 February 15, 1917.
 A marked advance in the conner cla. ...e. ..:.:...:.aI progress of the Ter ritory is shown in this report of com merce and customs for the calendar year 1916. the total commerce having reached the unprecedented value of nearly one hundred and twenty million dollars. Greater production from nat ural resources is the chief element of increase although prevailing higher prices oi the principal product commo- dities and receipts of merchandise from the United States, likewise af- fected, enter largely into the cause.
 The importance of the different sec tions of the Territory covered by the judicial divisions has changed in the year. The southern section, or Third Division, owing to the greatly increas- ed 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 settlement and development of the adjacent country, takes first ,,1, i'm rrndt1afinu f,I trade occurred in each of the other divisions, the most important being the First.
 The gain in imports of merchandise from foreign ports is due to resump- tion of copper ore shipments from the Yukon Territory through Skagway to British Columbia the increased ex- ports. by the exportation of ore from the copper mines in the First Division to the same destination.
 IMPORTS FOB 1916
 Merchandise from U. s. $30,S34, 793
 from Foreign ports 1,544,182 Gold and Silver from Foreign

 During the year several large ship ments of supplies, construction mater lals and operating appliances were re ceived by the government railroad re- garding which no definite information was received at this office and the val ue of the same is not obtainable Could it have been added to the imports the fotal commerce would be materially n reased

Tuesday, between Starkweather and
Egeland. How much longer are we
going to put up with this sort of bust

fully realized as the various phases of
the situation are revealed.
The question of food production is
paramount in its Importance and the
coordination of every possible force
by the administration is sufficient evil
dence of the serious view taken by the
men who are closest in touch with
the vital facts
The South is being called upon to
feed itself, something it has not
done since the Sixties, and every
Southerner finds himself faced by an
Individual responsibility in this par
ticular matter.
In the consumption of wheat alone,
the South must either economic con-
siderably, Or by its disregard of the
warnings now being issued, constitute
o distinct menace to the successful
outcome of the great war.
The exact situation in which the ma
ton finds itself, as far as the pro-
duction and consumption of wheat is
concerned, is clearly defined in the
| following excerpt from the New York
Times:
ut is estimated that in the coming
crop year our allies in Europe will
need 5O0,O00,O0O bushels of wheat in
addition to their domestic supply.
They have been looking to this coun-
try for half of this quantity, and
250, 100000 bushels would not be far
| from the annual average of our ex-
lperts to them since the beginning of
the war A majority of recent reports
from wheat fields of other countries
have been unfavorable, and in Great
|
Britain and France acreage has been
reduced Will it be possible for us to
isend 250,000,000 bushels to our war
partners on the other side of the
Atlanta? Not unless we consent to a
sharp decrease of the quantity con-
sumed at home In normal times we
use about 620,000,000 bushels for food
ard seed. Last years. crop was 640,-
100000 and only the quantity carried
over from a great yield in the preced-
ing year has permitted the exports
which were needed abroad. When the
new harvest comes there will be none
left to be carried over, for shipments
at the current rate will exhaust the
foreseen, We are to have this year
from the winter-sown fields only $685.
100000 bushels against last years
4S1, 100000 Last year there were
I59,O0000O bushels in the spring
states, and it does not seem reason
able to expect more than 25O,000,00
this year, although everybody is hop
ing that the output will be larger. If
the crop be 616,000,O00 bushels, there
will be only enough to satisfy our or
binary food demand and for seed. I'm
less we consent to use less wheat, very
little of the crop can be spared for our
allies"
