COttOnSced and Its Products.
This industry has had a remark
able development during recent
years. The value OF products made
from seed grown in 1915 was near
" three and three-fourths times as
great as the corresponding value for
1900; and during the same period
the quantity of seed crushed in
creased by "a per cent. although the
amount produced was not much
greater in the later year than in the
earlier.
OF a total of 100000 tons Of
seed produced in 1915. 4,2O2.313
tons. or 81 per cent-a greater pro-
portion than that shown for any
preceding year-were crushed. The
value OF crude cOttonseed produces
manufactured during the season of
1915-16 amounted to s1SO,26O. 600.
Of which sum $S7,94O,0 600 was con-
tributed by cottonseed oil. $53,S60,-
600 by cake and meal, $26,12O.O00
by liners. and 2.34O,OOO by hulls
The quantity of each product except
linters represented a decrease as
compared with the preceding year.
but the total value, as well as the
value of each product, except cake
and meal. showed an increase.
The production of linters in 1915
showed an increase of over eight
per cent as compared with that of
1914, Notwithstanding the great re-
duction in the size of the cotton
crop. During recent years there
has been a great Increase in the
output of linters. due in part TO the
closer delnting Of the seed for the
better separation OF the meat from
the hulls The increase during the
past season however, occurring as
IL did in connection with a marked
increase in the cotton crop may be
attributed TO the high price of lin
ters, which are i'm great demand for
use in the manufacture Of explo-
sives. Some mills now obtain more
than $50 pounds of linters per ton
of seed treated. whereas formerly
few obtained as much as 80 pounds.
y greater proportion Of the seed
from the 1915 crop was delinted
than of that from any former crop,
some of the seed used for planting
even being passed through the ma
chimes.

TASTE FOR CHOCOLATE
CONTINUES TO GROW

A growing fondness for chocolate
and cocoa is indicated in the greatly
increased imports Of crude cocoa in
10 the United states during the last
fiscal year According 10 statistics
compiled by the bureau OF foreign
and domestic commerce. of the de-
partment of commerce, 81 total of
243,232,000 pounds were purchased
abroad during the fiscal year. 1915.
which is 5O,OOO,OOO pounds more
than was bought in 1915 and double
the imports OF 1910. This is not 70
be accounted for by decreased i'm
ports Of manufactured cocoa and
chocolate, because We are buying
such products in about the usual
quantities. Nor IS il because we are
shipping abroad larger quantities Of
prepared cocoa and chocolate. 1t is
due solely 20 a growing taste for
chocolate and cocoa, especially the
former
A most pleasing feature Of the
growing trade is the fact that some
OF the producing countries are now
shipping to the United States direct
instead Of through European mid
dlemen. One instance in 1916 was
a direct shipment Of 25 million
pounds from British West Africa,
imports from which country hereto
fore reached the United States via
England. There were marked in
creases in shipments from Brazil.

sharp decline I'm those from the

LUMP COAL
 TAKES JUMP
 IN ITS PRICE Dealers Give An ExpIana- ton of Why They Have Been Forced to
 Raise. PROTESTS UNAVAILING Have Been Informed That They Are Lucky to Get Coal in Any
 Old Shape.
PROTESTS UNAVAILINC

Coal prices for screened coal in Juneau have taken another sharp ad- vance and screened coal will now cost $13.50 delivered, instead of $1250 as formerly. Prices on mine run coal will remain the same.
 When seen today R. R. Young, of the Pacific Coast Coal Company and Ritter Company said
 For over a month we have been receiving coal from the mine, that instead of being screened lump, is nothing more than the straight run of the mine, and after being handled from ships into the bunkers con tains over 50 per cent. screenings This means that to screen out a ton for customer at least two tons must be thrown over the screen besides handling the screenings again. Then there is loss to be sustained by selling these screenings for several dollars ton less than cost Our protests against paying a high price for this grade of coal has resulted in being told that we are mighty lucky to get any coal at all and if we do not care for it there are lots of others who will be glad to get it and we can do with out.
 This conditions not only exists in Juneau but with dealers in all Alaska towns.
 We have also been notified that there will be no Naniamo coal avail able at the mine after November 10th for 30 days. Fortunately all dealers are now filled to capacity SC there is no danger whatever of a shortage during this period.
 "The public is cordially invited to call at our bunkers and see for themselves the class of coal being received, and the increased cost to screen it."

CHISANA TO BE
 NEXT BIC CAMP
 SAYS RESIDENT
Alaska Pioneer Thinks That a Great Placer Country Will Be
 Developed.

That the Chisana is the coming gold placer mining district of the North is the conviction of James w. McDonald who has been in that country for over three years. and who has been in Juneau for a week or more MT Mcdonald owns claims No and No. on Gold Run in that district, and has pros pected in the region probably more than any other one person.
 MT. Mcdonald came to Juneau to consult with Cen w. P. Richard son and the other members of the Alaska Board of Road Commission CTS concerning roads for the Chis ana section. ..
 ''I do not base my contention that the Chisana is the coming placer gold district of Alaska on the wealth of Bonanza, Eldorado, Big Eldorada and Gold Run, the creeks of known value, though they are all good. base it more particularly on the in dications of gold in the country on the other side of the saw-tooth mountains that divide the country and is the source of Bonanza and other creeks
 MT. Mcdonald spent three months of the present year prospecting the country on the other side of the range from his Gold Run properties and he bases his statement on the results of what he saw.
 This is MT. McDonalds second trip out from the Interior since he went in there more than 20 years ago. Before coming to this country he was engaged in mining in Inyc and Tulare counties in California He came north at the request oi Charles Lamb, one of the early Klondike mine owners. He engaged in mining and prospecting in the Klondike and on the American side of the line.
 When going to the Klondike MT Mcdonald stopped at Juneau and purchased his outfit here, going from here to Dyea on the old Seolin. He stopped at the old Circle City Ho tel at that time and when he re turned to Juneau he went back to that old hostelry.
 The Alaska Board of Road Com missioners granted MT. Mcdonald his request for a road appropriation for the Chisana district.
