As a goneral tiling tho fisheries and canneries In Alaska are of mighty little use in building up the couutry. How ever, it appears that the New England Fish Co., which has recently located at Ketchikau, proposes to do thiugs on a j difForeut plan. Work has already bo- ( gun on the plant, of which the Pacific | Fisherman says: The buildiugs will represent an in vestment. of several hundred thouaand dollars and are ot such a nature that | they cannot be moved or stripped to advautage, heuce the extreme caution of the company in deciding on a site.; It will be necessary to build a big dock } for the lauding of the large steamers of j the company, just below the Ketchikan j canuory, aud work will be rushed for- ! ward at once iu tho expectation of be- ! ing ready for the fall fishing. The plant proper will embrace eleven large buildings, one of them, the freezing house, 05x100 feet and three storios high, holding houses, eto., and these will be supplied with two sixty-five ' ton ioo machines, together with all the ; requirements aud equipments essential i to tho conduot of a very largo business. ' The plan contemplates likewise the erection of eeventy-flvo cottages for j the accommodation of the employes, to be ready for occupancy as &oon as re required. It should be stated in this conneo- J tion that this will be no ordinary fish- j iug Industry, devoted to special branch es of the business and operating only during certain seasons, as in the case of salmon canneries and other fisheries but will be operated airtho year round i without intermission. The company owns large sea going and deep sea Ash ing tugs, and will in addition buy and prepare for the market all the fresh fish of marketable quality found in Pa cific waters, thus furnishing a market for all the fish the independent fisher men have to offer for sale. He Had Broken Something Mrs. Wilson had a young Japanese servant who had a habit of trying to oonceal from his mistress any breakage of dishes of whioh he chanoed to be guilty. The good lady explained that it waswioked to deceive, and direoted the Japanese to tell her whenever he broke anything. The boy promised to do as she advised. One day, while Mrs. Wilson was entertaining some friends in the parlor, the Japanese suddenly appeared in the doorway. His teeth were bared in a childlike smile and his eves sparkled with the light of conscious virtue: "Messa Wilson, you ter-ra me, when break something to ter-ra you. I break my pants.?
