ADD SEVERAL ID ROLL:
 PLAN RALLY SOON

Five new names were added to the membership roll of the Nenana Republican club at the regular semi monthly meeting held last night in the Union building, and increased interest in the organization encour- ages the belief that substantial additional increase in membership may be expected during the next several weeks. The Republicans are very active throughout the Terri. tory already, and it is believed there will be considerable activity locally during the next few weeks and throughout the remainder of the year.
 i For the purpose of stimulating local interest in politics and cam paign issues, the local club will hold a rally at an early date, which will be addressed by well-known Repub- lican speakers of Fairbanks and Ne mana. The secretary was instructed at last nights meeting to communi- cate with Territorial Committeeman Thomas A. Marquam, informing him of the clubs plans and inviting him to be present, with such other speak CTS as he chooses to bring with him. It is possible that he will be accom- panied by Representative ). B. Col lins and Attorney Cecil H. Clegg. A communication from George Hazlet, of Cordova, was read at the meeting, the letter informing the 1 club of Mir. Hazlet's appointment as a member of the Republican com- mittee which will make recommcnda- tions and suggestions for the Re- publican platform to be adopted at the forthcoming national convention. The local club is urged to assist in offering suggestions for an Alaskan plank. Another communication was re- ceived from the Cordova Republican club, announcing the endorsement ] of Ha@!et for delegate to the na- tional convention, and asking that similar action be taken by the local ! club. Both communications were laid on the table for future consid- eration.
 i At meeting of the club held two weeks ago it was decided to admit Republican ladies to membership, and last night the club voted to ad- init them without the payment of : the regular membership fee

Argentina Firms Fear Former Ger man Vessels Ownership May Be Questioned By |. :.

Buenos Aires. Feb. 2.---Ann0unce- inS of the former German steamer Bahia Blanca for the United States has been postponed until February q s d result of demands hy some firms that before loading their cargo they should be guaranteed by the Argen- tina government that the ship would reach her destination

SEEK BUSINESS IN
 SOUTH AMERICA
Italy, France and Sweden Open Steamship Lines to These
 Southern Ports.

Valparaiso, Feb. 2.-Italy, France and Sweden have taken steps to- open south American markets by eStab- fishing steamship lines to Chilean ports. One Italian steamship com pany. composed of the Transatlantica ltaliana and the Naciona1 de Navi- Gacion, already has sent two steam CTS to Chile by the Panama route. It tends to add ten more steamers to the line making total of six pas senger and six freight vessels which will voyage alternately by the Straits Of Magellan and the Panama canal
 The government of Chile has agreed to subsidize these ships by payment of E700 for each cargo shipped and 1900 to each passenger and freight vessel.
 More recently the Italian Naviga- tlon com pany has sent to Chile it's steamer La Neloce. The Compagnie GeneraIe Transatlantique announces that direct comm unication will be esta bllShed between Havre and Val paralso by way of Panama by the use or the steamer San Luis The swedish com pany has resumed serV- lce to Chile and there is talk of a Dutch line of steamers from Java by the way of Australia.
 : As result of these activities freights have begun to decline This has Stlm ulated the commerce of all the west coast and especially the ex- portatlon of nitrate and the agricul- tural prod ucts of Chile.

But word has come to us that one person reported temperature of twenty five degrees below at four d. m Sat urday. Had this been in Winsted we should be inclined to believe but that temperature in New Britain is ex- tremely unusual.
 All of this is by the way, however, The point is that MT, Groundhog has retired to his winter. quarters satis- fled that he need but take the short est of maps to sleep the cold weather out.

INCREASE IN EXPORTS,

The National City Bank, of New ports from Europe by the United States for the year 1919 with the ex- ception of the month of December, figures for which are not yet avail ble. It's findings are that q sur prisingly large value in goods import ed were received. and that the mcr. chandise increase is largely in Iuxur- ies.
 The imports for the time mentioned were $653. 3.379.O00. from Europe. Dur ing eleven months of 1918 they were $292, 454 900. The estimated 1919 figures will approximate $75O,O00,OOO a larger total than any year since 1914. The imports from the Central Powers. during 1918 were. Germany, sS,OOO.OOO. Austria H un gary. S2.OcO,- 900 and Turkey. S13.OO0.0OO.
 The bulk of the increase of $36O.- 000,OO0 in our imports comes from the three active participants in the upon the allied side. Great Brit ain. France and Italy. England sent to us, in eleven months. $267. 900. 900. France s1O7,O00,OO0. Italy $52,OOO.- 900 in total trade. In eleven months of 1919 the most active of the allies have sent to us Si26,OOO.OO0 in trade against $219, 100000 in 1918. an ad- vance of nearly 100 per cent.
 
 made up largely by luxuries Cot tons. Iaccs and enbroiderics. dia- monds. art works. olive oil. furs and pearls. figure largely in the list. India rubber and olive oil. which may not be placed in this classification are on the list of increases. Great Britain is succeeding in opening up her rub Der trade again, making source of production from her colonies which will be appreciated in the United States.
 The fact that imports are picking up. particularly imports from the na- tions which have borrowed huge sums of money from the United States is an encoura gine indication of the eventual rise in price Of foreign ex- changes. The Cnited States. in acting as banker has placed large credits broad and goods, delivered here. will ultimately pay the bills. We are still working on the wrong side of the ledger, though. as our exports are large, and the money 10 pay for them Is not at high rate of exchange.
 The -discouraging factor in the sit uation is that Europe, with a few ex- ceptions is supplying nothing bat what may be classified as luxuries She has not the facilities for sending us what we really need and what her debt to us. Taking our pay in pearls diamonds and fine raiment is not putting food into our mouths nor making living conditions more favor In exchange for food and for the loan of our money We are accepting things of great value. possibly, but of no real use.
 The time is coming. though. when the worAmen of Europe will strike their full production stride and will demand less of us while they will probably be able to send articles of food and wear to us. At that time exchange will approach normal.
