past two or three years.
We will soli for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re
quirements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,

A Nome merchant received a wire
from the outside yesterday stating
that it was impossible to think ot
buying anything just now until
spring owing to the inflated condi
tion of all food products. Next
May when the early southern stocks
begin to move these will be cer
tainly reduced, but for the present
the prices ar*1 outrageous.
Natives report that seals are now
getting very plentiful. Dr. Neuman
says that an interesting fact in con
nection with the seal that are now
being captured is that many of them
are a small hair seal whose favorite
and general habitat is in the Arctic
and has never before been observed
further south than Cape Prince of
Wales. Whalers and other Arctic
explorers report such seal as being
found plentifully enough in the
farthest north. Never before have
they been captured in any such
quantity south of Rering Straits.

GET TOE NEWS RIGHT. READ
THE WORKER.
ATTENTION ODD FELLOWS
All Oddfellows are requested to
attend the meeting February 23rd.
Work In Initiatory degree.
F. S. POLET, Secretary.
A. A. Allan told the Worker’s
Unalakleet correspondent in an in
terview sent in, that he made no
promises “but now that the people
have honored me by electing me as
one of their ropresentaives it is but
right that 1 let them know how ]
intend to serve them.”
“First as the future of Alaska de
pends primarily upon the intellec
tual and physical abilities of her ci
tizens and as the native born white
Alaskan will soon be taking an ac
tive part in her development, good
schools properly equipped from
a secular and industrial
standpoint should be our
first consideration. Alaska go
ing dry makes the question of funds
a serious one, and in my opinion the
school funds should come first and
in full from the territorial funds.
Families will not make their
home in Alaska unless the educa
tional facilities are equal to the
Outside. It would be necessary for
the high grade schools to centralize
in Nome, Fairbanks, etc., and those
educated outside the centers couid
if they needed a better education
go to these centers of educational
activity.
The development of Alaska is na
turally on account of climatic con
ditions slow and will depend in the
future as now upon the transporta
tion facilities. At present we arc
depending altogether upon our
wafer ways for the bulk of our ne
cessities, but our waterways are not
onoi ._:b and while waiting for rail
roads to connect our centers, I
strongly recommend a system of
roadways, not goat paths, directly
connecting centers and with smaller
roadways acting as feeders and con
necting smaller communities. A
system such as I advocate would
give the prospector a chance to de
velop present prospects and open up
new fields lor the miner, and would
through the increased area devel
oped and opened up repay a hund
redfold the money expended. The
road commission is doing all it can
with the pittance the government
accords it and my advocacy of bet
ter roads is not to be construed as
a criticism of the Hoad Commis
sion.
I also advocate a system ot sta
tions under the road commission
where there are no roadhouses,
these stations to be given to pioneers
at a nominal salary and under ap
proved terms, the present road
houses in out of the way places to
also come under such an act.
Believing that the future of any
country depends upon a well paid
and contented laboring class, en
joying the immunities and privi
leges that are the basis of our con
stitution and recognizing the fact
that a laboring class working longer
than normal hours is mentally and
physically inert and unable to de
velop through study its higher attri
butes, I strongly advocate shorter
hours and the best of living and
working conditions. I also believe
that labor and business should be in
accord for the best interests of the
community.
