WK ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACT
* l'RED PLUS IN THE NORTHWEST and all we ask of you Mr. Shipper
* i> to give US the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that
we pay more for furs and make quicker returns than you can get any
where in the country. We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and
have built up a very extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all
‘ part* of the Uniter! States Canada and in a great many European Cities.
|U shipping to us you are not only helping an ^lankan industry but
you are heiping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely as we buy direct from the trap
* per and trader and sell direct to the consumer, thus we are able to pay
you a better price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS
THE SAME D\Y SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If desired when your shipment amounts to $106.(V) or more, we will
* wire our hid and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense
’ and we will ship to any place you designate.
All wo ask of you is to he fair with yourself as well as with us and
* make u* a trial shipment, the result will make you a steady shipper.

( “In order to appreciate the need ox
j rapidly extending the surveys ol
; these waters,” says l)r. Jones, in
speaking ot Alaska, "it should be
! clearly understood that Alaska’s on!>
i joiuicelion with the rest ot the word
is by water routes. The amount ot
■he natural resources of Alaska ripe
for exploitation has been so great and
the prize they offered so tempting
Hull transportation could not wait for
the government to make the way sc
L-uic. It has gone ahead finding its
. own path in new fields, suffering
great losses in so doing, but content
to suffer them because the returns
were so immensely great.”
IV. Jones lays emphasis on tin* “*•
tn inc need for eompletinjc the "ire
drug work of the survey in Southeast
n Alaska waters. The wire dratnt in C
of the main steamship routes has been
completed 55 per cent, he says, and
1 no time should be lost in doing the
i ost of the work.
The report makes a strong appeal
for better financial support for the
survey service.

THE KEY
fore this country entered the war con
ditions had grown to a seriouV stage,
1 and since the signing oi the armistice
steady disintegration na.** gone on, v
the situation has reached a point
where the quality of the survey’s em
ployes is declining principally under
the stress of present economic condi
tions. Unless proper relief is forth
coming at once, and the pi'esent sal
aries are materially advanced, this
important branch of the federal gov
ernment which has so much to do
with the protecting of human lives,
will, in a measure at least, be strip|>^ ri
of its best brains.”
In the report it is shown that whi. *
the service has a consrderable num
ber of surveying vessels, due to cer
tain vessels used as patrol boats by
the navy during the war having beer,
turned over to the Coast and Geodct .'
Survey, yet these vessels were not d -
signed for surveying duties, and th
is a loss of efficiency in using a voss !
for survey work that is not suited for
such duties. (Cordova Times)
