III Wind That
 Blows No Good

The panic and industrial depression of the past two years is operating henenoially for some communities at least. IL is causing the rapid settle- ment of sparse communities where land is cheap, through the fact that workers can no longer make living in the cities and factory districts.
 In Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona. Western Kansas and Nebraska, Wyoming and the Texas panhandle, according to dispatches great num= ber of men were driven to take up cheap lands as the closing of mills and factories all over the country were literally driving them to take up cheap or free government. lands in the West, where a large proportion of them are now settled on their own arms or small ranches and are on the way to com potency as one writer puts it, Driven to prosperity by seeming ldveristy". The philosopher will see n this apparent pardox justification for the belief that things generally even up in this world when one takes them by and large. Prices of food increase be cause the industrial estab- lishments employ millions who cannot produce food and there c.eate great demand for it. The mills keep on growing until they have surplus of production for which, owing to many reasons, there is no demand when the mills shut down. Having DO immediate living. certain per cent of the idle operatives take up Inexpensive land out West and go to farming.

Juneau is to have a mineral exhibit at the Barker assay office. Last even- ing Tt d meeting of the executive committee of the commercial club 1t was decided to place an exhibit there so that Mr. Barker would be at hand to explain to visitors the minerals of this section. Heretofore an attempt to have mineral display has been unsuccessful because there was nc practical man in charge. The old exhibit at the chamber of commerce was a good one but useless for tbat reason. -Juneau Dispatch.

Alaska Business
 With the States

I IOli lLlS Ol anu abor have come statistics of Alaska trade with the states. For the months ending with February the value of merchandise shipped from Alaska to the United States was SIP, l65. 533, an increase of s, GOO, 900 over the cor responding months the previous year. Rather more than half of this trade has come to Puget sound, while less than half has gone to San Francisco. The exact figures are: Seattle, So, 065. 312: San Francisco, D, 5G7. 535 : Tacoma s559, 573.
 The value of merchandise shipped from the United States to Alaska during the same period was s9, 430, 452 a slight decrease over the figures for the corresponding interval the yeai before due. 1t is said. 70 the lower valuations placed on manufactures of ron and steel, which form an inpor- rant item in the shipment to Alaska.
 By far and large the great bulk oi hese shipments passed through the port of Puget Sound the figures given being Puget Sound sS. n, 32S: San francisco s507, 4s2: Of the total. s4.- 250, GOO was manufactures ready foi consumption and si, 250, GOO as food stutfs.
 From the foregoing it appears that cent are handled by Seattle and Puget sound while of shipments from Alaska this section received more than 90 per cent. The twelve million dollars in merchandise shipped from Alaska included Canned salmon, B, 659, 7S9 i fish other than salmon, s669, l09; cop per ore, s403, COS: furs and fur skins. s435, 4l4: whalebone S1SS, 942.
 That Alaska is occupying an impor- tant part in the trade of the non-con- tInguous territory of the United States appears in the fact that the grand i total of such trade will be approx imatelysl50, GOO. 000 for the fiscal year to end with June 30th that includs 1 Hawaii and Porto Rico Thus Alaska is contributing almost tenth part of commerce that the Philippine, Guam, the Midway island and Tutuila do. The figures are for merchandise alone.
 When it comes to gold, that is an entirely different question. Most of it goes to Seattle. During the period referred to the value of native gold from Alaska to the United States was approximately sl6, 300, O00-more than twice the purchase price of the terri tory. .-Fairbank Tribune.
