On his Vv*ya!»i"<i(/wn ^be coast re
cently, en route to his Skagway head
quarters from a visit m Anchorage
and ether coast towns, E. A. Rasmus
sen, president of the Bank of Alaska,
found conditions good in virtually
. every community, due to the unusual
ly successful fishing operations. He
observed that all of the fishemen had
money; some of them netted a larger
return • during the season than ever
before; and he observed also' that
they were putting the money in cir
culation, with the iresnlt that business
‘ generally Jhad benefited.
“The > fishermen are riding in air
planes now and the paekers are walk
ing,” was the comment of the banker
in a statement given to the press at
Juneau. “The price of fish is low,
too low, and the packers are not pros
perous. They paide good prices for
salmon, in-some instances .the cost of
raw fish exceeding,the sum received
for the finished pack by. .the canners
on the open market.;,
“This has been had for the packer,
but the prosperity of the. .fishermen
is a wonderful thing ^or the. Terri
tory,” he said.
A. A. Shonbeck bought a partially
cleared farm of 320 acres at Palmer
and installed full equipment, includ>
ing thresher. He invested a total of
I $10,000.
Shonbeck cut this season 200 tons
of wheat, oats, vetch and hay, prac
- tically clearing his investment in one
season The Alaska Railroad, and the
government experimental staff are
greatly interested in his operations..
