ALASKA'S TRADE GROWS
 IN SPITE OF GOVERNMENT

Despite the fact that large pro portion of the land in Alaska has been dedicated to solitude in the shape of forest and other government re- serves, the Territory last year in- creased it's trade with the United States, and principally with the port of Seattle, by $2O,OOO,00O. The total commerce of Alaska in 1912 was in round number $52,OOO,OOO; in 1913 it amounted to $72,OOO.OOO. It is eX- pected the commerce of the Territory will be still further increased this year, and that 1914 will see tremen- dous development.
 Another increase of trade with Alas ka that may be looked for is in dredg- ing and mining machinery. Along the lines of the proposed railroads are many small gash quartz veins, which, notwithstanding freight charges of $1 a pound in some cases, are worked at a profit. In these regions are many larger. but lower.grade deposits of ore, comparatively cheap transportation which with supply of local fuel and can be placed on a paying basis.
 Alaska has produced approximately $45O 100000 in aquatic and mineral products. Only two.ffths of the Ter ritory has been mapped, and less than four.ffths of it has been trodden by the foot of white man; in the forest and other reserves are countless acres of proven mineral land, and as time goes on more and more of these re- sources will be brought to the mar kets of the world Alaska has already justified itself as the cheapest land bargain in the history of the nation it cost but little more thar 2 cents an acre-and there is every good req son to expect that it will be source of lucrative profit for many years. The era of it's greatest development will date from the construction of its first trunk line railroad and the opening of it's coal fields.-Jack Underwood, in 18th Annual Seattle Times.
