BULGING WITH HIGH
GOST OF LIVING
SHIP SAILS NORTH
Forty pounds of candle grease
bangin’ to the mantelpiece and fifty
pounds of venison hams a swingin’ In
the chimney Jams," Is a snatch from
the old frontier song of plenty. On
board the United States army trans
port Crook, which sailed Sunday for
Anchorage with supplies for employes
of the government railroad were
enough good things to eat to make
the old song sound like a wall from
a European famine district.
Picture In these days of high prices,
2,600 quarters of fresh beef swingin'
tween decks cn the Crook. It would
weight 260 tons. Then there was 160
tons of assorted groceries, fourteen
tons of fresh fruit and vegetables. 600
eases of eggs, fresh eggs at that, and
twenty tons of rolled oats.
Lest the employes should forget the
Biblical command regarding eating
their bread by the sweat of their brow*
the Crooks also has on board 7,200
shovels, including 650' tons of steel
rails, 150 rail llftflttlngs, 137 tons of
heating and plumbing equipment,
eleven tons building and roofing paper,
five bobsleds, one mountain wagot>
and two spring wagons.
All work and no play makes Jack a
"ill b .v—vcy vc,i, also Included were
| complete sets of gymnasium appara
tus of which one of the items was a
I bowling outfit for the Y. M. C. A.
| Carrying coals to Newcastle has
nothing on carrying a complete 12
I ton refrigerator plant, according to
those who believe Alaska Is a land of
! continual Ice and snow. The plant Is
consigned to Anchorage and will be
used by the engineering commission.
I’. S.- Watts, an expert refrigerating
engineer, goes along to install nnd
operate the plant.—P.-I.
