NEW HOME FOR A. S.S. CO. |
Seward can well boast of having the fin
est steamship office in Alaska, or an office
that far surpasses any other of any kind in
the Territory. Nothing can even remotely (
compare to the new offices of the Alaska
Steamship Company in the Arcade Build
ing. The former quarters were exception- j i
ally good but, unfortunately, small. The
new quarters are commodious, offering the |
maximum of comfort, ample chairs and set- <
tees, fine ventilation and excellent lighting
facilities. On the walls hang a number of (
large framed pictures of vessels owned by {
the company. J. H. Flickinger, Seward ag
ent for the A. S.S. Co., cordially extends an
invitation to the public to call in and inspect 4
the new home at any time.
OFFICIAL BEEF GRADES
The Department of Agriculture has re
cently promulgated regulations governing
the grading of beef. There are five grades
or classes, designated as steer beef, heifer
bef, cow beef, bull beef and stag beef. Ten
tative grades were established in 1923, but
last year after several public hearings to
sound the sentiment of cattle men, packers,
and wholesale and retail dealers, that sen
timent was found to be very largely in favor
of the standardized grades as presented.
The system of standardized grading has
been in use by the bureau of agricultural
economics for several years, and under it
millions of pounds have been purchased by
the United States lines, many independent
steamship lines and thepurchasing depart
ments of many institutions, public and pri
vate.
Now comes the news that the dining car
department of the Pennsylvani railroad has
decided to buy only such beef as is graded
“blue ribbon’" by the Department of Agricul
ture. Vice President Sanders, who has di
rect charge of that division of the railroad’s
activities, predicts that all the other Class
A roads will be compelled to follow the lead
of the Pennsylvania. All of this is very grat
ifying to the producers of high grade beef
cattle, and it will certainly have thegeneral
effect of creating a better market for grad
ed meats than has heretofore existed.
If the private consumer will follow the
lead of the railroads and insist upon “being
shown” the government grade marks be
fore ordering a roast or a steak from his
butcher the new grade regulations will ben
efit the home consumer as well as the patron
of the dining car.

When we told the devil to take a month
off this morning he started out the door
smiling, but upon learning it was the month
of June on the calendar, he finds himself in
ink up to hi sneck again.
It isn’t true that all stories are as old as
the race. The race had existed for a long
time before there were two Irishmen.
Many of the young men who are going to
be manned this spring know about it I
already.
