NEW ARRIVAL TELLS
OF FOOD CONDITIONS
Miss Tatjana Yrrah, known as Ber
lin’s most beautiful woman, who ar
rived in the United States recently
tells of food conditions in Germany.
According to the New York World
Miss Yrrah says:
"On Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, the eating of meat is prohi
bited,” said Miss Yrrah. “On Tues
days and Thursdays meat may be
eat^p, bu.t po fats. On Saturdays and
Isuidays'bnesmay edt what he wishes
if be has the price.
“Chickens now cost $1.26 a pound
and then it isn’t good, because noj
butter with which to cook it can be
obtained on meat days. For my pert
ham la the best thirjg on the German
menu now. That costs $2 a pound.
There is nb dearth of ducks,' Qsh and)
vegetables.”

ji Editor Prospectot: A very unu
sual Thanksgiving dinner took place
fil' the ‘diniity; Vobm of the Patten
mines, located on the south side of
the bay 'llom Valdez, one mile west of
Ft. Liscum, which will soon be ship
ping copper ore. The tunnel is prac
tically completed and the compressor
house and engine room Is now under
construction. A crew is at work cut
ting piling foi* the dock for which a
contract will be let for the construc
tion as soon as the weather permits.
But to return to the dinner. 1 was
very much surprised on bein^ inform
ed that quite a few of the dainties on 1
the table were sent by mall from j
Pennsylvania from friends of some of j
the hoys in camp.
The menu consisted of a roast pig,
also a beef roast, roast wild duck
with dressing, mashed potatoes and
gravy, cranberry sauce, apple sauce,
celery, headcheese, mince pie, fruit
cake, apples and oranges, pineapple
sherbet, candy and cigars. The can
dy was made by Miss Elizabeth Wil
liams and Miss Minerva Dixon; the
fruitcake was made by Mrs. Thomas
Hunt; the apples from which tbo
sauce was made were donated by
Mrs. William Colp; the cigars were
furnished by T. N. Gummert, James
Gummert, Samuel f’atterson and
George Dyer, ali of Tarentum, Pa.,
the home of Messrs. Sain meek, Colin
and Kuhn, who are employed at the
mines.
The boys have a good word to say
for their friends in' the east and
surety appreciated the bog of daint' >
they received through the mail.
My greatest regret was that I could
not re'm“aih until Siinday to see the
rekults of a Wager made by some of
the boys, to take a plunge in the bay
lit front of the camp at-1 p. m. I am
to receive pictures of the event to
convince 'me 'Of its being performed.

The big plate glass window, five [

staff is awaiting the arrival of a plate

H. D. Reynolds, of Valdez, one of
l£e mpst famous of Alaska promo
ters, promoter of the home Rail wav
out of Valdez, promoter of mining ac
tivity in that section, one of the
characters of Rex Beach’s "The Iron
Trail,” and at the present time inter
ested in promoting a smelter project
for Valdez, passed through Juneau
last night on the Mariposa bound for
the States.
Mr. Reynolds has probably led one
of the most adventurous careers in
the history of Alaskan business. He
first went to Valdez and fired the peo- i
pie of that town with his energy, pro- |
moted the Home Railway out of Val-i
dez through Keystone Canyon, and I
towards the Interior. His forces j
mixed with those of the Guggenheims !
and Reynolds was worsted in a light {
in the canyon in which several of his !
men were killed.
Later Mr. Reynolds left Valdez for
Seattle and Opened tip an office in an
effort to bolster up his fortunes, but
was unsuccessful and eventually fail
ed. He later returned to Valdez,
where he is now making an effort to
gather up the loose ends of his affairs
and rehabilitate his fortunes.
When seen last night Mr. Reynolds
refused to discuss his affairs, but let
it be inferred that he was going to
Seattle in’ah effort to float the smel
ter project.-^Juneau Empire.
HA I At UN PACK FOR > FAR
WA&9)RifijOX Jty?CORp
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—
Preliminary complications indicate
that t'he pack of salmon in Alaska
lor the season just ended ^ap the
greatest in the history of the “terri
tory. This was the statement made
(today by Dr. Smith, United States
Commissioner of Fisheries.
From the figures already tabulated
it is estimated that the pack will ag
gregate 4,700.000 casps. The mppt
notable gains over last year in cen
tral and western Alaska!
The Southeastern Alaska canner
ies did very well in their pack but
taken as a whole the pack for that di
vision iVas not a6 large as anticipat
ed. This was caused, said Dr. Smith,
by the light run of humpbacks.
