REPUBLICAN CHANCES.
Campaign Will Be the Closest
in Many Years.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. l.
Chairman Joseph Babcock, of the re-
publican congressional committee, ex-
presses the opinion that the present is
the closest congressional campaign he
has experienced since 1898.
What are the conditions which
make the congressional campa gn
closer this year than it has been since
1882" Mr. Babcock was asked.
They differ in localities he re-
sponded In some the conditions re-
suit from the character of the national
campaign. In others the conditions are
almost entirely local. Then, in some
cases. the difficulty is over, the kind
Of men nominated for congress. In
Nebraska, where there are six members
of the house to fight for, the demo-
Gratis have abandoned the national
campaign. They have fused with the
populists on the legislative and con-
gressional tickets, but not on presi-
Dental electors. Nearly all congress
sional districts in the state are close.
We redeemed four of those districts
two years ago. but they have been go
ing one way or the other by a very
narrow margin, not by 200 or 800 or
400, but in some instances by II or Is
Or 20 votes. Now the congressional
committee has to go in there without
the usual support from the national
committee.
There is not much interest in cam
paign literature" said Mr.. BabcOck.
We are sending out speeches on the
tariff and some matter relating to the
Panama canal; also a few democratic
speeches. like that of Bourke Cock

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Sept l.
Some unusually interesting details of
the Alaska trade appear in the latest
monthly summary. published by the
department of commerce. Not only
was the fiscal year which closed June
80 the biggest year in the Alaska trade.
but some of the goods shipped to the
territory were of a kind almost UNI
known in Alaska a few years ago. The
list gives some idea of the remarkable
development of the northern country.
one of the most significant things in
the record of the years commerce is
that at least one moving machine was
shipped to Alaska, for this item APP
pears in the official records: Mowers
and parts of, $65" Altogether, agricul-
tural machines and implements to the
value of 1924 were shipped to the ter
ritory during the year. Another sig
nificant item in the list of shipments
to Alaska is Nursery stock, $4o5." The
fact is, the people of Southeastern
Alaska have learned that fruits can be
raised in the region south of Skag-
way. and it is probable that orchards
will not be an unusual sight in that
part of the territory in a few years.
Apples have already been raised at
Wrangel
Another sign of the development in
the far north was the shipment during
the last year of Cars for steam rail-
ways. $19,S0S." and of Rails for rail-
ways, $1O7.395." Bicycles to the value
of 1861 We're also shipped north.
Among the notable increases in
northbound shipments during the last
fiscal year. as compared with the ship
ments of the fiscal year 1903, are the
following: Wheat flour, increased from
$132,473 to $175,643; drugs, chemicals
and medicines, from $124,9O7 to s137,-
5S3: cotton goods, from $1SS,SS2 to
$253,969; manufactures of leather, from
$106501 to $147,057; mineral oils. from
s159,74S to $237,343; vegetable oils,
from $6337 to $11,367; paper, from
1924 to $33S73 provisions. from
$969773 to $l.165,271; malt liquors.
from $103.119 to s125.953; distilled
spirits. from $4,000 to $254,352; wines
from S360.357 to $41I.S16: manufac-
lures of tin. from $42O,316 to S61S,465;
