THE ADMIRAL 8AMP8ON
DEPARTS FOR SOUTH
The Sampson arrived Sunday
noon and loft at 2 o'clock for Se
attle. She had aboard all the can
nery hands of the two canneries
at Seldovia and Fort Graham,
•numbering about 150 and mostly
thinks. Also about 75 first-class
passengers. She also had the last
of the pack from the two canner
ies amounting to 21,000 cases,
*5,000 from Seldovia and the bal
ance from Port Graham. During
the stay of the Sampson iri the
•jnlet they experienced a terrific
storm, the ship dragging her an
chor and ^he was in some danger
'for a short time of going on the
rocks.
liupiaiu w. <«. wnori, ol Sel
dovia, was a through passenger
on the Sampson. The captain is
the manager and the principal
owner of the cannery at that place
and he says I he fish were so
plentiful this season that all the
canneries had a capacity pack.
In regard lo I ho attempt of the
Alaska Packers to freeze out the
small cannery men, aided by the
bijr packing houses now in the
salmon canning industry, the cap
tain says that the market for sal
mon is abundant for all that has
been canned, and that fishing sites
hre too numerous for a success
ful combination. A number of the
canneries might combine and do
"damage owing In shortage of
money lo hold the pack, and the
'necessity of smaller holders mak

'crushed, hut those who could li"ld
Would g«'t a fair price.

The long, continuous rains of
the last few days have had their
effect on the government boule
vard that the government spends
so many thousands of dollars in
maintaining out from Valdez to
Willow creek, where the Chitina
trail connects. James Fish, the
mail contractor, who carries the
summer mail to Gulkana, via Val
dez, has one more mail to deliver.
His cohtract ends on September
f6. But Mr. Fish is very much
d stressed In trying to figure out
just how he' is going to make that
Mast delivery. «He cannot get
through from Valdez, and may not
be able to for some days or weeks.
So this morning he wired over to
Cordova and wanted to know when
he could bring the mail over here
and send it on the train to Chit
ina, there t<> be packed to Gul
kana. As there are at present a
number of wash-outs on the rail
road it is not likely that a train
can get through for a work, al
though mail may be soul through
oarlier on a hand car.—Cordova

The enquiry had absolutely no
lliing to do Willi mail, and Post

the statement, that Mr. Fish has
delivered all the mails under his
contract on schedule time
throughout the entire season. The
last mail of the season having

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
II i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. YaMrz boor aids digestion. Use
if a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, bccause it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
