The lec- lures and the finely colored pictures shown in connection with the lectures are an at traction that should be at tended by all Hyder residents who enjoy seeing the strange sights of foreign lands.

per ore shipped. The decrease of $757,568 in value was caused by a reduction in the market price of copper ore during 1926.
 Shipments of domestic gold md silver during the year amounted to $6,160,942 or an increase of S479,1OO over the shipments of 1925. In spite of the fact that in many parts of Alaska placer mining was badly handicapped by short- lge of rain during the first part of the season, the pro- duction of placer gold show ed a marked increase. The most noteworthy increases were shown in the Seward Peninsula and Fairbanks dis tricts.
 The number of persons ar living in Alaska during 1926 were 30,974, representing an increase of 1,197 over 1925. Departures totaled 3O,934, rep- resenting nearly the total ar rivals. Total arrivals, how- ever, are known to be in excess of the figures shown, as a large number of cannery em- ployees are brought to the Territory in private vessels be- longing to the canneries, and are not counted in the arrivals shown. These employees are later sent to the States by reg. ular passenger lines and conse, quently are included in out going figures.

RYDER 9TH IN FIRST
 DIVISION IMPORTS 1926


 Hyder as a commercial center was evidenced during the past year by an increase of $122,778 over 1925, in the volume of merchandise import eC from the United States, ac- cording to the annual state ment of Customs Collector J. c. Mcbride.
 The statement also discloses that the imports of Hyder were excelled by only five towns in the First Division.
 Ketchikan led the list with imports valued at $5,6O8,23O; Juneau was second with $2,- 704,359; Petersburg, third, with 2,224; Wrangell 4th, with $664,OO2, Sitka fifth with $385, ,511; Hyder sixth with $352,763. Compared with inn ports valued at $229,985 in 1925, Hyder's total last year represents a clean gain of slightly more than 53 percent. Comparison of the figures for the various towns in the dis trict in 1925 also discloses that the value of Hyder's inn ports during that year were excelled by those of eight oth- CT points, including three not included in the above mention ed list.
 The value of merchandise imports for the entire First Division was $16,301,776, a gain of $744,540 over 1925.
 The report discloses further that there were relatively few towns throughout Alaska which imported greater quan- titles of merchandise than Hyder. In the Second Division local imports were exceeded by those of only one town, Nome, which received mer- chandise valued at $530,114. Of the numerous towns in the Third Division, only seven established greater importat- ion records than Hyder. Cor dova led the list of these towns with an import valuat- ion of S1,487,428, the re- maining six showing the fol- lowing totals: Anchorage $1,- 280,664; Seward, $651, ,542; Bristol Bay, $466,130; La touche, $414,784; Kennecott, $409,O43; Kodiak, $399,918.
 Fairbanks, with merchandise receipts valued at $1,848,47O, was the only town in the Fourth Division to excell the local record. Chatanika, the second largest importer in that division received goods valued at $237,635, with Nenana next with $221,506.
 From the above it will be noted that Hyder was not only the sixth largest importer of merchandise in this division but also occupies fourteenth place among all the towns in the Territory. It must also be recalled that Hyder merchants also import considerable quan- titles of goods from Canada, the value of whic is not in- cluded in the above figures, which apply solely to mer-

