The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

CANNERIES ARE PREPARING
FOR AN ACTIVE SEASON
TWENTY NEW PACKING ESTABLISHMENTS ARE BEING BUILT
ALONG THE COA8T OF ALA8KA AND INCREASE OF OUT
PUT OF FI8HINQ INDUSTRY WILL BE ENORMOUS
The fishing .season will soon
bo here ami the. canneries arc al
ready making preparations lo
take full advantage by preparing
in advance. On the Alameda to
day are several prominent men
who are interested in the fishing
industry and have come north at
an unusually early date. They
have come to either enlarge tin*
capacities of their plants or to
establish new canneries.
Col. W. (i. Whorf. of the Sel
dovia Salmon Cunning company,
is among Ili<' number and slated
that many new canneries were
being built in Alaska and would
be in operation before the close
of the present season. The com
pany in which he is interested has
doubled the capacity of its can
nery ami is now equipped to put >
np OO.rtOO cases during the sea
son.
Fred I>i»\"is. superintendent ofi
the l.ibby, McNeil and l.ibl.v Pack
ing company, goes west to start j
the work of building a cannery at i
Kenai. It will have a capacity ofl
00,000 eases of salmon per sea- \
son.
The Fidalgo Packing company,
composed (if Vancouver capital
ists, will establish a cannery al
Fort (Iraham. Its capacity will
he the same as the'others, 00,00(1
cases. This company now has
17 canneries in British Colum
bia and their entrance into Alas
ka is an indication that they have
kepi posted on Alaskan condi
tions. Carl Sutter will represent
the company in Alaska.
ItlodKctt & Blin, of 'Kodiak,
have their cannery completed al
Oh] Woman's bay on Kodiak is
land. and are prepared to put up
a capacity pack of 20,000 cases.
Throe outfits were fin the Ala
meda en route to Chipnik to pre
pare for the cominj; season's
\%.>rk. They i epresenl the Alaska
Packers' association, the North
wester.i fisheries Co. and the Co
lumbia Hiver Packers. Twenty
neu canneries are now under con
si ruction alonff the coast of Alas
ka and all will lie completed in
time to enable them to put up a
capacity pack fir a pood portion
of I he season's catch. The in
stallation of the new canneries
will result in an enormous in
crease of (he output of Alaskan
fisheries.
