TRADE POSSIBILITY

Alaska's trade possibilities have
Just begun 10 see real development
In the past few years. In the
boom days Of the gold rushes. com.
merce was relatively small There
was practically no trade develop
mcnt at all until after the Alaska.
Yukon exposition in 1909. which
opened the eyes OF the world to the
wealth Of the treasure chest Of tho
North"
And then, In an effort TO prevent
hnsty and wnsteful development,
the federal government restricted
the opening up Of oil. timber and
coal lands and reserved land priv.
ileges for the government. This
was great drawback and checked
tho growth OF commerce until these
stringent restrictions we're gradual
~ modified during the past five
years.
As these restrictions have been
modified and tho land has been
opened up. commerce has shown
corresponding development. Now.
each years trade averages around
l6O,OOO,0OO and It Is steadily, slowly
and hcalthlly increasing each yenr.
