The suggestion of the new in
dustries committee of the cham
ber of commerce that an effort
he made ;o secure a lowering of
the existing freight rates to the
outside for the purpose of encour
aging and assisting In the devel
opment of growing industries, is
unquestionably one of the best
that has so far emanated front the
chamber and should receive the
sunport, of every shipper on the
panies have already made certain
concessions along this line in the
case of mineral ore shipments.
We understand the rebate grant
ed is not much but it is obvious
that it is a great assitance to the
local producers in their efforts to
develop their properties, through
enabling them to secure a better
profit in the outside markets.
Notably in the case of anti
mony shipments from the Fair
banks section the lowering of
freight rates has given a wonder
ful impetus to the industry. The
same encouragement should also
be extended to all other indus
ries which give promise of ulti- <
nately developing into something
vorth while. As Mr. Lomen
uggested in the course of his dis
•ussion the shipping companies
hould reduce their rates on the
products of growing industries
:o the degree that local shippers
.vili be enabled, to secure a profit
;vt least comparable with -those of
shippers from more favored
points. In addition to ©re9, the
rates should be reduced on every
other commodity shipped from
this section of the territory. Fish
and fish products should be in
cluded, thereby permitting the
,-arlv development of what is un
questionably one of the most im
portant of the future industries of
this section and also on ship
ments of reindeer meat- At the
. resent time the profitable pack
ng of salt fish is almost out of
the question owing to the prohi
bitive freight rates.
Those engaged in the salting and
packing of salmon and herring
for the outside markets are mak
ing a profit largely because of the
fact that the product from this
section commands a substantially
higher price, owing to superior
quality. Eliminate this factor
and the industry could not exist
under present day conditions,
solely because of the excessive
freight costs- The fish packed
of this section is under the
necessity of paying freight
charges" almost double those
of any other industry, first
on the large quantities of salt
•niployeo in the packing process
and, second, on the prepared pro
duct in transporting it to market.
Every indication points to the
fish packing industry as one of
ihe greatest possibilities of this
section oi Alaska. One need not
be either prophet or seer to real
ize that Nome will one day be
famed for its fish products more
than its mineral production or to
glimpse in the future the day
when the fisheries of Bering sea
will be among the chief sources
of wealth production of the dis
trict. It is an industry of mag
nificent prospects but it cannot
hope to gain a foothold or ap
proximate the ultimate of the in
herent possibilities without a de
cided lessening of the excessive
costs entailed tn preparing and
thing over one half of which goes
directly to the transportation
companies
The reindeer industry also can
not hope to reach a profitable
stage of commercial development
until a reduction of transporta
tion charges enables the shippers
of reindeer meat to place their
product on the market at a price
comparable with beef and lesser
priced meat foods. With a favor
able reduction of the freight
charges on the products of these
great potential industries, they
will speedily become profitable,
^u^^o^before^^h^^uggesrion
>f,the committee is in every way
i ‘wise one and should be taken
at once, not only by thecham
Lm 1 commerce, but also by
L-ye’ y merchant and business man
who i;- desirous of promoting the
w'diare of the district. No greater
go£d can be accomplished than
byk urging upon the transporta
tion companies the necessity of
helping in the development of
these struggling industries by re
ducing the transportation charges
to a degree that will permit of
profitable exploitation. Every
business man and every citizen
should address himself to the task
of impressing upon the steamship
companies the great desirability
of promoting in this manner the
early development of three dis
tinct industries in the profits of
which all will ultimately share.

There’ s one rubber I
boot that has
“made good” in
Alaska and that's the
i
Goodrich
“HJPRESS”
Whit© Boot
• * . . • V ’
"With the Red-line
-4 'round the Top”
You know that when a Boot
comes in and simply sweeps the country
J like "HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING* UN USUAL-for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “HI PRESS" Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel l
You don’t hare to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather sole*.
The reason for this unusual sendee is that “JHJPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
are made of the aame tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
There’s nothing to come apart —they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HJPRESS” you’ll never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE "HIPRESS'* Boot—it has
! ''«•«, a Red-Line 'round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRES9” write at once fee —"-pi— -~l >r|MI
This is the best telling, best wearing Beet ever put V>»« Alaska.
