TAKES HARDY MEN
Geological Survey in Alaska Is Sc
we're Strain.

Washington, Dec 23.-The United States
geological survey has for several years
been actively engaged in exploring ard
mapping the vast territory of Alaska
and in accommodating and studying its
varied mineral resources. The plans car
ried out during the last season are part of
general scheme for a systematic in
vestigation of Alaska's mineral wealth.
So rapid is the development of this treas
ure land. however. that it is impossible
for the Alaska division of the survey
owing to its limited appropriation, to
keep pace with the latest discoveries and
enterprises.
Seven survey parties spent the summer
of 1903 in the Alaskan field. There they
carried on work of diversified character,
varying from a hasty reconnaissance in
the tundra belt of the Arctic slope Of
the Seward Peninsula to a close and de-
tailed examination of the geology and ore
of the parties were engaged in topo-
graphic work. five in geologic. Whatever
may be the character OF these investiga-
tons each carries with II its own pc
culiar interests, as well as it's special
drawbacks and tests of endurance All
require men who are willing to dispense
with creature comforts and to accent
with fortitude hardships that are little
realized by those who read the Official
reports of the expeditions.

SHOWS RAPID GAIN
Commerce Between United States and
Canada Is Growing.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Commerce be-
tween Canada and the United States
shows a rapid gain both in the figures of
the year about to end and in those of the
decennisl period which ends with the pres
ent year. The years commerce with Cam
ada, as shown by the figures of the de-
pzrtment of commerce and labor through
its bureau of statictics. will aggregate
nearly 200 million dollars, against less
than 100 millions in 1888. The increase oc-
ours both in imports into the United
States from Canada and exports from the
United States to Canada. Our imports
from Canada, which in 1893 amounted to
only "a million dollars. will in the present
year reach about So millions. Our exports
to Canada. which in 1893 were 81 million
dollars will in 1903 aggregate about 1870
millions. Our total commerce with Can
ada has thus grown from 81 millions in
1893 TO approximately 1s5 millions in 1903
The total commerce of the United States
in the calendar year 1898 was 1852 million
dollars. and in 1908 will aggregate about
2,460 millions. Thus the total commerce
of the United States from 1888 to 1903 has
increased about 80 per cent, while its
commerce with Canada has more than
doubled.
On the import side the increase in our
purchases from Canada has been much
more rapid proportionately than from
other parts of the world. The total i'm
ports Of the United States in 1888 were
s176, 100000, and in the calendar year 1903
will aggregate about 1000 ooo. 900. an in
crease of about 80 per cent while the i'm
ports into the United States from Canada
meantime show an increase of about 50
per cent. The wtotal exports from the
United States which in 1898 were ss76.
600 900, will in 1908 approximate s1.46o,oO0, Ooo
an increase of Sc per cent. while in our
exports to Canada the incre ase itobuas
exports to Canada is about 125 per cent.
The above fifures are for the calendar
years in all cases, and are necessary es-
Inmates so far as they relate to the month
of December 1905

HOGS FIVE HIGHER
With Light Receipts Sellers
Had Their Way
TOP PRICE WAS S4.45
Unusual Conditions Prevail in
Western Hog Markets.

With very light receipts the hog mar
ket was a strong nickel higher yesterday.
The condition Of the Western hog mar
kets at this time is extraordinary to say
the least. The bulk of sales in both Kan
sas City and Chicago yesterday were "a. 40
and a.55 and good hogs sold quickly on
this market for the latter figure People
who have kept run of the live stock bust
ness in this section know that only a few
years ago plenty of hogs could be bought
on the streets OF this city at so cents to 50
cents under Kansas City prices and that
even after the opening of the packing
houses here hogs sold at so cents to 80
cents under Kansas City. The margin
has been gradually wiped out until finally
no shipper could buy hogs on this mar
ket 10 ship to the Missouri river markets
Armour, lone remained to buy hogs and
ship direct to his Kansas City house. Re
Gently Mr. Armour has retired, and now
the prices here are getting mighty near
to those OF Kansas City. Counting the
shrinkage in the shipping, to say moth
ing of the railroad freights and the mar
ket kere for the past two weeks has been
within about ~ cents Of Kansas City
The top sales in Kansas City yesterday
were $3.50 and here $4.45. Good hogs here
sssere carried over at the close with the
TOP price bid on them. 1t was very plain
" evident that the buyers for the pack
ing houses Were willing to pay a little
more money for them, and they probably
hesftated because they did not want to
ka a hpcanSa lie
rule here for the packers TO take all the
hogs that arrive during the night at the
previous days prices. The Wichita pack
ers are certainly paying good prices for
hogs, and if Dold and Cudahy keep up
their present pace there ought to be a
considerable increase in receipts after
the holidays. The buyers for the pack
ing houses here have shown good pudg-
ment in their buying, but there has been
one ground for complaint. Some of the
commission men have complained that
not enough difference in long and short
shipments have been MADE. Recently the
buyers are making more difference than
formerly. Hogs begin to shrink from the
time they are moved from the feed lots,
and any packer knows II at he gets more
net pounds from the hogs that are ship
ped one hundred and fifty miles than
those loaded at some station twenty-five
or thirty miles from the city, and this
being true the man who makes the long
shipments ought to get the most for his
hogs. difference is made on wagon de-
fveries, but not anyways near the same
difference is made in the car hogs.

cause two or three prominent commission
houses were free sellers at the same time,
the impression was created that he was

Provisions ruled streng on good de-
mand from commission houses and local
