For if individuals should begin recklessly to employ the vast purchasing power now at their disposal, while the scarcity of consumer goods con- tinues to prevail, they will inevitably send prices sky- rocketing and consequently dilute the real value of the funds they have set aside.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 30 from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 28, 1924 Lower rates for consumers of electricity than those charged during the previous two years, had been put into effect by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company. The lower rates were to apply not only to Juneau consumers, but to all other communities and customers on Gastineau Channel. The Juneau Cigar Store had changed hands, John Scanlon taking | over the business. The establishment was to be known as the Variety Store. Miss Maud Lilejestrand, who had been visiting her sister, Mrs. Oliver Olson for about a week, was to leave on the Admiral Rogers for | her home in Ketchikan. From the Arctic Slope via Nome had come to Gov. Scott C. Bone what was Alaska’s final contribution to the Harding Memorial Fund. This was the contribution from white residents of the communities of Wainwright and Point Barrow, nineteen in number, each of whom donated $1 to the fund. A most enjoyable card and dancing party, with refreshments adding to the touch of entertainment, was given the previous night in Moose Hall to all resident members of Gastineau Channel by the Mooseheart Legion in observance of Mooseheart Day. About 100 persons attended and H. L. Faulkner and Frank Aldrich were speakers for the occasion. J. J. Delahide, instructor of First Aid in mine rescue work, arrived on the Northwestern from the Westward where he had been for the previous season. Weather report: High, 39; low, 34; cloudy.