1926 PROSPEROUS
 YEAR FOR ALASKA

With total commerce of $113,595.685 for 1926, Alas ka enjoyed one of the most prosperous years in it's history. This amount represents an in crease in trade of $18,172,4o9 over 1925, according to the annual report of the U. s. Customs Service. The balance in trade in fav. or of Alaska also showed a marked advance and reached the sum of $49,273,617, which was an increase of $20,249,393 over 1925.
 Following is a brief summary of the value of and also the increases and decreases in the value of the principal com modities shipped from Alaska during 1926, as compared to similar shipments in 1925.
 Salmon, fresh or frozen, val ue, $699,782, increase over 1925, $168, ,372.
 Other fish, fresh or frozen, value, $2,098,518, increase $712,5
 Salmon, canned, value $48,- 405,279, increase, $19,559,- 458.
 Cod, cured or preserved, val ue $201,610, decrease, $780, 555.
 Herring, cured or preserved, value $1,512,941, decrease, $1,769,254.
 Salmon, cured or preserved, value $1,269,366, decrease, $38,76O.
 Meal, fish, value $682,068, increase, S249,733.
 Oil, fish, value $1,350,224, increase, $334,211.
 Fur and seal skins, value $2,97O,409, decrease, $1O,431.
 Copper ore, value $10,771- 799, decrease, $757,568.
 Reindeer meat, value, $127,- 768, increase, $16,316.
 From the above it will be noted the greatest single in- crease was in shipments ot canned salmon. This commod- ity reached the highest peak in the history of the fisheries of Alaska with 8 total a. shown of S48,405, 279, or all increase of $19,559,458 over 1925. These shipments exceed. ed the wartime peak of 1915 by 15,137,676 pounds and $3,485,513 in value. However. in considering the 1926 fig ures of shipments of canned salmon the fact must be borne in mind that a considerable part of the tonnage of 1926 represents the salmon pack of 1925 which was not ship ped out of the Territory until the early months of this year From January up to and in cluding June, 1926, there wal shipped to the United States 14,705, 1928 pounds of canned salmon. This amount must of necessity have been of the 1925 pack, as shipments of the 1926 pack had not yet commenced. Even with this deduction large increase is noted. The decrease in the shipments of herring is at tributed to the poor run in southwest Alaska, where most of the herring salteries are located.

what Makes Stock Marketable.

What Makes Stock Marketable.
We have seen that in order for
security, stock or bond, to qualify
as collateral for loan at the bank
1t must be marketable. Now, how
IL it ascertained whether or not the
stock is marketable-that is. can be
readily sold?
The primary requisite Is that
large number of people must be
familiar with it's merits. If a stock
is to have a ready market informa'
ton about it must be available to the
buyer, and the more potential buyers
there are the greater the marketable
.tv. You might own shares in a small
local enterprise. efficiently managed
and very profitable. and yet your
stock might be entirely unmarketable
because no one outside those imme.
diately interested knew anything
about the affairs Of the company.
Listing a stock does not in itself in
sure marketability. but it does indi.
cate that there is a more or less ex-
tensive public interest in it, and so
tends to help marketability.

Just miss fitting the boy and the
play is an amusing farce, but not
so full of laughs as some of the

One reason for this is that Long

The appealing picture of the over
grown youth just beginning to rea-

and imagining himself heroic
figure in the outward and visible
signs of manhood-his first pair of
long pants-pulls at the heartstrings,
despite the ridiculous adventures into
which he is led by his romantic turn
of mind
The story deals with the small
town youth who. having consumed
much literature on the subject of
romance. longs to be a Don Juan.
Upon acquiring long pants he i'm
mediately sets out upon an adven-
turesome career. including an escape
from matrimony with his childhood
sweetheart and an affair with
gay vampire. who he imagines to
be his lady love, but who in reality
is merely using him to assist her in
obtaining revenge upon her faithless
husband and members of gang of
crooks.
Sorely disillusioned when he sees
his ideal engage in a fist fight with
another woman and then proceed to
drink her liquor straight, Harry tells
her he is through and is about to
depart when her husband appears on
the scene. In the general shooting
which follows both husband and
wife are killed and Harry is arrested.
Eventually his innocence is proved
and then the boy returns home, sad
der wiser, to claim his bride.
In his attempts to escape matri.

COLUMBIA-"ChiIdren of Divorce"

Children of Divorce" with Clara
Bow and Esther Ralston, Is the fea-
ture at Loews Columbia this week.
The play is a tragedy and it attempts
to teach a lesson on the age cold
divorce question.
Clara Bow and Esther Ralston are
the children of the divorce mentioned
in the title. and the opening scenes
show their lonely childhood in a con-
vent where they formed their life
long friendship. But when they grew
up Clara forgot her convent teach
ings and went forth into the world
while Esther remained pious to the
end-the bitter end, of course.
The characters are all people with
too much money, and the great les
son the picture attempts to teach can
hardly be applied to the lives of
those who are likely to see it. The
sets are lavish and the costumes are
gorgeous and evidently no money
was spared to make the production
technically perfect. The two chill
dren used in the convent scenes are
splendid actors and give a touch of
sweetness to an otherwise bitter
story.
A Charley Chase comedy and the
usual news reel with Lindbergh and
President Coolidge completes the
we'll balanced bill.
