BREATH CATCHING FIGURES

The Amer balance of trade is greater than her entire exports for any year prior to 1914 by OOOO0oOOO It is nearly times great in the best year before the advent of the Wilson administration. is than 75 per cent. greater than the entire exports of the German Empire the United Kingdom for the best year in their histories.
 Americas exports for the year were $6,200,219, 805. This three times the value of Germany's ex ports when Kaiserism in flower and more than thrice as great the United Kingdoms best record
 Our exports and imports, the total value of our foreign trade for the year, reached almost nine bill lion dollars-twice the United Kingdoms Ger many's best days
 It is difficult to grasp the full significance of these figures. They that the United States now has a greater foreign trade than the German Empire and the United Kingdom combined in their greatest and pamiest days. They not only that the United States has taken first place among the Ma tions of the world in trade and industry and finance, but she has taken place far ahead of that ever occupied by any other country that business activi- ties of former days insignificant

GOOD NEWS, THIS

 Since the report received few days ago to the effect that Secretary Lane had advised the curtament of work account of the increasing cost of materials spirit of gloom has prevailed and even the most optimistic admitted that the future didn't look as rosy as it might Assurance that the work will be continued in spite of the relieves us of load of anxiety and disappointment.
 To discontinue the work at this stage of the project would be disastrous, not only from a loss of the funds disbursed here monthly for payrols and supplies but because it would indefinitely delay completion of the road which is to mean so much to Fairbanks and Interior Alaska
 And the that the work is not to be suspended is received with great joy here and rightly so and everyone will now be able to face the future with cheerful spirit.
