TRADE ACTIVITY
KEEPS GROWING
WITH: BRITISH
-
LONDON, Feb. V. — The fourth
year of war has been remarkable for
ihe sustained activity of trade, ‘he
continuous and cumulative increases
in wages and the ferment in the en
gineering and munition industries,
says the Daily Telegraph
During the past twelve months
wage increases to workingmen ex
ceeded 100.000.000 pounds and the in
creases during the three years 1915
16-17, together with the rise in prices
,>f commodities, have completely re
volutionized the pre-war economic ha
*is of British trade.
I he unpleasant feature of the year
has been the growing discontent and
un» est pervading large sections of the
workers and this is si " n the num
her of industrial disputes, often of the
most trivial kind. Oidcnu icwums
from January to November indicate
I there were 404 disputes during those
months atfecting 647,724 workers and
causing the loss of over 3,500,000
working days, the greatest loss of
time b*»ing recorded during Septeinbei
October ind X >vember.
The number of persons unemployed
j |S the lowest on record, and through
out the war period the figure has
steadily declined till it is now below
one per cent.

VICTORIA HAS
HARD TIME IN
GETTING AWAY!
- !
Steamer Victoria was at the San j
Juan dock early this afternoon wait* j
ing for the wind to subside in ordoi I
to clear for the south. The steamer
is expected to get away at any hour.
The Victoria left the Seward dock
shortly after 9 o’clock last night andj
started for the San Juan dock. A|
high wind was blowing at the time!
and Cape. Davis had a hard time
landing and in doing so damaged the
guard rail on the dock and bent sev
eral of the piles including those on
one end used generally by steamers
to hang to when swinging around.
Owing to these piles being damaged,
Capt. Davis did not care to move un
til the wind died down or he was
hauled out into the stream by pulling
on anchors.
The following passengers from!
Seward are aboard the Victoria: E. T.
Fisher, Grace Morley, E. R. Arbuckle
and wife, L. L. Stickler, S. Freyd, J.

George Krause, a quarter breed In
dian, who was in Seward about four
weeks ago from Ruby and then left;
for Seattle, has enlisted in the infan
try at Seattle and is now on his way
to Fort McDowell, Anyel Island, Cal.
Krause was turned down by the mili

they' understood his Indian blood was1
a bar to enlistment. Krause mushed
out from Ruby' to Seward and caught
the first steamer to Seattle where he
was successful in attaining his pur

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 8. — (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press). —
The almost complete lack of nourish
ment in many of the food “substi
tutes" now being sold in Germany is
arousing a storm of warning from
German scientists, who declare that
government supervision of the whole
substitute food traffic is an immediate
necessity. Professor Juckenack of the
University of Berlin, writing in the
Vossische Zeitung, says:
“It is useless any longer to hide the
truth. Unless the Government active
ly intervenes to put some control over
the flood of substitute foods with
which we are overwhelmed, the end of
the war will also see the end of a
third of Germany’s population. More
over, the remaining two-thirds will be
so enfeebled from malnutrition that
they will be unable to perform the
immense tasks of recuperation and
restoration.
"The devil alone knows what are
the ingredients of thousands of these
wretched substitutes that already do
duty for butter and eggs, oil and
milk, flour and spirits, meat and
broth, coffee and sugar, tobacco and
tea, fish and sausage, cheese and ca
viar, and so on without end.
“The latest products of the ingen
ious substitute-mongers are really too
terrible to be tolerated. A prepara
tion of crude kerosene is now being
largely sold as frying oil, and 800
cases of serious illness together with
nine deaths have been traced to its
use in Berlin alone. A preparation
called “goose dripping” is prepared
from dog’s fat; egg substitutes from
a mixture of chalk and baking pow
der; caviar from fish scales, and bread
from straw. What people, no matter
how patnotic, can hold out on such
fare?”
CAPL NORTON
IS IN SEWARD
FROM INTERIOR
Captain N. G. Norton, well known
Alaskan, accompanied by his wife,
arrived in the city last night and they
are making their headquarters at the
Hotel Seward. Furthermore, the cap
tain and his wife intend to locate in
this city. The couple came here di
rect from Marshall City.
“There is no reason for any excite
ment over the reported placer gold
strike at Good News Bay,” said the
Captain.
Coming out on the trail, Capt. Nor
ton met Joe McDowell, one of the best
kao'vn mining men in the country who
was returning to Marshall City from
the scene • of the Good New* Bay
strike. According to Mr. McDowell i
there are only three paying claims in
operation in the new district. Per
sons intending going there are a Ivis
ed to wait until summer as supplies
are short and there is no fuel timber
in the Good News Bay District.
Curley Smith and Joe Jean, opera
tors in the Marshall City* district,
have taken options on several claims
in the Good News Bay region and pro
pose extensive development work next
summer.
Trail conditions from the interior
are bad, according to Captain Norton.
Anderson’s road house, known as the
Pass Creek roadhouse, is flooded and
the entire lower floor is unfit for oc
cupancy'. Guests are required to en
ter the house with the aid of a ladder
through the second story windows.
The waters in Pass Creek some time
ago brake through and inundated the
lower floor of the roadhouse which
now has the appearance of a small
glacier.
The trail practically the entire dis
tance from the interior to Anchorage
was extremely bad. From Anchorage
to Seward, what distance is made
afoot, the travel was excellent.
Capt. Norton was the first man to
bring gold out from the lditarod by'
the overland route. This was in l'*13
and the captain was accompanied by
Bob Griffiths.
