HUSH SHIP

P
In 1851 an arrangement wai
made to move a shipment of 25(
i tons of ice from Novo Arkhangelsk
(Sitka) to San Francisco at a rat<
of $75.00 per ton. This shipmenl
actually moved in February, 1852
In October of that year the rat*
was cut to $35,000 a ton and the
tonnge increased to 1,000 tons. Thb
rate was in effect for a period ol
three years. The rate was then
further decreased.
Between the years 1852 and 185S
the records indicate that there
moved from Novo Arkhangelsk tc
' San Francisco a total of 13.960
| tons of ice, and from Kodiak, 7,403
j tons.
I The ice was secured from a lake
j near Sitka and on a lake on Wood
i Island near Kodiak,
j Thus, for a period of several
! years, there was quite a movement
, of ice from Alaska to San Fran
| c’sco. In later years, fishermen in
! Alaska used ice which dropped off
’ the face of live glaciers for icing
their catches. Now, with the mod
ern cold storage plants in the Ter
ritory, fishermen use ice furnished
them by these cold storage plants.

It is said that about 15 halibut
boats are tied up in Kodiak where
they sought refuge from the ad
verse weather conditions.
A MISTAKEN POLICY
When business is rushing, the ad- 1
vertiser feels that he has plenty of
money for advertising ;so he spends
it to get more business than he can
conveniently handle without in- j
crease of capital and overhead ex- ■
pense. Then when business is bad,
the very time he ought to advertise
to bring in more business, he cuts,
off advertisng, there-by reduc'ng
his chances of a return to normal
volume.

To facilitate its deep level ex
ploratory pregram, now more than
ja year toward completion, the Al
jaska Juneau will begin the instal
lation of additional equipment, it
was made known in the Juneau
Emp re by L. H. Metzgar, general
superintendent. Thus new equip
ment has arrived and is being pre
pared for installation.
I It will require between three and
four months to get everything in
and in shape to be used. Mr. Metz
gar said. The equipment includes:
a 2,600-foct compressor, three 2,
000-kilowatt transformers, 5,000
feet of underground cable and 5,
000 feet of 10-inch pipe to be used
with the compressor.
The compressor will be installed
near the portal of Gold Creek tun
nel. The foundation has been com
pleted and is ready for the com
pressor to be erected. This work
will st »rt the first of next week.
The transformers will be installed
at the Gold Creek substation. Tow
ers for them have been erected.

Just think what this means for Chesterfield smok
ers. It means that the larger part of 90 million
dollars is invested in Domestic and Turkish tobac
cos that are being properly aged in Nature’s way,
and cured so as to make them sweeter and milder.
CHESTERFIELD tobacco is packed in wooden
casks, each containing about 1,000 pounds, and
stored for two years in modern, up-to-date ware
houses.
These warehouses, if placed end-to-end, would
be about four miles in length. From floor to ceil
ing they are filled with these casks of fine tobacco,
ageing in Nature’s slow but sure way.
It takes a lot of money to make a good cigarette
—money to buy good tobaccos and money to age
them properly.
CHESTERFIELDS are milder, and taste better...
there’s a 90 million dollar reason why! Just try them!
