ALAskA's SALES GROW
Exports to United States Show
Big Gain in 1916.
Copper Takes First Place Among Ter.
ritory's Exports, Supplantin0
Salmon and Gold.

Alaska is giving increasing evidence
of it's rich resources. Alaska's sales to
the United States in the fiscal year
1915 aggregated nearly $50,0O0,000, a
sum double the annual average since
1912 and only exceeded by those of
ten countries when measured by their
sales to us in the last year prior to
the great war. In addition to this,
Alaska shipped to US in 1915-16 gold
valued at $16,000,O00 and silver to the
value of 100000, both from its own
mines.
The predominant feature Of the
years trade, according to an analysis
made by the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce, department of COM
merce, was the rise of copper to first
place among Alaska's export staples,
thereby supplementing salmon and
gold as the leading items. Receipts
Of copper in ore, matte and regulus
from Alaska aggregated 117,0OO,O0O
pounds, valued at $26,500,0O0. This is
four times the average for the pre-
ceding three years and exceeds the
combined imports OF tnaI Glass from
Chile, Cuba, Canada and Mexico, the
leading foreign sources of this form
of copper.
Canned salmon shipped to the
United States in the last fiscal year
amounted to 216,000,000 pounds. val
ued at S1S,300,000, an increase Of 24,-
100000 pounds over 1915 and 10000
900 over 1914. .s.. l.l,t, as.s.l
The shipment of $16,200,0O0 worth
of Alaskan gold to domestic ports was
larger by $1,O0O,OOO than the total for
1915, and by 100000 than that of
1914. Silver shipments. valued at
$4,000 in 1915, were 100000 more
than in 1915 and 100000 more than in
1914.

Big SHARE TO TEXAS
Lone Star State Profits Most
From U. S. Road Aid.

Delaware, With $s,184.37, Draws
the Smallest Portion.

Texas will get larger share than
any other state Of the $5,000,000 which
has been appropriated by congress to
be spent in the construction of public
highways during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1917. Delaware will get
the least. Texas share Of the road
fund will be 1921, 927.S1, while Della
ware will receive only $S,1S4.37.
Before making the division among
the states, the secretary of agriculture,
in accordance with the act, deducted
three per cent, or $150,000, needed for
administering its provisions. This left
$4,850,0O0 to be apportioned among the
states, one-third in the ratio of area,
one-third In the ratio of population and
one-third in the ratio Of mileage OF
rural delivery routes and star routes.
The apportionment on this basis gives
the following amounts for the several
states:

Woodrow Wilson and Business.

Charles Sumner Birds distress over
the injury done to American business,
or soon to be done In the future, by
the Wilson administration, should be
contemplated in the light of the SUBJ
Joined statement In Mr.. Barron's Bos-
ton News bureau-and Mr.. Barron Is
no admirer of Woodrow Wilson:
"The week of July Is. 1915, should
be notable in financial history In con-
nection with the federal reserve act.
For the first time the New York
money market dominates the London
market. The Bank of England rate
was advanced to 6 per cent, because
money went to per cent In New York.
With our exports expanded $1,000
100000 per annum, the United
States under the Federal Reserve act
is today the dominant money factor In
the world"
These things do not jibe. For, as
the one man chiefly responsible for
the federal reserve act, under which
the United States ''is today the domi-
nant money factor of the world"
Woodrow Wilson will never be known
in history as the enemy" of American
business, whatever Mr. Bird may say
of him in this campaign.-Springfield

Wise and Otherwise.

Even experience Is unable to teach

Every woman is judge and jury

All things come to those who stop

Nothing worries some wives like abb

HUGHES ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Too Long, and Vague in Suggesting Al
terations for the Policies He
Criticizes.

Mr.. Hughes would have been more
merciful to country plunged in
steep-down CULTS of heat and very
family interested in politics at pres
ent If he had cut his notification
speech shorter. but possibly the pa
tient reader will be grateful to 1t for
a refrigerating effect. This is not to
say that it is not as able and forcible
a document as his difficult task al
lows. That task is to solder split
party; to try to create issues In the
presence of the great constructive
policies that have been put on the
statute books In Mr.. Wilson's adj
ministration; to breathe life into the
ghost issues evoked in the hope Of
making the voters forget the unpa-
triotic and un-American course of so
large part of the Republican party
In congress in refusing to support
Mr.. Wilson's assertion of the rights
of American citizens upon the high
seas; to explain to prosperous
people that they have no right to be
prosperous under Democratic admin
istration and without the shelter of the
ark of high protection. Mr.. Hughes
is lucid where he can afford to be;
vague when he suggests, so far as he
does suggest, alternatives of the poll
cies he criticizes.
Little that Is new appears In the
speech. 1t is mainly composite of
the well-known wisdom of Republican
sages and the converted Progressive
chiefs. The voices of Mr.. Roosevelt,
of Senator Fall, of Senator Harding
and the Home Market club may be
detected In it. Senator Fall, indeed,
seems to be the main prompter.

If the Boy in Blue Is Disabled
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBY.

VIII you tell me what I should do for
her happiness and NINE"
There are few sadder cases of the
blasting of loves young dream, but
from one end of the world to the 9TH
er there exists at the present moment
many thousands of such cases which
disabled soldiers are trying to fight
out on their cots of pain. Unfortun-
ately they do not understand the
hearts or nobility Of women under such
circumstances. With but few excep-
tons, when young girl gives her
heart to her lover 1t is not because of
his manly beauty In face or form, his
ambition to forge ahead. 1t is his
winning personality, that wondrous,
inexplainable attraction and influence
which draws hearts intended for each
other together. Sorrow and misfortune
make the object of true woman's af-
lection doubly dear to her. A love
that veers when so tested is not the
grand, true kind upon which man can
build the hopes and trust of life
time.
Before harboring the thought of
parting. man should throw himself
upon the mercy and wishes of his
sweetheart, leaving it with her to de-
eide.

and that she would stand by her hero

Such letters are life ellxirs to the

honor. The dear loves at home nerve

Wonderful Cause and Result.

After all is said, it is to the admin
istration of Woodrow Wilson. to its
remarkable achievements amid unpar-
alleled difficulties and trials, to the
patience, skill and sagacity of Its re-
markable president, to the strong hold
which it has established in the graft
tude and confidence of the American
people, that we owe this unique and
reluctant performance of the Repub-
lican party. If we had not had Wood
row Wilson in the presidential chair

of the last half-century Of American
history, Mr.. Hughes would have beer

The Difference.

One evil which the Republican

to fasten on the Democratic admins
ers in northern waters.
Whether this Eruption Is due to the
low tariff or to the presidents inepti-

cussedness of Democracy, we cannot
say; but certainly 1t is something hor-
rifying. and even Wall street views 1t
