over the Snug 'Harbor plant this
year. It having 'formerly been oper
ated by the Polar Fisheries Company.
Mr Halferty snid ills company ex
pects to put the plant on a success
ful operating basis this year, despite
tlio fact it has been unsuccessful the
past four years.
i “We have been successful with
Jour clam cannery at Cordova and
I are now experimenting with an ex
tension of the industry in Alaska.”
i Mr. Halferty said he believes the
| promotion of industry by securing
j capital in Alaska is the only hope of
' future development of the Territory.
; It is necessary that canit.il come
| Into the Territory for the life of
j other business which goes to make a
I successful city and people, he said.
“Big interests are wary of in
vesting money in Alaska because they
! believe the statements and policies of
j a few persons interested in Terri
torial affairs to lie the sentiment of
! all the people. There is plenty of
; money to be invested in the develop
ment of Alaska and its use should be
'encouraged by Alaskans."
