 Other interior points visit ed included Mckinley park, which MT. Garfield described as a place of magnificent scen- cry and wonderful sunrises and sunsets; Matanuska Val ley, Chickaloon and Moose Creek, where the Howard-Jen- sen coal mine is located and where they have developed a. 13-foot vein of coal and have over 100000 tons in sight. The fox industry is quite ex- 5ensive and on permanent oasis.
 The salmon run this year will be one of the largest on ,ecord, the speaker asserted. The canneries had all they could handle and in one or ,wo instances had to raise ;heir traps to avoid taking far greater quantities than were 'equired. The herring had just started, he continued, but he samples seen were good and good pack is expected. The lumber industry in South eastern Alaska is in a satis- :actory state and large con- .racts have been received by Wrangell and Ketchikan mills Or export. There also was a great demand for box shocks. The speaker declared that all indications pointed to the largest mineral output in many years. Last year we reached he bottom in mineral product on, he said, and we may ex- oect an upward tendency from now on.
 Concluding his highly inter- 2sting description of. the de- 1elopments found in other 'ections MT Garfield turned lis attention to this district )y stating that his visit vas not the first he had made
 o this locality. He said he lad also been here in 1909, 1911, 1916 and 1918 and ex- pressed regret that he could lot remain longer to look the country over. However he was ',airly we'll acquainted with our progress as a result of keeping in touch with things 1ere through visitors in Se- l title from this district. MT. Garfield characterized the action of locating the boundary line just over the districts best mineral ground as "a freak of misguided judge ment," but added that nature had provided that entry to those properties adjacent to

GARFIELD BRINGS
 MESSAGE OF
 COOPERATION

and asserting that it is the de- sire of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the people of Alaska in all matters wherein its assistance may be of value in promoting the welfare and progress of Alaska communities and the development of the Territorial resources; Charles D. Garfield, Secretary of the Alaska de- partment of the great Seattle commercial organization, at a dinner given in his honor by the local Chamber of Com merce at the Ideal Cafe, We'd nesday evening, declared that the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce is willing to help Hyder as we'll as any other commun- ity to get what it wants in the line of public Improvements. Mir. Garfield, asserted that one of the principal reasons of his coming to Hyder was to learn what the people of the com munty need in order that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce may lend its help and cooper ation.
 About 35 persons participat- ed in the dinner including number of visitors, among whom were E. O. Watson, 0; Vancouver, organizer of the Northland Mining Co; M. R Gucker, of Seattle, represent ative of the Swift Packing Co; Dr. H. H. Hall of Ketchikan and J. H. Walters, engineer ing representative of the John. son-Gardner Go. of Portland.
 Following his introduction by President Merl F. Thomas MT. Garfield extended greet ings from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and from the various Alaskan commercial organizations visited by hin during the course of his visit in Alaska. Referring to tho latter Mir. Garfield expressed the hope that the time is no, far distant when all of the Alaska Chambers of Com merce will form a bond of uni ty for the welfare of the Ter ritory. The speaker said he had spent six weeks in Alas ka, starting from Seattle with the Young Mems Business Club of that city. MT. Garfield asserted that he had tried tC induce the Club members tt visit Hyder, and was unable tc do so. He hoped, however, thai some time in the future he could organize another trip to the principal places in the Ter ritory which would include Hyder, which he considered one of the leading points of interest in the North. The speaker then referred to his visit to Wrangell and said he was much interested in the government dredging operatr ions in Wrangell Narrows Mir. Garfield stated that it hac taken much persistent work by various parts of the Terri tory assisted by Seattle to gel the project under way. The opening of the channel will be 8 tremendous benefit to Alas ka transportation, as well as tc the Territory at large, he as serted.
 During the course of his trip, Mr. Garfield visited Jun.

