Of the salmon industry, a great deal
is said. There can be no doubt that
this industry is one of great impoi lance,
for from figures given it is seen that
the Alaskan output in the last year
marketed at $2.977.019. The red
salmon seems to far outnumber all 9th.
ers, although the pink and silver
salmon are found in large numbers.
Comparatively few king salmon were
taken last year. To pack these salmon
for shipment. over 5000 laborers are
employed, and, strange to say, the most
OF them are Chinese. 1t has been
found almost impossible to educate the
native Alaskan Indian to American
canning methods, and this, together
with the fact that Chinese labor is ex-
ceedingly cheap, may account, in a
measure, for the large number of Chi
nese in the canneries. This salmon
trade during the past year was of suffi-
cient proportions to keep in constant
use, during the season, SO steamers, in
addition to the 7l2 lighters and small
boats.
In the opinion of the governor.
Alaska should be well supplied with
inspectors, the present force of two be-
ing decidedly inadequate.

In the matter Of wagon roads, rail.

As soon as the right Of way bill had
passed. numbers OF filings were made,
and several roads OF various character
are now in progress Of construction.
At Unga, Berner'e bay and Douglass
island there are railways In operation,
although solely for nee In connection
with the mines. The Pacific & Arctic
Railway 8 Navigation Company has
probably made more progress than any
Of the other large companies. having
completed Ii miles Of road over almost
impossible country. Moreover, 20
much Of the road as IL completed is
constructed Of the best material, by the
best Of workmen. and is in every way
frst-class. Money has not been spared,
and as result the road stands without
a peer. 1t might be mentioned, in this
connection. that, owing to the limita.
tions Of the timber laws, it was found
best to import great deal of timber.
and nearly all the timber and lumber
used in building Dyea and Skagway,
their railroads and mills, was shipped
from Pugest sound.
The governor expresses the hope that
congress, during the short session. will
pass upon code Of civil procedure for
the district of Alaska.

Agricultural Possibilities.

As an agricultural country, Alaska lie
still in it's infancy. little being known
of it's possibilities. Enough can be
learned. however, from experiments
made in the past year. to satisfy those
interested that such crops as potatoes,
cabbage, beets, peas and other market
vegetables can. with proper attention
and care, be raised in parts of the coun-
try without difficulty. But grass, be-
yond everything else, promises to be
the agricultural wealth of Alaska.
This is but little appreciated at present.
The native grasses are nutritious. and
grow luxuriantly. Timothy, clover and
other cultivated varieties do we'll, one
acre of ground in grass there, for pas
turgage, being worth several acres in q
drier climate. There are many varie-
ties of native berries, such as currants.
huckleberries, etc., but berries from
the States, as rule, do well under cul-
tivation.
"Of stockraising." says the report,
"but little can be said. Reindeer will
soon be reared in vast herds. In the
near future we expect to have the mail
transported by reindeer all over North.
ern Alaska during the winter, and at
much less cost than at present."
The Governors Recommendation.
Before closing the report, a nurlber
of recommendations are made. Among
them ia the suggestion that Japonsky
island be built up as a naval station.
Attention is also called to the fact that
at Kadiak, Unga. st. Michaels. Circle
City and Dyea there is great lack OF
proper courtrooms and jails. as we'll as
at Sitka, where the buildings are in
miserable condition.
The appropriation for Alaskan
schools has. been found quite INSULT.
cient, being but $50. 900 per year. An
appropriation of twice that size could
easily be utilized. to good advantage.
A further recommendation ia made
to the effect that lighthouses and other
beacons be placed at conspicuous points
along the coast, as the commerce has
greatly multiplied Of late and demands
such protection.
Governor Brady closes his report
with an appeal to the Republican party
to live up to it's pledge and extend to
Alaska the privilege of sending dele
gate to the national congress.
