more than 5000 in population, and more than 900
greater than for the same period in 1919. All who
in touch with the situation say that this is but
small fraction of those and all predict
that Aaskas permanent net gain this year will be
the largest for several years.
Exactly S,04S steamship passengers left Seattle
Alaska during the first four months of the year,
gain of 1874 compared to the first four months
of 1919, according to figures compiled by the Seat
tie port warden. AS compared to the Northward
of 804S persons, the Southbound move
ment Seattle number PIGS persons, the first
four months, a gain of $3.50 persons for Alaska.
In the first four months of 1919 the Southbound
movement Seattle totaled 2.492 persons com
pared the Northbound movement of 1854, a net
gain of 1852 for the North. Thus the net gain this
year exceeds the net gain last year by 1498 per
Traffic experts of Seattle emphasize the sig
nifcance of the fact that the number of persons
coming from Alaska Seattle this year is than
200 lower than the 1919 record With persons
going North and fewer returning, the tide in its
development is believed have turned sharply.
AS conditions approach nearly normal

The lure of high wages in the States has almost
off. Many old-time Alaskans looking long

before the Sixty-Fifh Congress end and

capital and labor; what be done to insure
industrial peace; not word about finding a solu-
