  At 
  Petersburg 
  W. 
  H. 
  Royden, 
  who 
  operates 
  tlie 
  motor 
  scow 
  Elliott, 
  

   prepared 
  60 
  cases 
  of 
  1-pound 
  cans 
  of 
  clams 
  valued 
  at 
  $300. 
  This 
  is 
  

   an 
  industry 
  which 
  merits 
  much 
  expansion 
  in 
  Alaska, 
  as 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  

   the 
  clams 
  is 
  excellent 
  and 
  the 
  supply 
  is 
  good 
  in 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  sections. 
  

   Formerly 
  there 
  was 
  quite 
  a 
  pack 
  of 
  clams 
  and 
  clam 
  juice 
  in 
  Alaska, 
  

   particularly 
  at 
  Klawak, 
  but 
  of 
  recent 
  years 
  little 
  or 
  no 
  attention 
  

   has 
  been 
  paid 
  to 
  this 
  business. 
  Clams, 
  however, 
  have 
  in 
  various 
  

   places 
  formed 
  an 
  important 
  item 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  food 
  supply.
