STRIKE SEAM OF
ANTHRACITE IN
BERING FIELD
KATALLA. June 17, 1917.—(By
mail.)—Word has been received from
the Alaska Petroleum & Coal com
pany’s coal mine in the Bering field,
that the main standard size gangway,
upon which they have been working,
has reached the No. 2 vein of coal,
which is four feet in width and of
the best anthracite quality.
During a quarrel between two Greek
fishermen at the Chilcat cannery, one
of the men was stabbed in the hip.
His tobacco can, which happened to be
in his pocket, prevented any serious
injury, but the man’s hand was badly
cut as he tried to grasp the knife. A
warrant has been sworn out for the
arrest of the assailant.
Charles Bethel anil Miss Jennie
Rosenberger were quietly married re
cently.
Three black bears were killed on the
railroad track back of town and Joe
Waldrom, stepping out to take a look
at the weather the other night, came
face to face with a huge black bear
on his front porch. He shot the ani
mal and secured a very fine skin.
Mrs. Janet Errusard has announced
the engagement of her daughter.
Adele, to Harry Anderson of this
place.
The Admiral Farragut. due tonight.
will unload 210 tons of rails for the
Alaska Anthracite Railroad company
at (loose City, and the work of laying
rails will begin immediately.

Skagway is proud of its Home
Guard. That body gave a drill in the
open air recently and the Alaskan
says of it that more than one specta-!
tor was disappointed as they expected:
to be entertained by an awkward
squad, but instead the guards went
through their first outdoor drill like
a company of veterans.

FOOD SPECULATORS, PLAYING TAG
WITH U.S.; CONTROL NECESSARY
(By Gilson Gardner) |
WASHINGTON, Juno t.—Tho food!
speculator is now playing tag with |
government officials. The question
is, can he be caught? The food!
speculator is primarily responsible for
the high cost of living.
1 A lot has been said and written
about crop shortage, and ;here is a
good deal of truth in what has been
said, but the speculator is a much
more important factor than the short
age.
For instance, the federal trade com
mission has been informed that the
pack of canned goods last year was
about the virc of the record pack fov
20 years. Vet canned goods have ad
vanced by leaps and bounds, and what
the producer sold for 85 cents is now
selling for $2.85.
A carload of peas left California a
few days ago. The first profit $lded
to the car was $100. Since then $5,500
have been added to that car and it is
still on its way to the consumer.
There is a pound of butter in cold
Storage in Boston which went in at
2;» cents. Its market quotation now
is 411 cents, and this profit has been
already absorbed by some half dozen
middlemen.
These middlemen enjoy such desig
nations as buyers, brokers, jobbers,
wholesalers and transportation agency
the warehouse trade and the wholesale
distributor are also speculators, and
these all add a big profit between pro
ducer and consumer.
The little^corner grocer is not the
criminal. Evidences of crime may
generally be found in the quantity of
loot possessed. If the corner grocer
were adding the big profits which
make cost of living high he would be
living in the big brown stone house.
If he is he will bear watching. If he
is not, look for the man who is.
The government knows the price of
coal is due to two things: monopoly
of the coal mines by the little group
of owners and a combination between
the owners and certain railroad inter
ests which transport their coal.
Prosecutions under the Sherman art
have failed to relieve the coal situa
tion, as they have failed to relieve the
monopoly situation generally.
The only answer remaining is to
take over the railroads as a war meas
ure and to undertake, also, govern
ment control'of warehouses and dis
tribution.
