COPPER ACTIVITY IS
 BOON ID ALASKA

Alaska never looked brighter" re, marked Kenneth c. Kerr, editor of the Railway & Marine News. upon his re- turn to Seattle from a three weeks' voyage, covering Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska.
 Many things contribute to the ex. ceAent showing in the territory, chief of which might be mentioned the truly remarkable output of Alaska copper ore. These shipments are from, Skag. way, Latouche, Ellam2r and 'Cordova, the latter point being the gateway to the great Copper river district, which is now shipping high grade copper to valuation of about, S2.0O0, ,000 monthly. The mines at Latouche and Ellamar are working regularly and making splendid showing. Each steamship southbound from Skagway will carry 200 or 300 tons from the Atlas mine and at Ketchikan l was personally informed by former gov ernor Sulzer, of New York. that his copper mine, located at SulEer. about 40, miles from Ketchikan. was soon going to be a regular and additional producer for the northern territory.

 RECORD FOR TRAVEL

A governor who travels thousands of miles in making an annual tour of his territory, and one who travels l farther on his single annual trip than others do in years, is the proud dis tinction held by Governor J. F. A. Strong of the Territory of Alaska.
 Governor Strong makes an annual pilgrimage from Juneau to Skagway, crossing to Dawson by railroad and steamer. entering Alaska again at Eagle, and continuing down the Yukon to it's mouth, returning to Juneau either by way of Seattle and the southern end of the territory, or by way of Seward. Valdez and Cordova. The trip covers approximately 5000 miles of travel, nearly all of which is by water and consumes from 36 to 60 days in time., This year the trip was 5000 miles in length and took exactly 36 days, which is record for time.
 Governor Strong says that if he had made any of his usual side trips the mileage would have been considerably extended. The trip this year was made as short as possible in order that the party might connect with the Victoria at Nome and return by way of the westward.
 |, Among the towns visited were Haines. Skagway, Whitehorse and Dawson in Canada, Eagle, Fort Yukon, Panama. Fairbanks, St. Michaels, Nome, Anchorage. Valdez, Cordova and Juneau. Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan were not visited this year, as it was not neces- sary to go to Seattle on the return from Nome.
 Governors of other states and terri tories. with the possible exception of Texas, can travel from end to end of their states in day, and can make a tour visiting all the principal cities in each state in a weeks time, but Governor Strong sets a record when he arrives in Juneau 36 days after his departure.
 Legislators who travel two and three thousand miles by dog team 10 attend sessions of the Alaska legisla. ture are not uncommon. one senator having crossed from Nome to Cordova in the dead of last winter, a distance of thousand miles, by dog team in record breaking time to attend the last | session.
 Governors and other officials in the states who think they travel great dis tances should come to Alaska and fol- low Governor Strong on his annual trip and they would change their opin- ion very materially.

Want to Avoid Friction

Meantime the United States gov. ernment plans for greater railroad de- yelopment in Alaska are moving fast to successful conclusion. It is the in- tention of the American capitalists who are entering the Alaska held on such large scale to work their plans in entire harmony with the plans of the government, doing everything possible to prevent any recurrence of the friction between government and private interest which have held back the growth of Alaska to this date.
 i With the building of these. rail, roads those familiar with Alaskan con. ditions predict that the interior of the vast northern territory will be trans. formed into region In which smelt. CTS, manufacturing companies and various industries will abound and in which there will be cities similar to those in the United States, with houses and schools, instead of the mining camps existing at present, and in which agricultural resources will be developed on great scale,
 Unlike the coast region, the in. terior of Alaska, instead of being .b bleak and dismal, is a great agricul. tural stretch similar to the agricul. 'tural districts of Norway and Sweden, which are inhabited by so large a population.

IF MORGAN DEVELOPMENT
 IF ALASKA

The following article from the New York Journal of Commerce of July 13 will be of general interest to Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest: :: Wall street believes that J. P. Morgan & Co., the Guggenheims and other capitalists are planning com prehensive plans for the development work In Alaska.
 What has prompted steps to thls end 1t is said, are conditions brought about by the European war. Accord. ing to rumor, these plans will call for an increased output of copper and other metals, railroad development to be worked In conjunction with the United States government lines and additional steamship facilities from the tidewater terminals of those rall- roads to the metal smelters of Ta- coma and the great metal consuming districts of the Atlantic coast of the United States and Europe through the Panama canal.
 These interests have already taken over large colpper properties, includ- ing the Beatson Copper company, and are expected to acquire others. The purchase of the. copper properties is being effected through the Kennecott Copper Corporation, controlled by. the Morgan-Guggenheim interests" .i kennecott Mines
 Here follows short rescription of the Rennecott company, which was told of at length In the Monday Morn- ing Financial Section of July 5. The Journal then continues.
 "The Kennecott mines are among the largest properties in the world, their output, alone, 1t Is said. having more than supported the Copper River X Northwestern railway, which was built some years ago from Cordova to Chitina with branch line from there to Kennecott, at a total cost of $14, 100000. From Chitina there is a military wagon road to Fairbanks, 300 miles away, the metropolis of interior Alaska, and 1t Is known that for years the Copper River & Northwestern railroad considered the extension of its railroad along that road, but was halted by the attacks made on Alaskan railway promoters in connec- ton with the political fight for the national conservation Of coal re- sources.

