VANDERBILT WRITES OF ALASKA

Writing to the New York Times from and about Seattle, Cornelius Van derbilt, Jr., member of the wealthy Vanderbilt family of New York, speak ing of what Alaska has done for Seat tie, gives us the following very ac- curate summary:
 In 1918 Seattle got its first real start upward. The phrase billions in free gold in Alaska" was the byword of the country at the time. In the days of '98 Seattle jumped from a harbor post to bustling city. The broad harbor was filled with hundreds of little craft bound for "Eldorado." Those were days when men, women and children went on boats with horsees and mules any means by which they could get north. They fought wind and water and gold to make the trip to Dawson, Fairbanks, the Yukon, the Iditarod, or to the 'golden sands of Nome. Through Seattle poured throngs of goldseekers. Men and boys from every station in life who had staked their all on getting free gold from Alaska, outfitted here.
 Today saw wheat which was grown il Alaska above the Arctic circle, thirty bushels to the acre. I saw Al aska strawberries, twelve of which would fill a quart jar. Vegetables which would make Fasteners jealous and even the middle west feel compe titiOn, are on exhibition in the Arctic club here in Seattle. Today Seattle is thinking of Alaska agriculturally as well as in the old terms of gold and fish.
 There is monument to William Seward in one of the parks here It was he who dared to brave the pub lie sentiment and buy Alaska at a cost of about 2 cents an acre. At that time it was familiarly nicknamed "Uncle's Sam's Ice Chest" Tn 1918 Alaska's imports totaled $3S,957, ,259 Her exports were $7O,659,OSO This means total Alaska trade of more than $109,OOO,OOO. Since 1867 Alaska has shipped out more than $3111 ,O0O, 900 in gold and other products, such as whalebone, oil and fish. The lat ter alone were worth $413,OOO, 900. Al aska has also sent through Seattle $84,000,000 in furs in the last fifteer years
 AThe state of Washington has enough coal to last 900 years at the present rate of consumption. For the last few years the mines within a radius of fifty miles of Seattle have produced 100000 tons annually. Lum Der shows another huge increase This port stands on what was once an al most impenetrable forest. Today it is a great numbering center and Puget sound timber goes to the Seven Seas Within radius of 100 miles there are 65,000 men in the lumber industry.
 Fish have also helped Seattle to be. come a great city. The annual catch in Puget sound and the by ways of Alaska is said to be greater than that of any other city in the country.

Great success consists largely in doing the things that can't be done. People don't care much how you live as long as you don't agitate them.

MEXICO OIL RESERVOIR
 OF WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Washington, Sept. 12.-Mexico prom ises to become the oil reservoir of the western hemisphere, the department of commerce declared today in a review of the petroleum industry in the southern republic. With increased consumption in the United States likely to exhaust pro- ducing fields in this country within twenty or twenty-five years, Mexico, the statement said, offers the most encour- agement to the American oil industry, for both present production and geographical situation"
 Exhaustion of 40 per cent. of the pro- ducing fields of tine United States, the de- partment's review stated has caused Mexico to take second place in oil pro- duction, although only about 12 per cent. of the potential capacity of Mexican wells Is being actually produced.
 Development of the Me xican oil fields . however, is only in it's infancy. the review lstates, adding that of the 23I250 square i miles of territory believed to contain oil deposits not more than 800 square miles Are being exploited. Curtailment of pro- 'auctfon is ascribed by the department to lack of transportation and storage facili. l ties and to the unsettled political situa. | ton.
 Of the sS50, 900, 900 estimated to be in. vested in the Mexican oil industry. in. cluding s50,000 900 in tankers. about 7C per cent represents American capital the review says, about 27 per cent is Britisl

 can and other interests. Twenty-sever

 seventeen of which are American owned five Spanish-American, three Dutch ant

 The United States received T per cent of the oil exported during the first sil
 months of 1920.
