ALASKA TRADE
IS GROWING FAST


 SEATTLE. Oct. 24.- Alaska com. merce continues to show phenome- nal increase. The total through the port of Seattle from January ] to Sep lember SO 1915, was 89 per cent. greater than for the same period last year. This increase has been gradu- ally growing since early in the year, For the month of July the increase was n per cent for August 60 per cent. and for September 67 peh cent
 "Alaska's commerce this year will show @ most remarkable increase. and when the figures are completed by the end of Che year they will demon strate most efectiyely the great pos- abilities of Alaskan development when given half a chance" said J. l.. McPherson, secretary O, tho Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, commenting on these figures. Mir. Me pherson said:
 Alaska commerce for this year shows conclusiyely how enormous win be her trade when her resources are opened up and developed lf she can make such a showing with the slight measures of encouragement that have been meted out to her dur ing the last two years. and with her mere handful of men. white popu- iation of about only one-eighth the size Of Seattle what will she do when she is granted those measures so essential to her development. and for whicn an friends of Alaska have been striving?
 Companions With Other Tradei
 Some idea of the immensity of this trade and what it means to Seaeue can be gained from a comparison of. this Alaska business for the last year with that of other countries In 1914 Alaska's commerce exceeded the to- toi commerce of the United States with China by more than Ss.0O0.000. and was 21 per cent Of the entire commerce Of all the United States with an the countries of South Amer ica. Alaska's white population was then only about 10000 This years comparison is going to be for more startling.
 "The remarkable increase this year has been due to no one factor. nor does 1t center from any one locality. although some predominate over oth- ers All sections Of the Northland have felt the revival. and where for years there was nothing but spirit of pessimism. you will now find the most enthusiastic optimism These facts are going to be a strong lever age to secure from Congress the measures for which the administra. ton and all friends Of Alaska have been striving. and the opportunity is going to be taken advantage of in the fullest measure.
 Business for next year promises even greater returns One company alone the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company. of Juneau. has recently made known its plans for next year. It| contemplates the expenditure of S2,- 500,000 in the development Of its enor- nous gold property back of Juneau S1,O0OO0O for the mill, S5OO,O0O for the power plant and $1,OOO,OOO for mine development

MINIATURE TREES.
sinplo Plan by Which Plants May so
 DWarfed In the Growing.


 For many centuries the Japanese have closely guarded the secret or growing miniature trees. Indeed, un' til recently they did not allow the trees to be taken out of the country; wealthy people keep them as art trensurers. Now, in America, dwarf trees bring q good price and are used as. house plants and table decorations By following the plan here described almost any one can raise diminutira trees with little trouble.
 Get a few large, thick skinned oranges and halve them. Remove the pulp and cover the outside of the skins with thick sheIlac. That will keep the skins from shriyeling Fill the skins with fine. rich soil, and plant therein a seed of whatever tree you wish to raise-or rather two or three seeds, to insure at least one good speri. men.
 Make stand of some kind so that the growing tree can bC kept in an upright position and set the plants where they will get plenty of sun, but do not keep them In room that Is likely to become overheatCd Water them regularly, but not too protuscly After time the roots will begin to come through the orange peel When that happens cut the roots off husb with the outer surface of the orange peel. but be careful not to injure the hln of shellac.
 It Is the cutting of the roots tha' stunts the plants When the tree has reached maturity you can transfer 1t to more attractive holder. ConiferS such as cedars, pines and cryptomcriaS can be readily stunted; so also can other eVergreens. as ileX and Citrus trifoliata. Some dwarf cri1rS har' been known to live more li@n @" years Fruit trees, such a~ ,5o "'aH@ and plum. blossom and h.sr "rrfr" fruit,-Youth's Companion.
