ALASKANS ARE
LUCKY PEOPLE

know how well they are off. They
haYe only to mak^ a trip outside
and study conditions, then they will

In Alaska a long ime and Well up
on living ooinditions an# cost of
thing In thi northland. When ho
arrived in Seattle h enoticed a vast
differenc In the prices 011 the out
side and those of the interior.
Nearly everything' Is much higher |
there than here. He stated that.
the merchants predicted a slight:
dron in th0 prioe® of several arti
cles, but not enough to make much 1
difference to the public. In com
paring living conditions he stated ■

the society leaders are not making I
any attempts to set the fashion any
more, being content to wear moder
