EVAPORATED AND FRESH
MILK I'SfcD IV 'ntK AwiY
Washington, Aug. j20.'—During
the first seven months of the pres
ent year the Army required 1,612,
313 ci-seslof evaporated milk. ThjJ
number of cases is equivalent to |
77,391,024 qiiarta of fresh milk, I
and t took approximately 50 milk i
concerns to furnish, this amount.
Evaporated mil* isjan important
element entering into the Boldier'g
ration. It is even more important
'n Fwnc« than ^n this country, for
there the rate of actual consump
tion i^y the Amercan troops | is
four *imes the allowance specified
in the Army ration.
The Subsistence Div'sion of the
Quartermaster Corps exercised great
care to see that the milk is in ster
ile condition and thai it contains
the required percentage of fata and
solids when it reaches the sol
diers. Every car of milk for |the
Army is inspected and chemical
analyst made before being issued
for consumption.
BUSINESS MEN TO THK
RESCUE OF CANNERY
That the labor situation jat
Ketchikan has become a question
of gravemoment is shwon by the fol
lowing article taken from the Pro
gressive MinA- for Aug. 14:
Shades of Hamlet! A longshore
man? Yes, that will be the fashion
able pastime in Ketchikan next
Tuesday -when the little steamer
Norwood sails into port with some
20,000 odd c^ses of empty cans for
the Fidalgo Island Packing Com
pany, and scores of business men
about town release one or two of
their employes or go themselves
and 9ssist Geo. F. Rounse'eli, su
perintendent of the cannery to un
load *he cans.
The situation is really a serious
one, longshoremen being about as
scarce in this man's town as the
proverbial hen's teeth. Mr. Rounse*
fell, always resourceful however,
employed a little "sob stuff" a
mong his friends, with the above re
sult .that nearly al' the business
houses in town have agreed to lend
a hand in unloading the cans and
piling the cases in the big loft up
above the cannery. The muuificent
wage of $1 per hour will be paid
and a Dig supper besides, ^says Mr
Rounsefell. l£j|i

STICK TO THE NORTH WARNING
"Laborers should stick to their
jobs'tn Alaska. Aside from the
shipbuilding' centers in the states
everything is quiet 'Business is
as good in Seward as it is in [hun
dred o' towns right In the Pacific
Northwest." This was the advice
and information given by Harry
Ellsworth who returned |on the
Admirr! Farragut last nigbt after a
visit In the states for several
weeks. jMrs. Ellworta and daughter
Thelmi accompanied by Ellsworth
on the southern trip also returned
last i.'jht|oii the steamer.
"We visited Portlannd, Spokane,
Seattle, and other places in the
Northwest," fsaid Mr. Ellsworth,
"and as I say it Is quiet with the
exception of the shlpouildlng centers
Thousands of men are flocking to
Tacoma, Portland and Seattle. Ev
ery morning thousands of men re
port for labor at the ship yarda and
possibly one'or two dozen are drawn
and then only for a couple of days
work, at | the longest two weeks. At
SpokaDe, laDorers have gone to
the coast and [the farmers are call
ing for help in the fields. As I see
it, nothing asid© |from war indus
tries, is booming. Living is also
high, hotel rooms being scarce ^nd
apartment houses are filled'.'"
In speaking of the sailings of
his 'vessels, Agent Shaw of the
Alaska Steamsnip, company said
this morning that he jbelieved that
theS t* Alaska soiled' from [Seattle
yesterdsy, and that he had received
advice that'the -Str. Jefferson would
sail from Seattle tomorrow for this
port. |
It J* believed that the Str. City
Df Seattle sailed from Seattle yes
terday j for this pwrt, and| that she
will sail from here for the south