Transportation Facilities

ITO meet this great development
 steamship lines from, the tidewater
 terminals of the railroads will be necessary. It Is these steamship faci- .lties which are provided for in the
 Morgan line running between Alaska and the Pacific Coast states. This is the Alaska steamship line, and from the Pacific coast states the Morgan Interests have recently established the Panama ,& Pacific line. through the Panama canal to New York, while the
 Morgan lines across the Atlantic are
 too well known to need description. Tt is thus seen that the Morgan in. terests already have steamship lines in connection with Alaska to Europe. In recent weeks steamship owners and .certain shipyards have received in- 'quiries regarding vessels suitable for the Pacific States-Alaska coast routes. President Eccles of the Alaska steamship line. said yesterday that his line has not put out such inquiries, de
 spite the reports crediting the in. quiries to his company. That the .n qniries are being made in behalf O, the Morgan. interests Is the. belief oi | .-

EAR1ET.NG NJ PARCEL 70a4

The following interesting and infor-
native article on the use of the par
eel post by farmers to market their
produce in cities appeared in the
weekly news letter issued by the
United States department of agricul-
lure for December %
There are many farmers who would
like to market various kinds of pro-
duce by parcel post, and there are al
SO many town and city residents who
would like to receive produce of diff
ferent kinds direct from the country.
One of the principal difficulties in
getting parcel-post marketing started,
so far as the producer is concerned, is
finding customer for what he has to
market, and, with the city housewife,
re finding of a farmer who can sup
ly what she desires The question
with both producer and consumer is,
how can | make a contact in order to
market by parcel post?'
THE producer may get into touch
with persons who desire to market
Ivy parcel post in several ways:
20 A start may be made with an
acquaintance in town or city. or such
town or city acquaintance may put
the producer into touch with some
enc who desires to market by parcel
post.
'(2) 1t is suggested that many town
and city physicians have patients who
need strictly fresh eggs regularly, and
by making inquiry of a number of city
physicians arrangements could doubt
less be made not only for eggs but for
many other articles as we'll.
"(3) A small advertisement in d
city paper might produce satisfactory
results. A number of city and other
papers are making speciality of a
parcel-post advertisement column oil
section, which might be tried.

20 Producers who desire to de-
vclop marketing by parcel post on
more than small scale might find it
desirable to go to the city, select the
| proper kind of a residential section,
J make a personal canvass of the house
wives. and arrange for trial or sample
| shipments.
| City housewives may find some of
the foregoing suggestions useful in
making contact with producers from
! whom they can secure articles as
| they desire. In addition to this, they
could doubtless obtain ready response
| to an advertisement in some country
or agricultural paper circulating in a
| section where they know they could
secure the kind and quality of pro-
duce wanted.
Much dissatisfaction has resulted
from farmers asking unreasonable
prices for the articles they offer for
sale. 1t is necessary to have know
ledge of what the various kinds of
produce sell for in order that proper
prices may be fixed. 1t is a little more
parcel post than in the ordinary way
and it is also somewhat more trouble
to the city housewife to market by
parcel post. She has to attend to the
ordering. the returning of empty con-
tainers or market baskets, and the
making of remittancos. In considera-
ton of these facts the producer must
receive better price than he ordinar-
lily does, and the consumer should Sc
/ cure a better article than ordinarily
at the same price or an article of the
same quality at somewhat lower
price
The cost of marketing a family
sized quantity of any commodity is
greater in proportion than that OF
marketing a lot of 10 or % barrels or
a carload, and this must be considered
III adjusting the price. Neither the
producer nor the consumer should ex'
pect to have all the difference in price
on his side; it must be divided equit
ably between the two, taking into con
sideration the cost of cOntainer, thC
postage, the ordinary or local price
obtainable by the producer, and the
retail price which would have to be
paid by the consume'-as well as the
