Whittier, Secretary of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce, who returned here re- cently from a trip as far south as Prince Rupert, reviewed briefly con- |ditions in those communities. Both Ketchikan and Prince Rupert are adversely affected by low prices for fish. Both are freezing large quantities of halibut and other fish and hope for improved market conditions this Winter. Wrangell seemed to be in as good condition as any community in the Territory. Two small canneries and two shrimp plants are employing some 200 or more local workers. The new public school building there and a new church are not- eble additions to the community. Sheoemaker Bay Plant He praised the Wrangell Institute the new industrial training school of the Indian Service just com- pleted at Shoemaker Bay near Wrangell. He termed it a “lot of (institution for the money expend- jed.” | Petersburg residents have made many improvements to residential property, repairing and painting their houses, and beautifying grounds. The Petersburg hospital has been completely renovated and its grounds improved. The United States Marshal’s office has lent a hand by having prisoners cut brush and widen a number of the streets. Weather conditions encountered were abnormal, and about like those prevailing here at the same time. In Wrangell, it was more like Octo- ber than July. ——-———— When preparing fresh peaches or tomatoes for table use, the skins can be easily removed by firmly pressing the back of a knife against N — ' ' : i R Fairbanks.
