TOEXPERlMENT
 AT VALDEZ

The Seattle SnowSled company will bring one of it's newly invented vehi- cles to Valdez this winter and give it thorough try out over the Richardson road and on the flats in this vicinity, says the Valdez Miner. The snow at tains depth of from ten to twenty feet in this vicinity and if the sleds can work under conditions obtaining here th9y will be a success in any part of the northland.
 At many points on the trail. after the mountain range is reached, the drifts become as hard as ice, and sled would have to overcome sideslip as well as go- ing over the drifts. The road is gener- ally in excellent condition after snow fall, as the glacier streams cease run ming with cold weather.
 In case the sleds are given try-out here there is no doubt but that several can be sold to local men, as they will solve the winter freighting problem.

TRIP Is MADE BY
 TECO

Robert c. Sweatt of the Tay or En- gineering Co.,, Vancouver, has been giving the camp the once-Over with a view to determining it's future necessi- ties in the commodities which his firm handle. He expressed himsel as being much impressed with the way the peo- pie here are getting things going, and intends returning in couple of months for longer stay.
 MT. Sweatt is a very strong advocate of the semi-diesel type of engine and believes that they will become extrem- ly popular in any part of this country where hydraulic power is not available. He says that the steamer Teco, upon which he came north from Vancouver, made the trip at cost of SIP for fuel and lubricating oil, and was six days on the way. The Teco can handle 300 tons of freight, and is equipped with a 16O h. p. semi-diesel engine. The fuel oi for this type costs in Vancouver seven cents gallon which, compared with the price of gasoline, looks like getting money from home.

MOOSE MEANT
 MISCHIEF

W. w. Flynn at Mile 21 on the Alas ka railroad recently had an exciting ex- perence with a COW moose and her calf. The COW charged him and leaped upon the handcar. MT. Flynn found it was not large enough for both him and the moose and sprinted for a telegraph pole with the enraged moose tickling his neck with her whiskers. The ani- nal was too close for him to try to climb the pole and after lodging abont for some time some dogs nearby drew the animals charge, and MT. Flynn again hit the handcar with Mama Moose in pursuit. Rounding curve number of section hands were encountered who charged in mass formation, rescuing MT. Flynn from serious predicament.

RYDER, ALASKA, October 24, 1919.
KLOSH KLA-HOW-YA

It is customary for the perpetrator of new newspaper to make excuses in the first issue for it's birth. Among the high-brows this would probably be called a ''salutatory". When the last number of an expiring sheet gives it's pre-mortuary gasp, an obituary notice appears at the head of the edit orial column.
 The Hyder Alaska Miner is going to make no excuses. The reason for it's existance at the newest and greatet mineral belt of the northwest should be patent to anyone acquainted with local conditions.
 Neither will the be any obituary for the very simple reason that none will be necessary.
 It is enough to state at this time that the editor of this paper is an old-timer in western mining camps and fortunate in having the acquaintance of large proportion of the towns pioneers. He wants to keep in continual touch with them and to get acquainted with the others, so that all may pull together for the fulfillment of Hyder's destiny.
 With continuance of the spirit in which the town has been established, Hyder will soon be the biggest town in Alaska, as it is now the busiest and brightest.
 But it's up to everyone to keep boost ing.
 The Miner will do it's share.

Silks
Gounfry-Wide Rage for
Silks Sacomps Mills
With Orders

Buying Of silk goods yesterday was
exceptionally heavy, probably being in
excess of that for any day since the
fall season opened two weeks ago.
Visiting merchants, besides placing lib
eral orders for fall fabrics. also bought
good quantities Of the spring weaves
out of stocks still being carried by sell
ing agents.
Travelling men sent in what heads
OF leading concerns referred to as
"enormous ORDERS" the rage for silk in
all parts of the country apparently
rendering it easy for road statesmen to
get business. Some Of the more popu-
lar fall feaves already have been sold in
quantities equal to the capacity of the
mills which produce them In other
cases selling agents accepted orders
only with the understanding that de-
liveries would be made as soon as prac-
ticable. The plain fabrics seemed to
be in brisk demand, and goods suitable
for lining women's coats have been
sold in unprecedented volume.
Precise figures regarding the bust
ness done in the month of April were
not available, but some of the largest
houses in the trade reported that the
money value of the turnover last
month eclipsed that of any month in
their history.

