Business Outlook.
G. p. Macarthur. travelling freight
agent of the O.-W. r. & N. company
was in the city Tuesday. and accom-
parted by II. j. Arnett local agent,
called upon business men with the
view to getting a line on the business
outlook from the local standpoint.
Regarding the outlook from the stand
point of the railroads, Mr.. Macarthur
stated that the policy of retrench-
ment that has been adopted by his
company as well as by all other west
ern lines indicated that an early re-
sumption of business activity is not
anticipated. He stated that men were
being laid off in all departments, even
the local station having been subject
ed to a reduction in the force. sta
lions are being closed wherever pos
sible without serious inconvenience to
the public. one of which he named
was Amwaco. the west side landing of

been made in the Spokane shops cler-

THE PRICE OF LEAD

Present a Serious

Condition Brought About By
Competition With For
eign Lead
COSTS REMAIN HIGH

" WOULD be useless to attempt
to conceal the fact that the steady
drop in the price of lead, which
has been a feature of the metal
market for the past few months has
now reached a point which causes
81 ave concern throughout the dis
trict 1t is recalled that a short time
before the European war broke out in
1914, as result of the Underwood
tariff law which had just gone into
effect the price of lead dropped to
about 81 cents, and that the opera
tors were seriously considering a sus-
pension of operations and all of them
did curtail their output to a great
extent. A complete shutdown was
averted only by the war demand for
lead At that time the rate of wages
vas $3.50 per day. while now it is
s4.75; powder was about 1871 cents
per pound in carload lots while now
it is about 20 cents; freight rates
were only a little more than half
what they are today; the price of
steel was low as compared with the
wartime price that prevails today;
IN fact, practically everything that
entered into the cost of mining was
at the lowest level The point is
simply this: If in 1914 the mining
companies were unable to make a fair
profit with lead at around 80 cents
when the costs of labor freight and
all material and supplies consumed
were at the lowest level, what must
be their position now when lead is
only cents per pound, while mining
costs, with the exception of wages.

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-03-03

The difficulty in the lead market
seems to he due to the fact that lead
can be laid down in this country from
Europe after paying the tariff and
realize a profit when the market
price is less than cents per pound.
At the same time it does not appear
that much of this foreign lead has
been sold in this country In fact, it
seems to have been the policy of the
American lead producers to steadily
reduce the price in order to shut out
foreign competition. In the mean
time the domestic market for lead
has been and is very weak, simply
because there is very little lead being
consumed Thus while the price has
been driven down. the low price does
not attract buyers and very little

lead a menace to the American mar
ket until a new tariff law can be
made effective, and the home demand
of the metal waiting for industrial
readjustment to become a reality. it
must be conceded that the outlook for
the American lead producers for the
next few months is not the most
flattering Fortunately it is gener-
ally conceded that the next few
months will witness a decided reac-
ton in the business life of this coun-
try. when the miners of the west will

appeal of the old man to star to give

GOOD FOR SECRETARY HOOVER

The declaration of Secretary Herb ert Hoover that the receipts from the seal islands should be turned in to the Alaska territorial treasury to be used for the development of the territory will be gratifying to the people of the North. The federation will carry a great deal of weight, con- ing as it does from a great man whose declarations always carry weight with the American people.
 Of course the seal island receipts should come to Alaska to be used here. The seal islands are Alaskan territory, and the taking of the pro- ceeds from them for the Federal treasury is placing an unusual tax on Alaskan soil and an Alaskan in- dustry. In other sections of the country there is no land or industrial tax collected for the Federal trea- sury. The receipts of the govern ment from them are confined to the tariff, internal revenue and other tax es such as the people of Alaska are required to pay in addition to the tribute that is laid on those parts of the Territory which are set apart in reservations.
 Gov. Riggs called the attention of the authorities at Washington to AL askas claim to these Probilof Island proceeds, and urged in his late re- port that the claim be recognized. It is not strange that Secretary Hoover quickly caught the point. Empire.

HARD SHOES TO FILL

Perhaps their long and pleasant Of ficial connections accounts for the in- timacy, but people usually associate Judge Brown and Ike Hamburger to- gether; we have grown to think of them as a pair. Regardless of polit- tical faith the people of Anchorage are always glad to welcome Judge Fred M. Brown and Court Stenograph- CT like Hamburger to the city, not in an official capacity but for them selves. The other court officials are also welcome and equally efficient but somehow we people of Anchorage feel like we know the judge and Ike more intimately. They have been visiting Anchorage at intervals for the past five years and have grown to be a part and parcel of the city, voluntarily assisting us in many ways.
 Somehow or other one does not as- sociate politice with these two men j; they are so much bigger and follow a broader path than political lines.
 Judge Browns record on the bench is enviable; he has judicially follow. ed the dictates of his conscience and the law but always with that quality of mercy which was not strained. While MT. Mamburger's duties have perhaps been more mechanical, he has instilled a spirit of courtsey and amiability into the office which is proverbial.
 They should have no regrets; they have played mems parts as men; the the regret comes from their legion of friends in the fact that the rules of the game make it necessary to replace them and we all know it will take men, big and broad, to fill the va cencies, caused by the retirement of Judge Brown and Ike Hamburker.- Anchorage Times.

THEORY AND PRACTICE

Bureaucritic opposition immidiately developed when Congress began con- sidering plans for the future admins tration of Alaskan affairs.
 The Curry bill, now before the house, designed to commit to a board of five members great many of the duties now devolving upon a score ot more of Washington bureaus.
 Instantly the objection was raised would cease accustomed authority over the territory were the measure to become law. Bureau chiefs jeau- ously attacked certain provisions which threatened to rob them of priz- ed power
 This opposition was inevitable and to be expected.
 If the Curry bill goes through, there will be no further need for some bureaus and many employees now on the Federal payroll.
 A board in the territory will pass on it's affairs and, sonner or later, will pave the way for complete self government with full local control over every resource and every reven- ue the Northland possesses or con- mands
 A long and hard fight is necessary and must be conducted by Seattle, and chiefly through it's Chamber of Com merce, which long has directed the campaign for improved conditions in the great Northern wonderland.
 Again let the fact be emphasized that Secretary Fall must visit Alaska this year, even if the president does not make the trip.
 If it is possible for them to get away from Washington, the commit tees on territorial affairs in house and senate must be induced to accom- pany the interior department head.
 This congress will do something for Alaska. How much it will do depends in great measure upon the magnitude of the fight Seattle wages-and the success that attends it's effect.-Seat- tie Times.
