Valdez Electric Company FREIGHT MOVING INTO INTERIOR McIntosh Will Send Out Another Out fit Next Saturday Morning With Freight for Different Points. . Bob McIntosh, the freighter, sent out twelve neaa of horses yesterday morning with big ioads consigned to many different points. The teams will travel together as far as possible on the government road before sep arating in order that they can take advantage of the broken road. The miners are beginning to send out by horse teams their outfits in preference to buying dog teams and going to other expense in getting their supplies into the new camps. The roadhouses along the road are also stocking up heavily in anticipa tion of the heavy travel which is sure to result from the work of the miners in the Nelchina and Chisana camps. Among tnose wnose outnts went out yesterday morning were Rochill and Johnson, bound for the Nelchi na. Others going to the Nelchina were Jos. Nicklsou and Geo. Chrisk. John Paulson left for the head of the Copper river, where he will pros pect, and the Big Sweede for the Shushanna. The roadhouses for which supplies were taken were Wortmans, The Drop, Ernestine, Copper Center and Gulkana. Mr. McIntosh states that he has received sufficient orders al ready to warrant sending out more horses next Saturday morning. For Sale.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 20.—“The high cost of living can be summed up in a few words,” said S. S. Mar vin, of Philadelphia, president of the National Biscuit company, who Is here in connection with a campaign to raise $300,000 for the Western The ological seminary. "When we were boys our mothers used to give us a bowl of milk for supper, and we were the better off for that plain but wholesome diet. There would be no high cost of liv ing to speak of if people would eat mush and milk nowadays. But they won't. Yet I can see no better men physically or mentally than those we reared in the bygone days. "Then the women went to the mar kets with their baskets on their arms. They did not call up the grocer or the butcher on the telephone to deliv er a five-cent loaf of bread or a soup bone. The grocer and butcher must meet his expenses. People ask to be served, and they must pay for it.” HUERTA WILL TALK TO SOLONS i MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2U —1'rovis- j ional President Huerta has announ-! ced that he will deliver his message | to the newly convened congress to day and that the message will deal with the strained relations between the United States and the Mexican republic. The message will also re view the work of the Huerta admin istration.
