"No pennies, nickels and dimes go
in Alaska" said John Hoover, of
Fairbanks. when 1 first went to
that country l saw bartenders look
curiously at a dime that some tender
foot had tossed on the bar and then
sweep it off on the floor with their
hands. I wondered at this contempt
for real money and asked some ques-
tons about it, discovering that no
one ever took nickels or dimes and
that nothing could be bought in the
Klondike for less than 25 cents.
Take the ordinary sack of tobacco
for instance. which we get here for a
nickle. There they cannot sell 1t for
a quarter, hardly, so they make 1t two
for a quarter but will not sell one
for Is cents.
''It is a common cause among those
people up there. They do not want
nickels and dimes introduced. for
Introduction of small change would
mean lower wages and lower prices.
Ordinarily shovelers get 81 or IS a
a day now and other labor Is paid In
proportion. They do not want to re-
ceive lower wages.
