CHEAPER DOLLAR
OVERCOMES BIG
WAGE INCREASES

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Al-
w though the average workman has
received wage increases since 1914
equaling from 60 to 76 cents on the
dollar, the dollar itself has so shrunk
in purchasing power that the aver
age worker has had his REAL WAGE
actually reduced between % and 30
per cent since 1914.
This is the conclusion from figures
presented by the Department of La
Dor, resulting from a study covering
prices and wages during this period.
The relative wholesale price figures
for various groups of commodities
collected in the month of November
for the years 1913-1919, inclusive,
show that the dollar, which in 1918
was worth 100 cents, was worth, in
1919, only 43.9 cents.
THUS:

made up in wage increases?

age actual earnings per male work
er for the identical working time, in
industries, increased

was receiving, in 1919, S1.76 for each

MINING INSPECTOR ON
 VISIT TO INTERIOR

Territorial Mine Inspector B. D.. Stewart was at Nenana last week, having made the difficult trip from McGrath on the Kuskokwim up the south fork of that river to Muchi- nina and down the Kantishna to the Panama.
 MT. Stewart will go to Fairbanks and come out over the Richardson highway to Chitina, going from Chitina to the Kennecott and al jacent mines. He is expected in Cordova this week to take a boat south
 MT. Stewart left Juneau in August on his annual tour of inspection of the mines of the interior and west ern Alaska. On the trip he has been to the scene of the new development work near McGrath on the Kusko- kwim and into the Kantishna where much activity is reported in mining.

APARTMENT OF MINE TIMERS
 IS DISCUSSED

Of special interest to the Alaskan mining industry are the results of tests by the United States forest products laboratory to determine the relative values of treated and untreated mine timbers.
 Enormous quantities of valuable timbers are being placed in the mines of the Territory without any preservative treatment against decay That the life of such timbers might be greatly heightened by the injec- tion of certain chemicals has been proved by numerous tests.
 In 1910 the laboratory installed in an Alabama mine untreated timbers and timbers which had been treated with coal-tar creosote. Ten years later all the untreated timbers had been removed because of decay, while so per cent of the creosoted timbers were still sound and none had decayed to a point where re- moval was necessary. This is only one of the many records obtained by the laboratory which should in duce every mining company to in stall some sort of wood treating plant
 At least three preservatives have been found suitable for mine work, being coal-tar creosote, zinc chloride. and sodium fluoride. Creosote is the most effective in preventing decay. Timbers thoroughly impregnated with it are likely to resist decay un- til they are crushed or worn out. Occosianal objection is made to the possible fire hazard of creosoted wood. but long experience indicates that the additional fire risk is very small. Zinc chloride and solium fluoride are od5rless. and if any thing they tend to reduce the in flammability of wood. They are cheaper than creosote, and although they do not give such permanent protection they greatly increase the life of timbers Coal-tar creosote may be applied by the brush, dip ping, open-tank or pressure method Zinc chloride and sodium fluoride may be injected by the sleeping, open tank. or pressure methods. The cost and effectiveness of the methods of treatment increase in the order given. The saving possible with any of these methods is so great that it will pay every mine to adopt the use of some preserva- tive on permanently located timbers.

CITY DOCK QUESTION
 AGAIN BEING DISCUSSED

't last nights meeting of the city council the dock question was again under discussion and was fin ally referred to the street commit tee to take up with Superintendent Corser with a view of having the
 ailroad pay the expense of the new construction of the proposed ap- Droach to the city dock under their right of way.
 Edward P. Harwood was elected city assessor.
 The special committee appointed to look into the cemetery question reported that as the weather had l-cn- so bad they would like an eX tension of time to complete their investigations More time was given them.
 In the report of the health officer he asked that the patrolman be re- quested to question any child who was on the street, more particularly during school hours, and order them home if they showed any signs of sickness. The matter was left in the hands of the chief of police to take up with patrolman.
 MT. Chas. Goodall addressed the council and asked that street light be installed in the rear of the post office. It was moved, seconded and carried that light be installed as requested also that two light be in stalled in the alley between First and Second from B avenue to the Burkhart alley

WILL BE TRAINED
 AS TEACHERS

Katherine Goodlata and Lucey Craig, Copper river native orphans, are here on their way to the Chemawa school for Indians at Chemawa Oregon, under the super vsion of MT. Paul l.. Schwartz, the U. s. government teacher of the Copper river valley. These girls are being sent to the states to be trained as teachers and to return to their own native people and carry on the educational work of the Alas ka division of the bureau of educa- tion
 Katherine is the only daughter of the famous Chief GoodIata, deceased, known throughout Southwestern Alaska as having been the most capable and thrifty and highly ye- spected leader of the Copper river tribes. Katherine is from Chitina. where years attendance at school has revealed that she is a very in telligent ambitious little girl with an extraordinarily large capacity for learning. She was the highest standing pupil of the school and in the estimation and opinion of Mir. and Mrs. Schwartz, she is not only equal to the average white girl of her age in mentality. but she will hold her own with many white girls of keen mentality. Inheriting as she has the strong Indian traits of char acter, physical endurance, and being inured to many hardships as a mere child, very promising results are anticipated from schooling at the renowned Chemawa institution.
 Lucey Craig, seven years old. comes from Copper Center At this early age this child has learned to use sewing machine, making many dresses for her little dollie. She shows artistic talent spending many HUI LII d W lIS ucSlSllS, dHlildlS, anu often creating attractive designs of her own. So keen is her ear. that Lucey can initiate to perfection the songs of many birds the barking of the dog, the meowing of the cat; the honk honk of the auto. She already speaks good and clear English and is rapidly learning the white mans habits and manerisms. Imagine what mingled delight and surprise and bewilderment this little soul is experiencing on this trip, as she has never before seen a train, town nor many of the common every day wonders of the civilized communities. . She will see her first moving picture performance tonight
