ASKS APOLOGY FOR
LANGDON MURDER
NASHVILLE, Jan. 21 (by Associ

Lieut. W. P. Langdon, an American

OPPOSITION TO
RATIFICATION
FISH TREATY
That the American-Canadian fish
eries treaty which grew out of the
American-Canadfan fisheries confer
ence two years ago is inimical to the
interests of Alaska and that its rati
fication by the senate should be pre
vented if possible is the opinion of
H. C. Strong, Ketchikan business man
who has been spending two or three
days in Juneau, left for their home at
Ketchikan last night, says the Em
pire.
“Canada’s interest in this treaty lies
in the fact that it would bar the Unit
ed States for at least seventeen years
from enacting tariff or other legisla
tion governing these fisheries. It
would give her control of the fish
taken from Alaskan banks through
the vessels operating from her ports,
and American markets would remit to,
and pay Canada for this catch. Will
our statesmen be so blind as to per
mit the ratification of such a treaty?
“On account of the geographical po
sition of Canada, lying between Alas
ka and our states, and possessing con
ditions fostered by her government, it
has become absolutely necessary for
our government to enact legislation, if
the Pacific fisheries supported by the
American markets, are to be an
American resource. Let us consider
what the following measure would
mean for Alaska and America as a
whole—either a reasonable tariff
measure affecting fish prepared for
shipment at a foreign port, or a legis
lative act as follows:
“ ‘On or after ninety days after the
passage of this act, no fresh or frozen
fish taken from the North Pacific
ocean or tributary waters shall be
admitted to the United Stages
through any foreign country except
when the same shall be admitted in
bond from an American port.’
"This in effect would automatically
move across the line from British
Columbia to Alaska, the buyers rep
resenting our eastern wholesale fish
houses. Alaskan ports would become
the home and base of supply for the
fishing fleet. American markets
would remit to Alaska payment for
this supply of fish instead of to Brit
ish Columbia as they now do.
“This effective legislation witf do
more to give the coast towns of Alas
ka a permanent population than any
act within the power of our govern
To the Seven Million
Housewives Who Are
Now using Mazola
MAZOLA can be used for ^ore
different purposes and at less
cost than almost any other food.
It contains no water, as do butter and
lard—remains always sweet and palatable,
and does not absorb odors or flavors. So
the same lot of Mazola can be used over
and over again—a wonderful saving in any
household. If you want to use it for short
ening—even after frying fish or onions—
you have 6nly to strain it. It never smokes
up your kitchen.
Mazola makes lighter and better cake
and tastier fried foods than animal fats.
And so light and wholesome they agree
with even the most delicate children.
Thousands of families, leading hotels, clubs and railroad dining cars use
Mazola in preference to olive oil for salads. It costs much less than hall as
much, and is pure, rich and wholesome.

STABILITY OF A PUBLIC SERVANT
A aublic service system of whatever character is never static and
never completed. It constantly grows and It must grow and expand not
only to keep pace with the increasing population, but to meet the increas
ing demand of the public for more and better service. If such a system
does not grow, it must decay. Public utilitlties must expand or they are
no longer efficient public servants.
During the past three years, the Alaska Public Utilities has shown
marked service improvement. It has endeavored at all times to meet the
increasing demand for more and better service, and will continue to do
so. This industry is serving you 24 hours eve?y day. At all times it is
trying to render efficient service or is ready to render that service without
a moment’s notice.
It is this dependability, this readiness for instantaneous service, that
has made for the electric light and power industry its present prominent
place In every-day life.
The stability of our industry has been demonstrated both during
the.war and since. With service rates based upon pre-war conditions and
costs, the company has continued' in its service to the public without in
crease of rates. Its net earnings steadily decreased as its cost of opera
tion mounted, and it gave unstintingly of its service. Here, if never
before, it gave evidence indisputable that its structure was not water
soaked, as has been so frequently charged, else its structure must have
slumped and broken under the stress of conditions.
V, The 9erleral public understands exactly how necessary electric light
power, water and telephone service is to the community. With a little
personal investigation and thought, you can readily realize the growth of
this Industry. Its opportunities are almost immeasurable; its continued
growth not only probable, it is obligatory.
We must now secure money for the improvement and extension of
service to the people who are clamoring for it. The longer service is
withheld, the greater the need. This money must be raised by the
sale of securities, and when raised will be used to expand the business
and give better service for which adequate rates will be collected. These
securities offer an exceptional field for investment in view of the increase
.n the business during the past as well as in the future.
Our plan concerning Customers’ Ownership will appear in this space
at a later date.
a. j. McConnell,

ment, and it can be brought about
without doing injustice to Canada, or
even Gaadian fishermen, for we are
only regulating our own supply and
our ports would be open to free en
try of fish to either Canadian or
American vessels when discharging at
an American port by the vessel catch
ing the same, and the Canadian rail
road system, which has the shortest
and quickest route between Alaska
and our eastern markets would, to get
this great volume of business, co
operate in the establishment of a car
ferry service from its terminus at
Prince Hu pert across to Alaska, per
mitting our products to move in re
frigerator cars direct from Alaska to
our eastern centers of distribution as
freely as shipments now move from
the state of Michigan through south
ern Ontario, via Canadian railroads
into the state of New York.
"The treaty now in the hands of
our department of state, but as yet
unratified by the United States sen
ate, would strike a terrific blow to
the existing and future development
of the fisheries of the north Pacific,
from an American standpoint,” said
Mr. Strong.
Continuing, Mr. Strong said:
“American harbors in Alaska are
the refuge for the vessels operating
on the most extensive fishing banks
in the world which are tributary to
the Alaska coast. The American con
suming public is the logical and only
existing profitable market for the
product, yet the treaty which has
been drafted prohibits our govern
ment from enacting any legislation af
'cting these fisheries or their pro
’"cts for a period of fifteen years
nd then only upon giving Canada
wo years’ notice.
“This in effect gives the Canadian
nort of Prince Rupert every advant
age, it being the closest port to the
Alahka fisheries possessing direct
connections with eastern markets of
the United States, and with the sup
port of the Canadian government,
Alaska fisheries possessing direct
forever lose the opportunity of be
coming the home port, and of obtain
ing the benefits derived from this in
dustry and the operation of the prin
cipal fleet catching the fish.”
