NEW ADDING MACHINERY.
First National Bank PosseSSor of
Unique Counter.

The First National bank has on
Exhibition an adding machine
which for mechanism and accuracy
is far ahead of anything ever
shown in this western country
This little machine is about the
size of a typewriter and works
with finger keys on the order of a
typewriting machine, except it is
used only for adding column of
figures
For instance you have a column
of figures you wish to foot up, you
simply strike the keys represent
ing the figures in the line. Then
you turn the crank, strike the keys
for the figures in the next line and
SO on until you have the column
finished, turn the crank, remove
the slip of paper on which the
column is written and the total is
carried out in full.
The machine is a Burroughs
Registering Accountant" made by
the American Arithmometer COM
pany of st. Louis, Mo-, and cost
$375.00.
The machine will count up to
9,999, ,999 and it is impossible for
it to make a mistake if you strike
the proper key.
Mr.. 10y, cashier of the bank,
stated that their business had in
creased to such an extent that it
required the service of another
man, and this machine would fill
the place of one man, besides be-
ing more rapid and correct at add
ing.
Any one desiring to see the
machine work can do so by stop
ping into the bank during hours" +"

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA.
Distance from Seattle to Its Various
Commercial Centers-AgricuI-
tural Possibilities, Etc

The relative distance between the
various cities of Alaska and the west
ern ports of the United States can
scarcely be realized without a care
full study of the map. From Seattle
to the southernmost point of that
portion of Alaska which stretches
enthusiastically along the west
ern coast of North America the dis
lance is about $50 miles; from Seat
tie to Skaguay, located in the north
ern portion of the narrow strip which
stretches southwardly along the
coast from the main body of Alaska,
and from which place a railway line
passes northwardly over the noun
tains into British Columbia to the
navigable waters of the Yukon river,
the distance is 1000 miles; from
Skaguay by rail to White Horse; at
the head of navigation on the Yukon,
the distance is Ill miles; and from
White Horse by steamer to Circle
City, the center of mining operations
on the Yukon in Alaska, 7S7 miles,
making the total distance from Seat
tie to Circle City 1888 miles.
The distance from Seattle to Una
laska by the most direct line is 1856
miles, and from Unalaska to Nome
about 500 miles, making the total
distance from Seattle to Nome by
the most direct line 2,4S6 miles. From
Nome across country to the gold
fields of the Selwik river, which lie
directly upon the arctic circle, the
distance is about 300 miles, and other
gold fields lie about $50 miles still
farther north on the Ikpikung river,
and only about $50 miles from Point
Barrow at the extreme north Of our
Alaskan possessions.
| Thus the distance from Seattle to
the nearest point in Alaska is less
than that from New York to Cincin-
natl, and from Seattle to the most
distant point in Alaska about the
same as from New York to San Fran
cisco. The length of time required
for trip by comfortable steamer
from Seattle to the nearest point in
tie to the Yukon gold fields by ocean
steamer, rail and well-equipped river
steamer, about six days; while to
Nome the time required for the voy-
age by steamer is about twice as
great.
Until within a comparatively re-
cent period the agricultural posi-
bilities of Alaska have been consid-
cred of but slight Importance. AS
the country was explored, however,
and it's conditions of climate and soil
studied, it's natural products OBJ
served, and experiments made with

various classes of agricultural pro.
auctions, it became apparent that
the agricultural possibilities of the
country, and especially of the south
and southeast, where the climate is
modified by the Japan current, were
of considerable Importance in view of
the practicability of furnishing at
least a part of the food supply of
the population which the varied re-
sources of Alaska seem likely to sus-
tain and make permanent. These OBJ
servations and experiments lead
those who have participated in them
to the belief that vegetables in great
variety can be produced all along the
southern coast and in the valley of
the Yukon, and by some the POSSIBLE
ity of the successful production of
wheat and oats is strongly support
ed. The grasses for the support of
cattle are abundant, and the expert
ments with live stock thus far justi-
fly the belief that this feature of the
food requirements OF Alaska may be
furnished by the development of
stock farms in the southern sections.
In the north vast areas are covered
with a moss similar to that upon
which the reindeer thrives in other
parts of the arctic regions, and in
view of this fact the introduction of
reindeer from Siberia was begun a
few years since and has proved ex-
tremely successful, about 5000 now
being distributed through northwest
Alaska, and the experiment has ad
vanced sufficiently to justify the con-
fident belief that the reindeer will
within few years prove an impOr-
tant feature in furnishing both the
transportation and food supply of
northern and northwestern Alaska.
The timber supplies of Alaska, es-
pecially those of the extreme south
have as yet been little developed or
utilized, owing to the fact that the
public lands have not been surveyed
or passed from the ownership of the
government, and that those who at
tempt to utilize the timber upon gov
eminent lands do SO at the risk of
severe punishment under the laws re-
1ating to the protection of timber
upon them. While a large portion of
the timber of Alaska will only be of
value for local consumption, consid-
east are covered with valuable tim
Der, which will contribute materially
to the lumber supply of the United
States when it becomes available
through the opening of these lands
and their transfer to private owner
ship.
