Strange Questions at Library.

Some of the foggiest questions, as
may be presumed, come to the mental
vision of the attendants in the tene
ment district branches. Many of the
readers. although thoroughly sincere
IN their effort to appreciate the good
in literature, have small acquaintance
with the classics, and, as a conse-
quence, these patrons are listed In
library phraseology as "the worst of
all the questioners." A survey Of the

the fact that one patron asked what

BIC INCREASE IN
ALASKA TRADE
LAST YEAR

That Alaska's great constructive
and commercial gains in 1914 are to
be multiplied in 1915 is forseen in the
annual report of Collector of Customs
j. F. Pugh.
First of all is the railroad, to height
en- the development of this hitherto
neglected territory. The latest au-
thentic advices from the National cap
ital fix the early Spring as the start of
the grading for the railroad, beyond
any possibility of doubt. and from all
over the United States there will be
rush to the North unequalled by
any of the famous gold stampedes to
the Territory. 1t is believed.

1t is evident from a perusal of the
hearings before cited that whoever
drew the boundaries of the foret res
ervations in Alaska had no knowledge
of the country whatever; had never
been there nor consulted with any
one that had. The whole aim and
purpose seems to have been to slice
off as big a chunk of the public do
main as possible and lock it up in
forest reservation regardless of
whether or not there was a tree on
1t.
Alaskans perfectly willing to have
a forest and have 1t under proper con
troll but they would like to have trees
in the forest
1t would appear to the casual OBJ
server that the American Forestry AS
Soclation tried to give the idea of a
governing board for Alaska an upper
cut" as II were, nip II In the bud"
I presume they would call 1t. Can It
be possible that they are afraid of los
ing little prestige? 1t is presumed
that If board were created part of
its duties would be to look after the
forests under the direction of Con
gress and the departments. Another
of its duties would be to avoid lust
such blunders as were made in set
ting aside the forest reservations In
Alaska. Alaska Is so far away from
the seat of government that II Is i'm
possible for the officers charged with
the administration of affairs to fa-
miliarize themselves with conditions.
and that is the main reason for the
creation of governing board. This
would bring the people In direct touch
with the government and the govern
ment in direct touch with condi-
tons as they are, and materially as
list in the development OF that vast
empire. | venture to assert that
ninety-nine and ninety-nine one-hun-
dredths of the people of Alaska are
in favor OF the proposed governing
board. The other 100 per cent have

Judging from the letters of inquiry that
are reaching the local government Off
ces, in regard to full Interpretation
of the regulations
The war in Europe has brought to
the salmon packers a price for their
product that has made up for the two
lean years preceding 1914, and with
the replenishment of their supply of
capital IT is believed that many Of
the canneries in the North will enlarge
their plants this year, as the supply
of fish seems to be increasing instead
decreasing, and top prices for the
canned article are expected for good
many years to come.
An increase of $4,000 in the value of
merchandise shipped from Alaska to
the United States. the unprecedented
value of the salmon pack, which show
ed the year to have been the most
profitable in the fishing industry of
the North, the rapid development of
the camps. gold quartz and copper
the doubling of the marble output of
the Territory. a leap of $4,000, 900 In
the gold and silver shipped to the out
side, and the addition to Alaska's pop
ulation of three thousand people are
the striking features of the annual re-
port of Collector of Customs John
Fraser Pugh, which has been released
for publication. The report covers
the period from January I, 1914, to
January 1, 1915.
In his syllabus, Collector Pugh says:
"The report of the general trade rela-
tions of the Territory shows satisfac-
tory results and evidences substan-
tial growth. The increase of business
over the previous year indicates that
had Alaska not been materially eff
fected by the general commercial de-
preston, which retarded some import
ant developments, reduced the price
and production of copper and certain
fish products, this years transactions
would have been the greatest in its
history"
The report points out that the year
1914 witnessed "the greatest export
of canned salmon and a marked in
crease in fish oils. precious metals and
marble" The value OF fur shipments
by mail amounted to $1S2,O84. The
figures were received too late to be
shown in the tabulated report.
The divisions where the great gold
placers are located have met with the
natural decline due to the exhaustion
of the more easily exploited deposits.
Approximately three thousand more

people came to Alaska from the United
States and British Columbia, in 1914,
than in 1913, as compared to 1000
more departures from the Territory
than during the previous year. The
cannery workers who comprise the
floating population" are not includ-
ed in the report, which gives the fig
ures added stability.
In the domestic trade sO5 vessels,
of total tonnage of 515, 2S3, entered
Alaska during the year 1914, as com
pared with s12 vessels and a tonnage
of 49S.O666 in 1913.
In the foreign trade 37s vessels en-
tered, with a total tonnage of 49,, 403.
BY comparison the domestic trade ex-
ceeded the foreign trade by 2s4 per
cent.
