FOR THE e v OF IT."

As production d.iminishes, scarcity
grows. And then the law of supply
and demand COTS tp work. When
supply diminlslles, demand grows.
So prices rise.
Whenever a body of wOrkmen dis
like the prices of commodities, they
strike for more pay, and production
diminishes. So prices rise still higher
The grievance which the strike was
TO cure is only intensified by the
strike. The medicine pakes the pa

Winter Hats Plan
for Trading Posts
i'm Alaskan Wilds

Nome, Alaska, Nov. 15.-Early arc
tic winter has halted the summer
work of an expedition, headed by
Captain Louis Lane, of Nome, sent
by Boston, Mass, interests into the
Canadian Artic to establish string
of twenty-eight trading posts.
The new company plans to operate
in a section of the continent in which
the British Hudson's Bay company
has worked for more than two CEN
turtles trading supplies for the furs
caught by the natices. A big Bos-
ton fur company, it is said, is behind
the enterprise.
The expedition went into the north
overland, through Calgary, Canada,
last summer, with approximately
eight carloads of goods and supplies,
said to be worth $4,000. The COM
panv also sent in a river power boat
to navigate the Mackenzie river,
which drains northern Canada and
along which the company intends to
operate. The boat was sent in sec
tions and was assembled when it
reached the headwaters of the river.
This summer was spent by the ex-
petition in working down the Mac
kenzie. The men expected to reach
Herschel Island, near the mouth by
winter. Instead, they reached the
vicinity of Fort Mcpherson, on the
lower reaches of the river. They
probably will winter at Fort McPher-
son and proceed on to the Attic De-
can in the spring
After getting established the COM
pany will supply its trading posts
from Nome. Boats with goods and
will be sent from here
around Point Barrow and along the
Arctic coast to the company's sta
lions on the Mackenzie.
