NEWSY LETTER
FROM SEATTLE
ABOUT ALASKA
SEATTLE, March 17.—(Special to
Times). — A novelty In shipments
through this port are reindeer car
casses, and announcement is made
that at least 3,000 carcasses will be
shipped from Alaska to Seattle by
one company next fall as compared
to 1600 in 1920 and a few hundred in
1919. The last of the company’s
1920 shipments have just been sent
to New York City. Two cars con
tained 424 carcasses. The markets
are said to be an established proposi
tion and next year it is expected
there will be large shipments made
from New York for London and Euro
pean centers. The carcasses are
shipped to Seattle in the fall and
kept here in the port commission’s
cold storage warehouse until retailers
call for the meat.
A quarter of a million of dollars
will be expended in Seattle and the
northwest this spring by the Willow
Creek Alaska Company, according to
announcement by the officials of the
company. The money is to be ex
pended for machinery, supplies and
transportaiton for the development of
the company’s property in the Willow
creek district near Anchorage, at the
head of Cook inlet in Alaska.
Two thousand Alaskans attended
the ball of the Yukon Order of Pio
neers at Masonic Temple. At the
door and around the edges of the
hall Nome shook hands with Ketchi
kan, Dawson greeted Anchorage, and
the general good fellowship of the
north prevailed. Prom a standpoint
of socialbility, the affair was typically
Alaskan, even the punch was made of
Alaskan blueberries. This is an an
nual affair given by the local lodge
of resident and visiting Alaskans.
The E. W. Griffin saltery and her
ring packing plant at Seldovia re
ports a pack of 3,500 barrels for
this season. The entire pack has
been shipped to eastern markets.
Trade scouts returning to Seattle
this week from a six weeks’ tour of
investigation among the number of
cities in the central states, the south
and the east, in the interests of the
Pacific northwest salmon industry, re
port a decided change in the attitude
of both jobbers and retailers toward
the commodity, with a consequent im
provement in the market. In each
city visited a newspaper advertis
ing campaign was started to stimu
late consumer demand. At the same
time meetings of jobbers and re
tailers w'ere held for the purpose of
stabilizing salmon prices locally and
to persuade jobbers to increase ma
terially their stocks of canoed sal
mon. In every instance, the scouts
reported, it was a matter of over
coming the extraordinary caution and
suspicion of jobbers who w'ere fear
ful of fluctuating prices.
Within the last few days, much
earlier than tangible results were ex
pected, Seattle salmon brokers have
received an appreciable increase in
salmon orders. One important job
ber wired the Association of Pacific
Fisheries that his trade in salmon
had increased 200 per cent in less
than a week from the time the ad
vertising was started. Two important
meetings of salmon packers and
brokers who are contributors to the
advertising campaign have been held
since the trade scouts returned to
Seattle. They have decided to ex
tend the campaign as rapidly as pos
sible with limited resources. The
outlook for a fair pack in Alahkan
waters during the 1921 season now
appears much better even than it did
one week ago.
