the Anchorage Times, in a cablegram

and obviously full of misinformation.
1 realize the Times is not responsible,
since the purported interview was

To further the stabilization of the
Alaska salmon packing industry, as
well as ihat of Puget Sound. thi-w
independent packing companies re
cently formed an organization known
as the Northwest Salmon Canners’
Association. The aims of the associa
tion incluue: Establishment of closer
j re.ation3hip between its members and
correction of certain abuses existing
in the marketing end of the industry.
One of tne first steps taken by the
new organization was to pledge the
members to support Alaska industries
! and businesses by purchase of all
: possible supplies in the Territory.
! Particular attention was calle dto the
demand in certain markets for fibre
boxes, and it was agreed that those
packers who found t necessary on
that account to use a portionn of liber
boxes should see to it that the bal
ance of their wood boxes would be
bought in the Territory, so that saw
mills here would not suffer from this
new competition. The association
members will also give a preference
to local labor where it can be assured
of a supply of workmen. The initial
membership of the new organization
controls such a substantial proportion ■
of Alaska’s annual salmon pack that
it can be an important factor in the
industry. The 30 member companies
represent an average annual pack of
approximately 1,400,000 cases of sal
mon.
A. A. Hhonbeck, well known An
chorage ’merchant, is going into the
farming business «n a larg escale in
the; Pdtmer district. Mr. Shonbeck
purchased the Winters homestead
there last fall, and since has been
busy miking plans for its develop
ment. t'ne first thing he did was to
put a hay baler on the farm to bale
the season's crop, and now has or
dered a .Caterpillar tractor, plow,
driller, seeder and other equipment
for use in the spring.
