THE

is

of

and

It

love
and
peace
and
a
touch
of
that
kindness
of
spirit
which
makes
life
worth

There

if

The

what

What
do

for
that

Tolerence,

These
are
the
things
which
must

KETCHIKAN
WONDERS
PRINCE
RUPERT'S
obtaining-
of
a
$15,000,000
pulp
mill
project
has
caused
Ketchikan,
which
for
some
time
has
been
anticipating
the
establishment
of
such
an
industry
there
or
in
the
immediate
vicipity,
to
sit
up
and
take
notice,
wondering
why,
if
it
can
be
done
here,
it.
is.
not
being
done
there.
The
"First
City"
newspapers
have
been
speculating
as
to
why
an
American
firm
should,
as
it
has
done,
decide
to
locate
in
Canada
instead
of
Alaska.
The
Ketchikan
Daily
Alaska
Fishing
News
asks
what
is
the
reason
for
American
capital
by-passing
Alaska
and
locating
within
almost
a
stone's
throw
joi
the
international
boundary
line.
This
is
easily
enough
answered,
of
course,
with
the
pointing
out
that
an
ideal
site
for
both
rail
and
waterborne
ship-mnt
has
been
found
and
that
it
is
in
the
midst
of
a
great
and
perpetual
timber
supply
which
has
been
made
available
through
the
good
offices
of
a
progressive
government
policy,
that
there
is
plenty
of
water
and
power
readily
available
for
developmnt.
In
short,
Prince
Rupert
possesses
all
the
prerequisites
to
the
establishment
of
the
industry.
-
-i
The
Fishing
News
seems
to
be
further
worried
about
the
development
pf
Prince
Rupert
having
a
possible
deterrent
effect
upon
Ketchikan
whn
it
says:
"Prince
Rupert
is
getting
a
million
dollar
processing
t
plant
for
livers.
It
is
going
after
Alaska
salmon
to
be
.
warehoused
there.
We
don't
object
to
it
getting
all
the
'
trade
and
industry
possible,
but
if
it
continues
to
draw
off
the
trade
from
Southeastern
Alaska,
Ketchikan
will
become
a
mere
whistling
station
In
comparison.
We
have
plenty
of
warehouse
space
here.
Salmon
could
be
labeled
and
Inspected
here.
We
have
plenty
of
facilities
for
processing
all
kinds
of
fish.
But
It
will
take
more
than
talk
to
get
things
under
way.
Perhaps
one
of
the
first
necessary
things
Is
to
get

hook-up

men.
By
his
own
admission,
he
is
a
fish
of
parts
and
possessed
of
well
developed
critical
facilities
which,
he
says
he
would
be
happy
to
use
to
flout
the
foib
les,
puncture
the
peccadillos
and
illuminate
the
false
illusions
of
anyone
or
anything
that
may
come
into
his
ken.
Being
a
hallbut-and
proud
of
his
ancestry,
Herman
gave
assurance
that,
on
no
occasion,
would
he
stoop
to
low
"carping,"
but
that,
if
anyone,
cared
to
listen,
he
already
had
a
couple
of
matters
that
could
stand
a
Ht.
nf
nhllosophic
criticism.
For
Instance,
this
matter
of
the
wooden
salmon
...
However,
Herman
was
persuaded
to
forego
this
momen-j
tarlly;'and
was
persuaded
to
give
an
outline
of
his
life
and
back-:

project
which
he
en

into
with

as
non-existent.

'You-are

Rupert
before

"Herman,
,who
weighed
157
pounds
when
he
finned
his
way
into
port
on
yesterday's
high
tide,
was
born,
he
said,
in
Hecate
Strait
at
a
position
whose
latitude
and
longitude
have
es
caped
him.
"It

it
Is
oniy
wnile
you
are
on'
the
surface
and
want
to
stay
there
that
such
things
are
important.'!
His
early
life
was
hard.
Most
of
it
was
spent
pondering
on
which
of
the
herring
which
con-stituted
his
staple
diet
contained
the
proper
amount
of
mineral.
By
mineral,
he
meant
Iron
and
he.
-was
continually
afraid
of
getting
too
much
of
it.
Scores
of
the
friends
of
his
early
youth
got
too
much
Iron
and
were
hauled
to
the
surface
by
the.
hemp
lines
that
were
attached
to
it.
Believe
me,"
he
recalled
proudly,
"we
had
it
tough.
These
modern
young
halibut
don't
know
what
hardship
is.
Why
in
those
days
the
halibut
boats
used
to
fish
the
whole
year
'round
and
we
never
knew
when
we
would
get
a
hook
stuck
into
our
Jowls.
Modern
fishery
regulations
which
permit
the
boats
to
fish
for
only
two
or
three
months
a
year
have
made
life
very
easy
for
the
halibut
on
th
banks."
Herman
himself
left
the
banks
in
his
seventeenth
season
when
he
felt
his
Intellectual
faculties
begin
to
stir.
He
realized
that
he
was
no
ordinary
poor
fjsh
ahd
cast
an
eye
toward
advancement
He
made
Prince
Rupert
harbor
his
home,
and,
from
the
green
depths
of
its
waters,
he
watched
the
parade
of
human
life.
"I
have
remained
completely
aloof
from
Its
stupidities
and
vices,"
he
said
In
an
unnecessary
tone
of
virtue
"When
I
first
made
Prince
Rur
pert
harbor
my
home,
this
was
properly
and
completely
a

Being
a
halibut,
I
felt
that
I
was

and
I
was
happy.

Xocussed
on
me
and

It

Perhaps
the
good
life
which
Herman
led
In
Uiose
days
softened
his
fiery
spirit.
From
his
description
of
the
life,
he
op-vlously
was
pampered.

Herman
