SIGNAL CORPS IN COLD ALASKA | Uncle Sum's Men Keep Faith ful Watch Over Frozen Areas Valdoz, Alaska, March 10, (By Mail). —Up among deep snows and fierce gales, in some of the most lonely spots in the world in winter time. where the mercury sometimes is from 50 to 86 degrees below zero, the men of Uncle Sam's Signal Corps keep their faithful vigil. In lonely hamlets on the top of solitary mountains, (heir cabins buried in snowdrifts, these men in khaki watch in the white silences over the slender wires of communi cation reaching from Valdez to the interior. and thence to the furthest confines of the territory, ending above Nome in the great white wastes of the sub-Arctic. From Maine, New York, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska and other states, recruits come to the service. There has not yet been the first instance recorded of a man failing to perform the task allotted to him. Keep 1" Stations I Seventeen stations are maintain ed by the corps out of Valdez, each completely outfitted. The Pacific- Alaska cable after leaving Seattle first reaches the coast at Yuldez. Here messages are transferred from the cable and sent out over the land lines. To reach his station, or post of duty, many of the Signal Corps men have to walk hundreds of miles. Then when the winter blasts hurl out over the white wastes, begins the Signal Corps mah's vigil. Cop per wires that link the great terri tory together and carry the news of the world, pass from Valdez through deep forests, tundra and morass, over lofty hills and through beauti ful prairies to Fairbanks, down the Tanana river to Fort Gibbons, down the Yukon to St. Michael and thence to Nome. / Break Daily Trails Daily trails must be broken to other stations, lines repaired, trees removed from the vicinity of the wires. The Signal Corps man must risk his life time and again for the careless or unfortunate travelers. Some of the deeds have come to light. Among them was a rescue of 1908 when the Delta district be jtween Valdez and Fairbanks was j visited by one of the worst blizzards in the history of the country. For seventeen days the mercury stood at 54 below, and gales hurled continu ously the fine snow in blinding mass es through the air. One could scarcely face the elements. A party of prospectors and miners on its way from Valdez to Fairbanks was caiiglit in the. storm. Unable to reach a road house, the travelers | sought shelter in the lee of some | timber. On the morning of the sec ond day one man succeeded in reaching the cabin of a Signal Corps man. With the soldier he returned to the stranded party. Several men were frozen to death. Seven trips to and from his station the soldier made, rescuing all the survivors, in cluding two women. Later several ! of the men rescued died of exposure, • and when the summer sun pierced 1 the drifts of the trail, thirteen bodies ; I were found. Wedding Rings Are In Big Demand Now New York Jewelers report • large orders for welding rings from all over the country, presum- | ably to supply the market for June brides. One manufacturer declared the demand for plain gold bands far • exceeded that for carved rings. He I said his company sells 2,000 rings | a day and of these only 75 or 100 | were of the carved variety. All branches of the jewelry trade arc working to capacity with the demand from retailers greatly in I excess of the facilities to turn out j the work. From all sections of the | country, it is reported, retailers are | calling for the better grade of jew- I elry with cheap and shoddy mer chandise receiving little attention, j Manufacturers report that in those j sections where army camps have I been located, there has been a de- I cided falling off in trade owing to the demobilization of the troops. I The Lenten season was a compara- | tively dull one for the jewelry trade. PRISONERS TO HAVE SHARE OK EARNINGS Nashville, Tennessee—Contracts for prison labor, which are understood to be the highest priced and most satisfactory ever ipade in the United States, have been closed by Lewis Pope, manager of the board of ad ministration of Tennessee. Accord ing t° the new agreement, which was based on a piece price basis, Ihe State revenue from this source will be increased approximately 100 per cent. The contracts cover pernas of from four to six years. It is provided that both fnen and women shall be entirely in the cus tody of the State and that they shall participate in their earnings to the extent of 3.1 1-3 per cent over the ac tual cost of maintenance, which will amount to about 75 cents a day, such earnings being paid either to the pris oners or to their dependents. The corporations entering into these contracts represent the textile hosiery, harness and foundry indus tries. PRICES DURING THE CIVIL WAR Many Points of Similarity Is Found With the World Conflict r j Tlio I'nited States Department of 1 1 1.<abor, through the Information and t! Education Service, is issuing the re sults of a study of prices during the I war and readjustment period made | by the Division of Public Works and j''onstruction Development. Discuss ing the Civil War period as a prece dent for war prices, the report says: "A comparison of the course of ' prices during the Civil War and the present war shows many points of j similarity during the two war per . iods. The course of prices during j the present period of readjustment and the corresponding period fol | lowing the Civil War show more j points of difference than of simi larity. "During both wars the wholesale prices of commodities in general rose steadily through the war per iod. The rise during the Civil War period, taking the year 1860 as the base, runs up to somewhat higher [ level than the rise during the pres ent war. In both wars, building materials rose in price, but they did not at either time reach levels as high as the price levels of other ; commodities. 1 "At the beginning of the year 1865, the end of the Civil War be ing in sight, wholesale prices broke suddenly and violently. During the lirst six months of the year, prices in general fell off 2 7 per cent, from the high level of January. How ever, the break in wholesale prices, though unprecedented in violence and accompanied by the unsettling influence of the end of the great war, produced on business crisis oi depression. Through the latter halt of 1865 prices recovered from the low point until in January, 1866, they stood just 16 per cent, below the level of January, 1865. From the beginning of 1866 prices dropped slowly downward. They did not reach the pre-war level until the year 1878. As is well known, during that period of intlatod currency, gold was at a premium. However, commodity prices remained above the prices of gold up to and includ ing the year 1877. ' "Building materials declined in price along with other commodities during the first half of the year 1865. However, the fall was less than in the case of other commodities. Whereas commodities in general dropped 27 per cent., building ma terials dropped only 14 per cent. The recovery during the second half of the year was more marked, prices of building materials returning to ! the level of the last quarter of the j level for period of a year before the year 1864, and remaining at that | decline set in. The index figure for | the building materials group re | mained higher than that for all commodities up to and including the j year 1874. i "The currency was on a distinctly [unsound basis in the Civil War re i construction period. The sharp flue [ tuations in prices gave rise to much j speculation and the opportunities for development of the resources of the country, such as unused land, rivers land harbors, building of railroads, led tQ over-expansion of business re sulting in the Financial Panic of 11873. This panic was not accom panied by any sharp decline in prices. j "As was stated above, it was thir i teen years after the Civil Wur be- I fore prices returned to the pre-war level. The principal cause of the return to the pre-war level was the fact that there was such abundant [ opportunity for the development of i new and more eoonomic methods of | production in the shape of new | forms of machinery and new kinds of business organizations. These opportunities we do not have at the present day in any measure com parable with the previous period." •'SHIP BY TRUCK" IS THE NEW SLOGAN Maeon, Georgia Efforts to in crease river-barge traffic and to co ordinate river and rail routes, for the relief of the steam carriers, which the war proved to be inadequately developed as a national entity, are being closely nccompanled by further efforts to relieve the rails through the more general use of the gasoline motor truck for comparatively short hauls. Several motor truck routes have been established, the most not able of them being from middle west ern manufacturing centers to the Atlantic shipping points. "The success of the routes has led to the Inauguration of a national "Ship by Truck" movement, which while backed by the truck makers, nevertheless has an obvious und im portant bearing on the future trans portation problem of the United States.
