Pigs Is Pigs”
A ham is a piece of pig. Most pigs remain plain
pigs—a few go to the County Fair and win blue rib
bons. A ham from “just a pig” is “just a ham.” To
make sure that the ham will be truly “delicious,”
Frye-Bruhn and Co. starts with the pigs, grain-fed
animals, reared in cleanliness, prize-winning stock.
Throughout the process of curing the thought
is kept in mind that this is not just a “ham” in the
making—it’s a “Frye’s Ham,” requiring the experi
ence and genius of the Frye-Bruhn organization to
make it worthy of the Frye label. Then, after all,
the label isn’t necessary! Just taste it! If it’s “deli
cious,” it’s Frye-Bruhn’s ham.

When General Lord, director of the
Budget, last year endeavored to pare
down the Alaska Road Commission
estimates to $600,000 from $900,000,
as presented by Brigadier General
Jas. Gordon Steese, William Sulzer,
former governor of New York, ap
peared on the scene armed with facts
and figures and convinced Congress
that Steese w-as right.
According to advices from Wash
ington, the same situation presented
itself this year, and Mr. Sulzer has
been assured by the director of the
Budget that the estimate of $900,000
will pass. This, with the $200,000
allowed by the Territory of Alaska,
will assure $1,100,000 for road work
during the next year.
In a brief submitted to the director
of the Budget and the appropriations
commutes of Congress, Mr. Sulzer
said :
“Alaska’s vast area is divided into
many mining precincts. Compara
itvely few of these districts are easy
of access. Transportation is the
problem; good roads the solution.
“Having spent more than 25 years
mining in various parts of Alaska, I
can testify to the loss and the ob
stacles, due to lack of transportation.
“During the last 25 years my ef
forts have been in the Chandelar and
the White River mining districts, and
the facts herein presented are not
exceptional cases, but representative
of the average mining precincts, not
served by rail or water transporta
tion in Alaska.
“Barring the camps that are served
by rail, or water, I contend that
there is more than one-third of all
moneys expended, or the values of
the minerals taken from the ground,
in Alaska, has been consumed by the
single item, excessive freight costs,
due directly to lack of roads. In
other -words, roads enabling the eco
nomic hauling of freight to and from
the mines will make a saving of
more than one-third of the total cost
or output.
“To the uninitiated, this statement
may seem incredible, but not to the
mining men, in Alaska, who have
been thru the mill.
“The Chandelar mining district, an
important gold quartz and placer
camp, has been worked continuously
since discovery. The gold thus far
produced exceeds five hundred thou
sand dollars, and of this production,
more than one-half has been expend
\ t ■ • *
ed in handling of supplies and ma
chinery to the mines. Two hundred
thousand dollars of this tremendous
freight cost has been a loss due to
the fact that there is no road to the
Chandelar mining district.
“More serious still is the fact that
lack of transportation makes impos
sible the development of this great
gold quartz and placer district.
“The tremendous mineral resources
in the White River mining district
are still more inaccessible.
“Our transportation costs in these
two districts have exceeded $150,000,
and for this amount more than $100,
000 can be charged to loss for lack
of roads.
“In these camps we have 50 per
cent loss chargeable to the adverse
freight conditions. This percentage
is greater than the average one
third loss cited for other camps, and
shows the appalling handicap mining
is laboring undeT in interior Alaska.
"Without road conditions being im
proved in these districts, mining
there is doomed, but with only fair
roads cutting the costs, the mineral
industry in these districts can be
made to pay for many years in the
future.
"The construction df roads to the
mining districts will go far to solve
Alaska’s problems.
"Road matters in Alaska are in ca
pable hands. The Alaska Road Com
mission and Colonel Steese deserve
commendation. The appropriation
they ask for should be allowed.
“Some of our states expend mil
lions of dollars on a single road pro
ject, yet Alaska does not get suf
ficient road money to enable her to
progress intelligently In real road
building. Why not give Colonel
Steese a chance to. finish the roads
he has under construction and so ac
complish results worth while?”
FIREMEN MEET TONIGHT
