INDEPENDENT ALASKA

Reports coming from the Outside indicate that we need not look for much, if any, reduction in the prices of foodstuffs in Alaska dur ing the coming summer. Many items, it is said, will show marked advances over present prices.
 Nothing that we can say or do, in so far as the imported goods are concerned, will help the situa- tion. We can buy the goods, if We have the price, or we can do with out. There is no remedy for the situation, locally. The trouble is with Outside conditions and Out side markets.
 While the war was in progress, we were urged by the food ad- ministration to plant war gardens, that the burden of supplying Alas kans with Outside products might be frightened The suggestion was followed with more profit to war gardeners than benefit to the na- tion and was well worth whil6 on that account, even though not par ticularly helpful to the govern ment It demonstrated to families not already aware of the value of home gardens, that the cost of living might be greatly reduced and the home table made more at tractive through the use of home grown products. The profits, in savings, began when the first crops were harvested, and lasted until the cellars were emptied, late in the winter, of the last of the vege- tables.
 If it was worth while to plant gardens during war times, it s doub'y worth while now, with food prices soaring and wages anchored securely at a pre-war level. There is no section of the United States where one may live So cheaply as in Alaska, if one chooses to do so. Our territory, and particularly the

ming at Keens Chop House or the Sal
magundi Club, when he rose Jovelke to
preside over an assembly the like OF
which it would be hard to duplicate any
where? No one else could have done
what he did. The great character of the
man. rising above all personal considera-
tons, shone forth in his intense earnest
ness and patriotic fervor; he moulded
the divergent views OF the active minds
around him into one composite impulse
of service for the greatest cause that the
nation could undertake. Himself a mas
ter OF his art. he subordinated self to
the common interest and placed the
works OF his own hand absolutely at the
