; SARDINE PLANT
It has just leaked out that a
capitalist was out witi a party look
I iiig over tba field of possibilities,
with the view of establishing along
i this coast, a sardine plant.
For several yearn, a resident of
: Kake, Alaska and leader of tho
' party, who is somewUat of aa ex
j pert In the business, has had the
! plan under consideration, but owing
to lack of funds, could not accom
plish much until recently when lie
finally succeeded in getting the
necessary capital interested to
further the project.
A great deal of the so-called can
ned sardine found on the market, is
imported from Norway. These sar
j dines, it is claimed, are nothing
more than small herrings and found
iu abundance in, these waters.
Provided the quality is here, there
ia no reason why a plant should
uot nay a goodly income on a com
paratively small investment. How
ever, ths outcome will be watched
with more than a passing interest.

TAKING A MIXING Ol'TFIT
INTO Ml NOOK CHEEK
W. II. Suksdorf, representing
Rastern capital, passed through this
morning on his way into the inter
!or in company with two other men.
He is taking in a dredge and other
mining machinery for the working
of placer claims 011 Minook creek,
near Rampart.
Part of the.machinery has not
yet arrived, but will be brought up
by another gang of men who are
coming into the north in about two
weeks.
For years the Pacific Coast &
Norway Packing Co., liaa endeavor
ed to convince the youug women of
the town that there ,was no disgrace
in working in the cannery, all to no
avail. It was not until lately that
j u real leader was found who used
j Uer intelligence and arrived at the
same conclusion. Now they are all
doing it. '
In a large and clean warehouse
in which the cans are brought from
the cannery proper, are to be seen
nowdays working—but never talk
ing, no never—a score of young
women who are not In the least dis
turbed at the appearance ot a vis
itor. Under the leadership of aa
intelligent leader the immaglnary
sense of impropriety has entirely
disappeared.
Thi cans when brought lato the
wharehouse are clean and by th«
young women are neatly wrapped la
tissue paper and labeled. BwUlw
the earning of a little pla aooiWf,
the recreation derived is very laucti
enjoyed.
The work Is not by the day, J>ut
by the job. They may work all
day or they may quit at their plaaa
sure. This arrangement makes IX
easy for anybody to try his haai at
the innovation.—Petersburg Progres
