Business Between Alaska and U. S

Merchandise and treasure to the
value of 66,5OO,000 moved between
Alaska and the United States in 1914,
an increase of $4,00O,000 over 1913.
Our shipments to Alaska last year, ac-
cording to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, aggregated $22,-
100000, including approximately $14,-
100000 worth of manufactures, $6,200,-
600 worth of foodstuffs and $2,000,000
worth of gold, silver and miscellane-
Gus materials, including foreign mer-
chandise valued at 100000. AS a
market for our products Alaska, hav-
ing a population of only $4,000, is of
equal Importance with China, with a
population of 336,000,G00.
Alaskas great purchasing power is
natural corollary of its enormous re-
sources, mainly gold, copper, fishery
products and hitherto undeveloped
beds of coal and other minerals. In
the period since 1867 Alaska has given
to the world S250,00O,000 worth of
gold 1888, 100000 worth of fish, $685.
10000 worth of seal and other aquat-
ic fur skins, $20,000,00O worth of cop
per, nearly $5,000,000 worth of whale,
walrus and fish oils, $2,000,000 worth
of silver and whale-bone, coal, gypsum
marble, tin and vegetables in suffic-
lent sums to bring her total output to
more than $5O0,OOO,00O. This result
has been achieved with a sparse pop
ulation and an inadequate system OF
railway and other transportation facil-
tiles.

skins, 100000, and miscellaneous fish
and fish products, $1,250,0O0 were the
largest factors Our purchases of fish
and fish products from Alaska las
year totaled S20,0O0,00O, or five times
as much as imports of this class from
Norway. OF salmon alone we bought
from Alaska 2O0,000,000 pounds il
1914 or an average of two pounds pei
capita.
Trade with Alaska has doubled il
10 years. Our shipments of merchan
disc to Alaska increased from $11 ,44S,
423 in 1904 to $21 ,61O,S6O in 1914, while
receipts of merchandise from Alask;
have grown from $1O,647,59 to $25

Alaska fell in value from $9,950.529 il
1904 to $3,452, 1872 in 1914, while thos
of domestic gold rose from $9,090,95

Growing insistence is shown in the
demand for practical and experienced
busin men in the conduct of pub
lie affairs. Few men of this type
achieve political preferment. They are
not expert at working the machinery
through which nominations and cleo
lions are secured. They do not ere
ate favorable impression in a cam
paign, by comparison with finished
public speakers, but they do possess
the ability to get results in developing
effective organization and their judg-
ment is sound in matters pertaining to
the active functions of government. To
secure the services of good business
men there must come a departure in
which the office actually seeks the
man, and that is mighty difficult
proposition whom there is necessity
for lodging so many office seekers in
the quest.

Appreciated and Honored.

Among the many acts which the
Grand Army of the Republic has com
mitted in it's half century of organiza-
ton. none have been more purely in
spired by patriotism and high senti-
ment than this annual testimonial to
those who served their country in its
time of need The service of the men
who saved the Union was a stern and
hard one. 1t cost many thousands of
lives, another myriad of losses of
limbs. and years of severe and patri-
otic services. For the half-century
since the war closed the country has
annually testified its appreciation and
honor for the sacrifices of patriotic
men in that struggle.

Churchill Says Goodby-FormaI Trans

fer of Power Tuesday, This Week.
London.-The formation Of the Goa
lition cabinet has taken definite shape.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, whose quarrel
with Baron Fisher, first sea lord, was
largely responsible for the crisis, babe
farewell Saturday to the heads of the
various departments at the admiralty.
1t is said there is a possibility that he
will not accept place in the new ad-
ministration and that for the duration
of the war he will content himself with
a seat among the private members OF
the house.
1t is almost certain, however, that
David Lloyd-George will remain chan
cellor of the exchequer and that Regi-
maid McKenna, the marquis of Crewe,
A. j. Balfour, Andrew Bonar Law, j.
Austen Chamberlain and the marquis
of Lansdowne will be included in the
new ministry.
A privy council was held Tuesday
when the outgoing ministers handed
over the seals of office to their sue
cessors.
When parliament reassembles June
the prime ministers will ask the pub
lie to vote confidence in the new gov
eminent.

BILLYS GREAT DAY
Surely Runaway Youngsters
Footsteps Were Guided by a
Special Providence.

IN lilly had been promised that he
n should be taken to the cemetery.
The blue-coated troops, the boom
ing of the cannon and the grave dec
orations united in forming a most fas-
cinating occasion for Billy as each
Memorial day returned with its sacred
associations. Needless to say, he
pouted and fretted, and was not at all
an ideal Billy when grandma said her
head ached too badly to take him
Why did she have to have headache
on Memorial day? Why couldn't
Sarah get dressed and take him?
Why couldn't he go alone? But
grandma was obdurate, and three
hours of nursery and toys were pre-
scribed for Billy instead of bright
green stretches of marvellous burial
ground, laundering of cannon and
crowds of wonderful brass-buttoned
soldiers.
For an hour Billy engaged in guild
ing his tin soldiers to a hastily made
cemetery, where they shot imaginary
guns off over impromptu graves dec
GRATED with paper flags. Suddenly a
solemn roar penetrated the sunny
ROOM Billy's heart bounded, Five
minutes later a chubby figure in gray
coat and cap, barehanded, his gloves
being dropped in his haste, let himself
quietly out of the front door and made
his way to the spot from which the
| glorious sound had emanated.
He passed in the gates unnoticed
and was soon in the heart of action
How splendid it was Hundreds Of
pretty flags and some that we're not
so pretty. Billy heard a man say that
the holes IN them had been made by
powder and bullets, So many soldiers
So many flowersl
He stood on a grassy mound, a pic
ture of profound attention, brown curls
flying in the wind, eyes fastened on
the enchanting scene. Suddenly an
old gentleman in uniform stepped up
and pinching his cheek. said: "And

People passing wondered to Sc.

old soldier and wondered still NOR,
when, after a few words with one o
his comrades, he grasped tightly the
hands of the boy, and they passed on
together. Billy was an adept at an

In their country's wondrous story
Learned they of the greater glory
Yet to be;
And this faith, all else transcending,
Bore them onward to the ending
Victory.
Shall this faith find all fruition?
Had these souls a holy mission
To unfold?
Are the people bravely keeping
All their heritage, or sleeping
AS of old?

The laboratories for American political exper-

Of things left by reat-grandmother and no sheds
full of tools left by great srandfather. They are
not cluttered up with traditions and the service
they do in accommodation and laboratory work
is invaluable for republic which must be always
testing its processes and which, unless It finds
places for experiment, must proceed on theories
and not from facts.
Woman suffrage is being tested out in the
west. It is being tested even so far east as
Illinois. It has made such progress that soon It
must be considered for its revealed facts rather
than for it's arguments In Illinois we believe
that the new electoral process has worked well.
It has had just about such results as reasonable
person would have predicted for it, and they are
sufficient to justify the enfranchising Of women.
The progress of reform by successful exper-
iment cannot be stopped and the conservative
east in time will accept the decision arrived at by
experiment in the laboratory states-Chicago
