Better roads and trails for Alaska
will be one of the principal objects for
which Senator-elect O. P. Gaustad, of
Fairbanks, will work during the com
ing session of the territorial legisla
ture. His “mush” out from the in
terior metropolis added considerably
to his fund of knowledge about the
needs of the Chitina-Fairbanks road in
particular, his previous experience on
Interior trails having impressed upon
him the need of more work which can
only be done with larger expenditures
of labor and money than in the past.
Another important bit of legislative
work in which he is interested particu
larly is the repeal of the present ter
ritorial mining law, known as the Ro
den law. This, he says, is so compli
cated that no two attorneys in the
territory agree upon the same inter
pretation of its provisions.

immediately upon receipt of authen
tic news thereof, go down to the dock
and jump into the bay. The jump
act is to be performed by the Scan
dinavian if the Germans fail, and if
the loser atempts .to “walch,” the
witnesses to the wager are authorized
to use force in compelling him to take
the plunge.

COST OF BREAD IS
SLIGHTLY INCREASED
The high cost of living for those
who buy their bread lias been ad
vanced a few points on Cordova this
week, by one of the bakers. The
others continue to stand- the loss
caused by the advance in flour from $7
a barrel when the European war start
ed to $9 at the present time; but they,
too, will ask the public to “divide up"
with them if flour advances any fur
ther. Two of the bakeries continue
to sell for 10 cents a loaf, or three
for a quarter; the third advanced the
price to 15 cents a loaf.

In the reports on the volume of the
products of Alaska for the calendar
year 1914. n remarkable condition is
apparent. For the first time in Alas
ka's history the value of the products
of the sea were greater than the val-l
, tie of the product of the mines. For
, years gold has been considered the
I most valuable product of the North
. territory, but for several years the
t output has been showing a decline
until the last year, according to offic
t ial figures, while it slightly Increased
I over 1913, it was still fnr below the
. best reports of previous years. At
t the same time the value of canned
( salmon, halibut and other sea pro
. ducts greatly increased, and the fig
, urea, according to a report made up
1 by Vice-President It. W. Baxter, of
i the Alaska Steamship Co., show:
, Products of the sea, $23,112,000; pro
. duct of mines, $19,248,000, mlscolla
. neous products of the soil, forest, an
. imals, etc., $300,000; total $42,660,000,
which is certainly a great showing,
r The largest single item in the above
i is the value of canned salmon, amount
- ing to $19,612,000, which alone is
, greater than all the products of the
. mines.
