ANCHORAGE. ALASKA, SATURDAY, MAY 1917.
EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED.
Tin* Willow creek gold ramp i- to he prospected ns never
before*, beginning with this season. Mr. Cred Lanluier. one ol
the pioneers of the mining ramp. Ini' brought in a compressor
drill and proposes to tear into the mountains ami determine
the important question, so far as this particular camp is eon
eerned, am I that is. I h> these rich gold veins that are now being
mined practical!) on the surface, extend and carry values to
o considerable depth? \\ ith this question determined, and it
can only he determined by development, and it it shall prove
that values maintain as depth is attained, the W illow creek
gold camp will he definitely placed on the map as a great and
permanent gold quartz camp.
We should say that the formation native to the Willow
creek gold camp is highly favorable to continuity of veins and
continuance of rich ore chutes. While experience lias taught
that there is no precedent in mining, every camp being some
what different than others, mining men are agreed that when
gold veins occur in the granite formation, known as a basic
or original formation, tin* chances are more than favorable for
values at depth.
THE REINDEER INDUSTRY.
A company lias been formed for the purpose of engaging
in the reindeer industry. The grazing grounds of the herds
will be in the Nelehina region, just to the north and over a
divide from the Matanuska valley, where there is ample na
tive food for the animals, reindeer moss'growing in abundance.
It is the plan of the promoters of the company to purchase a
thousand females and a hundred male’s to start with. It is un
derstood that these deer can be purchased in the Iliamna and
Kuskokwim regions and it will not be a difficult matter i<»
drive them from either of these points to the Nelehina region.
Eor th<* benefit of this part of Alaska. The Times wishes this
company all success, because it would mean an untailing meat
supply of a very desirable kind and would be a distinct asset
to this section.
The reindeer industry is a highly legitimate enterprise.
We recall the case of a trader who gathered a small herd of
reindeer some ten years ago. lie now has herds estimated to
contain, in the aggregate, ten thousand deer. The advantage
of raising reindeer over other food animals lies in the tact that
they hustle their own food supply and are practically immune
from the rigors of winter weather or severe climatic conditions.
Of course, the grazing grounds must supply the chief food ot the
reindeer, which is reindeer moss. Von can’t raise this animal
unless this particular food product is available, but being fa
miliar with the Nelehina and Ochetna regions, we know nun
deer moss is native to those sections.
The company has named Dr. II. O. Sehaleben as vice-pres
ident and manager. As is generally known, Dr. Sehaleben was
for a number of years the superintendent of the government
schools and government reindeer industry in the southwestern
part of Alaska, and consequently has had ample opportunity
to become familiar with the reindeer industry.

How many of you have read R. Service’s ‘Rhymes of a Red Cross Man ?
Yet they are rhymes well worth reading. The impressions of a man with
a highly developed sense of understanding the realties of life, writing of
things he saw ami lived, drawing pictures of war, and life in the camp,
with the touch of a great artist, Robert Service has again shown us a new
side of his versatile character. The book is published in a neat cloth bind
ing at $1.25 and Red Leather binding at $1.75.
We have also a number of new copyrights of 1917.
Growth is the inevitable result of work done in the right direction.
L. E. Waterman, a pioneer of one of the greatest enterprises in our
country—the manufacture of Fountain Pens—has made the “Waterman
Ideal Foundtain Pen” a name familiar in Madagascar as well as in New
York City, in the trenches of Europe’s battlefields and in a mine tunnel in
Alaska. It was not extensive advertising that educated the public to the
use of his fountain pen, it was the high quality of the pen as a whole, the
honesty of his claims for it, the broad policy of trying to fit the pen tor
the customer, not the customer to the pen—and not the least factor was
the guarantee that went with each pen. When buying one—and you will
do it sooner or later—it is well to remember that you can get just the
point you want—we have them in stock, or else we will get it for you. And
we will be very willing to mail a pen to you for trial if you will tell us what
kind of a point you prefer, medium, fine, manifold or stub, the prices are
from $2.50 to $7.50, depending upon the size of the gold point, and of course
we also carry the higher price pens up to $40.00.

FORCED TO RAISE PRICES.
The different bakers of the town,
including such concerns as Lennon’s
Bakery, The North Pole Bakery, The
City Bakery and The White Lunch
have gotten together and raised
prices. In so doing the concerns nam
ed above are willing to take the pub
lic into their full business confidence.
Everyone knows that the prices of all
foodstuffs have been raising with
great rapidity ever since the Euro
pean war first started and have gone
to extreme limits since the United
States became a party actually en
gaged in hostilities.
The price of May wheat on the Chi
cago market is now $2.75 per bushel
the highest price that this commodity
has sold for since the days of the civil
war. Flour sells in Anchorage at the
rate of Nineteen Dollars per barrel,
and all other commodities that go in
to the manufacture of bread and oth
er bakery goods have made nearly an
equal advance. At no time has the
profits in bakers’ goods been great in
this town, and to continue selling
goods at the same price as before the
raise in the raw materials would be a
clear case of business suicide. Form
erly three pounds of bread has been
sold here for 25c, or at the rate of
eight and a third cents per loaf. At
the present time the cheapest com
modity that goes into bakers’ manu
factured articles—flour—sells at the
rate of nine and one-half cents per
pound. All other commodities that go
into manufacturing the bakers' prod
ucts, such as milk, lard, butter, sugar,
fruits and seasonings and the like
arc all away up in price.
Outside there is talk of a fifteen
cent loaf, if we take the word of the
latest papers received from there.
The concerns below named have
therefore been compelled to advance
their prices, so from now on all bread
will sell at fifteen cents for a single
loaf or two loaves for two bits, and
all other bakery goods will have a
proportionate advance. As soon as
prices reach a point anything 'like
those that heretofore existed, Ahe
undersigned will lower their prices
to meet conditions. THESE PRICES
WILL $0 INTO EFFECT MONDAY,
MAY 7th.
