Big Increase in
Alaska Commerce

The figures of Port Warden,
Davies, of Seattle, covering the
first three months Of 1912 are par
ticularly interesting as relates to
the new development in Alaska.
For this period the imports and
exports show an increase to the
valuation of s654,oI6 over the
same period last year and this does
not include copper otes shipped to
Tacoma. Figuring the same ratio
for the entire year the increase in
trade in Alaska during 1912 will
total over two millions and with
the copper will equal several mill
lions additional.

We are not prepared to say wheth-

the boat Eoveta because he liked
the boot and the brand or whether
he wishes TO sell the boat and
thought the Lovera cigars rep
as best seller" would help:
