ALASKA BREAKS RECORD BOTH IN EXPORTS AND IN NEGOTIATIONS Exceeds the Year of 1915 by Total of Thirty
 seven Million
 Dollars. POPULATION IS GROWING FiqureS Show People Are Coming to Territory and Exodus Grows
 Very Low.
POPULATION IS GROWING

The annual report of the Collector of Customs for Alaska, John F, Pugh. was issued today after hay ing been compiled by the officers of the local office and shows that the total value of the exports and i'm ports between Alaska and the Unit ed States and Canada reached the highest point in the history of trans portatiOn to the Territory and ex- ceeded the value of 1915 in imports and exports over $3TO00,O00.
 The value of the exports and i'm ports, according to the report amounted to exactly $1l9,937 443, as compared with SS2,874,122 last year. and S55,Ol2212 in 1910. The value of the imports to Alaska for the year 1916 amounted to S35,- 314.993 while the exports amount ed to $S4,622,45O
 The value of the gold and silver produced in Alaska and shipped to the United States amounted to Sl6,' 332.lI7. This was distributed be- tween the four judicial divisions as follows: First S5,63S,387; Second S3,O35. .63I; Third, $1,523,206, and Fourth. S6,l34,S93. The copper ore shipped from the Territory during the year amounted to 135,2S9,2l9 pounds valued at S35,534,O39. The next largest item in value of pro- duction from the Territory was canned salmon which amounted to 237.764,31O pounds with value ot $21,598,113.
 During the year 1915 the value oi the salmon shipped from the Terri tory was Sl7892,377, while the copper ore was valued at $l2,S54,' 163. The largest previous years ex' ports of canned salmon was in 1914 when the production reached value of S17,9O6,215.
 The increase of the value of tho copper production of the Territory is shown in a comparative table which shows that in 1913 copper valued at S3,765,132 was shipped in 1914 it amounted to $3,365,342 and in 1915 it jumped to S12,354, 163. The exports for the year l9lt amounted to almost twice as much a. all three years combined.
 Another interesting phase of tn report is the movements of the pas sengers on the vessels operating t and from Alaska. The total arrival in the Territory from the south an from Canada were 2S,6O6 while tn departures were 26.859. The ar rivals at Eagle rom IuhOn IeTElIoL, down the Yukon amounted to l,lS while the departures were 727, show ing that the population is on tn constant increase.
 The report issued today is one c the most comprehensive ever issue as it deals with many phases of tn business of Alaska and touches O many things which have never bee before incorporated in any repor The comparative tables in the II port are most comprehensive.

This plan, it is intimated, would suit Representative A. P. Gardner of Massachusetts, the most active of the insurgents against Mann's leadership, only in the event of Democratic control of the House. MT. Gardner desires the complete elimination of Mann, and he does not want him for Speaker. The Mas sachusetts mans friends want Len root for minority leader in case of Democratic control of the House, and for Speaker in case of Republican control. In the latter case they want Gardner for floor leader of the majority.
