into Porto Rico from the United States
amounted to $4,000, 900 and exports to-
tailed approximately $4,000. 900, which
left a balance OF trade of $1,000, 900.
These figures show that Porto Rico ex-
ports are about SOS per capita. Imports
In 1917 from the United States exceeded
those of Hawaii by almost 100000
and were double the imports Of the Phil
ippine Islands.
Commercial relations between the
United States and Porto Rico have
bright future and the field is a splendid
one for American merchants and manu-
facturers to cultivate. 1t should always
be kept in mind, however, that fair
treatment and a sound business policy
must be maintained to eliminate any
possible misnterpretatlon OF American
business methods, thereby preventing the
possibility OF foreign competition.
THE possibilities OF Porto Rico are
unlimited. Geographically It Is a natu-
raj port of call for oceanwise traffic be-
tween Europe and America and the
Panama Canal. The possibility OF maxi
ing the harbor of San Juan a free port
would be extremely advantageous to the
island.
Alphabetically Porto Rico has vast
potentialities. The island has approx
mately 100000 acres OF land adapted
to cultivation. Modern methods OF ir-
rigation would result in increased pro-
duction and development OF the agri-
cultural resources. OF the farm prod
ucts sugar maintains a place of first
Importance. More than 256.0O0 acres
are employed in growing this product,
while coffee. with 100000 acres under
cultivation, comes second. Fruits. corn
beets. beans and sweet potatoes utilize
about $1,000 acres
'All in ALL concluded Mr.. Andruss
Porto Rico is on Arm economic foot
ing. Business men there are especially
interested in American products and the
general public is In an excellent posi-
ton to buy. American merchants and
manufacturers entering tho Porto Rican
field will find much to interest them"

Kar Thiele, well known trader at ASiak, on the Kuskokwim, passed through Seward on the Ad- miral Farragmt, and while here he confirmed the rumor current that Big Bill Davis, a former well known Cleary creek operator, died on his way out from his trading post on ;he lower Kuskokwim last fall.
 Big Bill male a substantial for tune on Cleaw; later made an ex- tensiYe world tour and wound up in Fairbanks with a lot of travel ex- perience but very short of cash. Later he went into the Koyukuk and spent a couple Of seasons there, but did no particular good for himself and left for the Iditarod section in 1910.
