"America For Americans
SOME VERY EVIDENT REASONS
FOR THE HIGH COST OF LlV
ING—THE SCARCITY OF
LABOR IS A CHIEF
OXE
There are some rather obvious
explanations. One is that cost of
labor—in agriculture as in manufac
ture—had gone much higher, long
before we ourselves entered the war
•L-ast autumn a 10-percent increase
of wages occurred in perhaps the
majority of trades, on top of an
even larger rise in the preceding
twelve months, and in many indus
tries 'he rate has risen further this
present year. Our production of
war munitions on the one hand —
an entirely new indurtry in this
country on the scale pursuer—had
of itself created demands on labor
similar to those existing abroad.
Although We were nqj, until the
pas* few months, losing able-bod
ied workmen to the American army
service, we were losing them by
the thousands to the European ar
mies, whose call on their reservists
all over the world brought home
so many of our foreign-born labor
e-s that, in 1915 alone, arrivals of
European aliens in this country,
immigrant and non-immigrant, were
exactly 16,900 short of denartures,
whereas in 1913 the excels of ar
rivals was 843,000.
But the labor cost i3 a prime fact
or in prices. A further influence,
in the case of commodities whose
production requires foreign ma
terials, came in the higher price
fixed on such materials by the>
blockade of some countries and the
expense of war-time transportation
from all. imported articles like
coffee felt this influence to the
full. With corn, oats, and other
food products, the excessive ad
vance during the season past was
immediately occasioned by the fact
that the high whoat prices had turns
ed even home consumers more largt
ly to other low-priced cereals,
while »t the same time the scarcity
of wheat in Europe, producing there
a similar result, had trebled this
country's annual export of the small*
er grains as compared with a norm
al year.—Ex. • ' 1 !J I

Superintendent R. 0. Wayland
and 1* H. Metxgar, of th« Tread
well company, stated last week
that work would soon begin on a
trestle to cross the cave-in, or big
hole, immediately south of the
Treadwell club house. The con
struction of this trestle is con
sidered a necessity from the point
Of economy and convenience. At
the present time employes asd
school children are forced to climb
the thill to go to and from their
work and school.
Twenty-six alleged slackers were
arraigned in court in Anchorage re
cently, twenty-on© of whom were
bound over to await the action of
the federal grand jury. Four were
held for further investigation, and
one was discharged. Bail for
those held for trial was $2600.
Nearly all the prisoners arraigned
were Russians and many of them
claim they are over the draft age.
Mountain sheep are plentiful
among the crags and peaks of Kenai
peninsula, but the animals are bad
ly scattered, as if they had been
chased by wolves, according to a;
hunter who recently returned from
that region. Scarcely any of the
sheep were running in flocks.
The big hotel at St. Michaels,
owned by the American Yukon
Transportation company, wa* re
cently destroyed by fire, the loss
being $35,000. Ov«r 150 me®
were asleep at the time of the con
flagration and had narrow escapes.
Miss Sutherland, of Seward Pen
iusula, where for many years she
was secretary to Dr. Caleb White
head, is now driving an ambulance
on the French front.
The Alaska Engineering Co .mis
sion has issued an orde- v wo
men working for th^' .ssion
and having husbands em
ploy of the commUsic luuvi be
dropped from the pay roll.
Diphtheria brok© out among the
children in Anchorage recently but
at a recent date authorities had it
under control with onJy one active
:as$ and with, two children who
had been exposed under quarantine.
Persons in the naval or military
service of the United States owning
taming claims are exempted f.-omi
doing assessment work until six
months aftar the close of the war.
What is believed to be the first
alleged violation in Alaska of the
presidential proclamation, forbid
ding the selling or giving away
of intoxicating liquor within five
miles of a naral or military reser
vation in unincorporated territory
or within half a mile of such
reservations in incorporated cities,
is charged against Zeke Perivich, of
Anchorage. The case preeents th&(
issue of merely giving away liquor,
and emphasizes the fact that tiola^
tions of the presidential proclama
tion are regarded more seriously
than old offense of selling liquor in
a. prohibition community.
Persons accused of violating the
presidential proclamation, if evi
dence is produced tending to es
tablish their guilt, are bound over
.to the United States district court,
instead of having heir cases final
ly disposed Of by the United States
commissioner. Perivich is accused
of merely giving away, not selling,
liquor in Anchorage, and within
five miles of a military reservation.
The complaint against him was filed
before Commissioner Leopold David.
The accused man hag not entered a
olea, and is at liberty on bail.
Mark Burns was instantly killed
and Andrew Zacherson was so bad
ly injured that be did not survive
as the result of a cave-in on the
working of the Foster and Hunger*
ford mine on Cleary creek, in the
Fairbanks district. Mark Bums'
was a younger brother of William
T. Burns, the member of the Al
aska territorial legislation.
MY WORD! WHAT A NOISE!
London,—Her© is the Londoner's
conception of America as set forth
in one of tne newspapers. It Is
submitted -without comment.
"Everybody who has even been to
America knows that delectable
land to be the noisiest, most up
roarious and clamorous spot in the
whole universe. It is a country
of hustle and bustle and confusion,
a land of sickening thuds, of bang
ing street cars and ear-splitting
overhead railways, of clanging bells
and brokers shrieking thru their
noses. If the lynch-pln dropped out
of the mosmic system and the stars
came tumbling about Us they
wouldn't hear it in New York."

OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly Skagway Residents
Suffer From Some Form of
Klduey Trouble.
When past middle age, there
frequently comes a noticeable weak
ening of the organs of the body,
and resulting danger of quick de
cline. It is quit© necessary to
gtve prompt help to any part that
first shows signs of wear. Healthy
kidneys are necessary to a hale old
age. Weak kidneys often bring
constant backache, lame back,
stitches and twinges of pain, an
noying urinary troubles, and the
danger of dropsy or Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills are gratefully
recommended by very many aged
people. Convincing proof of merit
in the following testimony:
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W
Fifty-ninth St., Seattle, Wash.,
Bays: "A cold weakened my kid
neys and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt ag though
• he muscles were all drawn up
and stlfr. My kidneys didn't act
right at all and the secretions were
highly colored. I had to get up
often at night. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me a complete and last
ing cure. I am now free from kid
ney trouble in spite of my age,
which is past sixty years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr, Johnsen had. Foster-Mil
