ALASkA'S TRADE.

The report of the collector of GUS toms for the district of Alaska for the calendar year 1914, recently trans mitted to Washington, shows that the great northern territory has not been materially affected by the de- pression elsewhere, although that de- pression did retard some important developments and reduced the price and production of copper and some fish products. Had it not been for this, the years transactions would have been the largest in the history of Alaska. As it is, the showing is great one.
 During the year Alaska's imports, the greater portion from the United States, were valued at $25,849,944, while its exports were valued at $44,. 614,696. The total value of Alaska's commerce was greater than that of the year 1913. but slightly short of that of 1912.
 Contrary to the impression which prevails elsewhere, the greatest val ue of Alaska's exports was not in gold. The exports of domestic gold and silver to the United States were but $14,729,9O5. but little over one. third of the total exports of the ter ritory. It's fisheries producs alone are more valuable than the output of the mines of Alaska
 Considering how little has been done for the protection of vessels engaged in Alaska's trade, it is worthy of note that during the year 805 vessels entered and BIO cleared in the domestic trade of Alaska and 37S entered and 349 cleared in the for eign trade, making total of 1,183 vessels entered at the custom house. These vessels during the year car ried just short of 5O,O0O passengers.
 Here Is commerce of $70,464, $40

ROADHOUSE BURNED
 BY CARELESSNESS

Lieut.. Dougherty has received in formation to the effect that the fire which destroyed the Glacier House, north of Ernestine and eight miles from Tonsina, originated through the carelessness of two mushers coming out over the trail from Fairbanks. -
 The destruction of the house, which has been used as a relief cabin and as such has afforded shelter to many travellers when caught in storms, should be investigated and if the building was deliberately set fire the parties responsible should be brought to task.
 The house has been unoccupied for some time except by travellers who sought its shelter in times of need. It will be remembered that reports of depredations committed at the re. lief stations were reported last win ter. In some cases the temporary occupants of the houses even chop

ALASKA AND THE FOOD SUPPLY

Some of the statements contained in the annual report of Governor Strong, of Alaska, indicate the pos sibiity of that great territory becom- ing a most important source of food supply for the United States.
 Considerable stress is laid, in the governors report, upon the advan- tages of Alaska from an agricultural standpoint. There are 50,000,000 acres of land suitable for farming purposes and millions of other acres that could be utilized for cattle raising and dairying. The white population of the country is said to be 5000, this representing an increase of 5000 dur ing the year 1914 Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska have made great gains in business extension and pop ulation due to the expected develop ment of the regions by the construc- ton of the government railways. The districts to be opened, says the gov ernor, are known to contain unlimit- ed mineral, agricultural and other resources.
 In the increase of reindeer the re- port forsees the growth of a most inn portant industry There are sixty-two herds at present and they aggregate 47,OOO animals. "If markets for fresh reindeer meat could be opened in the United States it would aid in solv. ing the question of meat supply for the nations," says Gov. Strong. "The meat is delicious, and could be sold at prices considerably lower than those which fresh beef and other meats now command"
 The products of Alaska's fisheries are we'll known in the United States. Fish constitute one of the territory's greatest resources and last years fish production in that country contribut- ed $17,000,000 to the national wealth
 A country which is capable of sup porting millions of inhabitants should not lack population. The commerce of the territory of 1914 was valued at $620OO,000. 2 Alaska has gold, sill yer, copper. coal and other minerals of acres of land adapted to agricul- tural purposes there should be no doubt of it's rapid development when railroad facilities are provided. That it will become ultimately very pros porous country and valuable feeder for the rest of the United tates seems entirely within the bounds of prob ability.-Ex.

Carib's Captain To Blame.

BERLIN, Feb. 24-The German ad- miralty places the blame of the sink ing of the American steamer Carib, loaded with cotton from Galveston to Bremen which struck a German mine off the coast of Germany and went to the bottom on the captain of the vessel. It is declared that the captain failed to keep within the pre- scribed marine route although he had been warned by a German cruiser. The German government has express ed regret at the loss of the vessel and cotton but is pleased to report that the crew of the vessel is safe
