.NEWSY LETTER
 FROM SEATTLE /. ABOUT ALASKA

SEATTLE, Jan. 9.-After a careful survey of the Alaska situation, follow ing reports from confidential sources, A. F. Haines, general manager of the Admiral Line, predicts general re- vival of Alaska business, which will probably tax the capacity of Alaska Transportation companies during the coming season.
 We anticipate the doubling of our Alaska business the coming year as compared with this year. said A. F. Haines, vice president and general manager of the Pacific Steamship Co.,, the Admiral Line- "As result of the revival in salmon prices, cannery op- erations this year, it is expected, will double those of the past year Last season the cannery plants used up all their surplus of tin plate, boxes, and other equipment and supplies They packed less than 50 per cent of their normal output. For the coming season they must purchase new supplies in great quantities. They will send more men north. The national administra- ton has awarded mail contracts for the southeastern and southwestern Alaska routes as we'll as for the west ward route from Seward The award ing of these contracts shows that the administration is not only interested in Alaska but is ready and willing to help in it's development in every way possible. That is one of the most welcome signs of the times. Early completion of the governments Alas ra railroad is another factor. It will stimulate business in the region through which it runs. The decline in prices and in wages means that gold mining will begin to come to the front again in the north in 192223.
 Completion of the Government rail road from Seward. Alaska, on the ocean, to Fairbanks in the interior, has effected such a marked reduction in transportation costs to the interior

WHY ALASKA .
 IS THE BUTT /. OF COUNTRY

About the widest story we nave yet heard from Washington regarding Alaska as it is" is told herewith by an official who has more talk than sense.
 Alaska has millions of mosquitoes, but not one house fly according to Dr. J. M. Aldrich of the United States National museum, who made an insect survey there. Hordes of mosquitoes during the Alaskan summer in places as far north as Seward and Fairbanks provide continual entertainment for the inhabitants" says Detroit News.
 "'When the women of Alaska wish to wear thin silk stockings they have to place protective layer of paper underneath as an armor-plate against the mosquitoes is one story that Dr, Aldrich tells. Laborers wear mos quito nets and heavy gloves.
 sMUDGEs ARE EVERYWHERE
 "Smudges are a national institu- tion there. They are everywhere. In the interior. where the Alaskan sum- mer is sufficiently warm for swim ming, the boys construct hut of protect it from mosquitoes by a smudge, and enter and exit from the fn Iof
 Alaskan mosquitoes do not ct as carriers of malaria and yellow fever as those of the United States and tropics, but they are very vicious. They literally fill the air In one sweep of an insect collecting net about his head, Dr. Aldrich was able to capture 110 mosquitoes.
 '.The absence of house flies in Alaska has raised the question as to whether there is northern limit to the house fly Heretofore it has been assumed that domestic fly accompan- ies man wherever life is possible, but Dr. Aldrich's observation has thrown a new light on the subject"
 Maybe Dr. Aldrich is one of the exhibits" in the National Museum
 he ought to be, from his talk on "vitaP' subjects of Alaska. Maybe he is womanhater, or one with no knowledge of women-he must be, when he springs on an experienced public the word picture of a woman encasing her legs in paper so that she can wear silk stockings. You can't tell us that any such woman has existed since Eve's debut. Over on the fringe of Alaska, the coast, where the Beachcombers live, they may have unciviized practises, for we know lit- tie about those make-believe "Alas- kans" who are there because they didn't have the "guts" to Climb the Hill beyond which the alfalfa is thick est. But in the REAL Alaska-well, the Doctor couldn't have visited it and gone away with such story. AS for houseflies in Alaska, he's crazy in the bean-they are thicker than hairs on a dog most summers here, and there are more flyswatters sold in Alaska per capita than anywhere else in the world There is a natural jealousy between houseflies and mos quitoes, and when the mosquitoes have an unusually good year the house. flies go away mostly and hide their heads in jealousy, and vice versa.
 It is this transformation peddled by Washington officials which causes much of the misunderstanding of Alas ka and tends to make it considered "Freakland," and set Curry to build ing bills to take our Territory's con. duct out of the hands of those who know something about this country and people.-Fairbanks News Miner.

A few weeks ago, 1t is pointed out, United Kingdom buyers were scarcely interested in pink salmon at 80 to 90 cents dozen cans Today, however, more favorable exchange and de- creased transportation costs mean that the, English broker can pay $1 to $1.O5 a dozen and still lay down the salmon in his home market at cost even lower than when he paid the 80 to 90-cents price.
 Two companies will begin drilling for oil in Alaska the coming season. The Alaska Pacific Development Com pany will start an oil rig in the Cold Bay district early in the season. The Alaska Anchorage Syndicate will be- gin drilling early on it's 12,800 acres between Point Mckenzie and Knik.

that steamship companies expect sub stantially increased freight move ments to Southwestern Alaska and the interior this summer. Since the rail road began handling traffic the price of beef at Fairbanks has decreased 25 cents a pound; oats that sold there month ago at $40 ton are now quoted at $75 ton; and wood which costs $13O a cord has been replaced by Ignite coal delivered at Fairbanks at $500 ton No boom is promised in Alaska in 1922 but as result of the operation of the Government rail road and decreased costs, placer gold mining and much development work will be undertaken on a large scale after years of inactivity. The steam ship companies are preparing to handle many more tourists to Alaska in 1922 than in any previous year.

Canned salmon movement from Se- attle during the last several weeks is unprecedented for this season of the year The estimated volume of busi- ness is between 80,0OO and 100000 cases. Regarded as an encouraging sidelight is the jump in demand from the United Kingdom as it indicates the British Columbia pack is virtually exhausted and hence out of competi- tion with Pacific Northwest stocks.
