the departure of the Victoria from St.

const port the Victoria picked up an
additional two hundred odd passon-j

tlie outgoing voyage.
Despite tin- fact that the Victoria
arrived loss than a week ago. the sup
ply of potatoes- In Nome is already ex
ceedingly scant and dealers are limit
ing purchases to small. amounts in
order to have the small supply last
over until the Victoria returns. The
reason.for the shortage is said to lie
in the fact that the Victoria failed to
bring in several good sized shipments
ordered by local merchants. It is
stated that this is not the fault of the
steamship company hut is due prim
arily to the fact that the Vietnri.ifnr
rived in Seattle on Friday, when the
Seattleites were very much excited

Advices reaching local dealers from
Seattle announce that an acute sugar
shortngo exists in the Spirit City and
will probably result In some of the
Nome dealers who have failed to get
in their stocks finding themselves
without sugar for the winter.
The telegram detailing the situation
states that Seattle consumers are
being limited In their purchased at
present and are allowed no more than
two |H>unds of alignr per week. The
message also recommends that local
dealers observe extreme care In their
sugn> sales.
Investigation of the local sugnr situ
ation discloses that the stocks held by
Nome merchants are, with one excep
tion. small and probably insufficient
to last until the return of the Victoria.
A. Point. has been fortunate enough
to secure the Ipilk of his winter stock
already and possesses practically all
the sugar in Nome. Discussing the
situation today, Mr. I’olet stated that
he has no Intention of taking advan
tage of the shortage by increasing
prices in any degree whatsoever an.!
the Nome public need feel no alarm
on that score. On the contrary, he
will continue to supply sugar to custo
mers at the prevailing rates. To
(make the supply last, however, it will
be necessary to limit all sugar sales.
Mr. l’olet said that for the present he
will limit the amount which may be
purchased in a weekly period by In
dividuals to five pounds. He hopes
in this manner to conserve the supply
until the present situation Is resolved.
None of the dealers are aware of the
reason for the acute shortage on the
outside as no advices received during
the summer have Indicated a pros
pective shortage oh the const. Mr.
Polot says there is no present reason
to anticipate a sugar famine in Nome
next winter if the supply is conserved
as far as possible, even in the event
of no more arriving. Individuals
should do their part. however, by
avoiding excessive use or waste. In
the opinion of the dealers, some sugar
will arrive on the last trip of the Vic
toria but the probable quantity ciinnot
l)p even Hurmlsed.
The Carlisle Packing Co. cannery on
the Yukon delta enjoyed a fair season
despite the small run of fish and ship
ped a total of 57.000 cases of canned
salmon during the present open period,
according to Mr. Jack Gilbert, super,
intendsnt of the plant, who spent a
few days in Nome prior to the depart
ure or the Victoria. Mr. Gilbert also
confirmed the recent report that the
Carlisle cannery enjoys the distinction
of having landed the first king salmon
| reaching Seattle last spring. The
Yukon product reached the Sound
metropolis considerably ahead of the
king salmon from the southeastern
Alaska coast, greatly to the surprise
of the Seatfie fish dealers. many of
whom could hardly conceive that such
a thing was possible, owing to the re
mote situation of Tiering Sea as com
pared with Southeastern Alaska. Mr.
Gilbert says the fish attracted wide at
tention and proved a valuable adver
tisement for his company. The ship
ment was sent out cn a schooner at
considerable expense but the company
considers itself well repaid by the ad
vertising gained. Tho Carlisle plant
is ofHhe "floating” variety and is lo
eatedAtn the south mouth of the Yukon
below Andreafski, • The company em
ployed over 250 men during the season,
about 110 of thorn being whites end
tho remainder natives.
In addition to the tinned salmon,
the plant also put up a small amount
of salted fish. According to Mr. Oil-,
bert the run of king salmon this year
was not as good as formerly and the
run of silver and other varieties very
poor. Had the tuns been up to tho
usual average the plant would probab
ly have exceeded its season’s pack by
itwo or three hundred percent.
Mr, Gilbert was much impressed by
tho general aspect of liveliness wit
nessed in Nome. "I have visited
practically every important town in
the territory during the year," he said,
"but Nome appears far livelier than
many of them I have seen." Most of
the towns in other parts of the terri
tory appear industrially dead but hero
ono sees plenty of life and activity.
Nome seems an exceedingly lively
place after a visit to other towns in
Alaska."
