Ship 100000
Lbs. Fish From
Seward Plant

For the third time this season an
ocean going ship will berth at the
Seward Fish and Cold Storage
dock to take on a quarter million
pounds of frozen halibut, when the
PalisanO returns from Kodiak next
week.
This is the first season in prob
ably twenty years that deep sea
vessels have tied up at the cold
storage dock to load fish, and this
was only possible because the city
purchased the plant from the War
Assets Administration so that the
nation could have the benefit of
the fine halibut banks located just
a few miles from Seward.
With the completion Of the new
mooring float in the small boat
harbor and the renovation of the
cold storage facilities, Seward now
has a real part in the great fishing
industry of Alaska.
The Seward Fish and Cold Stor-
age Company is operated by
partnership of four men, Reilly,
Burns, Wilmans and Pege, under a
lease from the city.
Since the halibut season began,
the huge frozen fish have been
piled high like cordwood in the
huge holding rooms while awaiting
shipment. The large shipment 60
ing out next week will be the last
of the halibut for this season.
Besides halibut, the cold storage
plant handles black cod and sal
mon, and it is the belief of the
partners that there is enough good
bottom fishing in these waters to
provide a year-round industry in
the area. Recent surveys of the
Fish and Wildlife Service tend to
bear out their contention.

Since the General Assembly in its
1949 session amended the State Min

Diesels Now Hauling
Freight-Coal Trains

The diesel-electfic locomotive has
stuck its streamlined nose into an
other stronghold of the romantic old
steam engine.
The Baltimore and Ohio has put
seven of the oil burners on the job of
helping push and pull its trains over
the steep mainline grades between
Newburg and Piedmont, w. Va.
Mountain helper service had seemed
a safe refuge fes the steam loco
motive which has been disappearing
in switching yards and at the head
end of fast freights and passengers.
The B. and O. said the seven diesels
will eliminate several times as
many" big DOUBLE ointed mallets, one
of the most powerful steam loco
motive types ever built. One of the
difficulties in adapting the diesel
electric for helper service was elabor-
ate gear and wiring arrangements
needed for the creeping speeds at
which heavy freights move over the
mountains.
The seven locomotives generate
5000 horsepower each. Each is made
up of four units.

Six Cars In Wreck

There were tenders all over the
highway on Monday afternoon, figur-
atively speaking, when six automo-
biles piled up on a straight-away on
route 220, north of Rawlings. One Of

gated, gave this version.

lowing and struck the rear of Warn
ick's car. Higgins car was struck by
machine operated by Ralph w Poe,

auto driven by Edgar johnson, West

Richard NJ. Frye, Keyser, headed

saw the jam-up but was unable to
stop. He swerved to the left to go
around but in doing so collided with
an oncoming machine driven by Davie
E. Malone, Cumberland.

placed against Higgins, Poe, johnson
and Frye. Warwick and Malone were
summoned as witnesses. AT a hearing

Rathbun's Request Draws Reply
From Finance Committee, But
All Favor New and Bigger
Library

A dividend of fifty percent amount
ing to $4,000, on all of its shares of
stock, was declared at a meeting of
the Oakland Centennial Commission
at its meeting last Friday night, but
the suggestion of F. E. Rathbun, Cen
tennial chairman, in letter to stock
holders, that it be applied toward a
library building brought a reaction
from the Finance committee during
the week.
Mr. Rathbun explained in a letter
to the 100 stockholders that E. E.
Enlow, Sebastopol, California, had
offered to provide $4,000 for a
library building providing $4,000 was
raised among citizens of this COM
munity. He pointed out that it would
take all hundred of the $4,000 divi-
dends to total the $4,000 and asked
for a 100 percent return of an auth
orization to use the dividends for
that specific purpose which would
"see something permanent for our
community and county coming out of
the recent Centennial Celebration"
He further explained that if Mr..
Enlow provided the above amount,
that building so by 60 feet instead
of AZ by 60, could be erected on the
lot, corner of Second and Center
streets. The lot already has been pur-
chased and about $1,000 additional
needs to be raised by the Board of
Library Trustees to pay for the
ground. Mr.. Enlow already has con-
tributed several thousand dollars to-
ward the proposed library.
Members of the finance committee
of the Oakland Centennial followed
Mr. Rathbun's letter with one of their
own, explaining their position in the
matter. They declared they accepted
their assignment of soliciting pledges
and later collecting the pledges with
the understanding that after all ex-
penses of the Centennial were paid
the stockholders were to receive a
check for pro-rata share of the money
remaining.
They explained eve hold no malice
toward any individual or group con-
nected with the Centennial. Fact of
the matter is we would like to go on
record here and now as congratulating
them all on a job we'll DONE
Gas individuals we are heartily in
accord with any movement for the
betterment of our community, be it
Library, Hospital or any other worthy
cause. We are opposed on principle,
to even the slightest inference as to
how you shall spend the money due
you on your Centennial stock.
Further, we would like to go on
record as favoring a return of any
signed Authorization of payment"
of your $4,000 dividend, if you so de-
sire, after fully understanding our
position in the matter"
This letter was signed by D. Emroy
Bolden, Irwin Field, Mason Glotfelty,
j. Edward Helbig, Lowell LOOMS,
Paul B. Naylor, Irwin r. Rudy, How
