Gold on the Hoof!

a conversation overheard in a
Libby meat market this week was
an eye-opener to city Teller. A
farm woman was asking about her
chances to sell a 350-lb. hog. She
was told to bring in the hog as there
would be ready market for it and
that it ought to bring 13c pound.
Figure it out: A 350-lb. hog at l3c
would bring the farmer $3.50. Ye
gods and little fishes! We can re-
member the day, back in Iowa,
when we used to buy COW for
less than that and if hog brought
from So to $40 it was considered a
good price.

NEW LOW RATE SET IN MINE
 DEATHS IN Al
Only One Person Killed in Operations of All Types
 Department Says

Only one fatality occurred in connection with mining operations of all types in Alaska during the year l94l according to an an- nouncement made today by the Territorial Department of Mines.
 This is by far the lowest fatal ity record yet achieved by the min- ing industry of the Territory. The lowest previous record was made in 1889 when four men were killed at operating mines. The average number of mine fatalities during the past decade has been eight per year and for the 20-year period prior to that the average was IA
 The record made in 194l has added significance because of the fact that the number of men en- gagged in mining during that year was substantially greater than dur ing any year prior to 1887 and was about equal to the average num- Der since that time.
 The one fatality of l94l occurred at the Lucky Shot mine in the Will low Creek gold-lode mining district. No fatality occurred during the year at the Alaska Juneau mine where approximately one-half of the total lode miners of the Ter ritory are employed. There were no fatalities either among the placer mining or coal-mining operations,
 The Department of Mines is now making a study of the non-fatal accidents which occurred during the past year, the results of which will be announced upon comple- ton.

 on BatfIefronfs

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Speak- ing of the Nations determination to pay whatever price it must to pre- serve our way of life,' President Roosevelt today called for war budget of fifty-six billion dollars for the next fiscal year.
 Nine billion dollars in new taxes on top of all existing taxes and un- precedented borrowing will send the Federal debt to above one hundred ten billion dollars.
 President Roosevelt said in his annual budget message to Congress: This war budget, its magnitude and composition, depend on events on the battlefronts of the world.
 Nothing short of the maximum can suffice.
 T cannot predict the ultimate cost because I cannot predict the chang ing fortunes of war. I can only say that we are determined to pay whatever price we must to preserve our way of life"
 The President added at press conference today that this is the biggest budget in the history of world governments. Estimates indi- cated that it nearly doubled Ger many's annual war expenditures. It called, the President said, to step up the rate of war spending from

FOR Asks War Budget or Fifty Six Billion
INCREASED SHIPPING RATES TO RAISE FOOD
 COSTS ONLY SLIGHTLY

Under the authority of the United States Maritime Commission, the watchdog of rates charged for sea- going commerce, the Alaska Steam ship Company was last night auth orized to increase all freight and passenger rates by AS per cent, it was announced here today.
 Although no reason for the in- crease was given in the instructions received here, added insurance costs due to war risks plus other pros poets of advancing operational costs, were believed to have prompted the maritime commission in authorizing the raise. It was apointed out that during the first World War, freight and passenger rates on the Atlantic increased some 500 per cent.
 The tipping of rates will mean substantial increases in passage fares, it was pointed out by steam ship officials, but so far as increas- ing the living costs in Juneau, tEe increased freight rates will add not more than three per cent to food prices. grocerymen and local food wholesalers figured.
 The raise will mean that freight rates on general merchandise will go up from $9.80 per ton to $l4.21 per ton. No raise was announced, however, in wharfage or terminal charges.
 On that basis, grocerymen figured. grocery bill which now averages $50 per month, will increase only $50 per month, so far as the con- sumner is concerned.
 Pointing out that the increase is not nearly as drastic as it sounds, the grocerymen said, for example, that on case of milk the freight rate is now 26 cents, so the increase will add but F cents to the cost of the case, plus the present nine-cent per case wharfage, or an increase of 2l cents per case in total cost. On the same basis, the increase will mean an increase of only cent dozen on eggs, cent pound on cheese, three-quarters of cent on a pound of butter, and so on.
 What Increase Means
 This increase is on freight rate only, not on wharfage. On case of milk the freight rate is 26 cents plus 45 per cent increase or l2 cents plus wharfage cents or total of 47 cents. The increase is on the 26 cents only
