Between 1892 and 1902 the Govern ment imported l2s0 reindeer into AL aska for the use of the Alaska natives. The natural increase from the original nearly 20O.000 besides which amount 100000 have been killed for food and skins. Of these about So per cent ne- long to the natives. i per cent to the missions. 23 per cent to I.apla nders and other whites, and 3 per cent a"e still in government ownership.
 There is company at Nome which engages in raising reindeer for the p1arket. Their herd now includes nearly 10000 animals. and they have 3 cold storage plants in operation and more in construction. Shipments of

Findings aud Recommendations Water Transportation

Alaska is served by three oce m transportation systems; the Alaska Steamship Company and Pacific Steamship Company being American lines. and the Canadian Pacific being q Canadian company. The flask, Steamship Company serves all main sections of the Territory. the Pacific Steamship Company all sections ev, ceptlng the Bering Sea or Nome route, and the Canadian Pacific Company on- ly Southeastern Alaska ar inside pass- age Dorts.

Whether these late increase have been justi- fled was not inquired into lv the Com an expert examination of the com. ranys operating costs and property valuations. could not be undertaken n the brief time allowed for the Commit tees Investigations. The Committee therefore attempted only to ascertain whether the Territory could develop under existing rates.

 The National Forests are estimated by the Forest Service to include 7S.- 0OO.0O0,000 feet (BM of timber suit able for lumber and pulp. The annual production of timber is relatively small. but the proportion of timber cut from the National Forests, as compared with lumber imported, is steadily increasing. In 1916 the lum- Der shipped into Alaska composed S3 per cent. as compared with 14 per cent cut from National Forests. In 1919 the proportion was exactly reversed S6 per cent being produced locally and IA per cent imported. chiefly Douglas fir for heavy construction purposes.

 In 1919, a5 American vessels (net tonnage 32,44D and Canadian ves- sels (net tonnage 4.S7O) were operated as common carriers to Alaska ports These carried 2S5.49O tons of freight and 32,SO3 passengers northbound and 27S.199. tons of freight and 3l,7l7 pass engers southbound.

Principal Rseommendati tions

The canvass of tn. Alaska situa. ton leads the Committee to m.kc many recommendation for tae im- Trcvement of indus. 'inl conditions wi:l.in the Territory and these are fully set forth in later sections of this report. The most important and ur- gent of these recommendations are briefly stated as follows:
 1. Lowering of ocean freight and passenger rates and improvement of transportation and mail service thru economies introduced by combinat tion of two existing steamship lines into one.
 ?. Concentration and coordination of federal control of Alaska lands and resources by obtaining legislative au- thority for an Alaska Development Botfrd. and. pending this. by the ap- pointment of an Inter- Departmental Alaska Committee.
 8. Coordination of federal road con. struction. and the development of a plan for a comprehensive system ot roads and trails to serve the entire Territory. Also the requesting of an appropriation of at least one million dollars for the inauguration of this system.
 4. Investigation of the commercial feasibility of smelting Alaska copper ores within the Territory.
 5. The immediate development of an Alaska pulp-wood industry. and ad- dittonal surveys of timber and wate, power looking to the largest possible development of this industry.

REPORT OF THE ALASKA ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Introduction

The Alaska Advisory Committee. made up of representatives of the In : terior. Postofiice and Agricultural de- partments. was appointed by and at the request of Hon. John Barton Payne. Secretary of the Interior: its purpose being to advise the Secretary of the Interior as to what immediate steps can be taken to better conditions In Alaska. what industries can be de- veloped. and resources exploited to give employment to a resident poDnla-
 ..n which. in turn. will give a horie market for Alaska products.
 The Committee has examined lar. ], mass of l.;a bearing npon Ala.ka in the files of the various Government departments. including the reco:ds and hearings of several previous Alaska investigations. Informal conferences were also held in Seattle with many persons interested in the development Of Alaska. Including mining. canning. timber. transportation. and commer- cial interests. as well as representa- lives of the Alaskan Engineering Com
 partments. About a month was de- voted to the inquiry. and the report and recommendations of the Commit- tee follows, the arrangement being CD summary of most important recom- mendations. @ brief statements of the industrial conditions in Alaska. and (S) detailed recommendations arranged by topics.

industrial Conditions and Resource,
 Population

The white population of Alaska. ss.o00 in 1910. increased by 1915 to about s0,0oo. From 1915 to 1918. ow- ing to war conditions. the population declined, but In 1919 the tide set northward again and there was a slight increase. which will probably continue In 1920. The present white population of the Territory is estimas- ed to be s6.000. in addition to about 26.000 natives. some of whom are civil ised. The industrial population of the Territory exceeds 10000. The loss in population during the period of the war was due to-(D men entering the military service. estimated ta num- her 5000.

