REDUCING THE HIGH COST
 OF WALKING" IN ALASKA,

It is in Alaska that the high cost of living gets in its hardest licks. We of the United States scarcely know what the term means. Food is ex- tremely costly, it takes small for tune to purchase an outfit of clothes, and luxuries are beyond the reach of all but the millionaires. A pair of rubber boots costs from $15 to $2O, and because of the sharp rocks and stones upon which the men must work, an ordinary pair only lasts from thirty to forty days. In other words, it costs the miners about $50 a year for boots only.
 A most interesting experiment was conducted by the B. F. Goodrich Company recently, when they sent one of the first pairs of their Hi-Press boots ever manufactured to Alaska to be tested. The boots are made under a new process, the rubber and fabric being welded together under extreme ly high preSSure,-whence the boot got it's name. The pair sent to Alas ka were worn by a miner working side by side with other miners, who were wearing boots of other makes Although subjected to the same severe service on sharp rocks in the sluice boxes, the pair of Hi-Press Out-wOre seven complete sets of boots on the feet of the other miners. After ten months of wear they were sent back to the factory for inspection, and it was found that the boots were still intact, and the soles no more than half worn through.
 The Goodrich Company accounts for this remarkable service by say ing that the new method of curing boots under pressure, which has never been done before, gives exceptional durability to the rubber and also that the sole rubber is practically the same as that used on the Goodrich tire tread. In fact they say that the soles are so tough that under no cir cumstances will they wear out, and it 1 is never necessary for the wearer to tap his soles as has formerly been the practice. Because of the extra wear which the miners can get from the new Hi-Press, with a resultant say ing expense to them, the boot has be- come very popular and is in great de- mand.-Adv.
