 In order to handle the increased traffic, the Copper River railroad, according to an announcement made by R. w.

NLAY EXTEND S1,5OO,OOO
 TO GET TOURISTS

Seattle. Dec. 28 - One million five hundred thousand dollars may be expended in the next three years by the cities of Washington and Oregon and the Northern railroad lines in an elaborate and extensive advertising campaign to bring tour ists to the Northwest.
 Such a plan was laid recently be- fore the members of the publicity and industrial bureau of the New Chamber of Commrece by Jo- sepb Kathrens, a Chicago udvertis- ing expert, and William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Orcgon-Washington railroad and Navigation company, with head quarters at Portland.

doya's shipments of copper have been running about $1,500,OOO per month, occasionally reaching the $2,0QO,9OO mark. MT. Baxter says the shipments will be larger this writer. More ore will be broken and the road will be equipped to handle it. Several other properties contiguous to the railroad also are | expected to make some shipments this summer.
 Ir. Baxter says the company has nc present plans for extending the road and that none will be made uuil he Alaska coal land situa- tiou is made clear. f the Bering river coal is made available, @ shelter will be built at Cordoya, but whether the road from the fields to Cocdova will be built by the ccm- palv or by the government is some thing that has not yet been deter mined.
 We are unable to take any ac- ticu or to make any plaRs,' said Mr Baxter, "until we find out what the government is going to do. We would like to have coal, and haven't any doubt that if 1t were made available, somebody would build a smeIter."
 Mir, Baxter looks for next year to ha the biggest in the history of the commerce of the territory. This years commerce exceeds that of last yer by approximately forty per cent and it is anticipated there will be a still greater increase next year. - Settle Times.

of from 40 to so per cent. The esti-
mate declares that it is very likely the
meat card will be introduced. There
is sufficient copper in Germany to
supply all demands for many years,
it is claimed. Altogether, it is est-
mated that about Z per cent of the
normal imports of foodstufs have
been imported. About per cent of
