INDICATIONS POINTS TO SPRING
RUSH TO ALASKA
Widely prevalent liard times on the
Outside, combined with other condi
States not particularly inviting at
present, will probably contribute to
bringing about a rush of large dimen
sions toward Alaska next Spring, ac
cording to Jack Young, manager of the
Lindeberg-Cole fishing plant on (Jol
ovin Bay, who writes from Seattle to
l*»cal friends that he understands that
1he spring Victoria, reservations were
all taken up in the latter part of Jan
uary and the company considering
placing an additional passenger
steamer on the Nome run to handle
the first traffic.
'•Conditions are sure 'tough' out
here." he says. “Thousands of idle
men all over the country’ and manv
failures are beginning to show up.
Many fatmdlies are commencing to suf
fe r from the pinch of poverty. From
all indications business failures are
going to be quite numerous before
long. All lines of business have start
ed cutting down their forces one half
or more. Many indications point to a
big stampede to Alaska next Spring,
as there are no attipctions for work
ing people out here. Big wages are
no more and employment is> difficult
to find anywhere. Wages are cut on
an average of 25% in all lines on Jan
uary I. Living has also come down In
a good many lines, especially in foods.
Clothing and shoes still seem high as
compared to pre war levels but they
are down a lot from what they were.
The quality is sfciil poor, however, as
the good-* now on the market were all
•made in the war rush days and are :
more or less inferior.
“You no doubt have heard about
the Seandanavinn-American Bank of
Tacoma falling. It was quite a shock
to everybody and all who krtow Joe
Sheldon feel pretty sorry for him.
However Joe was Its no wioe! respon
sible, The criticism mans to be all

EXTRA MAIL
SHIPMENTS AUTHORIZED
The movement to Nome of a large
accumulation of second daw mail
matter now nt Unalakleet has been
authorized’ by the Postoffice Depart
ment, according to a mid-week an
nouncement by Postmaster J. J.
Walsh. The mail 1n question is mat
ter withheld from earlier delivery by
reason of the weight limit of 500
pounds j>er trip on the Nomo-Unnln -
kleet run. Such accumulation is
practically inevitable as long as the
present low weight limit Is maintain
ed.. Mails arrive at Unalakleet twice
a week, with the hulk of matter con
tained destined for Nome and o’, her
points on the Nome run. whereas the
service between Nome and Unalakleet
vs confined to one trip a week, with a
weight limit too low to permit car
riage of the amount received at the
latter point. The result is congestion
which can seldom be cleared up save
by special authorization.
EASTERN STAR BALL
SCHEDULE CHANGED
Contrary to recent announcements
through the press, to the effect that
Alaska Uhapcr No. 1 Order of the
Eastern Star would resume its pre

week. Instead of giving a public en
tertainment. the organization now
plans to hold a private party, open
only to members of the Masonic or
ganization, their families and lady
guests, at Masonic Hall, on the evening
of April 1.
VIC SOLD OUT FOR SPRING RUSH
I That recent mail reports indicating
a spring rush to Nome are not far
amiss, .is indicated by the receipt of a
private wire from Seattle Wednesday
slating that R. A. Carroll, Nome agent
of the Alaska. Steamship Co. was au
thority for the statement that the en
tire passenger space of the Victoria
for the first trip was entirely sold out
two months ago. The message, com
bined with other makes to appear cer
tain than an unusually large number
of arrivals may be expected next
spring.
