MR REPORTS
CONDITIONS VERY
TIGHT 1 COAST
Prices in the States have not
umped to such an extent as Alas
ana have been led to believe, ac
ording to wgrd received from E. L.
avis, better known to Interiorites
s “Scow” Davis. In a letter ad
ressed to Fowler & Morris, the old
ime trader says, under date of
eattle, November 22, that the
eople of that city have not noticed
nd material reduction as yet. “How
id it come to be circulated in Ne
ana that prices had dropped around
ere?" he asks and, continuing, he
rrites: “Sugar, of course, dropped,
ust what it was a year ago this
ime. Flour has dropped in Minne
polis—very little here—not one
ent on the loaf yet, and the in
rease in freight rates more than
'ffsets the reduction.
“Eggs were quoted at 81 cents
wholesale today. Was down on West
rn avenue this morning. Not a
ase left early in the afternoon.,
2ggs retail at from 86 cents tc
>0 cents a dozen and are ver>
carce.
Vegetables, including spuds and
mions, very cheap. Spuds jumped
his week from $7.50 to $10 per tor
m Western avenue. Best Yakima
ire quoted at $50. The farmers
ire trying hard to boost prices or
ipuds. They are holding in liki
he wheat growers but wheat is
veakening in spite of them, and s<
s hay and also oats.
“ Beef has dropped some bu
restaurant charges are as high a:
»ver—higher, in some cases, that
ast winter.
“No material change in retai
prices on clothing so far. Thet
:laim it will be six months or i
pear before much change comes
4rmy goods are selling the sami
is a year ago and, in many cases
higher than the street prices. A1
most every pair of shoes in towi
has the word ‘Army Shoes’ sten
filed on them.
“Thousands of idle men in thi
\
state at present. Net a day’s work
to be got anywhere. The boards are
clean of jobs. >fo bread line in this
city yet, for they had a good sum
mer. Alaskans also have money yet
but it will be bad here before the
spring. Good many men i|p around
the Labor temple every day who
claim they are hungry. No shipyard
work here now. Everything closed.
All railway work suspended and
logging and shingle mills closing 5
down daily.
Vancouver, Wn. and Portland are |
worse than Seattle. Hundred storm
ing the gates daily. (No gates here
to storm). Vancouver, B. C. is still
worse, with both union labor and
the city authorities requesting people
to keep away. Thousands idle there.
“Plenty of hotel room in this
town now. Thousands have moved
away since the yards closed.
Dutch Blankfield was seen hob
nobbing with big Howard Curtis on
the Bowery in New York two weeks
ago. Will be back soon.”
RAFFLE WILL BE ARRANGED
FOR BENEFIT OF OLDTIMER
i Arrangements are being made at
; the end of steel to raffle a frame
l house for the benefit of an old
timer there who recently had the
misfortune to lose his sight. Tickets
for the raffle are now being pre
pared and will be offered to the
j public during the coming week.
! The case is a particularly deserv
J ing one and doubtless will receive
I the hearty support of Interior
| Alaskans, who never yet have failed
j to come to the assistance of one in
! need.
The man for whom the raffle is |
being arranged is Mike Romes and j
the house is the one in which the j
unfortunate man and his wife and j
. babies now reside. The house is a
I substantial building and well worth
i winning.

GEORCE RICH
:ache creek district
IS QUIET THIS WINTER
Alex Stewart, oldtimer of the
Fairbanks and Ruby districts, ar
rived from the coast this week on -a
several-day visit, it being: his in
tention to start back over the "hi!l”J
ibout Monday. Mr. Stewart has
been in the Cache creek district
for some time past, but came to
Venana direct from Anchorage,'
where he spent four days. It is j
rather quiet in the Cache creek dis- 1
trict this winter, he says, but con- j
;iderable activity is expected next j
summer. The work going on this!
winter consists chiefly of the move- j
ment of supplies to the diggings;
and some preliminary work on the |
road which the Alaska Road com- ;
mission has undertaken to build. :
Mr. Stewart says that he heard
while at Anchorage that a number j
of railroad workers had been laid j
off lately in the Anchorage division,1
the curtailment being attributed to!
a shortage of commission funds. !
He did not hear anything of any j
labor trouble, except that among
the Matanuska coal miners, which j
was settled some time ago.
Toby Thurston, sourdough barber, j
returned from the coast this week i
and went to Fairbanks yesterday.'
