C. R. M. T. & D. Go.

The Copper River Mining, Trad ing and Development Co.,, organized for the purpose of transacting busi- ness in Alaska, have considerable possessions through this section. They own the Copper Center town site and number of miniag prop critics, they are also conducting sev- eral road houses and trading posts, and are ever ready to enter into any new enterprise to suit the time and conditions. The latest addi- ton to their many enterprises is the opening of real estate depart ment at Valdez, notice of which may be found in a half page adver- tisement in this paper.
 A. Holman, the Alaska manager for the company, has an office on Broadway, alGez, and R. Blk, the secretary and treasurer, has an of- fee at Copper Center, where he at tends to affairs in the interior.
 Both these gentlemen came with the rush of '3S and have remained ever since. They are thoroughly acquainted with all sections of the Copper River valley and adjacent country, and are fully competent to give information on its many conditions and possibilities.
 The book published by the com pany contains useful information together with several maps of this part of Alaska.

Now that the city council is be- coming an active body, and looking after the welfare of the town, one of the very first evils that should be looked into, is the way in which the beach is becoming strewn with refuse of all kinds and extending up to the buildings.
 A line should be established near the low water mark beyond which all refuse matter should be thrown.
 If any member of the council will take a walk on one of the wharves and look over the beach, he will see the advisability ot in- troducing measure to that effect The view ut the present is moi pleasing, neither is the condition conducive to good health.

Alaska Beats Hawaii.

The comparative values of Alaska and Hawaii to the United States from commercial pfint of view, are shown in the latest summary of commerce and finance published by the treasury department. Among public men, usually we'll informed, not one in ten probably would hesitate to say off-hand that Hawaii is commercially much more valuable to this country than Alaska.
 This popular belief, however, is not borne out by the official figures. Although q great part of our northern territory has been closed to navigation for seven months, yet the total commerce of Alaska for the eight months ending on Feb. 2S last, was only about 5 per cent. less than that of Hawaii, which is open to navigation every day in the year.
 For the eight months in question which were the first two-thirds of the currart fiscal year-the com merce of Alaska amounted to $19, 361 ,494; and that of Hawaii to $20, 223,O22. Naturally, Hawaii was far in the lead in February com- merce, for that month is about the dullest of the whole year for Alaska. This fact, however, makes the comparison for the whole period of eight months (including Feb ruary) all the more remarkable.
 For the first two-thirds of the currant fiscal period the value of goods shipped from Hawaii was $10,SSS,9OO. The value of goods shipped from Alaska during the same period was $15,174.00O. This advantage in favor of the northern territory in outgoing commerce did not obtain, however, in the incom- ing shipments. Hawaii's inbound commerce during the eight months in question amounted to $9 1884, ,122, while Alaska received only $4,1S7, 494, TEis record does not include the spring season, when the heaviest cargoes are sent to Alaska; otherwise the comparison would probably not be in favor of Hawaii.

Tour of Investigation.

Wilfred H. Osgood of the United States Department of Agriculture is on his way to Alaska, where he will investigat this summer the animal and plant life of the country in reference to its geographical distribution.
 This branch of the work of the department is devoted to great extent in the United States to a study of the various forms of insect pests that destroy trees and growing crops. In Alaska however, it is more comprehensive, and includes the mapping of the country with reference to locating the habitat oi the various species of forest trees and vegetation generally, while in- cluded with the studies of animal life are the framing of game laws and the collection of specimens fol the National Museum.
