ON UP GRADE
Alaskan Trade Continues To
 Grow

W. E.. Clark, the Washington city eorrespondent of the Seattle Post-Intel- Hgeacer unde, date of July = says:
 "The value of the Alaska trade passed S2O,OOO, 900 in the fiscal year l9O4-a new record in commerce for the territory. The official figures for June are waning, and it will be i'm possible to give anything better than a close estimate until next month. The record for the eleven months of the fiscal period. however, is complete, and in addition to this we have the June report of HarbOrmaster Jensen, of Seattle showing the trade between Seattle and Alaska in the last month of the period under discussion.
 ''It is a pretty close estimate, prob ably, to say that the total domestic commerce of Alaska for the year closed June 30 amounted to S2O, $50, ,9O5. Last years actual record was Sl9, ,454: 724, and the improvement this year is all the more worthy of comment from the fact that the salmon pack was much smaller than last season, and the shipments of fish from Alaska con- seQuently smaller than iu the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903.
 "These figures refer to the domestic ,,r,rDares ODIy--that is tO the ship ments passing between the United States and Alaska in both directions; and they do not, of course, include the foreign commerce of the territory, which, although small, is growing all the time. The figures do not include, either, the large shipments of gold and silver, but refer to merchandise alone.
 s'The estimate of domestic merchan- disc shipped from the United States 10 Alaska in the fiscal year just closed is sIO. .53l. .4gT, and of merchandise shipped from Alaska to the United States, slJ,- 2O9, los. It is seen, therefore, that the balance of trade is slightly tn favor of tse United States; that is, Alaska shipped out less than she received. Last year the condition were reverse, bat the short salmon pack of 1903 more than accounts for the change.
 This does rot include the shipments of gold from Alaska"

ShagwRyans To Wed

Ac- to cards that have been re- ceived in the city, George Lemcke, form rly of the Alaska Transfer Con, pauy, and Miss Lillian Patterson, sister of Mrs. Fred McCaughcy, former ly of this city, were to have been married in Seattle yesterday. It has also been learded that Dr. J. ?. TruaX, of the United States army, and Miss Ferguson, who taught in the public schools of Skagway last year, will be married next week.

Morshln of Animals.

The figures of the gods in ancient Egypt were represented on the monu, ments for ages in animal form, The organization of the local population ran on totem lines. Each city had different beast gods. In the royal genealogies beasts are named as ancestors, show, ing that the early Egyptians actually considered themselves descendants of animals. The primitive element in the early Greek religion has been preserv. ed in the sacred chapters" fragments of which have been given us by He, rOdotus, Pausanias and others, proving that the oldest images of the Grecian gods were represented in animal form and that the different royal houses claimed descent from animals, as do the savages of America and Australia. MT, J, McLennan in his papers on '"rhe Worship of Plants and Animals" calls our attention to many evidences that the early Romans as well as the Greeks wOrshiDed tOtemS.
