Provide Employment Under this plan, Taggart believes that Alaska could be developed more in three years than it would under present methods in a century. It would give employment to thou- sands and encourage colonization, bringing great returns, Taggart be- lieves. “Upon the airplane, the only means of gaining access to Alaska’s interior, would depend the success of the scheme. The establishment of a development army division station at Nome, for instance, could land a prospecting squad upon the upper waters of the Noatak in four hours, with sufficient supplies and men fo crosscut a large section,” Taggart poifited out.

From June 27 until July 15 the cannery op- erated on gill net sockeyes bought from local fishermen. The gill net catch was to be augmented after July 15 by seine and trap fish. The cannery will fish four traps in Clarence Straits, {three of which are Ilocated at Steamer Point on Etolin Island and one on the Prince of Wales Island shore.
