TIE MAKING WILL BE REVIVED
Tie “hackers” are coming back into their own, i:
recent reports from railroad headquarters are true, anc
is believed they are; $100,000 more annually will be pai(
to local tie contractors with the decision of Genera
Manager Ohlson to center that industry between Sewarc
and Anchorage and eliminating the imported product.
Southwestern Alaska hemlock ties have proven bj
rigid tests to be far superior than the imported pro
duct. This is an established fact. No. 2 ties will also b<
purchased by the railroad on a more liberal basis whicl
will make it worth-while for revival of the tie cutting
industry which should approximate around $175,000 an
nually and employ many men.
It is also understood a fair price is to be paid foi
No. 1 and 2’s, a price well above the imported product
The hauling of supplies, equipment and workers over
the railroad will make for increased revenues so all con
cerned should feel elated.
CAN AMUNDSEN BE ALIVE?
Three years ago Roald Amundsen, veteran explorer
and hero of world fame, took to the air in an effort to
rescue lost explorers in the frozen wastes of the Arctic.
He has been given up for dead, but Anthony Fiala,
explorer of New York, ventures the opinion that he may
be alive on Prince; Rudolph Island, where Amundsen
knew a food cache had been made and which was suffi
cient to keep him alive for several years.
We don’t know whether the Norwegian is alive or
not, but we do know, if there is the slightest chance of
his existence the world owes him the debt of establishing
the fact. There must be some way of making certain his
fate.
“POPULATION A POOR YARDSTICK”
• By A. V. Comings, of the Chilton Publications)
The sum that will be spent in the Small Town Mar
ket this year by the American public is well worth in
tensive effort on the part of sales managers, advertising
men and retail trade generally.
In analyzing the size of the Small Town Market, it
would not be amiss to sum up briefly a few of the fac
tors that contribute to the most amazing spectacle of
merchandising opportunity the world has ever known,
as it applies to the entire United States.
Many individuals are prone to measure buying
power by population statistics, but population is a poor
yardstick on which to predict sales quotas. Especially
big city population.
New York City, for instance, with its six million
population, will not buy nearly so great a volume of
automotive products as a six million population scat
tered through smaller cities, towns and rural sections.
For a very considerable portion of New York City’s
population does not have the money to buy.
The Nautilus, the submarine in which Sir Hubert
Wilkins proposes to dive under the ice pack and come
up at the pole, is reported to have played out in the open
sea a thousand miles from port. He can be thankful
that the ice cap was not above his head when the engines
stopped. No one can question his valor, but circumstances
indicate that this is an instance in which valor had bet
ter be tempered by discretion.
We fear these Japs will never understand American
civilization. The other day a dockyard at Kobe shut
down and the owners distributed $585,000 to their work
ers in sums ranging from $75to$2,225,000.
