A BAD AND A GOOD EXAMPLE
No business organization has a
right to invoke the law of supply
and demand as a justification for
high prices in times of stress and
then interfere with the law of sup
ply and demand by cutting off the
supply in times of plenty to prevent
price reduction.
The American Woolen company,
points out the Mining Congress
Journal, has based selling prices on
replacement costs for four years.
Now, when replacement costs for
wool are lower than they have been
for years, the woolen mills are
closed down, thus shutting off sup
ply to keep demand in line with
exorbitant prices.
A marked contrast with this poli
cy is shown by the United States
Steel corporation, which has held
its prices at the levels established
by the war boards—much below the
present market prices — and has
thereby an immense volume of fu
ture orders on its boohs. The rela
tive wisdom of these two courses of
action is apparent. Good-will is a
tremendous asset.
Some people say that Valdez is a
slow old town, but this is not true,
declares the editor of the Valdez
Miner. While many other towns
have been complaining that no fish
came to their traps this season, an
enterprising Valdez operator invent
ed a trap and sent it out to sea
after the fish and got them. That’s
not the “Seattle Spirit,” but what
we call here the “Valdez Vim.” The
meaning of it is to overcome all
obstacles and stand like a stone wall
against all adversity.
Now that it has been conclusively
demonstrated that the Tanana valley
can produce the flour for the flap
jacks, and the Matanuska valley can
produce the sweet syrup from her
sug'ar beets to sop them in, there is
every reason to believe that the emi
gration of the old sourdough from
Alaska will case. Give the old pros
pector all the flapjacks and syrup
he wants and he is not inclined to
give up the chase for gold.—Valdez
Miner.
NOTICE TO MASONS.
There will be a meeting of the
Nenana Masonic club at the resi
dence of Fred’k D. Browne on Wed

FISHING BOATS IDLE
BECAUSE OF STRIKES
A. L. Hagar, managing director of
the New England Fish company at
Petersburg, has announced that sev
en steamers of the company’s fleet
now tied up at Vancouver will re
main idle indefinitely because the
company has grown tired of trying
to operate the vessels subject to the
possibility — and the actuality — of
beinj tied up by labor unions with
out any dispute between the com
pany and the unions. In the mean
time the firm :s securing all the fish
it needs. Independent fishermen are
sending in their fish, and it is not
expected that the amount of fish
handled this year will be lower than !
that secured last year.

POPULAR BILL HART
WILL VISIT ALASKA
Bill Hart, hero of movie fans,
will arrive in Juneau in the near
future, according to word received
recently on the coast. It has been
known for some time that Thomas
Ince, famous moving picture pro
ducer, was to bring a company of
his players to Alaska and spend sev
eral months making pictures. Dor
othy Dalton, of the Ince players
and well known for her ability in
dramaitic acting, probably will be
one of the members of the com
pany.
FISH PIRATES ACTIVE
ALONG ALASKA COAST
Never before in the history of
fishing in Alaska have fish pirates
been as active as they are at pres
ent, according to Southeastern Alas
ka cannerymen. Not less than half
a dozen boats are engaged in lifting
traps and robbing them of their
catches in the vicinity of the Thlin
get Packing company’s cannery at
Funter bay and neighboring can
neries, said J. T. Barron, president
of that company, who was in Ju
neau recently. Superintendent C. J.
Alexander of the Hoonah Packing
company reports a similar condition.
The cannerymen have several pa
trol boats employed, all manned
by men having high-powered rifles,
and they are doing their best to
protect their property. Notwith
standing this, however, it is said
A
that traps are being robbed almost
daily at some places in the waters
of the northern division of South
eastern Alaskan waters. Mr. Bar
| ron discussed the situation recently
with the Federal officials with the
purpose in view of figuring out
some way to suppress the outlawry.

SAILOR GOES ADRIFT;
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Adrift in a Bering sea in a dory
for five days, without food or water,
with a choppy sea and a heavy wind
howling, many miles from shore and
with little hope of being picked up,
was the trying experience endured
by Dan Dennison, a cod fisherman,
who arrived in Ketchikan recently
on his way south. The terrible ex
perience left no bad effects, appar
ently.
As a member of the crew of the
Maid of Orleans, Denison went
north some weeks ago. He left the
boat in his dory, intending to be
back within a short time. A heavy
fog fell, which shut him off from
the Maid of Orleans, and then a
wind set him far adrift. Had it not
been for a heavy rain, he would have
been entirely without water, but he
succeeded in securing sufficient wa
ter in this manner to quench his
thirst somewhat.
After five days he was picked up
by a gasboat and taken to Port
Moller, where he remained until he
was again picked up by the steam
ship Catherine D. He is returning
to Seattle, the home port of the
Maid of Orleans.

depict a drama in connection with
Alaska scenery. He will lecture with
the film before schools- and various
institutions in the East when the
production is completed this year.
“A motion picture of all Alaska,
with a drama to heighten interest,
has been the ambition of my life,'*
declared Lewis to a representative
of the Cordova Times, “for it is
to be exhibited in schools, churches
and colleges. Our first scenes will
be made at Lake Atlin and White
horse rapids, after which we will
proceed to the coast, and thence as
far as Nenana, in the Interior. Fif
teen Alaska towns will be visited,
and Mt. McKinley is one of the
scenic attractions of the Territory
to be filmed.”
