LOOk|NC AFTER TRADE WHEN
 WAR ENDS

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. - Believing that the many problems that have arisen in foreign trade merit the ear, nest consideration of American busi- ness men, James A. Farrell. chairman of the National Foreign Trade Coun. cil, has issued a call for the fourth National Foreign Trade convention. to be held at Pittsburg, January 25-26-27 The convention will be held in co operation with the commercial and In dustrial organizations of that city, through the Pittsburg Foreign Trade Commission, and all Americans en gagged in or desirOus of entering over seas commerce are invited to partici pate In "a practical and constructive discussion of policies and practices necessary to meet keener competition which the United States may encoun- ter in world markets after the war"
 Conditions in foreign markets, mea- sures necessary to safeguard Ameri- can foreign trade, and the foreign trade aspects of the American tariff system; cooperation in foreign trade development; the American merchant marine; foreign investment of Ameri- can capital; and the problem of the smaller manufacturer and merchant will be matters for discussion

TOURIST HOTELS BE BUILT IN
 ALASKA

In one of the recent articles on Alaska, Frank f. Carpenter. the world renowned writer, who visited Cor doya a year ago. says that company is being organized at the present time to establish big hotels at Skag- way. Dawson. Fairbanks and Seward These will be for the purpose of ac- commodating in first class style the tourists whom they hope to steer northward. The plan Is to advertise the trip down the Yukon and up to Fairbanks. thence to the coast over the government railroad, with a stop over Of a few days in each four places above mentioned. so that the visitors may study conditions and see all the sights
 While MT. Carpenters article does not state definitely as to when this plan is to be put into execution. the intimation is that the hotels will be established as soon as the railroad is completed.
 The company is to work in con junction with the transportation com panies and even induce the govern ment to advertise the beauties of the trip over the railroad from the in terior to the coast.

MUST STEM TIDE IN|N|C RATION
 TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Dec. F. - Warn ing against threatened migration of the populations of western Asia to the United States is contained in the annual report Of Commissioner Gen eral Anthony Caminetti of the i'm migration service. just made public The war and conditions immediately after its close will stay the stream for time, but steps to head it off must be taken before transportation interests begin to cull the field for the business. the report declares.
 Immigration from the far Orient too is a problem still unsolyed. the report sets forth. The systems here tofore devised to deal with it does not promise much improvement, and ma chinery for enforcement of the Chi nese exclusion act is not adequate or we'll adapted. 1t says. Arrangements for the admission of Japanese. it Is declared. should be amended to fiji conditions better.
 The Chinese exclusion law" says the report, should be so modified as to make use of the same administra- tive methods and means as are em- ployed in enforcing the general immi grafton law; and the Japanese ar engagement should be so changed as to eliminate therefrom those excep- tions that have a tendency to broaden as to reduce materially the efficiency of the other fairly satisfactory plan.
 Hindu immigration. which would be permitted more freely under a recent supreme court decision. will be taken care of in the Burnett immigration bill pending in congress.

EFT FOR TS MADE REDUCE HIGH
 COST LIVING

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. - Efforts 10 reduce the cost of living through increased production and better distri- oitbun of the country's foods are de tailed in the annual report of Secre- tary Houston, of the department of az cirulture. The report also devotes considerable attention to the pure food law and urges on congress the need of strengthening it to permit stand ardization of foods and drugs and in spection of food and drug factories.
 Records of the department, the re port sets forth, show that except meat and dairy products the per capita pro- duction of the leading food communi- ties in the United States has remained about the same despite the rapid growth of population Statistics pre- scented cover a period of sixteen years. The population has increased in that time B per cent. There is ground for optimism, the report says, as to the ability of the nation not only to supply itself with food, but increasingly to meet the needs of the world.
 One of the principal aims of the de partment has been to increase meat production. The report shows a steady growth since 1913 in the output of beef and an advance in the number of swine every year since 1899. More extensive sheep raising is recommen- ded as source of food It is pointed out that only one farm in seven in the United States now supports sheep. Fifty million sheep. it is said, could be added to the country's flocks.
 Stabilizing production is recommen- ded as one of the greatest agricultural needs in producing food crops suffi- cient to meet demands. This can be accomplished best, the report points out, through better adapted or i'm proved crop varieties, more systemat ic and rational crop rotation and i'm proved agricultural practice generally. In many parts of the country more at tention to live stock production is es sentiai to enduring and economical agriculture, the report declares.

FUEL SUPPLY AT FAIRBANKS |S
 SERIOUS

With the weather severe, fifty de Fairbanks faces the most serious fuel situation in its history. The North ern Commercial Company. which fur nishes heating for the greater part of the business section of the town, which also furnishes pressure for the municipal water system and also fur nishes light and power, and which an nually uses 5000 cords of wood, had only forty cords in the yards.
 All the wood on hand is ten miles from Fairbanks and conditions are so that the wood men can only haul one load per day during the extreme weather which has been in progress for the past week.
 Teamsters refuse to go to the woods and several hundred houses are fac, ing serious problems
 Those who have a few sticks are un. able to induce the wood sawyers to work, so that these people, including professional and business men, are forced to resort to the buck saw.
 Unless the cold let's up within the next few days. there is certain to be great deal of suffering.
 With billions of tons Of coal in the Nenana coal fields. the absolute ne cessity of completing the government railroad from Fairbanks to the coal fields during the season of 1917 ts more than ever emphasized.
 Thomas Riggs, Jrp said that if the appropriation asked of congress thlF session becomes available upon the passage of the act and not at the first of the next fiscal year. trains will be running to the coal fields next Go tober.
