reached Anchorage yesterday. The
letter referred to was written at
Mile 305_ under date of October 11.
“This is the only trail to travel.”
the letter says. “A little rough
now, but a good snow storm will
put it in good shape. The road
houses are very close, the farthest
apart so far being 13 miles. And
the A. E. C. camps are about eight
miles apart.”
The Gilchers are on their way to
Los Angeles for the winter, and ex
pect to remain Outside indefinitely.
The Gilmore train, operating on
Wednesday and Saturday, has been
discontinued temporarily and the
train crew will be occupied here
after on those days distributing coal
and other supplies to the section
camps and pumphouses along the
line.

PIONEER COMPANY
TO QUIT BUSINESS
The Northern Commercial com- [ <
pany, oldest and largest outfitting j
concern in Interior Alaska, with j
branches in all Interior towns, will j
retire from business in Alaska with- :
|
in two years, according to an- >
nouncement made this week at San I
Francisco and transmitted to all <
agents in Alaska through the Fair
banks office.
The following night letter, a copy
o which was received by Manager j
James Cody Thursday night, is self- '
explanatory:
“We are instructed to repeat to
all stations following message, dated
13th, signed Louis Sloss, president:
“ ‘Please give publicity in news
papers where issued, or in such oth- ]
er manner as vou deem best, to the i
following, which represents the ac-;
tion taken today at a regular meet-;
ingg of the board of directors of
the Northern Commercial company. ;
The reduction in the ranks of our
i
personnel, stockholders and former |
executives has imposed such a bur-!
den of work and responsibility on
those remaining in the protection
of the varied interests left in their
care that they feel obliged to con
centrate their efforts on the local
[ enterprises in which the estates
j have large investments. This more
than any other cause has dictated
>ur decision to retire from business
n the North as soon as feasible or
is is consistent with the moral ob
igations we have always felt to
ward the people in the districts we
lave served. It is proposed to con
.inue operations for a period long
;nough to afford our friends and
patrons ample opportunity to ar
range for their requirements, or
for any successor or successors to
sstablish for that purpose. The
business of the country both as to
mining and merchandising has un
dergone such a violent change that
the large and expensive organiza
tion hitherto maintained by the
Northern Commercial company
seems no longer justified and a divi
sion into smaller units of interest
and control might well replace it.
It is, of course needless to say
that this decision is arrived at with
the sincerest regret in the sever
ance all too soon of the pleasant
relations of many years with a
large number of old friends, and
particularly in the dismemberment
of an organization of loyal and ef
ficient men toward whom our feel
ing is and always has been not as
employes, but as coworkers. We
will continue to operate until some
time in 1922. Full instructions will
follow by mail.'

The line is quite complete. We have studied

You get this better footwear at the same figure '