Chemicals
German Chemicals Again
Finding Fay Into Neu-
traL Markets

Sales of German-made chemicals.
especially pharmaceuticals. TO the
Scandinavian countries and Holland are
increasing daily, according to reports
reaching the trade here. The Ger
man manufacturer. in the opinion OF
local dealers, will have little difficulty
in regaining these markets even though
they may be forced to pay more for
labor and materials than they did be-
fore the war. Their principal advan-
tage over competitors in other coun-
tries is said to be in lower freight
rates on heavy chemicals, while in the
case of pharmaceuticals, the cost of
transportation of which is relatively un
important because of the smallness of
packages and the high price of the
product, the Germans have the ad
vantage of proximity to the Neither
lands and Scandinavian markets.
The principal pharmaceuticals being
sold by the Germans to those markets
are reported to be all grades of salicy-
lates, benzoates and phenacetine. The
effect of these sales apparently is al
ready felt by American manufacturers.

Business Now Doing in
Local Dry Goods Market

Less snap in the buying Of print
cloths, but sustained activity in de-
mand for bleached as we'll as colored
cottons, was observed yesterday in the
drygoods district. Leading mill agents
asserted that they had taken so much
business in colored shirtings for the
spring season of 1920 that they might
be forced to cease booking additional
orders until the mills increased their
outputs. All other kinds of colored
fabrics were in excellent demand.
Bleached goods were taken by cut
ters in liberal volume, and jobbers
bought fairly large quantities. Job
bers from the South seemed to be the
best customers Some of the selling
agents asserted that bleached goods
were pretty we'll sold up to next Sep
tember, and it was intimated that the
next four months would see a paucitv
of spot stocks.
In the gray or unbleached goods divi-
sion of the market buying seemed to
have abated somewhat, probably be-
cause of the recent advances in prices
incident to the large volume of orders
that had been placed during the last
few weeks. While clothing Innings
were sale to be in good request, some

Gently by the manufacturers have been

Prices have remained unchanged for

to be plentiful, but the finished product
is scarce. Originally chamois skin was
obtained from the animal of that
name, native of the Swiss Alps and
other mountainous sections, but now
it is part of the skin of sheep.
The uses for chamois skin are con-
stantly increasing. In addition to
being used extensively for cleaning

Prosperity Depends On
Success of Victory Loan
Head OF Woollen and Worsted Committee Explains
Why Business Men Should Invest in Notes
Offered by Government

~ VERY business man should be
made to realize thoroughly that
prosperity in this particular
line of trade as we'll as every other
industry depends largely upon the
success of the Victory Liberty Loan"
Manton B. Metcalf, chairman of the
Woollen and Worsted Committee, said
yesterday, when asked what seemed to
be necessary to give impetus to the
drive for subscriptions among the vari-
Gus trades of the city.
"If the woollen men want the in
creased business which has come to
them in the last few months to con-
tlnue,' he said, "they will do their share
IN lending the government money en-
enough to pay it's just debts and so help
keep the nation on a sound financial
basis, and the wheels Of industry turn
ing.
The present drive to sell Victory
notes lacks some of the patriotic fervor
that characterized previous war loan
campaigns, SO it seems necessary to
make the appeal for subscriptions
along business lines stronger. This is

not difficult to do when Offering Sc
curity like Victory notes. They offer
exceptional advantages both to the
large and the small investor. The
governments proposition is fair to
everybody, and | can think of no valid
excuse that could be made by anyone
for not investing in them.
Our industry is one of the largest
in the city, and has high quota but
feel confident that before the drive
is over the Woollen and Worsted Com
mittoe will be able to announce that
the thousands of patriotic Americans
engaged in the trade which it repre-
scnts have bought Victory notes in ex-
cers of the amount allotted to them.

subscriber to the Victory Loan does

weeks. Jobbers from one end of the

cra orders, and these have been sup
plemcnted by large orders received
from travelling statesmen. Prices for
silk hosiery have been advanced 7z
to 10 per cent within the past fort
night Satisfactory orders for chill
dren's fine mercerized cotton hosiery

Business Money

1t is beginning to be recognized that
one of the main reasons why business
is not borrowing now is not because
business is bad, but because it has ac-
cumulated remarkable cash surplus
and is going along on it. One of the
hopes of those who make their living
on the commercial paper market is that
as business expands these funds will
be used up, will prove inadequate, and
when that line is passed business will
step in to borrow.