ship of over 4,000. The work of the organization is divid- ed among four different de- partments. It expends in Alas ka work $12,000 annually, a part of which goes to send MT. Garfield among us to tell us of Seattle's friendship and of it's desire to help us to help ourselves.
 Responding to MT. Garfield, Attorney Ernest Blue voiced the appreciation of all Hyder citizens for the efforts of the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce in behalf of Alaska and assured it's representative that Hyder is strongly with them, and especially with re- spect to it's intention to boost each community, but not to the disadvantage of another community. We need two or three things badly, he said. The first need is transport ation, the absence of which greatly handicaps mining en- deavor and renders mining almost prohibitive in some To- calities. It costs 5 cents to land goods in Hyder and 20 cents more to land them 25 miles back of Hyder. The Bureau of Public Roads has been gen. erous to us, he continued. It has done everything possible; but we want and need more. MT. Garfield had pointed out that great development would ensue from building roads and that is what we want trails and wagon roads over the hills. MT. Blue said we cannot agree with MT. Gar field that the mineral is on the Canadian side of the boundary. There is more on the American side of the Sal mon Valley, but as yet unde- veloped. We are 5 years be- hind our Canadian cousins in development, he declared. Then we have a river that may take half the town away any day and have been ham, mering away for years to get $25,000 to confine the stream to it's proper channel 3l of a mile away. The Roads bureau has done good work here, too, but not enough, and greater assistance must be had to re- move the danger. Keep in mind, he said, that it takes money to develop a quartz camp and if you will assist us in wedding out the un- scrupulous from the scrupu- lous, and when a legitimate man with a legitimate propo- sition comes to your town, give him the glad hand and help him along; it will help the district and also help to weed out the man who is a detriment to the camp, which has been full of them in the past.
 MT. J. A. Hall, president ot , the Bank of Hyder, spoke briefly, stating that visits to Seattle had convinced him that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is doing excellent work for Alaska. If we coop crate with them and keep To. cal needs before them they

fled, however, that our Can adian cousins felt that we were just as much interested in the development of that section as they are and willing that we come in with our cap ital, ingenuity and enterprise to help develop the country on their side of the boundary. It seems, he said, that from what has already been ac- complished and from what the future appears to have in store, that we have one of the most important mining section in the world.
 The district has already one of the largest dividend paying properties in the world and there seems to be every assur- ance that there will be others. 1t appears, he said, that enough mineral has been To- cated to insure a great future production and now it re- mains for the ingenuity and skill of man and industry to develop and bring into pro duction those vast ore bodies. MT. Garfield then offered the prediction that in the next | few years we will see a won- derful development in this section. We of the Hyder of today are the nucleus, the foundation of future very prosperous little city of Fly der, he said.
 Improvement in mining con- ditions will follow the open ing of transportation, the speaker declared, and we are bending every effort to get improved transportation more roads of capacity and construction to carry on the necessary work.
 "One of the principal reasons for my coming here," he said, lis to find out what the people of Hyder want the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce to help them in. A few years ago the policy of Seattle business men tended more to- ward leading Alaska. Later on that policy was changed and now the object is to help Alaska to help hcrselfy. "We feel" he continued" that you are big en ugh, s. ong enough ard wise enough to choose the things most beneficial 4nd desirouS for your well fare. If you will slip the word along to us as to what you want us to help you do we will try to carry out our part"
 MT. Garfield then explained that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is interested in promoting the welfare of each community but not in 1 such a way as to interfere with another community, the general policy being to de- vote iself mainly to those needs which tended to ad- vance the interests of the whole Territory.
 In conclusion he outlined briefly the scope and charact- CT of the work carried on by the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, stating that it is now one of the best known com. mercial organizations in the United States, with a member

WALL STREET BRIEFS

NEW YORK. August 80 R).-The
renort of the Cuba Co. FOR the year
ending June 80, including subsidiary
and affiliated companies, showing
tota, net income of $4,150,867. with
about $4,000 in subsidies from the
Cuban government, reflects the Varl-
ous adverse circumstances affecting
Cuban general business In the IL
months. chiefly due to the low price
of Cuba's staple crop, sugar. Gross
revenues were 1884, 804. Railroad
earnings also were decreased by
strikes, reduction in some freight
rates and by the governmental order
bringing the crop to an abnorma!iv
early termination, the report said. The
company's proportion of consolidated
surplus on June 80 was S32, 1852 ,4SS.
Its stock touched new low for the
year Saturday at 315s, compared with
che years high of 53as.
A crop survey compiled by the Bank
Of Montreal states harvesting mas
been resumed in the Canadian prairie
provinces after being held up by wet
weather, and many districts anticipate
a better yield than appeared probable
a few weeks ago. Yields are gen
orally slightly below averages. Good
average all-around crops are reported
in the maritime provinces, with equal
ly good fruit and grain crops in Brit
fish Columbia.
Smaller crops at slightly higher
prices are indicated by agricultural
conditions this year. says a review
by Dominick & DominiCk, Stock EX
change brokers, a very large total
wheat crop, coupled with reduction in
Canada, Europe and Argentina. being
n favorable factor in the present stu
alton. With the exception of Winter
wheat, potatoes, rice, fruit and pos
sibly cotton, all crops show a decrease
from the 1925 figures. The report
added that the price trend of all inn
Nortant crops has been upward the
last few weeks. but whether the farm
er'S income as whole would equal
the years 1925-26 was still conjecture.
The New York Steam Corporation,
which supplies heat to many large
Office buildings in the city, increased
its net earnings in the fiscal year
ended June 80 by about As per cent
In the first half of the year the COM
pany made contracts representing ad-
ditional annual revenue of more than
100000 compared with 100000 new
