LOW PRICES AT JUNEAU
SURPRISE TO VISITOR
A recent arrival at Juneau, a
sales manager for a Seattle con
cern. declared, in a statement pub
lished in the Daily Empire, that he
had found prices much lower in the
North than he had anticipated. “I
am simply astonished at the cost of
living here,’" he is quoted as say
ing. He enumerated hotel rates.
clothing:, and about everything one
needed, as being much lower in
price than in the States.
“I cannot imagine why a family
should seek to better their condi
tion.” the Seattle man concluded,
“by going Outside in the hope of
getting better wages, because the
extra cost of living will more than
make up the difference.”

LOCAL USE OF
SMALL CHANCE
TO BE ARGUED
- |
The introduction in Nenana of j
coins of five and ten cent denomina-;
tions was suggested at the regular j
meeting of the Commercial club I
last night, as a possible means of,
reconciling conditions for which the ;
war is very largely responsible. It
was pointed out that the use of the
smaller coins would prove of mutual '
benefit to the buying public and to
merchants, by stimulating sales and
making possible the purchase of
many articles for which the charge,
under existing monetary conditions,
must be 25 cents.
It was freely admitted by those
present at the meeting that Cen
tral Alaska towns cannot hope to
exclude the small coins for a much
longer period. They are already in
general use along the coast of
Alaska and their use here is be
coming more general each year.
But the question is one involving
so many points that the chib hesi
tated to give the suggestion more
than casual consideration. Those
present believed it to be a problem
for the businessmen of the town
and the public generally to settle,
after mature deliberation, and upon
motion, it was decided to give ev- j
eryone interested an opportunity to
participate in the discussion, which
will be resumed at the meeting of i
the club to be held two weeks j
hence.
It is the desire of the club to
have all angles of the question dis
cussed at the next meeting, and if
it can be shown that the introduc
tion of small coins will help the
community, steps will then be taken
by the club to bring about the
change.
