UNIDENTIFIED MAN
 IS FOUND DEAD IN
 ROOM OF LODGING

The body of a man, who has not as yet been identified, was iiscoy- cred this morning lying on the floor of the Golden North Rooming house on lower Front street by Mildred Soderquist. The coroner was al once notified and a jury empaneled. They examined the premises and then adjourned until late this af- ternoon, at which time the inquest will be continued.
 Miss SoderQust was unable 10 throw any light on the identity of the man. She stated that this morning at II o'clock she looked into the room to see if it was emp ty as she wished to make it up, and discovered the man lying on the floor. When she attempted to rouse him, she discovered that he was dead.
 So far nothing leading to a dis closure of his identity has been found. All Miss SoderQuist knew about the man was the fact that he came there last night in an in. toyicated condition and rented a room. After he started to bed he was not seen again until found this morning. The body is at C. w.. Young's Undertaking Parlors.

Marked Advance Is Shown in Industrial and Commercial Progress
 of the North.
THIRD DIVISION FIRST
Other Sections of the North All Show Big Increase for the
 Past Year.

The report of Customs Collector U. F. Pugh for the year 1916, re- | leased for publication yesterday has many items of interest incorporated, The report in part says:
 A marked advance in the indus
 trial and commercial progress of the
 Territory is shown in this report fOC commerce and customs for the Cal- |endar year 1916, the total com- |merCe having reached the unprecc- dcuted value of nearly one hundred land twenty millions of dollars. Greater production from natural re- sources is the chie' clement Of the l increase although prevailing higher prices of the principal product conl- moditics and receipts of merchandise from the United States, likewise af- frcted. enter largely into the cause
 The importance of the different sections of the Territory covered by the judicial divisions has changed this year. The southern section, or Third Division, owing to the great Iy increased production of it's copper mines and fisheries as well as larger receipts of merchandise from the United States incident to railroad construction and resulting settle moDt and development of the adia- cent country. takes first place. An increase in production and trade oc- cured in each of the other divis- ions. the most important being the First.
 Tho gain in imports of merchan- disc from foreign ports is due to re- sumption Of copper ore shipments from the Yukon Territory through Skagway to British Columbia, the in- creased exports, by the eNportatiOn ot ore from the copper mines in the First Division to the same destin- ution.
 During the year, several large shipments or supplies. construction materials and operating appliances were received by the government railroad regarding which no de- finite information was received and the value of the same is not obtain able. Could it have been added Co lhc imports the total commerce would have been materially increased.
 Within the past year the balance of trade in favor of the Territory has increased from twenty-seven to fifty millions of dollars and the val ne Of its products from fifty to sey- CEty millions of dollars.
 A compilation of estimates cover ing the shipments of Alaska products from the year 1868 to 1908 and au- theDtic reports of the office from the latter tO the present year inclusive present the following results: Sea and fur products. $32$,O42,290 l AIiues and minerals. co. 345.752.11I
