DON’T QUARREL WITH THE
BUTCHER.
We still hear many housekeepers
grumbling about the price they paid
the butcher for their turkey at
Thanksgiving. Grumbling and with in
sinuations which are as plain as the
nose on your face. As though the poor
man was to blame for the high price
of turkey. That is all a mistake. And
those insinuations directed at him, are
absolutely misdirected. The high
price of turkey this season is wholly
due to the recent Nome storm. We
are sure that he will admit that to
you himself. Now pray, what did the
butcher have to do with that bloom
mg storm: xsotning at axi, ox cuurec.
That’s another thing he has admitted
U> us. So don’t quarrel with him.
Th? poor devil cannot help it—any
higher anyhow.
As a matter of fact, if the truth
were known, we would tind that the
man is merely handling turkeys and
other meats just to accommodate his
customers. But if you feel that you
have a kick coming, kick at the oth
er fellow, for he is the man who is
getting the profits. So we should not
quarrel with the batcher any more
than with the bakei\
From the butcher, if we stop at
the bakery for a loaf cf bread, the
baker will gladly volunteer the in
formation that on account of the scar
city of fish last summer, the price
of lumber has gone up, and for ten
cents we can get about half the loaf
of bread we used to get when the
fish wras plentiful.
Leaving the bakery, if we cross the
street to Hogue & Tveten, or to Stoft
&Refling, those people will assure
you that the high price of beans and
garlic is to be credited to the fool
ish action of Mount Katmai, which,
by its eruption last year, destroyed
all the grass on Kodiak island. And
that seems reasonable enough to be
lieve.
No, the only place where you really
can get a bargain is at the company
store; provided you can get the
“ladies’ man” to wait on you. From
him you can get a cucumber—in sea
son—for as little as 50 cents. And
that’s easy. At least he’ll make you
believe it is.
All in all, the tariff x-evision which
has cost the country a million or more
is doing us some good; provided al
ways, that we want to look at it that
way; and provided further that we
chose to be the "goats.”—Petersburg

CO-OPERATIVVE STORES
FOR ALASKAN NATIVES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—High liv
ing cost has practically ceased to give
the Alaskan native any serious con
cern since the government, through
the federal bureau of education, has
aided in establishing co-operative
supply stores at several places. These
stores carry all the goods the natives
desire and sell at a price that trad
ers cannot meet.
Heretofore, the bureau says, trad
ers have charged exorbitant prices for
goods they sold the natives and pur
chased native products at ridiculous
ly low figures. To meet this situa
tion and protect the natives, the bu
reau of education undertook the es
tablishment of co-operative stores
managed by the natives under the su
pervision of the public school teach
ers.
These stores have been very suc
cessful. One instance is cited where
a store at Hydaburg, in southeast
ern Alaska, after a year’s operation
" was able to declare a 50 per cent
cash dividend to its native owners.
There was left sufficient funds to
erect a larger store building.
A dredge operated by gasoline hae
been installed on Otto creek In the
Idltarod. The dredge operates to besi
advantage in ground averaging ter
feet deep and will be used to clear
up 8pots left by the mammoth
dredges, which operate to a depth ol
36 feet.
