JOME PRICES LOWER THAN
THOSE OF OUTSIDE
That Nome residents are escaping
to some extent the pinch of extreme
prices felt by people in the states this
winteijj is indicated in recent letters
stating that bread is selling for 17
cents a loaf in Seattle, while IT* «• *r>t -•
straight is demanded for the “staff of
life" in New York City. Here in
Nome bread of any variety may bo
purchased for 12VL» cents a loaf. Meals
are also said to be considerably cheap
er here than in tin* outside cities. One
correspondent writes that 65 cents
the minimum price for the same
character of meals for which Nome
restaurant patrons pay 50 cents.
This immunity is duo .of course,
to our isolation from outside market
centers. Thanks to our environment
we are still receiving the benefits of
prices as they existed Inst fall. How
ever. the chances are that we will
make up for it next summer, as the
letter says prices are still going up
In almost every line. As there is little
prospect of a change in the situation
outside during the two months before
navigation opens, we may expect some
hard thumps from the profiteers when
the boats arrive in June.

often at the risk of overturning t
