Prosperity for Ketchikan.
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.? Success Magazine.
