Itmight be we'll for the Douglas Island News which feared another Alaskan town might be forgotten like Silka"to glance over the report of the Collector of Customs for 1907 and note there the comparative statements of merchandise re- ceived in Sitka for the years 1905 -07, which is almost as safe a standard by which to remember a town as is the fact that the Capital is or is not located in it. The Collectors report shows merchandise received in Sitka in 1906 to be 26 percent greater than in 1905, and that in 1907 to be 81 percent increase over 1905. It isalso interesting to note that in 1906merchandise received into Douglas fell off more than l per- cent, and in 1867 decreased near ly 4 percent from 1905.
