A n c h orage' T i m es.
A1 Walsh, well-known old-timer in
the Innoko, Iditarod and Lower Kusko
kwim, is at the Anchorage while re
turning from a winter’s visit Outside
Mr. Walsh has large mining properties
in the interior and also operates a fish
ing station on the Lower Kuskokwim.
When Mr. Walsh arrived in Seattle
fast fall he found that his season’s
catch of fish was still unsold and, what
was worse, there seemed to be no mar
ket available. Nothing dismayed, how
ever, Mr. Walsh got in touch with the
American consul of Holland and
through him obtained the names of
prospective fish purchasers in that
country. In a comparatively short
time his entire catch, totaling-several
thousands of dollar^ had been sold to
the Holland dealers. The Holland
dealers declared the Alaska fish su
perior to others secured and have en
tered into a contract with Mr. Walsh
for this year’s product.
