LOUISVILLE, Ky.—War and
Kentucky whiskey have produced a
number of millionaires. The story
of its accomplishment forms an in
teresting chapter in present day
history.
Eight months ago distillers were
gloomy over the prospect of ruin
as the result of the enforced closing
of their plants for a period of two
years and the aggressive advance
of the prohibition movement. To
day, through whiskey price advance
ment, according i > statements made
in the Louisville wholesale liquor
district, practically all have become
well to do, or have been thrust into
the millionaire class. About twenty
men in Louisville alone are said to
have become wealthy as the result
of an advance of approximately
$2.50 per gallon, in whiskey prices
since September 1, last year.
One man, long identified with the
whiskey business, said that whiskey
owners and dealers who have helc
supplies have made money so fast
that they hardly know what to dc
with it. One of them, he said, has
made arrangements to provide an
nuities for certain of his older em
ployes.
Retailers say the consumer mus'
settle the bill and that over-the-bai
customers are not only paying mor<
in cash in many cities, but are get
ing less for their money.
One Louisville plant had 30,00(
barrels when prices began soaring
If the owners have retained it the;
will realize a profit of about $3,525,
000. Another distiller is reportei
to have 50,000 barrels, which a
present prices would yield him $5,
875,00. Still another, it is said
had 25,000 barrels now worth $2,
937,500. Five others are reportei
to have holdings which would ne
them $2,350,000 each, or a tota
profit of $11,750,000. One deale
is said to have cleared $2,500,00
alone.
Many small dealers who held fror
100 to 200 barrels have cleaned u
from $10,000 to $20,000 each. Th
indicated holdings of the men an
firms aggregate approximately 300
000 barrels of whiskey of forty
seven gallons each, or 14,100,00
gallons, on which, it is currently r(
ported they have realized $35,250
000. Many are holding their stoc
for even higher prices.
The report of the internal revenu
department shows there were i
bond in the United States on Jul
31, 1917, 191,673,000 gallons c
whiskey. Of this total there w£
in Kentucky 108,321,723 gallon
March 1, of this year, there we
in bond in the United States 178
404.000 gallons, and in Kentuck
at that time there were 98,492,00i
thus showing a withdrawal in tt
country during that period of la
289.000 gallons, and a decrease i
Kentucky of 10,829,723 gallons.
When the law closing distillerii
became effective it was estimate
there was a supply which woul
last for two years or more, but tl
withdrawal rate which began th
spring, it is estimated it will n<
last more than a year. Durir
March there was taken from bor
more than 10,000,000 gallons.
Last September the price i
whiskey in bond ranged from 50
60 cents a gallon. Later in the fa
it rose to $1. At this record pri(
one distiller sold approximately 7
000 barrels. Now the price stanc
at $3.05 per gallon.

ANCHORAGE PLANS
L
ANCHORAGE.-—Eor the agricul
tural and industrial fair to be held j
in Anchorage this fall, exhibits will!
be solicited from all parts of Alaska. '
It is the intention of the incor-!
porated association, having the en- >
terprise in charge, to obtain exhibits j
of agriculture, dairying, livestock,
mining, fishing, manufacturing and
other resources and industries of
the Northland, so the fair may be
representative of the entire terri- j
! tory. Letters embodying the re- j
quests for exhibits soon will be mail- •
ed to all commercial clubs in Alaska.
At a recent meeting of the di- i
rectors of the fair association, I
Charles E. Herron, an Anchorage '
newspaper publisher, was elected
president and E. T. Lindner, acting ;
head of the Land and Industrial De
partment of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission, was chosen secre
tary. The directors, in the near
future will determine the dates for
the fair.
The first fair in the history of
Anchorage was held last September.
Its exhibts consisted almost entirely
of vegetables, minerals and furs
from the immediate neighborhood of
Anchorage. The fair proved emin
ently successful, and its success
prompted Anchorage business men
and other residents to incorporate
a non-profitable association for the
purpose of holding expositions an
nually.
The association has obtained from
the Land and Industrial department
an option on a site for fair grounds,
■ of about fifty acres, in the south
1 addition to the town of Anchorage.
