AMERICAN BANKERS IN
 SCANDINAVIAN MARKET

COPENHAGEN, March 1 Gore spondence of the Associated Press).- Representatives of many American banking and commercial institutions recently have arrived here because of the growing interest in Copenhasen as the center of business between Scandinavian countries and the United States.
 A number of important American exporting companies are establishing their chief European offices in Copen- hagen, and the greatest interest is being taken by the press and people in their enterprises.
 "The free port of Copenhagen is of the greatest interest to the United States said B. B. Filsinger of St. Lawrence county, New York, mot only because it is important to the export trade to Scandinavia, but because 1t is going to be virtually the gateway to Russia, Germany, Poland and other countries. Copenhagen, believe, will be able to compete with Hamburg, if indeed Hamburg will ever again be as important as it was before the war. We Americans want intimate connec- tion with the Scandinavian market, and if we can conquer that market we will be able to compete with any other exporters."-

absolute franknesst requires an OBJ
server TO see In many respects that
conditions are not desirable from an
economic standpoint. We are ac-
cursed with bonanza farming. If Una
tilia county had a family on every half
Isection of its wheat lands, the city
would have a population of 10000
easily. Bonanza farming means that
one man may operate $40 acres or he
may operate 1900 acres. That means
necessarily a sparsely settled country.
The great areas of wheat farms means
that few men are making the prof
its. This is not for the public good

AIaska's Loss in Population.

N~Ns LOSS IN Population.
During the year 1918 there were a
total OF 1927 people to arrive in Alas.
ka, and $2S,s4s to leave, showing a net
loss OF S,522, as against a net loss OF
Ala in 1917. The arrivals in 1917
were 27,7ss with those departing dur
ing that year were 1888.
The net loss in Alaska's population
in the last two years was, therefore,
1866. This does not, of course. take
into account the births and deaths
within the Territory.
Before 1917 there had been a con-
sistent increase in population. In 1914
the increase was 45S; in 1915, 5,7s9!
in 1916, 2,202. This increase was in
spite of decrease in the Second and
Fourth Divisions. 1t was all in the
First and Third Division. These Di-
visions really increased faster and the
Second and Fourth decreased more
than these figures would indicate, be-
cause there was a considerable shift
ing of residences within the Territory
Of which the customs house had no
record.

OUTLOOK FOR
This YEAR IS
VERY BRIGHT

A1aska's total commerce for 1918,
imports and exports, amounted to
s127O49,132, according to the annual
report of Acting Collector of Customs
Charles D. Garfield. This Is a de-
crease of s14,076,33O from the total
for 1917, but exceeds the total for the
next highest year, 1916, by $7,111,6S9.
The total imports were $41,625,56
as against $44,431 800 for 1917, and
$35,314,993 for 1916.
The total exports were $685., 423,56
as against sse,6s3,S62 for 1917, and
$S4,622,450 for 1918.
In explanation of the report and the
decrease in the volume of commerce
for 1918 from that Of the previous
year, Acting Collector Garfield says:
Effect Of War.
"In presenting this report for the
calendar year 1918 attention is called
to the disturbed condition of the whole
country due to the conflict of nations
which retarded the forward stride OF
the Territory of Alaska during that
period. This was to be expected as
the winning of the war demanded the
direction of all forces, in their various
elements, to the greatest endeavor for
that purpose.
Being without munition manufac
turers or shipbuilding our man-power
other than that indicted into the mill
tary service, was attracted by these
industries elsewhere, thus materially
reducing the production of precious
and other metals. Owing to the EN-
ployment of women and children and
a great number of natives, the fisher
les did not suffer so much from this
cause, for by the utilization of every
means at hand with increased speed
the industry was not only maintained
but the output augmented.

for acting discounterousIy toward an

After a lengthy argument on be-

case was of particular Importance be-
cause his client was a cousin of Wis

"The relationship of the defendant

said Lieut.. Hardwick. Testimony
shows Miner was discourteous to an
American officer, which is the point
at issue. Thirty days in Jail for Herr

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Doter-

Gated in press dispatches from Paris,
that no American troops shall CON
tinue on German soil for a longer
period after the signing of the peace
treaty than may be necessary to en-
bark them for home, is borne out by
present plans Of the War Department
which contemplate the return of the
entire American expeditionary forces
by September, Because of this, Gen
eral March, chief of staff, is making
every effort to speed up the demobi-
lization in this country.

Lake States
Now Importing
Much Lumber
(By United Press.l

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Every-
body is asking why the price of paper
is high? A schoolboy's pad that cost
five cents five years ago is now eigh-
teen cents in Washington stores. One
of the answers to this, says the Amer
ican Forestry Association, is because
the center of the timber industry is
rapidly moving to the Pacific Coast.
/ The Great Lakes, once the greatest
of timber producing sections, is now
paying six million dollars a year in
freight bills to bring in timber and
timber products.
"One of the most acute problems
of forest supplies is that of wood
pulp" says Col. Henry S. Graves,
forester of the United States, "Amer-
ican capital" points out Col. Graves"
"is going to Canada to build paper
and pulp mills and new mill develop
ment for news print manufacture in
this country has almost wholly ceas-
ed"
The lesson of China should be a
finger of warning to the people of the
United States, it was pointed out by
the Forestry association. Destructive
floods sweeping over the plains of
China at frequent intervals, causing
millions of dollars of economic loss
and rendering tens of thousands of
people homeless, are the result of a
policy which permitted the cutting
down of most of Chinas forests with
out any provision for new growth.
Few have any conception of the
problem which the Chinese have
brought upon themselves by their de-
struction of these mountain forests
"a result due directly to the COM
plete absence Of government control
of these lands.

Won't Fight
The Bolsheviki
(By United Press.)

BERLIN, April l8.-(By Mail -
Germany will not fight the Russian
bolsheviki, other than to rebel in
Ivasions and to defend her own Dor
ders, according to present indications
The Germans have enough of trying
to drive the bolsheviki back into Rus,
sia, and are eager to make peace with
Lenine.
Rumors that persist about Berlin
and cannot be satisfactorily denied
are that the &c 1nal foreign Office is
more than ready to sign peace with
the bolshevik, but does not do so now
for fear it will be misinterpreted by
the entente Further rumors say that
Count Rantazau has made secret
agreement with the bolshevik to cal
off hostilities, but is waiting until the
peace of Paris is signed, before he
can publicly conclude terms with Le-
nine.
War Minister Noske has announced
publicly that the German armies will
not march against the bolshevik. By
an agreement between the great heac
quarters of the army, the war office
and Noske, the army under Hinden.

Prussian border and will hold the Rus.
slams and Poles off, but will not budgc
a step in offensive warfare. The re.
ported German offensive of late
March was merely to free a German
railway line endangered by the Rus.
slams.
Simultaneous with this announce.
ment came the address Of Lenine be-
fore the Moscow soviet congress, call
ing the bol3hevik to realize that moth
ing was to be gainde by marching
against the Germans, and asking the
congress to call off hostilities. The
congress by large majority sup
ported Lenine's pacific plan.
In Berlin it is thought Count Rant
Eau has arranged the bolshevik peace
/ if such truce exists, through thC
radicals, who have always favored
making peace and living in friendship
with the bolshevik. The radicals
have suddenly come to favor Rantzau
who is staunch pacitist, rs are the
radicals from Hasse down. At any
rate, the war between the Germans
and the bolshevik is off, by mutua
Iagreemcnt.
