Alaska Trade Needed.


advice to Portland in the following
editorial. One naturally wonders
why the city of Portland did not
dozen years ago possess itself Of the
trade of the far north, here is the ar
ticle in question:
Another large grain and milling
enterprise Is announced for Portland.
In connection with the project, 1t Is
announced that a new line of steam
ers will be placed on the run be-
tween Portland and California ports.
Since California has become to such
large extent dependent on Oregon
and Washington for grain and flour
supplies, there has been an immense
increase in the shipping business be-
tween Portland and the California
ports. This increase will continue
from year to year and, with the in
creasing lumber business, will make
Portland the greatest grain and lum-
ber port north of San Francisco.
Harbor and channel Improvement on
the Willamette and Columbia has
reached a point where the facilities
are equal to any found at any other
port on the Pacific Coast, and our
shipping, both coastwise and foreign,
Is as well taken care of as 1t would
be at any port where shipping as
sembes.
This situation reveals but one
weak point, and that Is In our neg
lect OF the Alaska trade. We are
handling larger grain and lumber
business, coastwise and foreign, than
goes from any of the Puget Sound
ports, and our facilities for increas-
ing Il are practically unlimited. In
every trade field where Portland
has sought to gain foothold, sue
cess has followed our efforts. With
such good record in shipping, and
with our splendid facilities, the only
apparent reason why we have not al
ready received share of the Alaska
trade is that we have failed to go
after Il. There being no more inn
portant new business on the docket
for 1910. Il would seem that an earn
est, determined effort should be
made to establish line of steamers
to that rich country that offers such
wonderful returns to those engaged
In It's commercial exploitation.
An abundance of coal, for which
Portland would offer an excellent
market, has been found at number
OF points near the Alaska sea coast
Development of these mines would
enable all steamers to return with
full cargoes, an advantage which
would not be in evidence for tn,
Puget Sound steamers. The AlaskS
trade has made Seattle and Van
couver great cities, but II Is still II
It's infancy and there are wonder
ful opportunities for trade develop
ments. These opportunities will no
/, remain available forever and no tim,
should be lost In grasping them"
Not only does Oregon need tn,
Alaska trade but that great bis
country has long needed Oregon
farm products of all kinds. TIL,
: Alaska people are demanding Oregon
n butter, Oregon apples, pears, peaches
o and all other kinds OF fruits Tn,
Q Rogue River valley can furnish ear
d ly vegetables for shipment to AlaskJ
4 and can deliver them on board Q
+ Portland steamer north bound IL
Il little more than q half day from tn,

I Why In the world the enterprising

Alaska trade Is hard to conceive.

One OF the most pleasant little af-
fairs In connection with the Christ
mas season was held at the Jose.
phine hotel on Christmas eve. This
was the arranging of a Christmas
tree In which all the hotel guests
took part and were presented with
gifts from "0ld Santa" who was
there In all his glory. The tree was
first planned for little Helen Lister
but the hotel guests caught the
Christmas tree fever and begged ID
be allowed to take part, with the re.
suit that one OF the jolliest times
imaginable was the reward. There
were about 25 present at the fes.

safe to say that many a lonely heart
was gladdened which otherwise
would have passed very solitary
evening without the Christmas time

prominent place In every home, be

in the good old time fashion, while
mirth and good will prevailed

SOME ORIGINALITY Is
DISPLAYED BY JUNIORS

N HE Junic~ artists did not do quite
so we'll with the topic this week.
II where's the fire." seemed to
admit of little variation. All, or at
least nearly all, of the young artists
could see only boys, men and fire pa
trolls hurrying toward the scene of the
conflagration.
To be sure there were one or two
very original conceptions of the sub
ject. Florence Kirkpatrick of Ontario
sent in novel suggestion of the idea,
and Verneta Moroney of the Thirtieth
street school contributed a delightful
idea, but unfortunately used ruled
writing paper for her picture, so it
could not be reproduced here.
The sketch from Santa Barbara is
differnet, too, and could have been
worked out with a little more back
ground into a prize winning picture.
The picture which Clara Frieze of
Bell sent was a spirited drawing, but
she had been careless in making her
lower wall line, and it showed right
through the Dutch Woman's dress,
making that picture out of the race, al
though it was otherwise sufficiently
out of the ordinary so that it might
have been reproduced.
Voris Conner sent in cartoon which
shows originality and some technical
skill. Later this department may make
some effort in that direction, but for
the present it would be better if all
the boys and girls would do the very
best they can on the topic which is
assigned each week. OF course some
can draw one subject well, while 9th
ers will excel in some other direction.
This is as it should be, for no one boy
or girl would like to be best each time.
1t would spoil all the spirit of compe-
ton, which is worth quite as much as
is the actual winning of the prize.

than average merit were received from

come to the edge and nod to me to in

the room; and he soon made limited
language of movements of his head to
tell me his few wants-food, drink, to
sleep or to take a climb on the highest
piece of furniture in the room.
HE was from the beginning devoted
to me, and naturally became like a
spoiled child. If 1 gave him an UNI
