ceed to Vancouver, B. c. where it will complete cargo, and thereupon sail for the Orient. The. Masunda will arrive at Seward empty.
 The scrap iron, which has been assembled all along the line, and is now rolling into Seward, will be melted down in Japan foundries and be made usable for new con- struction. Asked why in their opin- ion this reduction process was not carried on in this country, the of ficials stated it was due to over head costs.
 The belief, prevalent in many quarters, that such reduction was for the purpose of providing cheap armaments and missiles of warfare, was passed over by MT. Keisler with smile Nothing to it, at all, he said. The old iron is simply melted down and made into new, and is used for ship building or whatever commer- cial uses might arise.
