Governor Bone Makes Strong Recommendation C Consolidating
 All Bureaus In Alaska

industrial and commercial activities attending the war the Territory es- capped the full measure of reaction ex- perienced in many quarters Of the Union following the war. Neverthe- less, high prices and the unnatural overhead charges produced as the re- suit of war have had and are still imposing most serious effects on all
 industrial activities in Alaska.
 Mining at a profit has been rem dered most difficult and large enter prises have been compelled to close down, or greatly curtail their opera tions. Both quartz and placer mining have been checked by adverse eco. homie conditions. Export statistics for the calendar year will probably show a more marked decrease than the sta tistics for the fiscal year.
 As with mining so it is with the Territorial fisheries, but for a diff, fercnt reason The waters of Alaska were oycrfishcd during the war. Can ucrics yiod with each other in pack ing fish under the governmental spur to stimulate the production of food products. Ovcrsupply al the close of the war and disturbed market coudi- tous affected the industry and sim ulraucousIy the run of salmon was re-. ducod The catch for 1921 i- below that of 1920. which showed large decrease compared with the years im-. mcdiately preceding The marked dc- plction of the fishing catch has occa-. sion somewhat widespread fears of the destruction of the salmon in- dustry, but there is reinsurance in the fact th2t similar fears entered as long ago as 1907. which found expression in public message. were not real ized and the salmon industry devel-I oped amazingly in the years ensuing However, it is of the utmost import ance to conserve this wonderful indus. try along the Alaska shores and to| prevent wastful methods and means of operation
 Agriculture is making marked prog ress in Alaska. in spite of adverse general conditions Homestcaders in the interior in the Panama, Matanus- ka and Susitna valleys, are demon strating the farming resources and possibilities of this rich country Larger and more accessible markets will assuredly mean many thousand acres of rich soil under successful cultivation.