Mining

Alaska mines have produced miner- als to the total value of $43s, ,OO0, 900. of which $311 1.0OO, 900 is the value of the gold output. In 1914, $l9,066. .OOo worth of minerals were produced; in 1919, $l9.7OO.000. During the war there was an abnormally large output Of copper. which in 1916 brought the val. ue of the total mineral output up to $4s. .637 900.
 Alaska gold mining. like that of the rest of the world. has been curtailed because of economic conditions impos- ed by the war. As a consequence the value of the Alaska gold output has steadily declined from $l7.242. 900 in 1916 to about $9.55o.OO0 in 1919. Gold mining has long been the principal AL askan industry. for though it has em- ployed far less men than the fisheries. Yet the prospectors and miners, unlike the fishermen. were all permana residents of the Territory. In the past over 60 per cent of the population has been directly or indirectly en- ployed by the gold mining industry. Therefore the decline in gold mining has been the principal cause of Alas ka's loss of population and the dis couragement of her residents. In 1916, 4,ooo men were engaged in placer min ing; in 1919 only 2.OoO. A revival of eold mining would undoubtedly great. ly increase the prosperity of the Ter ritory.
 The total placer production in AL aska has a value, of $21s. s.0O0, ,0OO. Much of this has been won from the rich bonanza deposits whose exploitation requires little capital. It Is not i'm possible that other rich placers Will be found. but the only certain reserves of placer gold are in the extensive de- posits of auriferous gravels containing comparatively small gold values. These must be exploited by mechanical meth ods involving large investments. In- cluded in the reserves only the aurifer. ous gravels of which some test has been made and which are believed to carry enough gold to warrant exploita- tion under pre-war economic condt- tons. the Geological Survey estimates that the Alaska placer gold reserves have a value of between $24O. .OOO, ,OOo and sss0. .000. 900.
 Alaska gold lode mining in the past has been chiefly based on large low grade deposits of the Juneau district, whoss profitable exploitation has been posssble only by very large operations. The enormously increased cost of min ing. owing to the present economic coHditions. has greatly curtailed min. ing at Juneau.
 The most promising present field for Alaska gold lode mining Is, in the ex- ploitation on a small scale of the auri- ferrous lodes of higher gold tenor which have been found in many localities, no tably in the Willow Creek and Fair- banks districts. Geologic inforna- ton Indicated a wide distribution of aurIferous deposits. and there is every reasm to believe that other workable dsposits q su,d-bearing quarts win 'ns developed when the country is openad up by mllroads and waeosf reads.

PEORIA, Dec. IA match care lessly thrown in the cotton as it was coming out of the conveyor caused a fire at the Mccall gin at Peoria Thurs day which made considerable excite ment and some damage.
 The flames in the conveyor mount ed with almost lightning-like speed and in a second the whole upper part of the gin appeared to be afire So quick was the blaze that it was dis covered by outsiders before the men working in the lower part of the gin were aware of the fire. The blaze was extinguished with chemicals.

were willing to consider and adopt during the past year. As an example of what crop variation means, I can give you the following example,:
 "One day last week a client informed us that he had S2,000 to loan and as we generally have to solicit outside for our loans, 1 asked him how it happened that he had come to us with such a request.
 Diversified farming he replied. I own 12O acres of good land that is all clear. I put 50 acres in cotton last April. I plowed up some good alfalfa to do it. Forty acres I left in alfalfa and the rest I put in pasture and sileage crops. When the farmers near me were selling their dairy cows last spring that they might have more room for cotton I bought as good a herd of cows as l could find. Every month have had a substantial butter, fat check to my account; I have sold almost $1,- 900 worth of hogs and my barns are
